Toyota MR2 with Yamaha parts.

Post by stecad »

Been renovating my MkII, Rev II 3SGTE and have come across several parts with Yamaha stamped onto them.
The latest is the TVIS block which has Toyota at one end and Yamaha at the other.
Purely out of interest does anyone know the history of this relationship?
