your really not gonna find anything beyond rims for our car. anything you want will have to be fabricated, or modded from another car. or swap it to a dohc 2.0 4g63. :)

he is right man. you have to have vision, or be crazy to get into building one of our cars. if your looking for power, you need a motor swap, there isnt a thing you can do to that thing in there. if your going to do that then the 2.0 dohc, is the only way to go. if your looking to make some body mods, get out your tape, and start checking the size of everything. then go to the junk yard and start looking for cars that are close. find bumpers, lips, and anything else you like, then cut to fit. get good with fiberglass and bondo and you can make it look good. one last thing, good luck.

Carb or MPI? If injected, check out the 4g15 upgrades there are a couple that may be a fun project. If your good with cars do a 4g6x swap.

You can make the car look good and keeping it stock might be the cheapest way.
You can lower the car by cutting springs and replacing shocks. Kyb shocks are on sale
at us autoparts (very good price).
Have fun!
