I have noticed in my recent travels that it is extremely hard to find performance or even aftermarket parts for our cars. I was wondering if anybody knows of a place that is good to shop other than ebay. Im looking specifically right now for an intake manifold. but so far i've had no luck, ANYWHERE i've looked frown.gif...

WTF? anyone notice that the ST manifold is more expensive than the gt? cwm13.gif

any idea why that is?

Edit: To answer your question, its because the celica is not very popular as far as the import tuning world is concerned. There just isnt a high enough demand for aftermarket performance parts for our cars so no one bothers to make any. That all changes with a 3sgte though biggrin.gif I found that fustrating at first, before i found this site, but i see it more as a blessing because it gives you a chance to have an original looking car as oppossed to your typical hondas or subarus. (Dont get me wrong I love all cars and working on them, wrx,s2000,DA6...etc. but i would want my celica to stand out wink.gif )
