Why so few parts for our cars?, hmmmm!??! Options

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 ...

There are countless parts for our car in the Parts Data base in the Home Page. As for the aftermarket intake manifolds... our cars are not Civics and Integras. We don't have THAT much promotions on our cars for aftermarket manuafactures to create parts for us. If you wa nt more parts, you are gonna have to convince those people that our cars are worth investing parts in. That is gonna be hard becuz you will rarely see any 6th generation Celicas and you are gonna have to convince the producer of the next Fast and the Furious to throw in a 6th Gen Celica to eat a Supra (which has happened already, Tufy!). Our cars are exotic and hard to find just like the Supra but yet they have so many parts for the Supra yet alone expensive. It's all about promotion and money. They have to make money out of the parts and there has to be a large number of demand. Otherwise, you are gonna have to go with swaps. Now, if you can't afford the swaps and tend to go towards the N/A route, think about what other Toyotas out there that carry the same engine. Celica ST (7AFE 1.8L) = Corolla 93-97. Celica GT (5SFE 2.2L) = Camry 92-01, Solara 99-01, and MR2 91-99. If you are looking for engine work and can't find the parts, most likely the aftermarket parts for those cars will fit becuz they all have the same engines as our cars. Hope this helps.
