| Any websites to find headers cats and mufflers with every thing in between? Any websites where I can purchase aftermarket parts from windscreens to intakes would be greatly appreciated. |

Check through the archives. Once you've done some reading, you'll either figure out that this is NOT a "plug & play" car when it comes to aftermarket equipment. As such, you'll either have to do a LOT more research than you initially planned on and be prepared to get your hands dirty quite a bit OR find a car that is more suitable to your desires in terms of dressing it up quickly and easily.

I'm never looking for the easy way.. This is my third topaz, all third gens. My last project was a 1985 chevy chevette. $7,000 later and three years I had a car with leather interior, doe skin carpet an electric turbo (yes electric) a 5 speed out of a cadillac and a rear end from a chevrolet S10.
I don't condone drinking and driving but heres a stupid video to laaugh at.
I'm the chubby one!

All I do is research. I've been working by my grandfathers side since my first mini bike. A true italian man thats next to impossible to work with, stubborn and patient at the same time. I'm used to his 70 years of knowledge at my fingertips. He's developed stomach cancer in the last 6 months and can no longer work by my side. I'd come up with these Crazy automotive ideas and he would actually work with me as they failed horribly.
This is where you guys come in... Still hard for me to admit defeat, and now theres no one around to keep me centere and explain why most of my ideas aren't done for a reason. This will be the FIRST car project done on the solo!!!! Wish me luck. Sorry in advance for all rediculous questions.
By the way, heres my list of cars I've {we've} dedsigned.
1983 mercury Capri 3.8
1985 chevy chevette 1.6
1989 dodge daytona 2.5
1990 ford escort GT 1.9
1988 chryler lebaron turbo
1990 mercury topaz red 2.3
1990 mercury topaz blue 2.3
2004 ford focus zx3 2.3 pzev
1990 toyota corolla dx 1.8 |

TThotrod was the only source for long tube headers on 2.3L Tempo's. He has since stopped building them. He may still have some of the shorter, earlier versions that he had made though. You may want to contact him via the PM service offered at this website to find out the specifics.
I've been waiting for a small settlement regarding one of my vehicles that was damaged in an accident. If & when that comes in, which should be very shortly, i'm going to have Burns Stainless design a header for the 2.5L project car that i'm still accumulating parts for. Needless to say, i will end up having at least one of these built. Since i just purchased a welder not that long ago, i may end up doing it myself.
If there is enough demand for something like this, i may consider having a few more made up. Then again, i've seen how things work around here in terms of "group buys" and people coming up with money, which isn't too encouraging for stuff like this. That's why TThotrod stopped building the version that he had i.e. no sales even though he was the only source for a product of this nature. Sean
