Looking for some info

Post by DaewooGeek »

Hey there fellow Daewoo owners. I currently own a 2001 Daewoo Lanos (hatchback) and I'm looking at doing some simple mods to the current car now to increase my performance a little and visually aswell. I believe what what I have for an engine in there is a 1.5 SOHC. (It's cold, dark and wet out there right now). What I'm finding to be a problem for me is finding sites that I can order performance parts for this car. Also, is there any turbo kits for the lanos? I live in Western Canada, and the City where I'm from doesn't have much for helping on my car (hehe, too many civic's). Anyways, if anyone could provide some links to some great sites that I can start to shop for some parts to upgrade my engine I would be happy. Along with this, I am looking for some great sites for body kits, head lights/tail light mods, etc. I know I'd love to do something great with this car now that I've paid it off :) Other than that, it's a great car and I'm happy to have found a site like this to read from others experiences. I'm not afraid to do a little mod work if it needs to be done, but I would like to not have to put this car into the shop to do the work. Thanx again everyone for thier help.

You cant buy much stuff at all for Daewoos.

Plenty of how-to's and guides here to help you do/make stuff yourself though :)

Ya, with my limitations of doing custom work for the engine, i'm really trying hard not to do that, hehehe, otherwise I'd just aswell find a different engine for it (buddy say's a small block v8 would work :P ) I've gone through alot of pages last night but sadly didn't find a whole lot for what I'm looking for but it will take me days to go through all the threads here :)

I was a complete noob at cars, so don't worry about that!

Look at getting a different air filter setup, removing resonator for starters - again all in the how-to's.
