Yeah but would that make it the lanos engine?

It could be a optra engine still as they have a 1.8 version of the 2.0 that seams to be putting out the same #s

it is an optra engine

Just of the top of my head..vent visors, ground effects, wings, springs, intakes, plug wires, pulleys, bulbs, carbon fiber dash kits, exhaust & there is other stuff as well. Most of it though comes over seas and a few things from Canada.
I do not see support growing that much. It seems many do not want to spend money on these cars. Sure there are a handfull but I have contacted 50-80 vendors and 99% are not interested. I will get 50 emails and one purchase. I owned a Civic when it all started blowing up in 94 and I can tell you even with the world wide web it just isn't getting started with this car like it deserves. 360 has had similar situations. I remember reading that it took forever to get 10 people to throw down for a very nice pulley. It seems many want to but few do. I know when I was 21 I had at least $5000 in my Civic and it was sweet for the day. I paid $150 back then for just a midget short ram kit & $600 for clear headlamp assembly. Really stuff is very reasonable now a days.

that's a lot......but i am looking for a discrete modification where it don't appear that fierce but if needed, it can run.....guess i am asking for too much....but from where i come from, the extra attention from a fierce kit attracts vandals and lots of notices for vehicle inspections...

I was not aware any changes was being made so soon to Optra and this new "Forenza" it is being based off the Lacetti 2.

That car is a turbocharged prototype or test car or something, there is a nice article somewhere on the forum about the power output and everything but it won't be put into production, the new bumper is probabally modified to fit the intercooler but otherwise everything is normal. I wouldn't be surprised if they changed the Forenza so soon, there is an all-new Aveo in production already and will be released shortly.

turbocharged?????

wow.... i need that for my heavy auto ride....hehe
