Yup parts are far and few between. from what I can gather you're either gonna be venturing into the unknown or buying something else. There ARE a few people who have modified these cars but someone by the name TheSute74 had videos posted on YouTube about 4 years ago and hasn't replied XD (he has a 2.0T I believe). I also saw someone on Instagram post a dragstrip video of a heavily modified version but couldn't find the original owner. I did briefly come across some Russian forum that seemed to have a bit of posting but I didn't look into it. If you have the same engine as mine. I believe it may be possible to run a supercharger at maybe 7 pounds of boost but you'll have to do a good bit of other stuff to facilitate that, not quite sure how I would go about doing that. There is a website called TopBodyKit.co.uk (not sure if its reputable) they have bumpers and stuff some of it looks okay but a lot looks kind of yucky. There is also pro tuning.com that has a few small accent parts.
They are a lovely car. If you're gonna keep it id say just take proper care of it and do your research for now. You're gonna have to do some digging. Happy Hunting!

Of course, the Mitsubishi is a B4184SM ...ok its a volvo engine , which started life in 6 cylinder form in 1990 in the 960. It then got a 5 cylinder version in 1992 in the 850 and the 4 cylinder in 1996 in the S/V40. well proved and very trouble free . Its not worth "Tuning" you just swap a 2 litre version or for your 200 bhp change the car for a T4.

It is quite similar. the only thing with this engine is the infamous cvvt rattle. I'm thinking about just rocking it till it dies/ get something else once I buy my own house. Then maybe k swap it and turn it into a yute or something xd. of course doing something like that will be a few years down the line because houses are expensive and so are car parts.
