1980 a40 20R aftermarket support?

what's up guys. my buddy from work just got a 1980 Celica with a 20R and he asked me if i'd help him work on it. But i'm a complete noob with these cars and i'm having a hard time finding aftermarket parts for it (ie: coilovers, test pipe, headers, catback...). i tried searching under 'A40' to no avail. Also when i used '1980Toyota celica 20R' all i got was pickup truck stuff. lol. So can anyone point me in the right direction. thanks

The pickup truck used the 20R and 22R engines, which are basically the same engine apart from capacity (ie share a lot of parts). The pickup websites will be able to help you with 20R questions.

Here is a forum dedicated to the old rear wheel drive Celicas
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/classic-celica/

And of course my own web site about old Celicas.
