Jaja, even if the Civic is damn popular, I wouldn´t compare it with it because the Civic doesn´t feels cheap, it comes nicely equiped, with distinctive design (the old generation, please) and it is reliable and reasonably safe, wich the Accent achieves none of those

Just to let you all know that no dealership can void your warrenty for any aftermarket part that get put on your car. It is against the law to do so. Unless you modify OEM equipment. I use to have firedns that work for a hyundai dealership and they told me about that. Plus i also use to own a 97 HA GT.

good idea for not only customizing but 2 improve performance on these lil toy cars we drive but i still lov mine tho i dono y

does anyone know for a fact if the rims Konig Monsoons will fit an Accent. i'm buying these wheels and rims from this guy and he has a 97 honda civic and they fit his i don't know if they will fit mine.

Well, the Tib motor is cool, but there have been people to turbo the accent motors,, the car just needs to be more stable at high speed, so before dropping crazy cash into the motor.. get brakes and rims.. lowring the car would also help with higher speeds.. Sure they arent drag cars in the making but they can hit 130mph on the freeway (first hand experience) I think it helped that I was going downheill, anyhoot, with some money the car canbe pretty nice and pretty quick.. and dont buy focal rims, they suck... buy some volk or SSR, maybe even a set of Rotas.. the 4-lug brembo kits for v-dubs will also fit the Accent hubs.. good brake= save your life at 100mph=.. PEACE!!!!!

I don't know. I have a 2002 Hyundai Accent. The only thing I bought for it is a CD deck and a K&N drop-in air filter. I would suggest the K&N for any car for anyone just because it's seemed to of helped my gas mileage greatly.

The thing is, from what my dad has told me, with these engine swaps, the ride becomes uncomfortable and other things. So a lot more modifications would need to be completed before a car is back to normal with more horsepower. Although, you guys have also covered that... So this whole paragraph is in vain... How to save it... how to sa... OH! So, have you found that this is true? With new engine = bad ride/uncomfortableness/other bad side effects?

In my mind, I would of much rather had the $27k for a WRX and a little left over. I'm also all drooly over the WRX, but this, is a Hyundai form! So I'll keep it to it.

But you also have some... Is 333hp (correct hp, right?) Accent. Which has to be unique. Good job... You crazy asshole. I mean that in the most endearing way possible.

Dude, if you are gonna mod your car seriously, you might as well expect a horrible ride, so you don't feel bad when the ride is a little better than bad... hehe... my sister has a 2002 Accent thats okay to ride in but its like a she male whore in roller skates in the twisties....My cuz on the other hand has a teg that forces you to got to the chiropracter but it handles like its rails..... Anyway, my point is, unless you wanna spend tons of cash, you won't get benz comfort with skyline performance (with very few exempted cars).. and finally, if you wanna mod your car, forget what your dad and your warranty manual says, "you do what you want!!!".....

[RB26DETT34]

Oh dear god no. I wouldn't want to modify the Accent. I don't think 90hp would be a good base for any mods. :P

I would like a 240SX. There is a guy selling a RX7 10th Anniversary that I would like to get my hands on, but I'm not sure. Insurance could be a big hassle. I've already totalled one car, moderate speeding ticket and a Careless Driving knocked down. They're reaaaaaaaaaaalllll happy with me.

[IwannaDRift]

O ic , you've seen my car in my signature right.... 240SX?? its the baddest car in th world to me... It can't move yet but I know it will never be legal.... THhe exhaust pushes past 110Db easily..... Just remember, fu** the law and whoever when ur modding ur car.. And when people tell you that something is illegal (SR20's and exhausts) tell um to fu** themselves. PEAS!!!!!

[RB26DETT34]

Hahaha, well, just imagine telling an officer to eff off. No offense, but I think something like that is stupid to get pulled over. I would just suggest something with a street legal noise level with performance in mind. In my year of driving I've been pulled over twice. Once for speeding and once for careless driving. Its not the greatest thing for the officer to give you a ticket. But again, its your car, you can do what you want. My friend had a Tiburon with illegal tint (I believe it was rated at 2).

Anything I plan to do with a car would be legal, as far as I can see.

[IwannaDRift]

Thats cool dude, but I don't really care about rules... They make em, I break em, I say.. But I can totally understand where you coming from... I don't want tickets but, they are inevitable in the world of racing (street-wise that is) At least John Law will have something to bitch about when my Apexi N1's kill his f****** eardrums And, I've been pulled over three times and I still only have my permit... Twice for speeding (no tickets thank god).. and once for yanking the handbrake in my sisters Accent while turning onto the freeway.. dumb I know... but the only way to roll around here.. (that got me a ticket but it was cleared because I said I was tryin to avoid a collision) hehe

[RB26DETT34]

lol, Did the back end come around at all? I've done that twice after it's rained and the back has come around and I got it straight again pretty quickly. It wasn't a huge drift or anything, but it was jolly good fun. My friend says it was luck, but I've done it twice, and after the snows I would go out and do this kind of crap and only lost control a few times.

Although, now, I have pull on the emergancy break really hard for any effect.

[IwannaDRift]

Well, the back end did come fully around but I didn't recover.. I had to slowly pull off the side grass... hehehhe.. Yeah, the handbrake is really loose now, loose to the point that I have to pull it with all my mght to get any squeak.,.. hehee

[RB26DETT34]

Hahaha, you crazy ass.
Yeah, that emergancy break really needs to be tugged for anything to happen after a few mistreatments. My friend asked if he could just slam it up. He did and nothing happened. He tried harder and then we could eventually feel it. Soooo lame.

[IwannaDRift]

Yup, but i know that there is a way to tighten the cable, the guys at our dealership did it.... Then it locked up again, but that was before I spun, so now it is the same....
