99 Accent

[Platinum6316]

I have a stock 99 GSi. I'd like to hop it up without spending Mucho Bucks. I'd like to know where I can get engine parts without having them custom made. Such as a Exhaust Header and a better intake manifold. Perhaps even a performance chip. I'd also like to stiffen the suspension without lowering the car, since I live in Canada and need to drive it in the snow. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

you guys and your "performance chips" on near stock cars. check out www.hyundaiperformance.com, go to the newbie forum, and read the "rules for newbies".

Well, I found your reply not very helpful.
Perhaps you could include some real info that someone could use.

the cheapest way to get serious hp gains out of an accent is by doing the beta swap. its more or less a bolt in affair from what i hear. it also offers a much more poerful platform for future modding. check in the hybrid section of hyundai performance. im currently getting ready to do the swap myself

listen dude, if you went there and looked, you would see why "performance chips" are stupid. the ones you can get on ebay are 5 cent resistors, that do almost nothing. real performance chips are not needed until you start changing the compression via high CR pistons, or boost.

also on that site, if you searched in the forums, you would find that performance intake manifolds(usually polished and ported) will do close to nothing for a 1.5L engine with mild modifications.

also, if you went there, you could find that strut and sway bars help a lot with stiffening the car and reducing body roll.

also, if you went there and looked around, just a little, or even asked a question if you really couldnt find anything, you would see exactly what uk_zak posted. here, i even found it for you. its made sticky, so it remains at the top of the page, really easy to find for people.

there are close to no performance parts made for the x3, so saving up for a beta swap is the best way to get more power.

there ya go, right there on a spoon for you when you could easily found it by yourself.

Tibby ... I'm sorry. I didn't fully understand your first post.
I have found what you mentioned, I apologize for my gruff reply.
Thanks for the info dude.
