Go For it!
I'm thinking of getting a new accent too so it might be interesting what aftermarket parts are out there for the hyundai's. I know that the old hyundai's shared engine from mitsubishi, i think the newer ones are actually hyundais' own engines and not mitsubishi... but i might be mistaken. Anyway, i know that they are pretty big in korea and they have turbos for tiburon and stuff... maybe even import some parts and be the first domestic turbo tiburon... heheheh :smoker2:
who can pass up a new car for under 10K with 100K warranty!

10 yrs./100K until you mod it. believe me, when they see a custom intake/exhaust, port & polished head, any of that and warranty is void. regardless, i think you're right about the recent models being void of mitsu. parts. it would be cool if someone who HAD on of these cars would mod it and speak up! will the tiberon engine go into an accent? HELLO PEOPLE! you all should take lessons from us nissan SER/G20 owners. go look at that forum and feel ashamed.:licker:

Rumor
I heard a recent rumor from a hyundai dealer that their new tiburons are going to look totally different and will come in V6's totally labeling them as sports cars in the books of insurance companies!

You´ve got to be mad to think you´re gonna get enough power from an plain, banaly unadorned 2001/2 Hyundai Accent even if you put 2 turbos on it.
The Accent was conceived strictly for going from point A to point B (not recomendable ou of town though) with a very basic equipment and a low consumpiton fuel gas. I think Hyundai is risking a lot by putting so much guarantee on cars they don´t even trust, lets see what happens in the next 10 years... Oh, I copied a safety fact from the web; ´The Accent earned two stars but the last star is flagged to indicate the unacceptably high risk of chest injury in the side impact. For this reason, the car would not meet the requirements of legislation commencing next October for new model types. The passenger compartment became unstable in the impact. The driver's door lower hinge became detached, while the upper hinge was nearly detached. The door itself had lost much of its strength – its front pillar was displaced inwards and seams in the footwell split open. The driver's head contact was stable on the airbag but his chest was hit by the airbag as it inflated. Overall, protection for the driver's lower limbs was weak or worse.´ ok, this is for model year ´99, and for the new model (2000-) the Accent (not confirmed) did got 2 stars with no one flagged.

this 'Coupe' may just pull them into a beter performance class in my mind as well. They obviously have the style down, its just the dependability issues. 10yrs. thats a *damn* long time for a car to run w/o defect unless its quality. but the new SE-R is out and for 17K$ you get one LOADED...dont think ill have the chance to check out the coupe any time soon with that looming about.

That 10-year guarantee means that if you buy a Hyundai the company is gonna have your car fixed for free during those 10 years, because obvioulsy there´s gonna be more than a problem with it. :evillaugh :greenchai
And yeah the Nissan SE-R looks to be a serious-to-consider car with a good performance under 20k, and it even as 4 doors! (roominess+)

I just bought a 2002 accent have 17" focal rims, k&n intake, and stereo system when i bought my rims i took them to the dealership and had them put them on so they didnt void my warranty talk to your dealership before you do anything make sure it wont void the warranty had a friend with an accent went through 3 trans in it from mesing with them on the third they told him he replaced factory parts and it voided the warranty all he did was put different rims on it so be careful

fast excel
Firstly the later Model hyundais have hyundai engines in them(from about 1993 onwards). I dont have an Accent but i have a Excel with an Accent engine in it. When I bought my excel it had 112000km's on it so i went out and bought a near new accent engine(3500km's)and gearbox that bolts straight in. For the person that wants to get some ideas for mos on the engine, I have hardened internals to cope with a HKS turbo and front 18psi boost(maximum boost is 28psi)i also have a HKS front mount intercooler. i also have braided lines and crome rocker cover. I have a 3 inch exhasut with 5 inch tip and custom extractors. I have 18 inch Rays engineering whiteracing wheels i have alot more mods but i couldnt be bothered listing them all. Anyway this all costed me $27000 including the car. Its not bad to go from a 74 KW at the flywheel stocker to a 250KW at the wheel V8 killa
