A Southern Accent

Wooty wooot!

[audobon]

WEKFEST CURSE WAS REAL.


FRONT BUMPER DIDNT FIT
LEFT FENDER DIDNT FIT
REAR WHEELS LEAKED
NEW FRONT TIRES RUBBED

RODE TO HOUSTON WITH NO FRONT BUMPER, NO FENDERS.

DIDNT SHOW, PAID $49 DOLLARS TO SPECTATE AND WAIT IN A 2 HOUR LINE.

------ update doe -------

REDID THE WHEELS LAST NIGHT AFTER GETTING BACK FROM HOUSTON, THEY ARE HOLDING AIR!!!

SMH!!! wow... all major shows have a curse! I blew my first bag at SOWO

I know that feels mane.

I was getting the elantra ready for wekfest 2013 at the mary when a truck tire almost ripped the mirror off, some guy managed to open his door and leave a huge mark on my perfect door and when i called him out on it, he used his family excuse, threatened to get me fired, and sped off. Tire delaminated and cracked a rim, then I had to repair the exhaust which took away from my new fender money... It went from almost show ready to crap in about 2 months before the show...

KDM life sucks sometimes.

It sucks so hard, my car proved its reliability to me, so all the shit that happened could have happened to anybody. Slapping my rear wheels on today though, finally got my rear wheels to hold air, so i'll be posting a picture related to fitment today.

[audobon]

my shitment.

cant wait to slap these on the fronts and find some 10's.

[audobon]

Well, i've been thinking about it & im trying to keep it as real with this build as possible, and stick to what i've always wanted. So with that said...


I will be working on building this motor + turboing, leaning more towards reliability versus power. 250hp max (since that's what I hear is all the alpha transmission can handle) and I also will be sticking to my avatar's color scheme, going with the stock silver that our some of our accents come in.

Should be an interesting year coming up. Trying to make it into SEMA 2014 guys, WISH ME LUCK!!

[244Brick]

...?

Wow, I missed your last post.

Jattus just released a new turbo kit for the beta2, and when it's all said and done, it will cost $2029 before shipping and taxes. No need for tuning, it's all plug and play.

It's not intercooled though, so you might want to add one, and you either have to get your own, or order one from them.

They are running an elantra at 11 psi un-intercooled on this setup.

[audobon]

had to raise my fronts because my axles were rubbin, oh whales.

[rice4life]

Damn. Looks good!

Get your bumper on!

[audobon]

Damn. Looks good!

Get your bumper on!

The one I bought was a knockoff, OEM is so esspensive. Maybe next month, i've been dropping so much money on my car, need a break to just enjoy it.


- front splitter w/ bumper coming
- 11:1 compression (aiming for 200hp power to weight MUHFKA!!)
- refinishing wheels
- painting car to match wheels

i love this little hatch

i love this little hatch

As do I! Taking my time, but should be "done" by this summer.

Strip it out, no AC, no PS, no radio, CF goodies and some racing bucket seats?

The beta2 has a pretty restrictive head, so you might want to get it ported, but don't port it too much because the coolant passages are super close to the ports(or so I've heard).

Are you going to use the beta 1.8 pistons or shaving the head to achieve an 11:1 cr? If you are willing to spend 2 grand on getting it all built, I would suggest:

1.8 pistons(you could use 1.8 cams, but they aren't very aggressive for high RPM applications)
p&p head
reground cams(with stiffer valve springs)
balanced crankshaft
ferrea valve springs
headers(kspec has some decent ones)
p&p inake mani
BBTB
intake
2.25" straight pipe
SFR tune/raise redline to 8k($800 for the tune, it's fucking expensive)

Remember, this car has solid lifters and the valvetrain(along with the bottom end) are pretty beefy from the factory. This is a very overbuild engine stock, and they love boost. The only drawback is the restrictive head(as mentioned before).


I don't think i know anyone with an NA built elantra, good luck.
