Are you really about to spend another 8k on an elantra? Just curious

haha, not 8k..... my budget for the S/C, Clutch/flywheel, motor, body parts, and misc costs is $5k i think i can do that. i know i know everyone says take that money and get a different car, but i really love my elantra. its really practical for me.

Until you boost it. Taking a N/A car and slapping some forced induction on it is not practical for a daily driven car unless you take METICULOUS care of it... granted a belt driven s/c isn't nearly as maitenance needy as a turbo per say, you'll still need to take better care of it. Leave a few G's aside for repairs.
Example? MKIV Supras. Nobody buys the N/A - T conversions because they blow up on a much more frequent basis than the TT's that have the boost turned up or converted to singles.

Yep one week turn around cause they keep the turbo's in stock. They don't with the S/C. That question I definitely asked cause I know you and Dave were waiting a long time, but again you guys got the S/C.

The duel charged 2.0 belongs to dmdicks I believe. He has that set-up and works for Alpine.

i wont.... i'll go to the dyno, on a cool day i'll go to the track. other than that i drive my car at a decent top speed, but dont pull hard off the line like ever. i shift between 3500 and 4000 RPMs. if i was planning on driving like an idiot i would go with the intercooled turbo.

finally got around to putting this thing together. it went together rather quickly, had to hammer in the legs (they didnt wanna go in) its a little wobbly, but im on solid ground in the corner so im not worried about it. its made by Team Mechanix.

Blue.. with billet grill.. if that car was a real dark blue, plus extremely dark tints plus custom exhaust.. thats my friend matt.. he used to work wit me at CC.. we once had 3 tibs there all hooked up. it was fun..
damn raquel and dan that sucks glad to hear your ok and the tib is reparable. that is the same location that i was hit in by a female driver as well, i couldnt even open the door.
are yas getting the intercooled or non-intercooled?
oh and I need an opinion from u guys here i ordered the zefiro hood back in nov. from mike at importshark but he was waiting for his shipment to come in and when it did it got stuck in customs then when it finally got to his warehouse they had sent him the grade B hoods and he diddnt want to send me those so he offered me to get the hood at the GB price he is having and i get money back or he will ship me the PCS motorsports hood that he has instock. im thinking of getting the PCS since nobody has it, and now VIS has taken over the mold from PCS as well. they used the same manufacture so its the same hood, PCS sold the mold to VIS cuz no one was buying it at the $1200 price tag they had
here are pics of each and teh side vents on the zefiro will be cut out.

I like the Zefiro, except for the vents on the side. If I had to choose, I would take the Zefiro though.
