My New Project
Here's my new project that I picked up yesterday. It's a 2.0L Elantra GLS Wagon with Eibach springs from Dresden, Germany. It's pretty sweet.
16' O.Z. Superturismos are going on it once I do the 1996-1999 front end conversion. I've already got all the parts, I just need to get some U.S.-spec fenders.
Still got the Tiburon. Still doing the widebody conversion ...and still got the Elantra Touring SE too. That thing is beast but I just love the 90's Hyundais so much.

Looking forward to seeing build pics of the project.

Thanks man. I can't wait either. I just need a place to store it over the winter. I'm thinking of a temporary canopy.
It feels great to be in an Elantra from the best of the 90's, from '96. What a great time and a great year. It's an excellent design with great proportions. These new cars just don't cut it for me. It's such a fun car. It's a driver's car. It will look great once I do the front-end first-gen conversion and throw these O.Z.'s on.
The Elantra Touring is still a beautiful car but in a different way. It loos cool and the alloys are marvelous. It's an Elantra Wagon with balls and a damn fun car to drive but the 90's have a special place in my heart.
The new 2017 Elantra Wagon just doesn't do it for me. It looks nothing short of idiotic. Stupid.

Wow I remember your Wagon! It looks like we have identical spoilers too. I need to replace the brake light. Do you know where I can buy a replacement for it?
Are you also running an Alpine Supercharger? How are you cooling it?

Sorry not sure where to get the brake light and m45 on a custom intake with no cooling running 9.5 psi. In hindsight I should have got a m62.
