looks like it's the perfect month for me to enter my little car..
it's anything goes AND is my birthday month cool.gif








Like most of you know i've been in the hyundai scene for a while and been doing mostly custom work each time we needed special parts made.
Well, most of the time it's on this car i test all the goodies.
Some would call me crazy for building up an accent like this,but hey, it's the perfect sleeper cool.gif

Here's the specs:

<span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%">Exterior,Body</span>

Actual body is a 1999 accent
Konig helium 15" wheels for street use with
Flaken azenis 205/50/15 tires for the street on the picture, now i'm using maxxis
Konig helium 15" for drag use with
Mickey Thompson 205/50/15 ET street radials ( i do drive to the track with those on)
high/low HID lights (glare shields are in the work)
rear window roof spoiler
koreen clear corners
color matched mirrors and moldings
modified front bumper and re-inforcement for the intercooler
thinned lower radiator support ( i removed about 1 inch of it then made a new thicker plate and rewelded it (little car,big space problem)

for 2009 if everything goes like planned i'll be adding a few parts i have in my closet
- Sick division Razor front lower lip
- Sick division Razor front end "nostril"
- OEM Accent GSI side skirt
- OEM Accent modified rear bumper (basicly stock shape but lowered)
- Custom OEM headlamps converted to projectors

the only things i might change this year to the interior would be adding the matching tiburon rear seat

i might be forgetting some stuff, but i think that you're getting a good picture of the car
so far the best time it ran is 12.83@120.83 at 16 psi no nitrous on Azenis tires (not a good tire choice here) i had lots of tire spin
i've been busy like hell and worked a lot on our new Top Alcohol Dragster so i didn't have much time left to play with the little accent
