Me and some friends have been toying with this idea for a while. Not to my Accent, but to a project car. Fuel cell under the hood and something fun in the back. A boosted 2.7l sounds good, but really just about anything with 200+hp would be a whole lot of fun.

Yeah, thought of that too. Combined with the 6 speed in the Kia Forte you could make it front wheel drive even. Assuming that they can be bolted together, but I'm pretty sure it could be made to work pretty easily.
A front engine rear drive Accent would be fun too, I think it would take a whole lot of chopping floor pan to get it done but it's far from impossible.

pffff looks do matter smack.gif it's all about showing off your capabilities and winning over people's hearts! it looks like it's made of riveted flashing, and you can cut your arm on the edges of the impact absorption on the trunk. eek.
