Hyundai Accent Forum The Hyundai Accent Forum. Hyundai's little champ. While the Hyundai Accent and Hyundai Excel may be small, they respond very well to aftermarket modifications and is among the favorites for Hyundai tuners.

guy here in australia has just finished a rear wheel drive conversion to an x3
its an ex-police seized car with the VIN cutout so its unregisterable anyway (so its now a track car)

its got a 3.8 buick/holden v6 with a GT35R turbo
running a cut down salisbury rear end which, surprisingly, the rear diff trailing arms bolts right up and are the correct spacing for the body (the upper trailing arm mounts had to me made)
also running the donor car front end suspension (similar macpherson strut setup, modified LCA pickups i believe) and donor car brakes
running the holden 5 speed manual, full custom floorpan bellhousing and quite a bit of firewall 'massaging'
running a microtech for fuel and standard ecu for the spark
oh and full cage

enjoy....

There were a couple of members if I recall from the old FxTreme days that had done this. It was right after the Dragon Fabrications twin engine tib had hit the scene.
