Vehicle: 2001 Hyundai Accent GSi
Guess I can chime in since I drive an 02 Accent GSi. She is a work in progress (aren't they all), installing a home brew intercooled turbo set up, but ran into issues with the first turbo and split the shaft in 2 earlier in the summer. Hopefully it will be up and running boosted soon with a new turbo. 1.5" Vogtland drop with KYB GR2s, Evofusion sri for now, ebay short shifter, full 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust and 16" wheels with wrapped in 205/45 Toyos. Here it is...
For shits and giggles as well as some base times I even ran it down the 1/4 mile a few times!
Broken turbo makes me sad...
Thats all for now, hopefully in the not too distant future I will be able to post some pics and vids of it running down the track again.

195000 miles - It's not pretty anymore... but still runs like a top.
Just replaced the original thermostat because the car seems to be running hotter than usual... Had to remove the gasket with a razor blade.
Checked the old one on the stove... nothing wrong with it. Looks like I will be replacing the radiator soon.

Vehicle: 2003 elantra, Soon to be beta swapped 01 lc hatch
I have an accent now. bought it with a blown up motor so It's getting beta swapped. I has some dings and whatnot but when I get it running I'll worry about making it look better. I plan on blacking the whole car out. gonna paint it primer black with a satin clear coat on it. I'll get some pics up when I get a chance.

These are photographs of my current project vehicle. It is a 2001 Hyundai Brio (That is the name of the Accent in Puerto Rico).
The modifications include: Shark Racing GT Bumper, raised 2" from street level
Upper & Lower Metal Grilles w/ Driving Lights
VentShade wind deflectors, color-matched to vehicle
EGR, Inc. Rear Bumper Lip
ATH Hatch Spoiler
Owner-designed, Hand-made Rear Wing w/ Support
This is how it looks:
Many more modifications to come...
