Elantra Touring (i30)
Does anyone else have a Touring (i30), and where have you been able to find parts if you've bought any? I can google too, but I'm wondering if anyone has bought parts, and what they have done.

If I recall the ET run a Beta2 with cvvt, so basically any of the engine mods that you see a Soul or GK2 Tib sporting should be game. Most of us here are from the pre-cvvt stone-age, but some of said mods might work too, never know. What did you have in mind?
I looked at one of these last year and they seem pretty solid, though if I had my druthers there would be a decent turbo behind the scenes and the 6-speed they offer in Europe.

Small to start really. K&N Apollo CAI. Front Tower Bar. Looking at rear ladder brace and front chasis brace. I'm looking for better rotors and calipers, but I don't want to go bigger or heavier than what will fit in the stock wheels. I'm a little away from replacing them. I'm not trying to lower the car really, and am holding off on any springs, but I am looking for a better rear shock. I want the suspension a little stiffer to prevent rear sway. Hopefully this summer I'd like to replace the exhaust manifold back and put on a better air intake manifold as well.
Just wondering what other people are doing as well. I know there is KAI, Shark, kspec and whatnot, just curious where other people have been shopping, maybe find some other deals.
