That Airram looks great but you're going to need solid mounts to keep it off the firewall

It definitely is a tight fit between the firewall and Air Ram! This is the reason why I filled the front and rear mounts with 80a liquid polyurethane.

Wasn't a fan of the beta I oil pan so I went ahead and swapped it out for a beta II oil pan. Unfortunately it wasn't a straight swap so I had to do some modding to get everything to line up. During this time I finished up the oil return line.

All of the holes lined up except for the two closest to the flywheel. The black circles are where I ended up drilling new holes











Apparently an oil pan gasket doesn't exist for the beta II so I made a beta I fit

Why didn't you just get a Beta II end cap instead of drilling the pan?

SpoolinShark

What do you mean by Beta II end cap?

JonGTR

The rear main seal cap. The difference in the caps is the reason why you had to redrill holes into the pan. The caps are like $10 used. You're going to have less seal on that end of the pan and trust me, the seal on these pans are bad enough as they are on boost.

Ah, well then. Thanks for the heads up and I'll make sure to swap that part on my built beta I block.

The shifter base setup that was in the Accent wouldn't work properly with the beta trans. Granted it would go into gears, but the side to side selector arm was on the right side whereas the XD/GK shifter has the arm on the left side. This basically meant that the gears were flipped.

Made a bracket to bolt to the bottom of the new shifter base while drilling some holes in it. Ended up having to widen the holes at the end of the base in order to let the shifter cables fit

















Once the cables were in place, ran bolts down through the bottom of the base to prevent the cables from moving. Since the shifter bases are different, I was only able to use two bolts to hold the XD/GK base down.



Not the prettiest setup, but it works.











The shifter cable that goes into the gray clip needed to be shortened in order to allow proper side to side gear selection











Bought some Torque Solutions solid shifter bushings to eliminate any shifter slop

Decided a long time ago that I wasn't going to stick with the stock ride height and wasn't a huge fan of lowering springs... So I bought a set of D2 coilovers for the Egg.







D2 coilovers for the front. Unfortunately they didn't come with camber plates so I'll need to see if any are available.

I also went ahead and did the XG350 BBK, but that took some modding for it to work. I had a friend of mine fab up some hub rings as the hub bore on the Kia Spectra5 rotor was larger than the Accent's. As for the rotors themselves, I had to have the Spectra5 rotors redrilled for a 4x100 pattern. Mini Cooper rotors **will** fit, but I didn't like how the pads sat on them.



Quick Specs on the hub rings:

1. Inner Diameter - 62mm
   
2. Outer Diameter - 69mm
   
3. Width - 2mm

Nice work so far!! The Beta2 pan wasn't designed for a gasket, only for silicone. That's why it has those deep groves in the mating surface. I recommend Honda bond for a leak proof seal. Hopefully the gasket doesn't tear or rip being squished into those grooves..
