I started out with a 2002 Elantra that I had for 5 years and put 140k on that I sold to a local kid. Then I built a sr20det 240sx hatch and sold that to fund my 240sx coupe project. Here's pictures because no one ever really reads these things anyway.



The Elantra that I used to have:





Owned that for awhile while I did my sr swap:













I picked up an MR2 at one point while I still had the elantra to beat around in because I've always wanted an MR2, it has the 5sfe:







Then I sold the Elantra because having 3 cars wasn't practical, but I came across a 240sx coupe so I snatched it up since it has 82,174 ORGINAL miles on it. It WAS all stock automatic:









Now it has quite a bit done and growing every day... 5 speed swap in progress as well as 5 lugs already put on.



Then a buddy of mine offered to buy my sr20det hatch so I said fine since I wanted a newer car anyway to just drive around in so I snatched up a 1999 Hyundai Tiburon 5 speed for a nice daily and I love it:











Well I think that's it.

 

Welcome back. So, since you're joining the forums once again, is it safe to assume you aren't planning to keep it stock? Looking at your history, I don't see it in you.

 

I would like to say that I plan to keep it stock but I hate the stock ride height and want it lower. I can't do that though unless I can find a truck to pick up as I do use the car as my daily and we do get snow, and if we get too much I don't want to be stuck in my driveway because I'm plowing with my front bumper. I also would love to be able to find Alpine's mp45 supercharger setup to make it a little more fun and use a set of Colt Cams. However, I have alot on my hands with my coupe. I have to finish my 5 lug swap, 5 speed swap, install my AEM EMS and tune it, exhaust, the rest of my control arms and a whole host of other things to get ready to turbocharge the stock motor. So, the Tiburon will get left along as a reliable daily while I go hog wild with my coupe.

 

Oh no.. not this guy. Heh, welcome back to this site.

 

Doug! how have you been? what have you done to the elantra so far? I remember last I talked to you, you saying that you wanted to start spraying on it since you got a new daily.

 

Feel free to throw some of your projects in our Garage system. It's under "Hyundai Race Track" at the top left.

 

Hey Jimmy good to see you around these parts!

 

Welcome back Jim.

 

its still outside and I got the kit.. just never finished the install. Last year was busy, to say the least. We deployed a big group to iraq so that sucked alot out of me. Then I senp a little over two months without a day off getting them home. Im sort of debating on if it is what I want to modify. As i sits it would make a great daily for someone. Id love to get an ollldd elantra and swap it. but meh. well see.
