OK I have contacted all the dealers in my area, NO 5spds!!!!!!!!!!!

There is like 1 or 2 but 90+ miles away.

I dont want to get anyother lil car but the Accent, but I find it funny they have 1 billion trillion autos and dougnut manuals.

I dont want to see this when I pump gas one more...

Hey ya'll. I know I saw this in the forum somewhere but I can't find it for the life of me. Is there a way to get rid of the annoying dinging sound when the door is ajar with the keys in the ignition? It'd be okay if it went off after a few seconds, but it stays on forever. thankx a bunch.

Hey everyone how are ya? I'm the newest newbie I think. I bought an '08 Accent SE a couple months ago and I'm super happy with it! It's an amazing car and very under-rated I think.

Anyways, I have been wanting to change the interior lights (dome lights, dash lights etc.) to blue, or blue Leds. How would I go about this as I am a novice the scene. Can I even...

Hey all,

I'm heading to a drive-in in a couple of days, and I'm curious on how to park.

Before my Accent I had a Ford Ranger, and when I'd go to the theater I would throw a foam comforter in the bed of the truck, add some pillows and have a great time.

Now I'm curious if there is room enough (and if it would be fine to lay on the folded up seats)...

Well I cross referanced the plug and looks like it's the NGK Part#BKR6E-11 or amsoil Part#NGK2756 for our cars. Surprized me because I figured it would have been the as the pre MC engine, but I was wrong.

I just got some rims Tell me what you think B4 and After.

I have a GS Accent doesn't come with foglight i have found a set for sale including left and right and bumper grill for 170 dollars Should i get it??

just want to see what some of your accents look like. Cant find to many good pictures on the internet. Im thinking of doing black with the black housing on the headlights and smoking the tail lights. but want to see what all the different colors you guys have look like.

what is better for the price, the SE or the GS. is it really worth that much more money for the power options? I can either get a GS for 10,775 or a 2007 SE for 13,500. whats better?

Anyone know what Hatchback wing would fit our accent??

Are there any stylish shift stick for 08 Accent manual version and radio antenna that are exchangable?

Hi y'all!! I'm brand new to the site!

So, I've had my Accent for about a month, and going from a '97 Honda Accord w/custom color and flake paint, rims, tint, replacement decals w/my name, lowered, gold accents, and more to a straight stock has been kinda sad. The problem is is that I was 16 when I got my Honda, and now that I'm 18 my dad is no longer...

Hi All,

I've looked up the final drive ratio for the Accents, both manual and auto. The numbers I've seen listed are 4.06:1 for manual and 4.04:1 for autos.

For some reason I thought there would be a bigger diffence than that. That's nothing and both should be running about the same rpms for the same speed.

I've read posts that claim autos run less...

The new engine in our Accent is bright and shinny, how do I keep it from becoming corroded and discolored> default/unsure.gif' 'unsure.gif' />

anyone know what i need to hook this up...just to make a long story short, i took it off my brothers mazda hatch, what connectors do i need to add it to my stock radio???

Here is the one i have

Hi, well I bought my accent in 2006 and it came with rear drum brakes and I want to know if it is possible to switch to rear disc brakes. I know that newer accents have all disc brakes so maybe it wont be that hard, but what do I need? anyone got an idea?. I dont have abs. I asked the dealer like a year ago and they told me they wont do it. I have seen this conversion before in other cars that did...

OK with gas hitting over $138.00 what did you pay this weekend for gas?

ok so i was looking on ebay and i randomly can to a guy who sells 10 single beam hid kits for 250 bucks and 380 bucks shipping. he said i could order different colors or we could all come to an agreement on one color

I just bought an 08 accent 5 speed 2 days ago. I am surprised at the the high rpm"s displayed on the tach. I have never driven a small engine car of this type before and I am used to cruising on the highway at 60 and taching in the 2K range. This accent cruised in 5th gear at 3K. Does that sound right? Any comments about your experiences would be appreciated. thank you vince

So is it true that the automatic 2008 accents get higher mpg on the highway then manuals? not sure about city driving

I've never had a 12v outlet in a car before, just a cig. lighter. What kind of gadgets can you plug into it? How does it work? etc. I'm kinda new when it comes to automotive stuff.

I bought my car before they had a chance to install the extras they charge way to much for. I am wondering if the RPM is worth it? and how much it costs?

Hello, everyone. First post here. I've been kind of lurking for a while now, but now that I've got a question, I figured I'd introduce myself as well.

Brief background info: I live in Louisiana. I have an '07 Accent SE. I drive about 120 miles round-trip to work every day: 1/2 interstate travel (70 mph), 1/2 highway (60 mph). So far, with about 12,000 miles on my car,...

Heya!

I was supposed to get my B-G springs... but they finally called my friend at his shop and told him... their not yet in production! (why are they announcing them then!)

Anyways, anyone have a pic of their drop ? Either Eibach or H&R 1.3's ?

Thank you !

Took the 'lil Runabout out on it's first road trip this weekend to a family wedding up in Denver.
Had my wife and enough gear that I had to fold down the rear seats to cram everything in. Quite a bit of weight compared to the daily commute with just me in it.

Couple of things I noticed;

Highway travel at 65 mph was about 3200 rpm - but the car would fairly...

Was able to get the windows tinted today. Sure makes a big difference in the West Texas Sun and it looks pretty **** good if I do say so myself. I hope to take some pics next week after our yearly Sea World trip for my son's B-day.

I just bought an '08 Accent.

I have a mechanic that kept my 94 Acura Integra in tip top shape for 15 years and 289,000 miles(Just was becoming unreliable at this high mileage)

The Hyundai maintanence log says I NEED TO REPLACE SPARK PLUGS AT 15,000
This seems absurd to me and I am wondering do I have to have the dealer service my car or can my trusted mehanic change...

I got the popular equipment package, and really regret not getting cruise control. Does anyone know my options for adding it on? I'm pretty sure that this hasn't been addressed in the forums yet, so it should be a new discussion for everyone. I wish I could get cruise for 300-500 bucks, but that seems unlikely. Any thoughts?

What do you get when you mix a stock 5.7L 350 V8 LT1 with 335lb ft of torqe, with a Cadillac?


btw, I had to let off due to the end of the parking lot. it would go another 30 feet, its done 100 plus.
No power brake, just mash the gas.



If you listen close you hear a guy yell...its not a dragstrip.... lmao....

So I just came from my Stealership and I am not very happy.
After being told that all accents are wired for Keyless Entry/Power Locks
and that all that was needed were the actuators and programed key fob.
The shop tells me that you can not install Keyless Entry/Power Locks in a
Accent that does not already have them from the factory. Unless you replace
everything inside...

Ok I'm looking at getting a new set of DRAG DR-16 wheels. currently I have the red ones install but I'm think of getting a set of black ones, can someoen take a picture from my website and phtoshop the wheels to black, please. If you can use the closeup of the wheels so that I can see teh red brakes in the photo.

Any tips on doing this? I was going to put black aluminum mesh in the "hole." Wanting to know the "easiest" way to remove it and the best way to install the mesh also where to get black...I see regular aluminum all over the place. Any tips would be great.

Oh also, I started @ Lincoln Technical Institute today in the Collision Repair and Refinishing course. I plan on...

this car can save lot gas in city, but on high way, i was driving on 401 for 100km/h in 5th gear and the rpm was 3000.

I tend to mix it up. I like to push it hard a lot and also drive it like an economical car.

just kinda curious as to what other folks are doing when we are not currently doing a mod, or browsing the web for your next mod.. what do y'all do in your spare time? work? school? gardeing? kids?

im 32, im single, no kids and im kinda boring. I've been called predictable. i can see it...
i go to work down in the city at the Kroger building. Kroger is a supermarket chain...

well I used the mpg formula from Hyundai service and im qute pleased.

with last fill my cars achieving 43 mpg,98% highway driving at 90 and 100 kph, few big hills usually windy,10celcius
I wonder how much the new ac installed will make come summer..

another issues of my new 08 Accent sport is when i drive over 100km/h, the steering wheel shakes. Is that mean wheel balance need to be done?
I just got this car not even a day, and i discovered so many issues already, it is scary.

What's with the horn sounding only after the second push of the lock button instead of sounding on the first push??? This is not what my other car does, I have a mercury Marquie and when I push the lock button on the remote the doors lock and the horn sounds a quickly. The Accent however when the remote lock button is pushed locks all 3 doors but no horn sound! The horn only sounds if...

I've seen several comments about how much people paid for their Accents. I figured that it would be an interesting bit a trivia if we mentioned how much we paid for our cars. I'll start...

My '07 SE was $13,585 after $500 rebate & with license, registration & title fees included (no sales tax in OR).

WOW, I did not think it would be so hard to give my money to Hyundai.

I have been trying to locate the car I want and have had trouble doing so.

The car I want is a 2008 Accent GS, hatch manual trans. with the premium package, color is open to a few!!! and no one has this car in SO CALIF???

Hard to believe.

Is it really this rare to find this...

do they offer a towing packege? I want to pull small aluminum atv trailer and yamaha raptor 250 and pull it with my car.
sorry the links are dead but it adds up to about 700lbs

The Amsoil site list 0 W20 oil as acceptable for the 2008 Hyundai Accent. Has anyone used it? Is it acceptable?

Thanks,
Rob
