So since I bought Eleanor I'm gearing up for a busy summer. The goal: To convert my standard sport Accent into the SR version my friend Mike use to own that is exclusive to Canada. Now I may have to change a few things for either preference or availability of parts. This is what his looked like;
I fell in love with his car and since he recently got rid of it I decided now is the time to resurrect a beauty! lol Step 1.... buy the car....
In a few weeks I'll be installing a brand new cat back exhaust that will mimic this:
SR Exhaust
But me deeper like my Elantra:
Exhaust 1
and look more like this:
Dual Set Up
I should be able to get my Tint done this weekend (same as my Lantra as well, 35% front, 15% rear), and the weekend I do the exhaust (two weeks later) I'll be also tackling the HID's and most likely something else, and then every month after that (including ground effects kit) from eBay.
Some parts will be frackin' hard to find and that's where you fine people come in. Any help you can offer me via links, friends or attic I would appreciate. It'll be a long road but I can't wait. I plan on buying another Accent (or better, any advise? lol) engine for when this one inevitably dies on me. Here's my list in a sort of order of operations....
Tint
HID's
Exhaust
Headers/High Flow Cats
Lowering Springs
Rims (maybe, I actually love the stock ones, plus they're nitrogen! hehe)
Ground Effects Kit (Must find FLAAAAREEESSSS! )
Complete Audio Overhaul
Complete LED conversion
I also finally got my Bluetooth OBDII adapter from Korea (It's designed for Hyundai's Specifically) and for now I'm monitoring my Accent via my S4 like bellow;
It's very accurate and looks d4mn cool. I found a great little wallpaper that lloks like our faux leather dashes. hehe Anyhoo I'll be grabbing a Samsung 7" and retrofitting it for permanent placement in the car.
What do you guys think? Any ideas? I'm open to trying anything and money isn't too much of an issue, since I've done a lot to Black Mamba it's time to put my cash to Eleanor for a few months, but I need to finish all these mods by the Winter cause I'll be parking her at my cottage until the next summer. Any ideas are welcome, might as well, I don't want to ever run our of things to do to her <------ Yes that sounded wrong....yet so right.....
I'll be updating this often. Thanks for reading all!
