x3 small upgrades - Hyundai Performance Forums

Wirmpolter · 07-03-2003, 06:39 PM

hey all i own a 96 accent gt
and i was wondering what small upgrades are the best to get and where can i get them for a good price
im looking for things like ignition control, spark plugs, wires, intake, and anything else you guys know that would improve performance that wouldnt end up being that expensive would really help, for info i live in mississauga ontario and i have about $1000 cnd or so to spend

Well heres the deal. Accents are not and will not be fast fast. SO with 1000 Id go with Suspension upgrades. Springs/Struts/Swaybars(if they make them)/Strut bars. Will your car be faster? No, but it will handle like a 40,000 car instead of a 4,000 car.

catback exhaust-270 bucks
ur pulley- 200 bucks
struts- 200 bucks =930 bucks
lowering springs- 200 bucks 8D

Why would he get a pulley? HOnestly I think that is a waste of money for an Accent. The OEM pulley is just fine. Hell for a thousand you can almost get a new paint job! Its really just what you want to do and what you want out of that thousand.

just go with rpw headers , big bore throttle body , diy cai nad if you can find one cheap enough exhaust

thats would be really nice

actually im thinking of this now:
i got my kyb gr2 struts and shocks, both rear and fronts
im going to be ordering the coilovers off of madhatter to go with these
i already got new rear tires, and im going to get new front low profile tires next week
then i think im going to get it painted a dark blue, this paint job company in mississauga is having a special right now, instead of paying 600 dollars or so, its 300 at the most, because they're doing a promotion
ill prolly do that and then get clear lights all around,
plus get my intake and maybe exhaust if i can

I'd get get pulley set,header,high flo cat,or do like i did for a bad ass sound chope the muffler off it sounds like it has turbo also sounds a tiny bit like a MG

rubenz · 07-08-2003, 10:11 PM

and how does chopping the muffler off make it sound like it has a turbo? does it make blow off sounds?

95accent · 07-09-2003, 07:29 AM

when you push the gas about half way it has a hissing sound.but from outside the car it sounds different similar to a MG only differ
