Ok. Well a while bacK i bought a BBTB/ ported IM off RAVINAZINKID. I sent him my stock IM and TB and he sent me his stuff. Problem I had was getting the damn IM off the car. I have a 2004 Accent and for those of you with same years maybe even others would know that there is a brackt the is bolted to the engine black as well as to the IM. I COULD NOT get the bolts off that were connected to the engine block.....so i partaly cut the bracket. Big mistake? Maybe...not sure. Anyway, I was driving no more than 20 mins. ago when the bracket FELL OFF! Now my concern... is it a big deal? SHould I get it fixed?

Hmmm... so i was driving around and noticed that i smeed to pick up more speed. Now I havn;'t changed anything on the car or with my SAFC in over 2 weeks , could it be the missing bracket is allowing more pull? Prolly just wishfull thinking but hey it still feels nice.

a few elantra owners run around without them.

How in the world would that make you faster?

OH MY GOD! you lost THAT Bracket!

Dude, take it to the repair shop ASAP! If You don't, your car will jump to warp 9, and as we all know, the structual integrity of the 2004 Hyundai Accent has a major flaw that limits it to Warp 7 speed travel!

In the event that you did engage warp 9, Your car would become a hyperspeed Dark Matter Bomb that could potentially destroy worlds as it skipped off of stars, supernova's & blackholes.

On the flip side, your car itself may induce the second big bang Causing global warming in the southern portions of mississippi and alabama.

Please see a certified hyundai technician RIGHT AWAY! If the borg catch on to this... we're screwed man.. we're screwed...
