if your accent is a 1.6L don't get the 2001 tib engine. get the 2003-2004 tib engine or the 2001-2003 elantra engine

my accent is a 1.5 sohc, so would i have to swap out all my comp stuff as well?

You may want to attach a mustang TB, I'm sure spikie can make one for you. A 1.8 cam (hint: I have one) will increase midrange power because it's duration is longer. Headders are a must. Stock ones SUCK.

cool, he will have to contact me on that it easier to catch me on yahoo, my name is sharp_shot303ME on there, another thing im trying to figure out is i have a set of 17" rims but they rub in the rear like mad, what would i do to stop this, could it be possibly time to change my struts, or would the 2inch drop springs have somthing to do with it, i dont know but could use the help, they do not rub in the front at all.

2 inch drop with 17's are gunna rub like mad, you will have to do some trimming. Also if you are gunna do the swap I am going to be revising my beta swap walkthrough and adding eletical to the swap. It will tell you how to wire your 1.5 accent using a 2002 Elantra GT harness and ecm. Look for that walkthrough to be up in the next month.
