Long time lurker...

Post by Winter »

Hey everybody! Well, I've been lurking on this board since before I bought my Vibe back in November of last year, but since I've mainly been working on building up my Hyundai Elantra, I just posted on elantraxd.com.Then I traded in my Elantra last Saturday for a brand new Aztek, so now this site and a few Aztek forums will be my new home. Hope you guys have room for one more in the family.

Welcome to the board. Since you got rid of the Elantra, do you plan on building up your Vibe? There are plenty of helpful threads on mods, some with how-to's.

I may do a CAI but other than that I won't be doing much. I'm definitely not going to do everything that I did to my Elantra like lower it, rims, tint, I/H/E, ICE, painted interior, etc. I sunk way too much money into that car to take a $4000 loss on trade-in. I'm happy with my Aztek though so it's all good.

Building up an Elantra? Like restoring one?

Quote, originally posted by futseal04 »Building up an Elantra? Like restoring one?No, I heavily modified my 2002 Elantra...see my last post for a few details. It was brand new when I bought it. A friend's GTech (I'm too cheap for an official dyno run) showed it at 143whp, 156 ft lbs after all my mods. A lot of people were going turbo and using n2o, but it still didn't have enough power N/A for me though, so I originally went to the dealership Saturday to trade in the Elantra for a Vibe GT...when I saw that Aztek and all the added options, I basically said "Screw it, I already have one Vibe I don't need another one" so...there it is.
