yeah, grille is one of the next things on my list...im moving out in like 3 weeks so until i get a 2nd job, mod money will be almost non existant. ill probably have one of th guys on my board mesh out a grille and then ill sand down that chrome and paint it gloss black. tint should also be done this summer. im thinking of around 25% (ill take the risk)

thanks. theres a page w/ a complete list of mods and pics here http://www.elantraxd.com/forums/showthread.php?p=119232#post119232 and i left the pics w/ my old wheels on there because i love the pics

no offense taken man. a lot of people have said worse things. its not that my car is a 'quick platform' per se, but the quality has been getting much better since the old days of the excel. i read somewhere a few weeks ago that the quality of their cars is starting to compete with toyota and honda. my car is about a 16.5 second car stock, and to this point ive gotten down to a 15.29. the v6 tib is a better platform w/ the 2.7l engine and with about 3-4 s/c kits available, its not hard to hit 280whp on stock internals, stock compression. the motor thats in my car is the same motor as the 4cyl 03 tiburons so it gives us an option for parts. there is a good amount of people into this car...check out http://www.elantraxd.com or http://www.elantraclub.com to check it out if you want im hoping with these wheels (3lbs lighter than my lancer OZ wheels) and a ported intake manifold and phenolic spacer i may be able to break into the 14s at trails on the 9th. hopefully these fatter tires with some lower pressure will let me get a 2.1 60' and it should get me into the 14s. if i do, ill be the first person to do it (in america) n/a wheels are Nippon type-c. 15x6.5 w/ a 38mm offset thanks for gettin the tires mounted up for me thanks man. if you do decide to get them powdercoated, check out the consumer reports section for performance powdercoating. tell jason that evan with the black wheels sent you. the powder will fill in a lot of minor imperfections but for severe curb rash, itll be better to get them repaired before taking them to him. he really takes pride in his work and will not let stuff go until he is happy with it

heres the pics on the car. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/PICT6426.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/PICT6429.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/PICT6427.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/PICT6431.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/PICT6432.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/PICT6433.jpg

2003 hyundai elantra i should have some full car pics tonight.

they were supposed to come out a deep glossy black, it came out more of a very dark gunmetal. i thought it looked great (about anything would be better than before)...ended up being 320 to the powdercoater (200 for powdercoating, 40 to finish sandblasting the wheels the other guy missed and 70 to fix the other wheel up some from the curb rash...the wheel that had the rash you can still tell a tiny bit, but the powder filled it in a lot and now that the tires are on, you can hardly see it ive got about 600$ wrapped up in these wheels between refinishing, tires unmounted/mounted, etc. to me, its worth it. they are 15x6.5" and only weigh 12lbs. the other thing i like about them is they fit nicely infront of my BBK (11" w/ a bigger single piston caliper over stock 10.1" and smaller caliper) http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/PICT6415.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/PICT6416.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/PICT6417.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/PICT6418.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/PICT6423.jpg

I was looking at it to buy some stuff, but if selling is easy like that, i got some stuff i wouldnt mind sticking on there

try calling your local police department. they'll tell you the legal colors. IIRC any color similar to a police car/emergency vehicle is illegal (blue/red/strobing)

this place is JUST south of 70 on james road...turn right (if youre going south) into the industrial park and then a right as soon as you turn it. its one of the last units in the complex guys name is jason, and he was GREAT to work with. i took him a set of wheels looking to get them powdercoated black. he quoted me a very good price (50$/each for 15x6.5" wheels) to get them done. when i got the wheels to him, it turned out the previous sandblasting didnt get them stripped completely. he had his guy get them stripped down to get them coated for 40$. also one wheel had some bad curb rash which he was able to grind down some and make it look a lot better. once the tires were on you couldnt tell unless youre within 1' of the wheel. i got a call saying the finish didnt come out in the gloss black i was looking for. he said it was the powder and was going to shoot them again. talked to him later, same thing...he tested on other metal and figured it was a bad powder batch. he was on the phone with the company to get it sorted out. i went down to look at the wheels which came out in a VERY dark gunmetal...not quite black. i decided to roll with it how they were. he almost begged me to let him keep them and get them to the black i wanted but i let him know i was satisfied. it was also a very quick turn around time. he had all the wheels by thursday and i picked them up the following wednesday i know this was a long post but i just want people to know how great he is to deal with Jason Bates Perfomace Powdercoating 2153 S. James Rd. Columbus OH 43232 614.207.4705

contact derek at NTB on 256... 863.6926 he's the man

cool...any other kitchen stuff you have i may be interested in (food processor, blender, stuff like that)...movin out soon and im tryin to find some stuff i dont have

anyone here use it? im just realizing this site and how nice it is to find stuff locally. couple questions about it...do i need to sign up to email people asking about products? do i need to sign up to sell things? and is it ok to make offers on things people are selling (dont know if its good manners to do so).?

you have any kitchen stuff? plates/bowls/small plates mainly? or any big plastic drinking cups (i have this wierd thing i hate drinking out of glass cups)??

talk to anthony?

stock wheels of a lancer OZ rally. 4x114.3 (4x4.5")...amazing condition. 2-3 tiny knicks on each wheel. not noticeable at all. each wheel is about 14lbs, 15". i have 205/55/15 fuzion zri's on them now, but they will need replaced within a couple months 300$ firm. pick up in gahanna or i can meet you somewhere in columbus http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/PICT6406.jpg http://www.elantraxd.com/cotm/dec055.jpg

i didnt mean it like 'hey i want to see some guys dick'...it looked like they were having a bachelor party or something for the guy. i said "the way it was going, i was hoping..." meaning it would have been funny as shit to have him having that much fun and just kill it instantaneously...with most of the f'ed up videos you see online these days, i woulda thought this was one of them. play a trick on the guy at his bachelor party...

hahaha...the way it was going i was hoping it was something like them playing a trick on him and she end up having a wang that was just as funny though. not for her, but for me. lol

holy shit...and to think i was just out sunday night and the car was still in one piece. hope you're feelin better

they are spray painted in the picture...right now theyre getting sandblasted and powdercoated gloss black. i prefer not to have to paint the axle and get some caps instead...trying to make it look nice.

"Today 04:07 AM" i think i found the real solution

ill check with them. i thought i could probably do that if i can match up the size of the hole...i just need them to come out about 1" or so caus that axle comes out to much

looking to see if anyone knows where i can get some centercaps for a set of aftermarket wheels. theyre nippon type-c (from what the guy who sold em to me said) 15x6.5". ive tried doing a search for the nippon website and found an email address and sent them an email a couple weeks ago with no response. heres what the wheel looks like...i need to get something to cover up the axles http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/evan938/PICT6325.jpg

i dont tan, but it dosent take much for me to get pretty dark in the summer.

and i went and checked the knocked up wheel today...lip looks much better than before...he did a good job on it

this guy im getting the powdercoating done w/ does some good work...614.207.4705 ask for jason...the wheels need to be stripped so get them completely sandblasted ahead of time or see if he can get them blasted for you...hes doing my 15x6.5s for 50$/each...he said it will probably run 50-75/wheel.
