Please don't flame this poor honda enthusiast, but I have a question that some of you just might dig....

The 3 door, Accent hatchback - how versitile is it? Why? Cause I love the way that car looks! (I drive a civic hatch - go figure) Everytime I see one I just wanna turn it into a bad-ass autocross car.

So...does it take well to engine transplants? (ie: put in a tiburon motor - er something) Is there a substantial (at least substantial enough to be worth it) aftermarket for it? Can I get suspension parts, intake, header, exhaust? Turbos? all the fun stuff.

I just really like the profile of those cars, the kind of functional smooth boxy look.

ideas? examples? feedback?
thanks

yah, but why would you want to though? it already has the Tiburon's i-4 in it. Hay it is even more powerfull than the tib i-4 because it is lighter. I think we roughly calculated my fathers 00 accent manual at a 0-70 mph time of seven seconds. Just add a quick strap-on turbo or can of nitrous if you want a little bit more power. and about the exaust exc yah they have that and I will recomend getting it. www.hyundaiperformance.com, or any import mag.
