ElantraXD - Car of the Month

Ilanpro

2004 Hyundai Elantra GT Sedan

How long have you owned your Elantra?

Since December 19, 2003.

Is there anything special, unique, or different concerning the history of your Elantra?

Well my first Elantra was probably the ugliest color from Hyundai so totaling it was a blessing. That's how I got the Tidal Wave GT, so I was pretty lucky. The most unique part of my car is the exhaust and the Wheels, they don't follow any trends.

Honestly, what was your intention when you bought your Elantra?

I needed A family car, and was all I could afford.



What was your intention after discovering EXD (or other Hyundai forums)?

To mod my XD and help others with ideas for their cars.

In one word describe the style of your Elantra.

Sexy.

Who helped modify your Elantra?

The only one who has ever put hands in my car is Only1db when he did my slave cylinder mod, other than that me and a muffler shop.



What do you like most about your Elantra?

The color and the look.

What do you like least about your Elantra?

The lack of power and lack of heated seats. Other than that I'm pretty happy with it.

What modification is next for your Elantra?

I want to do a body kit, hopefully Concepto is finally in the U.S., if not the R34 will do.



On a scale from 0-10, how would you rate your Elantra?

8.

Most commonly, what do people say about your Elantra?

"Is that an Audi? A Hyundai!! It's beautiful, is it fast?"

Who is allowed to drive your Elantra?

The only person who has driven my car besides me is Only1db. Anyone from the site (EXD) would be allowed to drive it, as long as they can drive stick, now my wife has been banned from driving it, I like the wheels in one piece, most have seen what she did to my old ones.

What is the most outrageous thing you have wanted to do to your car that you have not been able to do?

Turbo with internals, 350HP, lack of money.
