2loud2k2xd 2002 Hyundai Elantra GT 5-door How long have you owned your Elantra? Well, I bought her in July of 2002. Three months after she was "born." Is there anything special, unique, or different concerning the history of your Elantra? Hmm, well I have the second loudest Elantra ever recorded on a term-lab mic system with a 143.9 and a 144.5 spl in both DB drag and USACI competitions. Honestly, what was your intention when you bought your Elantra? LOL, it was supposed to be my normal daily driver to get me everywhere. I had no plans of modding it in any way. Now look at it. What was your intention after discovering EXD (or other Hyundai forums)? To see what aftermarket parts were available and to help others as well as get some help when needed. In one word describe the style of your Elantra. Pimp-a-licious!!! I just said "pimp-a-licious," didn't I? Who helped modify your Elantra? Myself and my best-friend b-mob. What do you like most about your Elantra? I like everything about it. It's fun to drive, fun to throw into corners, and fun entering it in shows. What do you like least about your Elantra? It's too slow, even when I had the nitrous installed it was still too slow. What modification is next for your Elantra? Hmm, well I have a body kit on its way soon and I may redo the whole interior. On a scale from 0-10, how would you rate your Elantra? 8.5. Only an 8.5 because I don't yet have a bodykit, and it's slow. Most commonly, what do people say about your Elantra? "How do you like your saab?" And at sound competitions "Holy shit, he's got a soloX." Who is allowed to drive your Elantra? Only ME!!! There has been only two people who have driven my car. Except for the hyundai technicians, even when I get an oil change I drive it in and then out. No exceptions. What is the most outrageous thing you have wanted to do to your car that you have not been able to do? Well that's easy... a supercharger or turbocharger. Enough said. What kind of car did you own (or drive) before your Elantra? A 1994 Pontiac Sunbird 5 speed. Biggest POS. I had a home light switch for the fan on/off speed control. LMAO. Realistically, what kind of car is next? Well, I'm looking to trade it in for a SUV or 4x4 truck. I'm moving out west and my lowered, I mean slammed, XD won't make it very well in the mountains and all the snow.
