if you have them saved on your computer you can use the attach file feature in the 'additional options' part of the reply section

if you have them hosted on internet it's just a matter of putting the web address for photo in IMG tags [ IMG ] [ /IMG ] (without the spaces)

unable to find 'additional options' part in reply section. there is a manage attatchments but it tells methe 5 pisc in folder is too much?? how many pics are allowed?

go to www.nitrousworld.com you can upload your pics there and then copy and paste them into the forum.

Car looks great man! Im not big on the floormats but I like everything else on the car. Good Job.

good idea.

new stuff added. check it out. :)
first post.

I have seen Dave's ride up close.
It is one very nice ride, he has put a sh*t load of work in to it.
And for all you auto haters, this sweet ride is auto. Just goes to show even a auto can look good. And if you not careful this ride will pass you by at the rate he is going.

Dave- waiting for the zex, let me know when its done.

Jeff

need a few things. then its time to SPRAY!!!!!!! evan, get that video cam out. :)

I really dig the new wheels 2loud. :)

Yea those wheels are sweet :bowdown: . I'm Jealous.

thanks alot. i paid for these a year ago and had to wait for konig to finally make them. they put these wheels on the internet to see if they would be a top seller....
i even get alot of compliments from the guys with 24" dubs on their escalades :) at the car shows.

ok, check out the new mod added in my first post. ZEX NITROUS KIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

time to start spraying

dude. looking @ your CD page, why did you get rid of those old wheels? those are/were HOT!

those were 17" adr battle exe wrapped in kumho 712's. i told ya, its all show from now on, i needed to go with 18's for the "bling" factor. and with the zex kit i have show and go!! :)

ok, some new goodies to add to the list. c/d dual gauge pillar (autometer procomp ultralight a/f and nitrous pressure), mobile1 synthetic oil, hayden trans cooler, 03 tib gt B&G coilovers.

ahh very nice drop man...well done

nice. now get a real intake and youll be set. 40$ on ebay

hey, at least mine hasent busted the f' up at the track like yours did. lol

hey, that was an old piece of 2.5" intercooler pipe w/ a 20$ filter on it. i have a REAL intake now, no problems @ all

ok guys, a few more things added to the mod list.
carbon mans dual gauge A-pillar with autometer procomp ultralite a/f and nitrous pressure gauges. i also finally done the throttle body coolant bypass, the trans cooler will go in tomorrow at work.

getting ready to go to the track on sept 24th. they are having a domestic vs. import night. im going to try to run against my friends '90 5.0 mustang (gear, mt, exhause,k&n). he's only beaten me by a car 1/2 on the street (i mean track). time to throw in the 70hp jets this time. give him a run for his money. ive gotta take out all the audio in the trunk as well as im removing the seats (rear) ive got my g/f riding out with me. i cant have her sitting on the floor. lmao

be sure and post how you do man i'd like to know! can you post pics of the pillars installed

i will make a diy about it i guess. there is nothing detailed about it (on any of the 5 hyundai forums i belong to). so as soon as i get the wire color ill do a nice diy about it.
everything is pre-wired, so as soon as the nitrous gauge is in my hands and in the pillar (waiting for fed-ex), ill take a few more pics of all the new mods and post. my "attatchments" of photo storage on this forum is getting almost filled up. need to find another way to do my pics.

i meant i wanted to see a pic man:D of it on your car lol

ill have the pics up sunday(next week). its "unfinished" as of right now. not worthy of a pic. lol

ok guys, here is whats next in store for the xd.

ordered--evo5 rear bumper, evo5 exhaust, evo5 side skirts (evo3 front bumper and fogs--for sale. see thread-http://www.elantraxd.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14617)

new parts installed--optima red top under hood (24 series) quad post, new optima yellow top (class 31d) in trunk, new 200 amp stinger relay/isolator. bleu interior neons under pass and driver foot wells.
