Official Notice

[BlueGT]

Most of you have probably already seen my For Sale post in the Marketplace forum. Yes, I am bringing my car back to stock and will be selling it. Unfortunately, I won't be able to finish my huge XD project. My little Elantra dream won't come true. I wanted to turn my car into smth really special. A really nice looking XD with power to back that up. Skyline R34 bodykit, custom paintjob, c/f hood, lightweight wheels with sticky tires, custom turbo setup with GT28RS pushing around 320 horsepower at the wheels, Quaife limited slip differential... The list goes on and on. That was gonna be one mean Elantra. :(

Another thing is that I will not be able to run ElantraXD.com anymore. Right now I am trying to choose who will be the future EXD administrator so don't worry, EXD.com will not disappear!

So now you are all wondering what in the hell BlueGT is gonna do. Well, a couple of days ago I had a meeting with my boss and it turns out that we are going to have a major construction project in Kazakhstan and I will need to go there pretty soon. The project is gonna take several years. Right now I do not know how long I will need to be there but I think it will be a while. There will be LOTS OF work to do and I will basically work 24 hours a day. Daytime with locals and nighttime with Americans since it will be daytime here. That means absolutely no free time. Besides, Internet access is not the best out there and I can defiinitely forget about broadband. I will try to stop by the board once in a while but there is no way I'll be able to run the whole website.

Now I am really busy spending most of my time at the meetings trying to figure out the details of the project, what is expected from me and what I should exprect from the company. And of course, trying to sell all the stuff that I won't be able to take with me. Including my car. :( :(

Soon I will be announcing the new admin of ElantraXD.com and I will definitely make a farewell post before leaving.

[Black04XD2]

:(
Damn, man. That wasn't what I had in mind when you said you were selling the car. I assumed you were maybe moving upto a better car. Not in my wildest dreams did I think you were leaving the country and the site for a long time :(
I think we should have a big NoVa meet before you go, as a 'going away' thing, since you won't be here for the August meet(I'm assuming).

[tniv1]

Wow dude. Well Talgat, it was great meeting you, talking with ya, and I'm sure everyone will join in saying a big "Thank You" for making this site a reality. I remember when it was just a "coming soon" long ago. All the best to you, and good luck. Take care, man.

[velantra]

Sorry to hear that you are leaving. Thanks for creating this site, because it has helped a lot of XD owners. Good luck on your project!

[O_GT]

Sorry to hear your leaving but I wish you the best of luck and don't forget us

[slvrsleeper]

Well I guess this isn't an April Fools day joke, dammit! First thank you so much for all your hard work in creating an atmosphere where like-minded enthusiasts can meet and congregate, you have done the world a great service. There is already a Nova meet sort of planned for the second Sunday in June at Burke Lake Park. Lets all us Nova people get together and make that plan a reality. I think Blue deserves a world class send-off from all of us. BTW, anyone who cares to join us, whereever you live please do! Damn dude you should have enough mad-money in the bank when you come home to build the worlds most bad-*** Elantra! Best of luck and be safe over there man.

[NorthernYankee]

Just wanted to say thanks Blue, you have created a great site...and a great atmosphere here. There have been ups and downs, but for the most part it has been ups and thats because of the dedication that you have put in. Thanks again

[Bnystrom]

Despite being relatively new here, I can appreciate what you've done. Thanks and best wishes in all your future endeavors.

[Jlivan]

:( Sorry to hear that you are leaving....good luck in your future project. I am relatively new but this site has been very helpful......hopefully we can keep this up & running for everyone.

[matrixdrrrrr]

Well Blue, looks like you and I have left our Elantras to move on. The new wheels are in; 1970 MG Midget, just as promised. She'll need work, but I did it, I bought a car. But don't worry, my parents still own the 2 elantras, and I'll be driving them still. But no money will be going in them from me unfortunetly. I know you all wanna see this so:

[elantragt4dr]

The elantra xd legacy is comming to an end :pain10:

[hyunelan2]

Well Blue, best of luck to ya. Good luck overseas, be careful and come home soon. We'll be here when you get back.

[Birdman]

All I am going to say is thank you for the inspiration to take care of my car and treat it with respect and of course MODS :-) Good luck on your new venture and hopefully when you get back elantras will be known everywhere as a car that eats honda's for fun :-P

[Jtown]

Good luck and Thank You!

[Steve]

Kazakhstan! Crazy. Thanks for all the work and time and effort you've put into making ElantraXD.com. Once you're over there, definitely stop by whenever you can and let us all know how you're doing and what's new.

[slow 2K2GT]

You My Boy Blue! Yeah ive said it before but it sound cool. So look man, thanks for all your efforts on this site, I and many others are forever thankful for all your work. It isnt often that a group of people can come together and talk about what they enjoy and how to make it better still, let alone come together on a daily basis. Though there are some differences here amongst us we are, like I said, all here for the same reason. I wish you the best of luck with all your travels and whatever routes you may follow. Take care of yourself and remember you always have family back here with us.

[TNT4ME]

Wow! away for awhile and this. I hopr you are making mad cash for this. I would not go to any stan EVER (been already, mmmmm hated it). So hats off to you and good luck. Just be careful over there. Thanks for the site. ;)

[04 elantra cvvt]

As everyone else has said, thanks for the time and effort you have put into this site. I know how hard it is because I am trying to get one going myself. So I admire your will and determination. Take care of yourself over there and I know I speak for everyone when I say, COME HOME SAFE!!!!

[BlueGT]

Thank you, guys, for all your kind words! I will never forget you. EXD and its members became such a big part of my life.

[only1db]

[2XDreme]

I just hope the person you appoint administrator will put the same amount of time and effort into the site as you have blue!!!

Take care buddy

[2onPark]

Sorry to see you go Blue GT! But like all good things it has to end sooner or later. Your site has helped me out alot, and your group buys were really helpful. I wish you the very best and I'll know that you'll do a GREAT job in whatever you do. I'm pretty sure to say that we all at ElantraXD will miss you!!! Drop us a line whenever you have a chance.
Sincerely,
Greg

[chaldowhiteboy]

[SuperGLS]

The original website started in October of 2002. (You could check in out if the Archive link was working, but it's not working right now). Then in April of 2004 this new forum was started.

We run things.

[Whipper]

sorry to see you go, but good luck in the new endeavor (or however you spell that)

[Munky]

We run things.

Hahah. When I read that I pictured James cocking his hat and saying "This is how we roll.."

[ricerrx7]

sorry to see you go, but good luck in the new endeavor (or however you spell that)

[SuperGLS]

Yeah right... didn't you guys know that this was all a big scam and basically he bought a Civic and was ashamed of himself? Hahah.

I just hope he comes back from Kazakhstan some day and says hi.

[Munky]

I just hope he comes back from Kazakhstan some day and says hi.

I wonder if he got the pleasure of meeting Sacha Baron Cohen when he was filming in Kazakhstan. ;)

That would be a great story to tell.

[ilanpro]
