I would have relocated the battery. Still a sweet setup. Fast little sucker!

 

I want one =p

 

that's a quick car!!

 

These guys have the fastest WRX in the world.. so you now know why this goes so fast..

 

The more weight on the front, the better. If you have to have it, like a battery, might as well have it in front where it will do some good. I don't spin rear tires in my Talon (11.3s @ 128), just the fronts, so some weight can help in some circumstances.

Hilg

 

An AWD accent? That's crazy...

 

Should have stuck with the Evo3 body

 

If you noticed, its only the Evo 3 Engine... the Drivetrain is from the CC GSR Lancer, as cheaper to replace if it breaks, and they can handle a heapdload of power, and are very under-rated by many.

 

I suppose... but the Accent is so f'ugly.

 

no car is ugly with that kind of intercooler in front of it

but im sure some could be ugly regardless...who knows

 

haha, and i always said that hyndai accents were pieces of shit
