First off let me say this was a hell of a deal to pass up. I bought this car for $1,500 in running and driving condition and drove it back from Louisville, KY. The care needs some attention in the areas of shifting, rear wheel wells to be rolled, and some major tuning.

The motor:  
41mm crank block  
Block has been bored .020" over with Ross 9:1 forged pistons and Crower Rods  
Pistons use custom thicker rings with more radial depth (compression rings are 1.8mm thick, oil ring is 3.00mm thick)  
Pistons have 0.05" wall clearance for ~500WHP power handling, but it sounds like a diesel when cold smile.gif  
Block has been decked to 0.015 quench clearance when cold  
Head ported by Manny Rodriguez of Saleen  
Custom set of ARP studs for both the head and main caps  
Air Ram intake  
HVE 58.5mm throttlebody  
HVE 4-1 header

The fueling:  
750CC peak-and-hold (low-impedance) injectors, freshly returned from RC Engineering pressure cleaning  
Aeromotive adjustable FPR (with guage)  
Stock fuel rail modified to accept an -8an line between the return end and the FPR  
Walbro 255LPH high-pressure unit (replaced it less than three months ago, as the old one died due to gunk in the tank)  
New fuel tank (as the stocker killed the old Walbro pump due to nasty gunk in it)  
New genuine Hyundai fuel filter

Engine management:  
Haltech E6K  
3 bar map  
Innovate LC1 wideband O2 sensor and associated Innovate DB gauge  
Compaq Armada M300 P3/600 + 64mb ram for tuning  
Tuned sufficiently to allow normal driving, starting. Not “dyno tuned” to the current build though…

Suspension  
5-lug GK-swapped RD currently  
2003 GK GT wheels painted black  
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 215/45ZR17 that have less than 200 miles on them  
H&R Touring Cup kit (springs + struts) with less than 200 miles  
Eibach front and rear sway bars  
Adjustable sway bar links  
Eibach camber adjustment bolts on all four corners

Brakes  
EBC dimpled and slotted 11" rotors for the GK  
Axxis Ultimate Ceramic brake pads  
Front calipers from a 2006 GT  
Stainless steel brake lines

Misc crap in or on the car  
Carbon fiber-looking dash  
Eclipse 5342R head unit  
Random K&N-lookalike cone intake filter  
Got some of those hard-plastic shift cable linkage things  
Also have a set of the replacement metal grommets for the shift base too

Parts that come with the car, but are not installed:  
Brand new Nitrous Express direct-port 10lb kit (50/100/150/200 nozzles)  
Brand new spare clutch master cylinder with stainless steel hydraulic line (matches the brake lines)  
Brand new spare OEM flywheel  
Pair of SR 264-degree cams  
Brand new Fidanza adjustable cam gear  
Single random 24x? degree intake cam with the rare RSide adjustable cam sprocket  
Spare used 550cc and stock 245cc injectors  
Single 1.8L intake cam  
Spare stock dash (double-din radio / shifter section, gauge surround section)  
Haltech twin dumb ignitor module (car currently uses an RX7 toggle ignitor for spark)  
Haltech idle air control valve (car currently has no idle control except for the throttle screw)

Not sure what I am looking for out of it yet. Going to sell some parts that I will not need and build a cheaper car.

Good Luck though.
