Here There,
I am taking a nice break from working (end of contract) and school (I did finish!) and helping the parents out back at home. One of the things enjoyable about it is being back in the FTA scene (no FTA receivers at my work accommodations lol), so I was wondering how it has been since Christmas time for Beverly and Charlie? Have they been nice and happy for the most part or were they spoiled too much with our fun and now begging mommy for help (N*gr*star)?
OK enough of that --
Anyone here know of a good place to buy a turbo kit IN CANADA for a 1998 Hyundai Elantra with a soon to be upgraded beta engine?
The original blew due to negligence - timing belt old and snapped - at 274,000km on it; considering the abuse that the engine went through it is absolutely amazing it lasted (bush car/ high speed dirt off road rally / driven hard to get cherry red exhaust daily). The new engine will be a 2002 Beta-II 2.0L engine which I bought earlier for $800 (I could have gotten a 1998 Beta 1 but heck the upgrade to Beta II is not hard so what the heck, and if I want to I can get the old electronics to run it – joy of being an engineer). I found that "SA Alpine" makes a kit for $3500USD... good price, but being from the US makes it a f*cking PITA for shipping and border nonsense, but if it’s my only choice I’ll figure something out to lesson the taxes/brokerage/shipping.
