Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe

Old news....

I have been following and posting about this car as have others for awhile!

Hyundai's plant here is one of the most automated manufacturing plants in the country, they run lights out. It is very sophisticated and neat!

I have been eyeing these up with thoughts of interchangeble parts with the new evo and such, RWD would be fun, Brembos and Limited slip are optional, so you can get a base model 4 banger with the cool stuff. Hyundai even let a lot of aftermarket companys get a sneak peak at these cars; they all went right to the turbo 4 model! I guess there is a motor mount in the way that might limit turbo size, but eh I'm sure someone could fab a manifold to get around it.
