Heck, could you imagine an Accent with 200+ horses under the hood?? Hell toss in a hemi, rip out the dash, ahhhh hell never mind, now can you imagine an Accent with a 4 inch lift and four wheel drive?? Better make it six inches or better, I'm gonna wanna run bigger rubber on her....man oh man...the possibilities. LOL!!!

Oh it is possible, where do you think all of that military money went. Single guy 20 years old, base housing, what else could I do. I like the challenge of taking a non typically souped up vehicle and making it scream. Just yesterday a Mitsubishi Eclipse GTS thought he would be a smart ass, he even had a run on me when he started to pass and I still romped the piss out of him. He stayed behind me the rest of the way home but wouldn't come any closer than 4 car lengths, even when I stopped at a light. He was probably embarassed and thought of his friends reactions when he tells them that he got spanked by a 95 Accent.

Lots of determinaton, and more moneyinvested than I wish to say.
Engine swap ffor starters( hello Mr. 2.0)
cams, crank, bearing, rings, rods, higher comp piston, shaved head, port and polish, decreased valve friction
Intake, header, hand built 2 3/4 inch exhaust, high flow cat, Ractive mufler
MSD ignition,platinum 4 plugs,
AEM fuel rail, dual fuel pump, 1500cc injectors
Enlarged oil sump
Fluidyne radiator, HKS intercooler
garrett T66 Turbo
Some other little components that were a pain in the ass to install but the end result is one mean machine. Best of all I kept it basically as a sleeper, until of course you hearthe Turbo X blow-off valve.

As far as I know the largest displacement you can fit under my body style accent is the 2.0. It is cramped in my engine bay. One thing that I may try though is to get a new accent, or newer ..03.04, and try to stuff the Tib GT engine in there.

I am currently serving an Active duty tour of homeland security at Shaw AFB. I am a member of the Vermont Air National Guard.
The Tib's engine fits in there?!?!? Certinally (SP?) not the v-6 engine! I don't think I could drive an Accent with that 6 in it.
