Random? yes most likely but its something i havent seen b4 and im buying my parents 03 element from them so i figured i will have some fun with it. and the idea came to me while day dreaming at work. And im curious has any one done it b4? or is it possable or even a good idea?

 

heres the easy part

tuning this setup would be the challenge, im not sure what tuning software is available for your ride but there is a turbo kit available

 

^Not really a kit, more like a collection of parts. You're gonna have to fabricate a lot of the pipes and **** with that kit.

Not a bad thing, but probably not what you're looking for.

 

very few kits bought anywhere are complete bolt on, you can always bet on modifying something. he just wanted to know if its possible and it is.

 

Check out the Hellement

It's actually for sale if I remember right. The guy wanted $12K for it. Hell of a steal if you ask me.

 

Here's the for sale thread over on EOC

that element is sick

 

The Hellement is badass. The owner is a member on EOC. Really nice guy and it's a shame he had to sell it. It was going for a really good price.

I have a black '04 Element EX as well for daily and daddy duties and as much as I'd love to have that kind of power under the hood of mine, it's not at all practical for me. My daughter is in it most of the time and aside from that, the power would better used by someone who could utilize it more than I could. LOL my Element is either parked in the employee area at the dealership from 8am to 5pm all week long, at the gym 5:30pm-7pm and then in the driveway from 7:30pm-7:30am the next morning because I'm sleeping LOL .

 

Did he finally sell it?

 

I'm not sure if it sold or not. Guess I should rephrase that to say it's a shame he was having to sell it. I haven't been on EOC much over the last few weeks so I'm out of the loop a bit.

I just know he had to sell it for financial reasons last time I read up on it and it was sad to hear about it. They had a shop or something to I believe and it wasn't doing too well financially either.

Hope they made out okay.

 

I bought a set of hood struts from him when I first got my E.
Him and his wife are good people.

 

Never met them since I live in Canada but he does seem like a very nice guy from his posts I've seen on the boards.

I was gonna go to bed but can't sleep because I slept in too long today so I was actually on EOC not too long ago looking up brush guards LOL. Thinking of putting the Aries front brush guard and rear tail light guards on my Element in the spring. I love the aggressive off-road look, even if I only have 2WD

 

google "steelcraft" for those parts. that's what I have on mine.

 

There are also a few super charged E's on the EOC. I haven't seriously looked into it, but the few people who have gone FI seem to be really happy with it.

 

I know the turbo "Hellement" was pretty killer.

For now I am just keeping mine stock except for an exhaust and AEM cold air intake (I'll run it as a short ram in the winter). The exhaust is starting to corrode at the flanges so when it goes for a **** I'm planning to replace it with an INJEN cat-back. Since HALF of the stock Honda exhaust system (even with my Honda staff discount) is just shy of the full INJEN cat-back price, it makes sense to upgrade it and get a nice sound from it.

I'm looking into pricing and parts availability to convert mine to AWD. Aside from the hanger bearing support that needs to be welded in (2WD models don't come with it from the factory), the only other involved step is changing the transmission. Everything else is a bolt-in operation .

 

I can't wait for some serious snow to fall so I can see how my AWD does. Did pretty good out in Hawaii in the beach.

 

Lucky you .

I bought General Grabber AT-2's last December for my Element. They came into the shop, I installed them on my lunch hour and that afternoon we got dumped on!!! Talk about good timing .

I was very impressed with how well they did in the snow last winter for being 2WD. Looking forward to testing them out again this coming winter.

The Grabbers would be awesome with AWD

 

I may look at the Grabbers as my non-winter tires.
I also like the look of these:
Kumho KL71s




I ordered some Firestone Winterforces. Getting 'em studded as well.
Bring on the winter!!!

 

^That looks beast Looks like winter will be undercontrol for you.

 

Add a brush guard and taillight guards with the roof rack and basket and it would complete the package .

Those look more like a mud tire but they'll still kick *** in snow. One guy on EOC had BFG Mud Terrains on his AWD Element and he loved them. I like the tread patterns on the Grabber AT-2's a lot better than the BFG A/T's. Tread has a more flowing design to it.
