Hey guys..sorry if i posted in the worng section of the forum, but i couldnt figure out where it should go=/
I was just in a meet over with some local hyundai lovers and we met in the PSC (performancestylingcenter.com), they got a GK Tiburon in the garage, that appearently does 8.4 down the 1/4 slip..
Its a long story how it got there..but ill jump straight to conlcusion, some rich University Korean student wanted to see a Hyundai race so he asked his dad to buy a drag car and ship the car to Australia to drag race, well after that they havent seen or heard from the owners of the car laugh.gif
Few pics:
They cant race the car, because its not theirs and if something happens to it, they would be in big trouble so the car just spends time locked up in the garage laugh.gif

Vehicle: 1997 RD Tiburon
I've posted a few pictures of that car in the past. It was made in Korea and shipped here. Bretton and Andre have a had a fair few head aches regarding the Korean side of the project. It's also got alot of short cuts, it still runs standard drive shafts and the Koreans only brought over 3 pistons to do a quick rebuild before a set of testing runs. It's yet to run properly, it's very problematic.
If it ran as it was intended it would on of the quickest FWD drag cars here in Australia

^^ It'll probably end up like the 4G63 Accent that some Korean guy had Tony Rigoli build. Got built, ran 2 or 3 passes, it was a weapon. Then never heard from the guy in Korea ever again..........The motor is now in the 'Cyclon' Mitsi Cordia
