Hi everyone! I recently got a 2000 Tiburon with 40k miles on it. I want to make some mods to it and I have some vague idea of what I want but the problem is that I live in Romania, Europe and I can't order parts from the US. So, question is: what performance parts manufacturers have dealers in Europe (I'm not hoping for Romania). I'm interested in an induction kit, a clutch kit, short shifter and headers for now.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Welcome to the site! I also have a 2000 Tib. I can't help you with a source for parts though. Hopefully one of the members from that part of the world will let you know.

Welcome my friend.
For parts, www.kspec.com will ship to you direct from Korea, they have everything but the induction kits. if you need to, you can buy a intake from Ebay.com or elsewhere and have it shipped to me, I'll ship it to you and you pay me the s/h costs. I do this for several folks on the forums.
Kspec.com is also going to have a BIG group buy on VHR Clutch systems next month.

why can't you buy from the US?
also, you may be interested in a UK-based Hyundai Tiburon site. Can't find the site name at the moment but I will. Some UK chap will probably beat me to it. They have a nice site (sorta like this one) that will be able to help you with parts.

There are a few of us in the states who help our Eastern European neighbors with shipping.
You might want to look to the UK Hyundai Coupe Site :UKHCS
They are a lot closer and there are some hot Coupes in the UK. Xorro is a peach too!

Thanks guys, I feel just like home! 
I checked out www.kspec.com but I didn't know about the shipping, I'll look into it. I just came from the Hyundai dealership and I asked about the stock clutch kit and it's 430$ (including the work). I think I need a new clutch, it's not slipping or anything but it grabes when the pedal is very high, it's like nothing happens for the first 3/4 of the way. I want a sport clutch kit anyway, but until I figure out how to buy it, does anyone have any ideas about what I can do to make the clutch grab sooner? I have a lot more questions but I'll ask them one by one.... laugh.gif

You don't know what about the shipping at Kspec.com? Shipping prices are INCLUDED in all our prices.
