And an interesting review of the 2000 Tiburon found on TheTruthAboutCars while that crazy RD makes awesome sounds in the background



2000 Tiburon Review on TheTruthAboutCars



EDIT: Skip to 1:38

 

Yea but I don't think anybody even knows what happened to that car. Last I knew was Yamaha had it and sold it to somebody locally for around 3k and then the car has never been seen since.



I would love to know if that twin motor monster is prowling the streets or just rotting away in somebodies back yard.

 

Would you really love to know that it is turning to a pile of rust? I wouldn't.

 

I would hope that it "Isn't" sitting in someones back yard rusting.

 

Remove the front engine, create a spare tire/trunk much like in Porsches. Rebuild the rear engine and make it run.



Compete in drift events, own some toolbags in 240's with a RWD Tiburon.



Done.

 

if i recall the thing was built like sh*t, so its probably sitting in someones backyard, rusting away.. thats the big reason yamaha sold it i think.. didnt want to have to fix the 353 things wrong with it.

 

Oh man, that's sad to hear... I'm sure someone on these forums would love to buy the thing and run it like it deserves



How did the rear suspension work on this thing :unsure:

 

He probobly pulled something like the suspension from an MR2 or some other rear engine car. That would be my guess. That or fully fab.

 

It has a front frame assembly cut off, reversed and poorly welded to the rear of the car

It was cool on paper

But a death trap in real life

 

Wasn't it auto too?

And set up to run Meth?





I too want to get my hands on that thing, but the amount of money and time it will take to get back to decent shape will be staggering. Still, even if it just sits in the garage and gets part time attention on weekends I bet that still an improvement on it's current life. Sad really
