Hello all,
I'm looking to get some information on tuning and suspension ... and whatever else. I drive a Kia Spectra5, so I'm looking to get some knowledge from my Kias uncle ... the Tiburon. They share the same heart (Beta II CVVT) and suspension .... so, here I am. smile.gif

Hi there, although you do have the same engine as the 2003 I-4 tiburon, the engine we have (beta I) is remarkably similar (only a couple differences) and you will most likely find answers faster and easier here.
Let us know what your questions are and then we can help you out.

Thanks all for the big welcome. Osv4 wanted some more info so here goes ...
For me, I'm a web programmer, working for Washington State for 2 years now. Before that I was a 25 yr journey level machinist, making airplane parts.
As for the vehicle ... Painted lights, cleared corners, 19mm Tiburon rear sway bar, CAI, 2.5" cat forward exhaust and debadged. The future holds lowering springs, Tiburon/Sonata brake upgrade, Alpine Entry level Turbo(Stock Compression) and powder coating of the rims ... black of course.
