Good day everyone.

My name's Pete and I'm from the Philippines.
Driving a Tiburon 98 or as what its known here the COUPE. (most people actually pronounce it the British way with 2 syllables)
Anyway, obviously Im new and I am so happy at the same time mixed up with excitement and astonishment to actually see a community, a very large one for the record, of people having the same passion as me. For the record, there is not much of the love for Hyundais in here coz of the stigma that the brand is unreliable and unpractical. Im so glad to not be alone and am looking forward to proving the skeptics wrong....

Happy sharing my RD Brothers!

OK, I have to ask, how do you pronounce coupe as two syllables? "Coup pe"?

^^ Yeah, "cou-pay"

Hyundai has turned into a great manufacturer (ok, the new tiburons aren't that great, but overall...), so prove them wrong!
Welcome!

hey welcome to the forums!! yeah most phillippino people buy japanese cars honda/acura, at least they do in the states. even here tiburons are a rarity. it's nice to have something other people do not have.

you have a malaysian/phillippine club over there who did some crazy things to their tiburons. one i think was all wheel drive conversion and the other was mitsubishi FTO engine conversion. tiburons are really nice and rare cars. you can get a lot of help from us here.

some photos would be nice. phillippines is very beautiful.

Well, welcome to the site, you will enjoy a lot, and as HKC said, there is (was?) an important club in Phillipines that did awsome convertions for Tiburons... look in the internet for them...
