Hi, my name is Matthew (coal_forge from hyundaiperformance/honda-tech

I'm from Lexington South Carolina.

I drive a 2000 Hyundai tiburon.

I found these forums a long time ago, but some crazy stuff happend with passwords and I was unable to post, so I left this forum be only to return.

I've done the following mods to my car.
Header, 2.25" exhaust (switching back to 2&3/8" side exit), homemade short shifter, completly gutted except for cutting out metal panels, act 6 puc unsprung clutch with a heafty pressure plate, welded in strut tower bars, 1.8 intake cam, eibach springs with kyb struts, rolled on rustolem paint job, removed power steering/ac, removed clutch fluid restrictor plate, urathane filled engine mounts, cai, odyessey pc680, and I know I am forgetting stuff.
The future and present:
itb project underway, needs to be lowered again thanks to massive weight reduction, roof scoop/vent for positive ventilation and cooling air, recycling the air conditioning evaporater into an engine oil cooler, and melting down old fidanza flywheel and using it to fill engine mounts.

It's good to meet you all and I hope to share with you!

All i got is some old photos from dec07. A lot has changes with my car since then.

Waiting on paint to dry. I will be adding white to the paint because I am tired of all the comments about the army and such.

Nel, I'm glad you finally posted. I've seen your name in grey for about 3 years now and decided that I needed to send you a message. Good to see you as an active member now.
