Hey all the name is Mart. Im from Michigan, Driving my first Tiburon (2001 auto). Owned 3 years.
Found the Group looking from google, looking for help understanding more of the Tiburon. Trying to find out how I can take better care of the Tibby then the last owner.

Ive done no mods yet. However I'll be looking to do some soon..

Glad I found the site. Hope to obtain the wonderful knowledge of the other owners.

Welcome!!

Lets get a little more information about your car:

Miles?

Future Plans/Upgrades?



You had the car for 3 years i would suggest the following:
Belts (unless you have changed them since you got the car) - timing, ac, power steering, alternator
Plugs, Wires, Maybe Coil
Oil Flush, Trans Flush
Cold Air Intake - Easy to do and should be the first upgrade.

Welcome to the site.

where in MI are you? ill be moving back to MI in nov/dec to the harrison/clinton township area. my brother lives in grand haven.

If you wanna mod the car and are close to the area ill be moving to, i can help you do whatever you want.

I don't have a tib any more, but my old tib was turbocharged and had a custom (unfinished) widebody with a ton of other crap.

Tibby has 82200, 4cy auto.

The south wasn't friendly to her, a lot of body damage.

Futures are Cold air and a small turbo, body panels.

we have a couple members near grand rapids.

purpletib (met him a couple times, hell of a guy)

cajdarkmoon (helped him on a few jobs with his car, good guy)

and when i move back to MI, ill be in the area around once a month to visit my brother and stuff, so if ya need help, let me know.

id say scrap the turbo idea, unless you plan on LOTS of money into it, and swapping out the motor and trans eventually for a fresh motor and 5-speed trans. not to say there arn't turbo auto tibs, but i see no real point unless you also build the auto trans up to handle boost over 5psi.
