My name is Shirell Patterson
I'm from South Bend Indiana (Most know it as Notre Dame Indiana)
I don't remember how I found the forums maybe Newtib
I drive a 1997 Tiburon with 275,000 miles on it. 1st one in the area in March of 97
Not much done to it, Rims, springs, intake, front strut bar, cross drilled rotors and full exhaust
Most things added more then 10 years ago
I can actually say that I waxed the paint off of some of the hood roof and trunk.

The motor is just fine. Both the engine and trans are in good shape and never changed, haven't had any major problems.

That's good to hear. 275k with no major problems or replacement is quite the feat.

BTW, what is that on the valve cover, bird splatter? lol

If your talking about the front part of the valve cover that's some plastic weld stuff that I had on hand when I cracked it after over tightening the grounds to the Nology Hot wires that I used to run years ago. I used to keep that cover for a spare after I got a red one from e-bay, I was at work and was changing the valve cover gasket and the guys in parts neglected to tell me that all of the parts didn't make it in that day and I needed my car so I had a friend get my spare and it's been on ever since.
