Hello all the way from sunny South Africa!

Ive been an Opel/Vauxhall fan since the start of my driving experience, just recently I became the proud owner of an 06 Hyundai Tiburon and I can definitely say I have been converted!

Here's to my first step in learning more about my tiburon.

 

welcome2.gif to the site and congrats on your new Tib! smile.gif Feel free to ask any questions you have. Did you get the V6 or I4?

 

Thanks will do! laugh.gif

Got the I4, given the specs of the V6 its alittle overpriced this side.

There are a few members here from south Africa, but I don't think any of them post all that often anymore.

Thanks.

Yeah the tiburon is not very well known in South Africa (I still meet a few people now and then who have no idea what the tiburon even is) , aftermarket parts are especially hard to come by unless you import but that costs alot of $$$$ for us. So I think most tiburon owners generally lose interest and move on.

Thanks bud! already feeling very welcome smile.gif

 

When I think of South Africa, and Hyundai....I think of the whole CNK issue that alot of the old skool members remember.

For the new people...CNK was a company located in South Africa that ripped Hyundai owners off of thousands and thousands of dollars. HUGE lawsuit went into effect, and not sure what ever happened with it. I think it didnt go anywhere because of the fact that the company was located in another country.
