wow nice find man. i love the molding job, except for if you hit something you're ultimately fvcked. and the engine just about stock. other than that it's some really crafty work and definitely a cool tiburon.

$45,000 in upgrades? Even in Canadian dollars I don't see it.
I love the intercooler not hooked up to anything. That must add 50hp. lmao.gif
Despite the high rice factor, the molded kit looks nice.
Why didn't he post the VIN? That raises a red flag.

This guy has been a member here a few times. Can't remember his name, but he doesn't take criticism well.
Matter of fact, I think he was an asshole too.
Ever notice that most of the "ALL SHOW" guys are assholes?

Dude, your car is a show car, you'd win first place.
At a Georgian "f*** Your Brother" Car Show.
They'd think your car is tits.

$45,000 in add ons on a stock engine, other than headers is BS. Yeah, real veilside fully molded can set you back a few grand, but only about 10% of what he's claiming. Zex kit and ICE are the only other places I can see where the money was supposedly spent. Not that I'm hating on him, I'd love to have that amount of work done to my car...but I think he's FOS. DAMN good price though. And yes, the fake intercooler is TOTAL RICE... What a jacka$$!

Maybe he totaled all of his time working on it at his shop prices? I dunno. Its pretty shabbily done work. He didn't hide wires. He left has unclipped zipties. His gauges are for an RD1 vehical and he darkened in the white parts with a black marker to fit the RD2 speedo.
I don't like the quality of work done on the vehical and to spend 40,000 dollars on a car and have that many visible problems is a load of horse shit. I wouldn't spend that much on a high milage tib. The guy probly fried his engine with that N20 setup and is selling it now.

rival imports... that guy bought a santa fe, sold the tib. this must be the new owner. I remember the old owner being pretty cool. maybe we are thinking of different people redz. back then it didn't have the vielside.
