Glad to have you on the Tiburon team. What color is it and what features do you have (leather or sunroof)?
Any plans for a body kit? I suggest it >;-]

THX ALL! i'm sooooo happy to be here!!!!!!!! but unfortunately when i bought the car i noticed oil leaking at the dealership i told them and they said they would fix it...i figured they did and later that nite i noticed it was leaking worse so i drove 2 miles to my girlfriends house...by the time i got there the oil drain bolt was gone. i got a replacement but had no access to tools (2am) so i hand tightened it and added oil. well i had to drive 13 miles home...and well basically the bolt did not last...so i did some damage..they towed my car to the dealerhsip and the said they would fix it. after a week they said that some conrod bearing were broke so they replaced them then found valve damage so just yesterday they told me they were going to replace the whole engine!!!! i guess it worth another week of waitng for a new engine for freee!!!!!! awesome! what sux was i'm addicted to my car, i only had it for 10 hours!!!!! soon..i'll be back!
the exterior is black with the 2 tone black leather interior. power everthing including power sunroof. 4 wheel disc brake, it came with the stock radio (CD and TAPE) i really love it!!! but what trim is it..???? SE, FX?? i have no idea..
hopefully i'll have it soon so i can continue modding it!!!
I do have plans for a kit...(long term) i was considering the ERUBUNI kit...non-VS..
