Kitfox, we do have that option, and no, the OEM GK gauges sucked.

KSpec must make a killing off of those "T" badges and "Tuscani" lettering. It is hilarious to go to NewTiburon.com and see 90% of them have them, and then here them talk crap about Integras with "Type R" badging and such. A few of the GK drivers try to point that out, but they all say its somehow "different" with the Tiburon. LOL.

Heh, be glad the Type R Turbulence craze didn't hit RD.

Hopefully, it won't.

ok ive seen like 5 examples of leet speak the past 20 minust and so far im assuming ive been the only one warned, anyway whats the type R badge for the Tibs im intrested, but im the forum moron, im a stupid worthless idiot, ooo, look, im an attention whore, *Dur* tnx for branding me red. As was said in the original post that the liscense plates were eurostyle i think we can probably agree on the fact that the car was either imported or someone put some weird liscense plates on there, when you see the car again id recomend asking or something, also ive been asking java about getting little buisness cards so we can give out to other tib owners to bring more members onto the site, so far no response.

Even if Redz did get me for it, its a point for five days. Well worth it for the metaphor. tongue.gif Although if I got it on top of a off-topic it would stink, which is where this thread is going.

I would put Turbulence on an RD2 on the same ricey factorness as the T emblem on an an American GK. On a scale of 1-10, a 3... for slightly ricey, but not bad. tongue.gif

Tuscanis are wierd either way. The only good thing about them is if your lazy and can't drive and they come with Traction Control.

I don't think it is ricey to rebrand the rd2 as a turbulance.. that is what is called in Korea.. My own tib has been rebadged as a "coupe".... working on getting the rest of the coupe stuff here from the UK.... need my mats shipped

Well, here is my rough definition of "rice"

It's not right, and it's not nice. hence "rice"

Of course there is the saying Form follows Function. And in that regard, if you have parts on the car that are Korean Spec (KDM wink1.gif) Then I would see no issues with having Turbulence on the car. Look at Jaws021 he's got the stock sideskirts off of a true "type R Turbulence" no?? I think he has the right to call his car turbulence. He could also go with coupe cause he's got the F2 evo bumper, but meh......
