Sup guys



I've been eagerly searching for an s-coupe turbo (or GT, depending on your region) for upwards of two years now. I can't find any in australia. The only one around has been horribly, permanently riced and it is on the other side of the country. I recall hearing that only 70 were imported into australia (._,)







How common are they where you live? Are they considered fast/desirable, or just beaters? I'm interested.

In Puerto Rico there are a few, mostly ugly and poorly modified.

It has been a long time since I have seen a regular, much less a turbo. The last turbo I saw was when I lived in Colorado Springs.

I haven't seen one here in Canada in a VERY long time. At least 7 years or more??? Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen a Hyundai older than a 99 in a long time. Canadian winters KILL cars so unless it's stored in the winter (like my Accent), don't expect your car to last longer than 10 years.

there are a few NA ones around, but they are all pretty overpriced IMO. people are asking 2-4k for them, there are a couple of rusty/mouldy/broken/unregistered NA scoupes for $500-$1k.



at least rust isn't a problem over here. i'd love to own one, but i might have to get a half cut or something. it will be an uphill battle for sure.

i currently own one 1994 ls turbo . i spent 3 years looking for one. finally found one in Maryland for cheap (the guy didnt know what it was) haha! bought it was already competely modified...I think at this point i have the only one on the east coast of the u.s! i have never seen another turboed one. They arent considered fast or beaters i think there just considered rare......only hyundai owners recognize the signifagance of SCOUPE ownership! lol

Back when i lived in Puerto Rico I had a Teal 95 LS Turbo. In my Hometown there where at least 20+ Scoupe and more than half where turbo models. i have seen here 3-4 and one is a turbo 93-94 red with black roof(the 95 had same color roof) and it's owned by a Puerto Rican and he brought it from PR. If i could find one i would buy it in a heartbeat.
