Then you would not want a Santa Fe 4WD conversion. Read up on the differences between 4WD and AWD. For driving in curves, FWD works fine, unless you want to "drift".

 

now your reading me random smile.gif But anyways it was modified magazine that stated it was an "AWD" kit i went back to the store to make sure i wasnt screwing up by saying the wrong thing and there it was "AWD tiburon". thanx for the corrections bow_down

let me also mention.

the automatic in the awd santafe is shiftronic.

so I guess that woudl help kepe RPMS high in the twisties to get some 4wd drifting in smile.gif

 

I too have the magazine in question. They called it an AWD conversion, but it is in fact a 4WD conversion.

I'm really starting to get disgusted with tuner magazines and their inaccurate reporting.

 

Well, Hyundai also calls it at times 4wd and at other times AWD.

 

Show me where Hyundai refers to the Santa Fe as "AWD". All the Hyundai websites and brochure's clearly refer to it as 4WD.

 

i checked the hyundai websites and they only state the 2wd and 4wd but there are other companies that are listing wrong info ( i guess)

No, not really. From what I've found, their info is based of press releases provided my the manufacturer. www.kbb.com is the same. Heck most magazines are the same. Very few "review" companies list the "real" weight of the car, the "true" output of the engine, etc.

 

Back on topic track if there are no AWD kits available what would you suggest for ultimate cornering of a FF like the 2003 tiburon. (Quaife Limited slip, SR coilover, struts, wider wheels ext ext ext)
