Just sold my tiburon today
It had 2 big dents in left and right rear fender (someone hit the tiburon at the parking lot)..
Anyways.. My new car is a Honda Prelude 2.0i with a JDM h22a (2.2 vtec) on its way
17" rims, tinted windows and full leather interiour
and it's got a pearlnut white paintjob
I will miss the tiburon 02.gif but the new car is a beauty 2!

Sucks you sold the tib but congrats on the new purchase!
I really liked my Prelude but it was such a pain to work on (Im sure Alex will come in here and confirm that lol).

Just wanna tell, i really miss that tib..
This prelude is okay, but it just doesnt feel as the tiburon.. I really feel like heart broken lol
The prelude is smooth in acceleration and a real beauty from outside and inside with its digital dash and full leather sport seats etc... but the tib was def. faster, and the enginesound of the tib was a lot better than this prelude (louder and sounded better to the ears)
I think that I will sell this prelude and search for another tib.. such a shame I sold my tib, even though it had 2 big dents in both rear fenders..

Haha, the 2.3L non vtec was pretty quick, not as fast as a low boost/high n/a tib but could def take a stocker.
but the 2.0 i imagine would be pretty unimpressive, im just curious as to how you bought a car and just a couple days later realized it was slow. i woulda realized it on my first test drive with it...
But i hope you didnt lose to much money, if you played your cards right you may have made some money on the deals, the resale on preludes are pretty good. We made over $2000 profit by buying the car dirt cheap and keeping the car for a year and then selling it to somebody who really wanted it.
I changed your topic title to reflect the current situation haha.

Well I first sold my tib.. I was in love with this prelude..
I did knew that the prelude was a bit slower than a stock tib but the full leather interior and prealnut paintjob... i just fell in love with it
A couple of days passed by and I started to mis the tib too much and decided to sell the prelude and go for a tib again.. the tib has more back seat room, better interior etc which was more practical for me..
Anyway, I made money on both the tib and the prelude even though the prelude are quite cheap these days here (you can get one at 1500-2000 Euro)
Going to check a rd 1 tib on monday (pretty good deal and in a quite good condition)
