Hey guys,

What do you guys think?

Ericy321

VERY nice. Love the F2. Only huge complaint I have is the spoiler. Do you still have the original? I hope you didnt get rid of it. If you still have it and want to get rid of it there are a few people here that would love to have it. Id even think about grabbing it.

i still have the original mate, havent yet fitted or painted the new spoiler.

the original needs re-laquering and one of the guys on UKHCC has got the first dibs on it but if that falls through i can send it over here.



Its a nice spoiler, just fancied something a little bigger to suit the curves of the car so picked this one up locally

Looks really good man. However, I'm with Ericy on the spoiler.

Steezy

looks great.. I wish I had right seat drive

Coming from a guy whose username means Hyundai Coupe Kit Car, I have this to say:

I think that's the sickest Hyundai Tiburon out there, you are probably the only Turbocharged F2 Evo in the world. I LOVE the rally flaps and the whole rally theme, because that's what I'm all about and I know all about the F2 and its history and am trying to make a video compilation of it so people know Hyundai has rally bread racing heritage in its past (believe it or not, some people who don't know SQUAT say Hyundai doesn't have any).

McRae/Senior, Bell/Stuart, Eriksson/Paramander convincing enough?

Those names being said, I absolutely loathe your rims and the new spoiler. What you should do is get some nice rims:



that'll give it that classy look.

for the spoiler. make it like the F2.

take it off. mold it like the official one. mold connect bottom and fiberglass a base like you see in the picture. curve out the edges like pictured.

that will match with the rally theme and your official front rally vent. don't forget the second air vent in the center. also, take off those fake F2 badges, and get some real ones!!

This isnt finished yet, my todo list includes:
cutting and smoothing the vent into the bonnet (need it to get some cold air under that bonnet
Spoiler - i think the new spoiler will look alot better once it is on, abit like an alfa/supra type spoiler, just needs spraying and fitting properly first
fully debadging - the F2 badges have already gone, going to remove the other badges too
new clutch - the current one just keeps slipping under load
re-do my install
new alloys - something like the originals but in 17s rather than 16
pulley upgrade - lighweight pulleys and flywheel
respray - same color again but with more metalflakes in the laquer







There were 2 versions of the F2 released over here in the UK, there was the F2 which was to commemorate the rally car, and then there was the F2 Evolution, Hyundai had big plans for the F2 Evolution, turns out, when they actually came to make it they only changed the cams, badges, front bumper and rear spoiler i believe. The F2 came in more of a baby blue whereas the F2 Evo was made in silver and cobalt blue. If you want any info on them have a look on www.hyundaicoupe.info or drop me a line and ill see what i can help with mate

looks good...not a fan of the rims nor the new spoiler

why so small intercooler pipes?

optimoprime

looks good but you have one of the rarest tibs in the world why destroy it by taking off the uber rare spoiler and putting on a supra spoiler?? that just dosent make much sense to me. and hood vents....very 90's


good luck with the project it looks great now

SOCKS_old

that hood vent is from the kit car i believe.. its made for the car, not some cheap ricer scoop..

car looks pretty good. always loved the f2 evo's

not a fan of the new spoiler, rims, or the turbo kit.. i love turbo tibs and all, but that kit just looks sub-par IMO..

only thing i like about the kit is the IC.. looks PERFECT in that bumper.
