hey im kinda new here, only 15 but i just love these cars, been mostly reading and not replying much but thats about to change. got my baby on Thursday from mass, i live in NH. the tibby is red with 32,000 miles, 5 speed, leather interior, basically perfect condition (bit of a scrape on the front bumper). oddly enough my gram bought the car for $6,995, and they delivered it, had to drive the dealer back tho lol
sorry no pics yet but later today i will have them up, im getting batteries for my camera when i get silicone sealant for my diy clear corners later today.

im hoping to get about a diy mod a week done + w/e i buy with my part time McDonald's income 02.gif
so far ive debadged, gotten my corners apart and measured out the door sill thing (long plate at the base of the door) so i can cut some acrylic to engrave with the Tiburon logo. kinda like this:

only prolly without the aluminum, i dn where i can get a sheet that big.. ill be making a thread about this soon (and yes redz i have searched)

well tell me what u think guys, not that theres much to say without pics

 

I think its awesome your interested, sounds like a nice car especially with that low miles, what year is it? Keep us posted on your progress fing02.gif PICSSS

 

very nice miles, and it sounds like your allready digging into the car. cant wait to see what the car will turn out like in the future smile.gif

 

Welcome to the forums and good luck with your projects!

 

thx guys cool.gif
sorry forgot the year, its an 01. since i cant legally drive it yet i might as well mod it and not just let it rot right rolleyes.gif

first on my list of mods to buy are: intake, euro tails, led corner bulbs, short shifter, and guages
first DIY's are: clear corners, door sills, headlight taillight and vent halo's, the "big three" wire upgrade, gear link mod and an oil catch can (when i install my intake)
anyone have any other reccomended diy's?

BTW the pics arnt going to be spectacular or anything, my cam sux... sad.gif

exactly man, i live in such a small town we dont even have a damn gas station, 3 cops, volunteer fire department, and a one room library lmao.gif
that and i still need a bit of practice getting used to a stick 02.gif

 

Welcome. Do your parents got a 5-sp for you to pratice on I would hate for you to blow your tibs tranny. fing02.gif

 

Good choice in cars! wink1.gif

Tiburons are one of the easiest cars to learn how to drive stick - they have a very smooth clutch, it's pretty hard to stall lol Practice makes perfect, just remember not to rush yourself - confidence is everything tongue.gif

 

to tell u the truth i dn anyone with a stick, so im kinda stuck learning on the tib... we have a big driveway, kinda like a D, with the strait line being the road, so i basically practice going in circles around that (very carefully wink1.gif )
