well, finally, after 2 months without one... i am again a proud owner of an RD series tiburon.

i was searching Ebay for tiburons on monday and came across a 1997. so, i opened it and found that the car was in the next town over from me. i emailed him, drove it and felt right at home. i put a deposit on it yesterday, and bought the car today.

like i said, it's a 97 1.8L Tib. its got 74K miles on it. its kinda base. no cruise, no sunroof, no rear wiper. does have a spoiler though. the body is in damn nice shape. few dings here and there. nothing majorly bad.

i have so much research to do now. lol. like, how to convert from drum to disk brakes. captive rotor to non-captive rotor swap.... does this mean my car is a REV-A? I looked under the battery tray and there was nothing there... ?? I also i have to figure out whats wrong w/ the driver door. the car doesn't know the door is open. no dinging noise, and the interior light doesn't turn on. it does w/ the passenger door, so there is something wrong w/ either that little button or the wiring in there.

i already have bought a few things. it sucks i sold virtually everything from my old car.

all-in-all, i LOVE the car. i missed having a tiburon SOOOO much. i'm so glad..... I'M BACK!!!!

well, here are the pictures i took today

 

I Like the color, a clean canvas to start your masterpiece. Now i know them shoes will be the first to go Right, wink1.gif

 

Welcome back wink1.gif Looks like a pretty clean car. Not bad miles on it either for an 8 year old car.

 

welcome back to the fold... and I agree.. really pretty colour.

 

sweet man.

im betting all you need is to replace that little magnetic reed switch for your door problem.

 

It is in good shape, what color is it?
