while being in Afghanistan i told my dad to sell the Hyundai Tib 1997 i had @ home

after it being sold previous week my dad found me a 2002 Hyundai Tiburon V6 6speedwhich i instantly fell i love with and told my dad to take it for a test drive and if he liked it, buy it based on the pictures i saw. and now i am a proud owner of a 2002 tib ready to get boosted and more to come, when i get back home in July i will start buying me the parts i need to go supercharged

I'm afraid you just got pwned... The RD1 is much better than that one, and there's no really such a thing as a 2002 Tiburon. (Ok, 1 in a thousand chance it's was actually made in 2002, but there's no official 2002 Tiburon)
Other than that, it's a pretty nice car.

Pretty nice, but I personally prefer the RD1's over the GK's.

And isn't a 2.7L engine pretty big for where you live?

SOCKS_old

not bad at all. i really like those rims..

IMO, def. upgrade over the rd1.

if you look at it at a car standpoint, and not a (which looks better to some people) the GK is an upgrade in everyway.

only thing i dont like about the 02-04 GKs is the front bumper.. the 05-06 bumper would look much nicer on there.

(the first 03s were sold in end of 02) which would make it 02 to some dealers, depending on how you look at it.

And I'd take a GK over an RD1 any day of the week, but since no one cares, let's not clog his thread up with the age old debate, eh? Nice car bro.

it might have been labeled as 2002 in those parts of town. i wouldn't say it's an upgrade in every way though. it's just a bit bigger and has bigger suspension and a bit quieter and newer but it's nearly identical in quality and performance. if anything, the interior is harder to take apart and there's a lot of things that don't make sense and lines going nowhere, head/taillight designs look too ordinary. the GK had potential, but they didn't go all the way with it which is why i'll never be seen in one.

i do like those rims. i loved the Superturismos but they needed to be 17' inch. what made you sell the rd1?

Only in the US really, other places DID have a 2002.

@strikeeagle: delivery date for the car was 2nd of November in 2002 that explains the 2002 altho it still might be noted as a 2003
@jasonyo: why should it be to big, gas prices might be a bit high at about 1.50euros+ for a litre of 95 octane, but that's not really a problem for me
@HCK: i always wanted to have a GK as a next hyundai so when i heard they where sending me to afghanistan i made my bad sell the car, and look for a new one
