Hiya, folks - joined recently and want to show off my ride, what do you think???









These are some pics I took this summer. There have been a few changes since then - the foglights have gone, now 4" ducting feeds cold air to the Short Ram Induction kit and the radiator. The side indicators have been replaced with round, low-profile smoked items from a mk1 Mazda MX-5 and I've fitted chrome indicator bulbs. Thats about it - no mods inside bar the alloy knob from the F2 EVO.

Ceramic wrapped XSPower 4-2-1 manifold, custom cat (own design) and XSPower midsection and exhaust
Custom Short Ram Intake with cold air feed from foglights
Bonnet raised 1/4" and seals removed to aid cooling
ThrottleBody Heater bypass
BOSCH SUPER4 plugs and Magnecor Blue 8mm leads
OMP strutbrace
EXEEDY Stage1 Road/Race clutch
Rear Towbar fitted - works like a rear strutbrace - and lets me tow my caravan...
F2 EVO 16" wheels (HANKOOK Ventus V12EVO rubber)
Painted calipers
no rear spoiler, ATM - it's being modified

131WHP and 129lbs/ft torque. Entertaining - and not bad from a car thats covered 132 000 miles...

Engine wise is awesome.

What are your plans for exterior modifications?

Keep up the good work. Looks good so far.

Cheers folks cool.gif

Exterior wise - not really after doing much... The factory spoiler will be refitted, I am in the process of raising the height by a couple inches - just enough to look differant. Thats pretty much it, mate - not really a body-mods person, TBH. More about Go than Show, if you know what I mean... wink1.gif

Plus, I just got finished at work last week - so the cash situation is grim, at the mo... sigh.gif

I've NEVER heard of anyone trying to raise their Tiburon...lol. Even the lowest of the low have never mentioned anything about it being "too low".

I definitely should have gone the Go before Show way...oh well....Everyone does things a little differently.

Car look good!
