No one has it because no one here has really needed it. It is also a Korean part, so shipping and communication would be a b*tch. We Americans just get by with an Elantra transmission.
Speaking of pics, where are your build pics?

sorry for not posting pics before! here are pics of my installation ITB "jenvey", with electronic component "E-RACE" box:
If someone has ITB installed in an RD model with beta I engine, I would be satisfied to know which FGR he installed.

Very cool!
If you can fit ITB's, you can fit the Korean 6 speed. The 6 speed's internals fit inside the RD's tranny case even supposedly.
What is the purpose of your build?

the purpose is to have faster acceleration (road), because with the stock gearbox, the highest power (194hp) is aimed at 7300RPM, so too long to race correctly...definitely, the best would be at around 5500RPM.
I'm very circumspect about installing the korean 6 speed in a RD model...

The FGR kits were not very popular, at least here in the US.
Racing Performance Works in Australia deals with modded Hyundais more than any English speaking tuning shop I'm aware of. They don't offer new gearsets on their website, but you may be able to contact them and get some good advice.

Thanks to javier_el_blanco for his perfect recommendation!! The ratios from the gearbox of Tiburon 2003 engine 1,6L seem perfect for my ITB installation, with FGR 4.41:
I 3.462 (15.27)
II 2.053 (9.05)
III 1.393 (6.14)
IV 1.061 (4.68)
V 0.837 (3.69)
So I may swap the full gearbox to install the one from GK 1,6L year 2003.
EDIT: I swapped and installed the gearbox from GK 1,6L, and this swap is phenomenal
acceleration is fantastic, and roughly noisy as well, it is a pure pleasure to use my car!!! I highly recommend to all users with ITB system to use this gearbox!!
