1. How did you get into the Hyundai scene?
First time I saw a GK Tib I really like how it looks but since I could not afford one at that time I went and got myself an RD1.

2. What has been your best accomplishment with the car?
Learning to fix things myself. I started on this project not knowing how to change a spark plugs or do an oil change. After my car kept getting messed up by a local shop, I finally started to learned to fix things myself and get better results.

3. Where do you see yourself in the immediate and long term future with the car?
I’m planning on finishing this project and keeping it for a year or two, then move on to a newer and faster (or better) project like maybe a Genesis Coupe.

4. Thanks and Props:
I would like to thank everyone at Hyundai Aftermarket for all the help. You guys have provided me throughout this project and without this site, I’m pretty sure this car would probably be in the junkyard by now. Special thanks to Turboron99 (Tyson) for nominating and helping me with some issues I had with the car. I also want to give thanks to Turbosocks (Nate) for all the advice with products, decisions, and guidance..
