Hye Peeps,

my Colleague wanted to get a Hyundai Tiburone, asking if there is anything wrong with it, like manufacturing flaws etc etc. If anyone have one of them please post your thoughts and comment about the car. Cheers

If he's after a new one, tell him to hold off a few months - the next model will be RWD.

they are very fast cars! aparently they go faster then a twin turbo supra according to need for speed. jk

nah they seem to be alright despite the hyundai badge. they dont look as bad as the old s'coupe and aparently have pretty decent handling.....for a korean sports car.

Im hoping your colleague is female, if thats not the case

do you guys happen to work in a hairdessing salon!?!?! :)

Sorry I couldnt resist..... Tiburon?!?!? Stop it.

If its a female that wants one ok fair enough i can kind of understand that. But if its a male, what makes him want a Tiburon? Honestly i just don't understand why people actually go "Yes i want one of these cars". For the money there are much more sporty/faster/better built cars out there. So whats the appeal of the Tiburon?

wiat till the hyundai genesis coupe comes out in australia prob late 09

3.6l v6 (about 300hp) or a 2l turbo 4 (about 230hp) rwd, 6 speed man - goes hard

the 2.7L v6 tibby's can be supercharged very easily and will trash the pants of a lot of other cars.....

hi peeps thanks for comment I found an article on tiburone, they are fuel guzzler due to bad gear ration, I think it was saying the car will be at 2.5k rpm at 100km, or sumthing. he's decided not to get riburone. cheers guys

He aint getting one because it uses a lot of fuel........the dude doesn't know the meaning of using a lot of fuel, get him to drive a heavily modified skyline for a few weeks to truely appreciate the word "fuel consumption".

my mum has one. the one before they updated it.

its a good little car.

manuals are better, my mums is an auto. a very shit auto, tiptronic that changes by itself and doesnt hold gears.

other than that, its a good car to drive.

and its pretty good on fuel too.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
