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.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
