and I am sure many additional things to come
Re: My 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT Supercharged
You posted your Hyundai on the wrong model specific forum with no explination of why. Then when someone calls you on it...
And you didn't think that would **** someone off? Seriously?
I would question the same of someone posting a modified Hyundai on a Crossfire forum and expecting the members to fellate you like foriegn appliance enthusiests... and I'm 22.
I actually like the car because it's clean and different. But don't act like "custom" or "forced induction" are things a Crossfire owner can't figure out... because a lot of us have been there and done that with faster, more capable, and more unique cars than your Korean calendar queen.
I hope we understand each other. And again, nice car.
EDIT:
Let us know what route you take for the ecu tune, the market is somewhat limited. And I wouldn't suggest spraying alcohol (a less efficient fuel) until you verify you have a detonation problem to benefit from correcting. You stand to gain more running street fuel and concentrating your efforts on better charge air cooling.
Also watch out for the traction control, and if you disable it, the lack of a mechanical LSD. It could ruin your day... or at least your launch.
Good luck. Keep us posted.

hhmm.. Nice ride. Have you thought about waiting for the Genesis Coupe to be available and mod that? I think that with the power of the Genesis Coupe, adding mods to it would make it one heck of a dragster.... And its not much more money than a usd SRT6.

It was a great car indeed, it was soo light, had a bit of a tendancy to understeer when on the throttle and have snap overtseer on lift off. But other then that it was a great little handler. Porsche tuned suspension FTW.
Re: My 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT Supercharged
Nice blown tib! It's good to see you took a rather clean approach to modding a car that comes from the factory pretty close to perfect in the looks department. It's pretty rare for me to see any modded Tibs, so thanks for posting the pics.

Re: My 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT Supercharged
Beautiful Pics....
I'm 28 and recently had TVT install my Johnson Pump.
Oh and I helped my Dad change a tire once....
Pretty impressive I know. If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask.
BTW- The car I changed the tire on was a Volvo.

i assume you are on newtiburon.com ?
Re: My 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT Supercharged
I used to be on RDTiburon.com, I ordered clear corners from them 4 years ago and was kind of happy with their service. I heard their service is going down though.
Re: My 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT Supercharged
Im not trying to bash anyone, im just wondering. Why take a slow car and put money and time into it? My friend had an 04 tiburon and the thing was painfully slow stock. But why not take something like a camaro and put the same amount of time and money to get a beast.

Mrphotoman...Love that car! Cant understand why people get worked up over a hyundai being posted in the OTHER CAR thread!? I love the fact that you have the vision and apitude to create something so awsome. The tiburon and crossfire actually are quite simular in that they are both beautiful yet somewhat shortchanged in the HP.
Kudos for a fine job and getting it in magazines too.

Kagen post up photos/videos/achievements of your beast of a crossfire so we can compare. I am sure what you have accomplished with your crossfire is quite impressive.
