Here is one of my current cars, not your typical tuner car. It started out as a 170hp Tiburon GT and ended up a 360hp supercharged car. Stock internals, all parts installed by me (supercharger, fuel tuner, custom pulleys, custom intercooling parts designed by me (front mount heat exchanger, icebox etc). The best time ran at 8psi was 13.24@104.5, I never had time to get back to the track after boost was increased to 11psi and alcohol injection, it would easily be in the 12's now.

The car has been in a few magazines, won 1st and 2nd place at the triple crown tuner speed challenge.

The newer pics on top, hope you like them.

I have designed many of the parts for the car, performed all the work myself including the tuning and the car has ran flawlessly for the 4.5 years I have raced/owned it. Proof that a good tune and maintinence will allow you to push a car to its limits.

 

That's a Hyundai. Right?

 

Yes it is just like it says in the title, is there something wrong with that? You drive a chrysler right?

 

Right. Do you drive a Crossfire? I just thought you were lost and was willing to give directions.

 

Nope, just thought I would come here and try to entertain insecure people like yourself that think they know about cars.

 

Nice Hyundai.

 

I should have known with the MINIMAL amount of car knowledge you OLD men have you would feel the need to attack my car. Why don't you OLD guys post up what you have accomplished with YOUR cars and what performance parts YOU have designed for YOUR cars?

BTW, I AM in the process of purchasing a SRT6 but unlike you two IMMATURE OLD men I have respect for other cars and do not think "my stock car" is some sort of impressive machine. It is quite funny that my "little hyundai" is faster than your incredible stock crossfire. Oh well, what can you expect from two internet tough guys that are nearly senior citizens but have the intellect of 12 year olds.


I guess I mistook this for a more mature website that might appreciate what I have done to my car but evidentially I was mistaken.

 

YEP!! Here it goes!!! Makes for some good reading!!

 

Not at my expense. I'm outa' here.
By the way, sonny. You've done some fine work there.

 

just so u no alot of the people on this forum are quite young. i am 18 and probably the youngest on the forum. i will say u have a very nice car with alot of work put into it but this was probably the wrong place to post it. but again it is a nice car and i am not tryin to start anything. nice wrench time though.

 

I'm 22. and here,

400whp Dodge Spirit R/T...

All built on a two post lift in a 60 x 90 polebarn behind my dad's house by ME, with my time, my money, my research, my connections, and my tastes. The turbo is custom, the exhaust is custom, the entire intake tract is custom, everything from the vacuum line routing path to the wheel alignment was "designed" and "performed" by me.


Although it's never been printed in a magazine, so I guess I don't know **** about cars.

 

Are you going to keep the Tiburon and get the SRT6?
Looks like you've done LOTS of work to it.

 

Dude, you jumped down his throat and he didn't even say anything offensive. One asked if that was a Hyundai, the other said nice ride. Unless you recieved some crazy PM's from these people you have read to much into their posts, or you're just looking for a fight.

All I can say, Nice ride, but lose the attitude.

 

Read again, opticon changed my post in his to say this:

" Just thought this would make one more great place to whoreout my ebay bolt-on korean econo-scooter and annoy people who have better taste or more sense than to funnel mad cash into cars designed to haul girls to lacrosse practice "

That looks like a attack to me. I for one would worry about the mental health of someone in their 40's acting like a child.

Regardless, thanks to those that posted props . I have a lot of respect for sleepers and for anyone that does their own work. Anyone can pay SOMEONE ELSE to make their car fast or to buy a fast car but to do it yourself is what it is all about. I have a good bit of knowledge when it comes to tuning forced induction cars and with making custom performance parts that I hope to contribute on this site.

Why people are so insecure and feel the need to bash others cars is beyond me. I would assume they have some serious issues they need to work through.
