-.-it's a car.
not particularly proud of myself for lettin a dealership convince my parents into buying a tiburon...
but anyways, i'll give ya 2 shot of it i took while i was outside of my tennis club. still has dealer plates and haven't gotten to getting my lisence plates: front: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/CIMG0323.jpg rear: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/CIMG0324.jpg ok i admit that the rear looks good...but it's still going to be a while until the tib grows on me. overview: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/CIMG0322.jpg if you don't believe it's my car, then you're EXACTLY RIGHT. The title is under my parents. once i graduate, they tell me they'll transfer the title to me, and it'll be mine then. |
Nice ride! What year is it?
|
08.
it'd **** hard to find parts and mods that fit it... can't find any tubro kits that fit, not a complete supercharger kit. it's hard to find exhausts that fit, and intakes available that fit are only short-ram, v6 CAI (on the 4 cyl), and like, only one really expensive cai made for the 08 4cyl. the exhausts that i've found that fit all look too ricer-ish and the mufflers all look restrictive. I hear that a NA tibby should run 2.5 in. exhaust and a FI tibby should run 3 in. exhaust, and the only semi-desireably exhaust i can find is by ARK racing and looks to have 1.75 in. tubing |
I typically don't like Hyndai color palate, but that black looks darn good! Cool car. :cool:
Cheers, Kyle. |
nice car. my cousin had an older model with it, is it an auto a manual? and the black looks real nice, dont worry too much about the upgrades and stuff yet tho, wait like a year or so for that, then you will have the money to buy every thing you need at once instead of just going like one at a time and at times have a half finished car.and plus if you wait more stuff will be out too. just save up for the better stuff.
|
hey man, be lucky ur parents bought you a car, period. i had to buy my own and i pay insurance and all costs for it since i bi=ought it.
|
my parents bought me my first car(my audi) i have to pay for every thing else. its not that bad. and im still admiring your car, ive always liked tiburons, they arnt that bad of a car. kinda fast too.
|
Haven't i specifically said, it's not MY car, it's my Parents' car.
i personally like the styling, but the drivetrain...it gives me shivers. 4spd auto-fwd. my friend got his rsx type s for 10k with a SRI, aftermarket wheels, and lowered. his is a 5-speed, and totally smokes this one every time |
i have a 06 go to www.newtiburon.com they have tons of parts for it.first thing i would do is Injen midie air intake it makes the car sound mean and run better and a Apexi N1 exhaust. Then some HID's for the lights

yea they arnt that fast stock, but with a few mods itll get up to yrou friends rsx, those rsxs are underestimated alot. still really nice car.
|
ok, i've got an auto, putting in the ballpark of 110 whp down
he's got a manual rsx, putting around 190 whp with extensive spending on an NA setup, i'll still only get around 160whp and with a turbo or supercharger, possibly match or go a bit higher than his whp to somewhere around 220whp. that's what i figure. but then i've got a 4-spd auto: slow shifts, lower topspeed vs 5-spd manual: faster shifts, higher topspeed. only thing i got going for me is less wheelspin during launch. when he finally gets pics up of his type-s, i'll post them here. bronze painted wheels, lowered, SRI intake, tinted, white rsx. i think it just blows me outta the water. so while he is at 10k for his rsx in total cost so far, i've already spent an extra 3k buying a new tiburon. no mods on it even, so eh...his just seems so much more cost effective. i might think of getting one of the CAIs for the 03-05 v6 tibs and fittin that on this thing. and i go to newtiburon.com a lot. just not registered yet. |
I have a V6 tib. i keep up with the Civic SI's Learn how to use the shift mod and u will feel some power from the car.Theres 4cy tibs with 300 hp out there but it's alot of money to get there you should of went with the V6.Hyundai is giving away the tib's now because of the Genesis coupe
Quote:
|
there weren't any v6 tibs FS, and the dealer i went to was practically giving them away about 2k or more under any other dealer i went to.
i also needed to take into account the mpg and stuff, so thus, the 4cyl. oh, and i registered on newtiburon. my sn is RetfirDMX can you give me a link to that shift mod? i might have to look into it because mine's an 08 and i'm not exactly sure that the older tib tricks work but it takes a v6 tib to keep up with a I4 civic si...now compare I4 tib vs I4 Si |
It's proven that a built automatic has faster more consistent shifts over a manual anyday. Don't know how slushy the autos in the new ones are though.
|
i can tell you, it's hecka slushy in there.
|
Takes some Genisis styling I see. Is this the last year for the Tib? They've always been pretty good looking cars, just not too quick.
Quote:
|
yeah, it's the last year of the tib. after this there's going to be no more tibs.
in road racing, manual always wins over slushboxes. hmmm... been reading up on the tibs, and i've read that 04-08 are virtually the same except for the exterior |
Quote:
Manuals are tons more fun anyway. |
theres no mod it's learning how to use it the right way.When i had my celica gts with it I use to take my foot off the gas then shift thats the wrong way plus you have to learn when to shift at the right time Im still learning.With all the years the 08 is mostly a different front bumper with head lights and rear bumper.You can make the tib a fast little car i just like the V6 cause it's the Delta and it takes well to bolt ons.Good luck with the car and welcome to the TIB family newtiburon is a great forum alot of good guys on there im bosco72

well, i've heard and read while browsing around that the beta II has more potential. maybe because it take up less space and is lighter, meanin more room for modifications and stuff. i really don't know myself, but it seems like there'd enough room for a twin turbo setup in the 4cyl tib
|
ok massive necro-bump
new stuff done to tib after about a month: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...CIMG1546-2.jpg now: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...CIMG1710-1.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...CIMG1711-1.jpg real cf overlaid on my custom airbrushed tuscani-T badges :P http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/CIMG1712.jpg i'll be updating as i continue working on it. i have a oem high wing in the works for it too |
Its still an awesome car, room for aftermarkets or not. If you lower it, it'll look mean as hell. Talk to me on aim later :D
|
I still have my 06 im going to drop ot about a inch and put a front lip on it.
|
fun bosco.
i hope i get the opportunity to lower mine soon |
Remember, its not about how fast or expensive it is compared to your friends, it's the learning process along the way that you develop when spending time with the car. Good luck with the car, and remember to put some cash aside for school :P
|
i got mooney saved for school no problemo
|
lol if you dont like it, id be glad to trade the 98 mountaineer ;)

kids get a first car and start throwing crap on it to make it "cool" instead of driving it as is (spending money only to keep it running)while saving for something that already is cool. a tib is a decent car but it isn' worth sinking a bunch of money into it. there's a reason that there's jack squat for aftermarket. @XMD,you've been given a **** fine first auto. cherish that fact but don't forget that it is what it is. if you want fast then work hard and save up for fast. if you want cool then work hard and save up for cool. there's been a bit of talk about turd polishing and none of it's correct... "you can polish a turd but in the end it's still a turd" not calling the tib a turd...lol... but there's no reason to dump a ton of money into it. my suggestion would be to drive the hell out of it and save for school like ping pong( or as they say in chinese,"ping pong") said, get a job and save for what you REALLY want. |
ok, got pics of interior. painted accents white several months ago...just now even took pictures of it. though now considering going for black/red
http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/CIMG1713.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/CIMG1714.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/CIMG1715.jpg and i haven't spent much money into this. after having the car for 2 years, i'm actually very appreciative of the car, and have been taking care of the car the best i can |
Quote:
i wasn't trying to come down on you or anything,only offering a suggestion and making a point. i do like the white accents though.....nice touch. |
Quote:
i was thinkin' white because a lot of the red or blue accents i saw seemed too blaring and gaudy. though i am now thinking of laying down some cheap black paint then doing a partial CF wrap with gloss black and thin red pinstripes for everything else |
I like the white interior if your gonna keep it that way you should buy white rims for it so it can match the interior it would look nice.
|
i've actually been thinking of getting bronze colored wheels
|
Honestly, I think you should keep it white. Looks super clean.
|
i'll still want to rework the white, cuz it's not perfectly smooth right now. i do want to give DIY CF wrapping a try too though...
|
got my OEM high wing installed at last:

That wing looks pretty clean :)
