I’ve had two Tiburons and I love them with a few exceptions of a few minor issues. Also If you want more power I have the v6 5 speed manual. And it’s supercharged with a spec stage three racing clutch, performance supercharger inter cooler, cold air intake, and dual borla exhaust. They make great race cars with some mods. I love how you can tell it’s an older car by looking at it but it’s still sleek and attractive. I love the all black👍👍👍
Nice! Supercharged too damn you really did the whole deal 😂 what do you think about the difference in SRI and CAI? I was going to put a cold in but I don’t like the hard to reach location plus I think they’re a big loud imo so I was considering the Sri possibly instead. I was looking into the borla too 🤌🏼
I have the same car in Europe, its called a Hyundai Coupe here. Great looking car no doubt! I store mine for the winter months and drive it in the summer. It's getting a few parking dings removed at the minute. They are future classics, worth hanging onto in years to come.
I’m happy to find someone posting new Tiburon content! I love my 07 vivid blue Tiburon SE and I hope to add more mods to it in the future. So far I’ve only bought an alpine stage 2 supercharger, but I’m definitely going to check out the mods you got on yours!
Glad you enjoyed it that’s why I started doing it 🙏🏼 not enough videos out there of them and people need to know that they’re still good cars. And “ONLY bought a supercharger” 😂 man if you found & bought a supercharger for a tib you already won
@@theliltibby That’s true 😂 I got lucky and was able to buy it off a woman who was selling her Tib a couple months ago. Sadly I haven’t gotten a chance to install it yet but hopefully I can post a video of my car in the future!
Dang how much was that supercharger? If I got one for mine it'll be around 15k in my country... and maybe illegal lol. I try not to mod my tibby to much I like to keep it authentic xD
@@ReignRapid I paid around $2000 for the supercharger! It also came with a box full of extra parts that were needed for it to run properly with the v6.
The biggest issue that I have with mine is the wide turn radius trying to get in and out of tight parking requires a lot of readjusting. I agree with your assessment especially the door closing with the window down. Regardless it's a lovely car and yours looks awesome
Appreciate it🙏🏼 finally someone who understands the horrible door close noise lol the turning radius never bothered me too much but when you really need those tight parking spaces that’s when it’ll stick out. But at least while on the road where it counts I think it makes tight turns beautifully
Finally normal review on tiburon!!! I was very worried about dash plastic. And that was the one reason why i thinking to buy Prelude, not Tiburon. Buuuuut I'm re-thinking now. Only Tiby)) It's cheaper, more relaible (Am I wrote correct? Sorry, English the second language), more space in the trunk, more modern and sells better in past (that's means it easier to find parts). Now i really want this car. In our country there's 4 popular coupes for 10 000 dollars. It's Celica mk3, Mitsubishi Eclipse mk3, Hyundai tiburon, Honda Prelude. I mean asian coupes. Silvia - 25000 dollars, Supra - more 45 000 dollars, Skyline GTS coupe r32 33 34 - 35000\45000 dollars and etd.
You probably forgot about it, but hey. told you i'd let ya know. I got one! black '08 5-speed tiburon! its great.... and now begins my dive into the rabbit hole of chasing all the right parts to build it the way i like it 😬
Nice congrats!😄 black imo is like the best colour for them besides red. Yah it’s can be a deep rabbit hole to find what you need. New Tiburon forums is great for info especially performance
Yesterday I've got myself a red one from 2005 with the big supraish eyes. It's the V6, which is extremley rare and just about 66k miles. But here it's called Tuscani instead of Tiburon and it has the T on the front and rear so one might not think it's a Hyundai lol
Tuscani from what I know is more like the tuning line like the N line with Elantra and the i series. Also it must have a body kit with it. Otherwise it like the AMG without being an AMG 😅. Still I wish you a joyful riding! I also want to buy one but something more economical with lpg like the 1.6-1.8
This car reminds me of my old 7th gen Celica. They're both fwd and look like they should be fast rwd cars, but aren't. Still are both nice cars imo and this one looks a lot better.
Thats a sleek looking Hyundai! It's called Hyundai Coupe here in EU. I always liked those but the front end on yours brought it from "2005 called" to something more modern and refined. I like it as much as I like the Genesis Coupe
The cars styling was done by Pininfarina which is why many say it looks like a mini ferrari. The roof header lining is easy to take off if you want to fix the sunroof rattles, it's only held up with stiff hook and loop plastic fasteners like a more solid velcro so no clips to break and once you get the pillar trims off just pulls down. you can then get busy with the felt tape isolating all the rattles. What's that circular thing on the RH of your steering wheel and is it factory? never seen one of those before.
Thanks for the tips that’s good to know, I’ve been wanting to replace my headliner and better secure my sunroof drain hoses but it seemed like it would be such a pain to do. When it comes to the rattles tho it seems like it comes from the actual frame and mechanism of the power sunroof itself then something under the headliner but I could be wrong 🤷🏼♀️ can’t go wrong with taking it off to check tho
@@theliltibby It does come from the frame, there are tiny screws that work loose and the plates start rattling against one another. A bit of sound deadening pad sandwiched in between them does the trick.
@7:40 the back side of handle is a big hollow. JB Weld make metallic / epoxy hard two part epoxy paste, use to fill in the hollow makes it much stronger
I have a silver 2008 Tiburon GT! I love it. That's awesome yours has the rear wiper. When I go to work in the morning, I really wish I had one! XD The mods you have done are beautiful!
I own a 07 gt now have been her care taker about 3 years, I agree with most everything you posted But I put mine on megan lowering springs with new kyb struts the lowering springs being progressive has made it ride pretty close to stock I have a car on coilovers they are much more pronounced in bumps 😅 I want to also say I love how great care you've been giving to your shark.. beautiful ,tastefully slight modifications excellent job a+++++
Interesting, yah I had to make a quick decision on my suspension because my stock was blown and I chose coil overs but I wish I knew more about what was better. I like the BCs but they have their negatives. And thanks appreciate it 🙏🏼😄
Thank you! Nice hope you can find a good one! I have maybe one more vid of the tib but it’s stored until spring 🥲 so it’ll be shorts or videos with my Mazda till then lol
Awesome video, did one similar years ago. One thing is I never realized some 2008 came with rear wipers . As far as I knew they stopped the rear wipers after 2004. But I think that's just a us thing.
Oh I recognize your car you’re in the Tiburon fb groups right? And thanks! Yah I’ve realized there’s a few things that you don’t get included depending on your country. In Canada they all have rear wipers and a sunroof, and we only get black cloth and black leather as interior options. Also heated seats are standard for all GT models
Love your Tib as it looks like the Batmoble. Boosted my Tiburon and solves the problem of it being underpowered. To have its good looks match with performance. Where are you in Canada BTW? I am in Toronto and have a local KDM group.
Great daily for warm areas, but in Canada through winter is a bit tough. They handle fine but the age alone makes them ridged and rattly when ice gets under all the panels and hatch. If winter comfortably is important to you
@@theliltibby Wow! fast response! I live in europe, where the winters arent that harsh luckily. Had a 03 V6 6spd manual for a little while, was impressed by the ride and build quality for the price, but it wasnt too great gas mileage wise haha. currently daily a 98 Mazda MX-3 V6.
Thanks! But I mention they are all like this coilovers or not. The coilovers only made it slightly bouncier but there was no difference in harshness. Tiburons come from factory with stiff suspension
I agree there are some pluses to it, feels more like a race car and you can feel the speed which makes it more fun, but the times you’re just getting around it gets on your nerves 😅
I couldn't really hear the insides of your door rattling when you closed it with the windows down, but maybe you should pull the door card off and take a peek to make sure that no cables, cable ties or window regulator components are flopping in the breeze? That said, the doors on the Tiburon are really good, especially compared to a similarly priced 4 door sedan or even the ND Miata which felt rattly and plasticky when I was at a dealership considering buying one. And yeah, those door handles suck - when I got my '04 GT beater (it's a restoration project), the driver's side door handle was broken clean in two and had been "repaired" with a small strip of metal and some self-tapping screws to hold the pieces together. I tore up my fingers on the ends of those screws first time I tried to get out of the car, which made me immediately buy new handles. Those handles would be great candidates for turning into CAD drawings so that I could order some made out of billet aluminum..
Oh man with the handles I think about this and search online thinking maybe someone started making them in metal all the time 😂 definitely would be a great idea, even just a stronger plastic. And yah I thought about taking the door cards off and adding sound proofing and that maybe the extra stuffing would help with the junky sound but it’s just a pain to do haha
I really love this car. It saves gas and it’s a sports car, trunk space is huge. Have been looking around for one, did you get yours from a private seller or a dealer?
They’re definitely a good package for the price 🙌🏼 I bought mine privately. If you’re buying one make sure they either have major maintenance records or get a pre purchase inspection before you buy. If possible both 😂
@@qwlnskay I think I just lucked out 😬 never seen another as clean for sale since. My advice would be if you can find one that was “lady driven” or described as their baby there’s a better chance they kept records for it and followed maintenance. I file and store every record I have even mods for both my cars
Cool vid! Over here in the UK they don't chime when the door is open though. In fact, I don't think any cars do. Must be a NA thing. And never noticed the cheap door handles, perhaps they are a different material here. I also find my sunroof doesn't rattle, but the sunshade does, unless I push it all the way back. Have you tried tightening the 4 screws that hold in the glass panel? Sick looking tib though ❤
Appreciate it! I had a new sunroof just put on and even that one rattles so I think it’s either something else or just me idk 😂😭 I might try to go in there myself but I can’t imagine that being the problem if it’s been redone and somehow still redone loose
My second thought would be the metal clips that pull the sunshade back when the sunroof slides back. Could be many things though. Btw, there's a company in the UK called fused fabrications who just 3d printed a batch of bumper inserts that make the stock bumper hana like. I think they only do limited runs at the moment but are possibly worth considering to make the bumper look better if you can't find a hana kit.
@@jottyh1676 yah they’re quite annoying to deal with. Unfortunately it’s such a small area with all these little parts there’s only so much you can fiddle with, and it’s only while I’m driving that I can actually hear the rattles. But good to know 👍🏼 as for the inserts-check my latest video 😂
@theliltibby oh wow! Didn't realise you got the inserts. I wanted some but I'll have to wait for the next run. They look slick! Was the fitment okay before you got it wrapped?
@@jottyh1676 yah I jumped in and got one of the second last sets of the batch. I’ve seen the fitment work on others but mine had a bit of issues which might be because we found out I have an aftermarket front bumper so they sit not totally flush but I can sort of fix that with a wrap overlay for now. When you get them definitely don’t slack on sanding them very well. At some point I’ll have to repaint and fix mine a bit but overall they’re great. Mistakes are just my own lol
Thanks!🙏🏼 they are NIAs which you can’t get anymore but there’s copies on eBay, I have them linked in my first video but they’re a bit harder to work with and a thicker material so you may need to Sand down and glue down the front corners
I bought a 2005 Tiburon SE 6 speed and it has Tuscani badges on it I wanna know where these installed or that’s how they came with the car also it’s on the steering wheel as well btw I’m in US bought mine three months ago color is sunburst yellow pretty sweet
If it’s from the US then the previous owner put them on. They only come on the car if it’s being sold in Korea and I believe possibly in Australia. They are oem badges just don’t come on the car from factory anywhere else. Nice I love the yellow ones, rare colour 👌🏼
Could u put the links to where you got aftermarket stuff for your car in the description please... Tomorrow im getting this car and i want to build it but its hard to find items for it :(
It’s all in my first video of the build breakdown. I get everything off eBay, part outs in Facebook groups, Tuscani customs, shark racing and import shark
Yah v6 manual is the best option for these. If you’re learning though just watch out since they can be not user friendly and eventually wear out 3rd and 4th but it you treat it right it should be ok
Thinking on getting a personal car for myself, wife has an SUV. Me ? Well maybe a tiburon 😅 there is just one available where i live 2003 2.7lt V6 - 6 speed for €2.5k. 194,000km. Not sure if is worth it after all these kms haha
2.5k is pretty decent. But after 200k kms a lot starts to fail from wear so there’s a solid chance you’ll be spending more than 2.5k over 4 years or so to keep it running. 03s I’m sure a lot of parts are on their way out from age alone, like rubber and gaskets, sensors. At 200k kms you’ll need a timing belt& water pump so that’s about 900$ right there. I’d make him take it down to 2k just for that alone lol and if you’re serious get a pre purchase inspection
@@theliltibby thank you for the advice! yes we will see, Over 100 people liked the car he posted so fingers cross i get it. Crazy to see how popular a tiburon is in USA in London where i lived you would never see one of these. I remember seeing one not long ago and i was like “cheap version of porsche” but after doin some research crazy how reliable everyone says they are even after 200km and now look at me admiring them 😂. Wife doesnt know i will get it so lets see how she will react 😂 Greetings from Lithuania.
Climate controls are all original nothing was changed there but the radio was replaced with a full touch double din screen. If by acceleration display you mean the gauge hood it comes off pretty easily by screws and pulling it out. That was upholstered in leather
Motor is towards the back between the sunroof and the hatch. You’ll have to loosen the headliner and slide the whole thing forward to get to it. If you look up “removing headliner new Tiburon forums” there will be a step by step guide
I get across your video because I'm thinking about purchasing one (it is a 07 SE, white) Just wondering if anything I need to pay attention to when I buying a used one?
Yah I’ll try to make a video on that sometime soon as well. Definitely get a pre purchase inspection. Check under the car for any rust. Make sure all electrical systems and features work well (lights,heating,ac, windows, sunroof) make sure they have a record of the timing belt being replaced, and if they don’t-get it replaced. Look for any wiring hanging around that would hint to DIY jobs they did themselves if so don’t buy it unless they have proof it was professionally done. Tiburons have sensitive electrical systems so if they did a shotty job it could be causing a lot of problems
Very important make sure the belts have been changed recently...people sell cars with warning lights on like it's fine that's just etc. But it's never just so best to walk away 😂
Check the front subframe for rot, they can be difficult to get good ones used and new ones are expensive as is all the labour in swapping them over, if you get one coat the subframe in some anti corrsion protection and keep it protected.
If you look it up on Google there has been a couple notable Tiburons in rallycross, I think the yellow one with “greatclips” in front and sponsored by mishimoto has won some championships
Hello! I have a question this is the GK, right? Why the head light are small? When I go to auto-data the last coupe that is shown is the GK from 2001 to 2009 without any changes or facelifts
This is an FL2 from 07-08 facelift, GK was only 03-06 with the 05 & 06 also being branded as FL because that’s also a facelift but the parts and interchangeable from 03-06. 07 and 08 facelift have a lot of different shaped parts mostly the headlights and tail lights will not fit any other model. Although with modifications the 08 tail lights can be swapped into a GK, but headlights cant and you’d need to do a whole front end conversion
Also if you’re referring to my headlights as being small I just have eyelid covers over them which makes it look like a different shape but it’s an FL2 headlight
@@theliltibby so from what I’ve found in my country is 2003 FX can find FL or FL2 so I’m not sure when I’m watching aftermarket parts will they fit or not
My Speedo is in kilometres. Top speed is 136 mph or 219 km/h. Speedos also always show slightly higher than the car can usually go, at least for eco cars that is
how are the standard speakers? i'm looking to get a little older model and a 1.6 L instead of a 2.7L V6 or a 2.0L and I never hear anyone mention speakers
I’m not sure about the older models but the 07-08 come with Kenwood and they’re fine for what they are, they don’t sound bad or old. The sound with the oem radio isn’t the nicest but if you upgrade to one with more customizable options of the sound levels, fade, bass, tremble and all that then it greatly improves it imo
My sun roof doesn't rattle I hope yours isn't damaged, I like clunky suspension because they keep me awake haha My door doesn't rattle your window regulator isn't loose ? I love my tiburon but the bumper and such is sad 😂
Sunroof might have some loose parts I’m working on figuring that out and replacing the panel. I’m pretty sure the door is just how it is 😂 nothings wrong with it and it’s both doors just cheaply made. Still love the car though it’s just old so I don’t mind the cheap/clunkiness, it comes with the territory lol
@@theliltibby yeah mine had loose and cracked parts when I got it he said it didn't work.. thr fuse just needed a dust off 😂 yeah I believe the whole car is cheaply made but hyundai always been that way good for cheap spear parts lol
This is the GT with a 2.7L V6 (172hp, 181 torque) the 4cyl is 138hp. Depends on your budget and goals. If you want cheap on gas then get the 4cyl. But the V6 is more fun, better materials & better sound. If you plan to make power the 4cyl is easier to work on yourself and can handle more power if you go with a fully built turbo setup. 4cyl benefits for from a turbo. 6 benefits from a supercharger but both will cost you at least 3k in parts alone if you can find them or find someone who can build a custom turbo. If all that sounds like too much trouble-just get a V6 😅
@@theliltibby im picking up a GT this week its a project, where is the best place on google to look for mods for the tibi? Like I want to do basic motor mods to start. In addition I want to do a nice sounding exhaust and coils. Just struggling to find performance parts and cosmetics. I also want the little headlight covers haha
I don’t know much about the euro tax is that one time cost or yearly? If it’s one time I would do it, If it’s reoccurring maybe not depending how your budget is. I think the v6 is much more fun than the 2.0 but it’s also a more complicated and costly engine & more expensive on gas on top of that tax so it comes to preference and compromise really. A manual 2.0 is still a lot of fun
@@theliltibby thx for responding so fast, is a tax you pay every year sadly, idk where are you from but here in romania taxes on engines go up exponetialy (for a 1.2-2 l L engin the tax is 10-20 eur a year, for a 2.6-2.7 is 560), now let s just see if i can find a tiburon with the v6 in good shape somewhere in my country :))
@@theliltibby I live in Turkey. Car prices are very high here. I am currently using Mazda 3 Sedan 1.6. Modification does not suit Mazda 3. Hyundai coupe 2008 1.6 I'm thinking of buying maybe i will install a turbo or throw a software i don't know if hyundai engines are good what is your advice
@@ZampateTR are you talking about the 4cyl Tiburon? They can handle a turbo but it would need to be a custom set up which I would check if you can hire someone to do before buying the car because most won’t. As for tuning It’s also difficult to find. There’s someone in the fb groups that does ECU reflashing but thats all I know. In Canada shops won’t touch it and I just gave up on performance other than bolt ons

In Canada they all have rear wipers and a sunroof, and we only get black cloth and black leather as interior options. Also heated seats are standard for all GT models
Legendary old sports car
Great Review 💪😎🤟🔥
Tuscani is My Dream Car 🥺❤️
Appreciate it! Mine too 🙌🏼
Love your Tib as it looks like the Batmoble. Boosted my Tiburon and solves the problem of it being underpowered. To have its good looks match with performance. Where are you in Canada BTW? I am in Toronto and have a local KDM group.
Nice!🙌🏼 sounds like a beast I’m in the GTA area as well
going to look at one tomorrow, might make a solid daily driver
Great daily for warm areas, but in Canada through winter is a bit tough. They handle fine but the age alone makes them ridged and rattly when ice gets under all the panels and hatch. If winter comfortably is important to you
@@theliltibby Wow! fast response! I live in europe, where the winters arent that harsh luckily. Had a 03 V6 6spd manual for a little while, was impressed by the ride and build quality for the price, but it wasnt too great gas mileage wise haha. currently daily a 98 Mazda MX-3 V6.
@@theliltibby Ill let you know if i end up buying the car 👍
I dont think you should be saying anything about Hyundais ride quality if you have coilovers. Overall great video🥰
Thanks! But I mention they are all like this coilovers or not. The coilovers only made it slightly bouncier but there was no difference in harshness. Tiburons come from factory with stiff suspension
@@theliltibby well if I would go back to the stock suspension it would feel like boat🙈😂
@@viljamilindholm9038 not I’m my experience 😂
@@theliltibby you need to lower it more and you will understand me🙈
@@viljamilindholm9038 no thanks 😂 I’m lowered an inch but idk if I’ll go lower because I spent so much effort on the custom lip to put it at risk
I like the Tiburon. It looks like a really good car
Better than Veloster
Looks great, I have an 08 SE 6spd that I absolutely love.
Nice! Red interior? Good to see people still into them
My mum really isn't a fan of the ride, but I sometimes like the bumpiness because you feel everything lol
I agree there are some pluses to it, feels more like a race car and you can feel the speed which makes it more fun, but the times you’re just getting around it gets on your nerves 😅
Awesome vid, Hope to run into you in the left lane sometime soon 😈🔥
Very Tempted to get one of these such good value for money as well 😄
Definitely
I couldn't really hear the insides of your door rattling when you closed it with the windows down, but maybe you should pull the door card off and take a peek to make sure that no cables, cable ties or window regulator components are flopping in the breeze? That said, the doors on the Tiburon are really good, especially compared to a similarly priced 4 door sedan or even the ND Miata which felt rattly and plasticky when I was at a dealership considering buying one.
And yeah, those door handles suck - when I got my '04 GT beater (it's a restoration project), the driver's side door handle was broken clean in two and had been "repaired" with a small strip of metal and some self-tapping screws to hold the pieces together. I tore up my fingers on the ends of those screws first time I tried to get out of the car, which made me immediately buy new handles.
Those handles would be great candidates for turning into CAD drawings so that I could order some made out of billet aluminum..
Oh man with the handles I think about this and search online thinking maybe someone started making them in metal all the time 😂 definitely would be a great idea, even just a stronger plastic. And yah I thought about taking the door cards off and adding sound proofing and that maybe the extra stuffing would help with the junky sound but it’s just a pain to do haha
I really love this car. It saves gas and it’s a sports car, trunk space is huge. Have been looking around for one, did you get yours from a private seller or a dealer?
They’re definitely a good package for the price 🙌🏼 I bought mine privately. If you’re buying one make sure they either have major maintenance records or get a pre purchase inspection before you buy. If possible both 😂
@@theliltibbyhow much did you pay for yours?
@@JEREMYMAGICTV mine was $7k CAD ($5k USD) for 70k miles with no rust clean title and all records kept
@@theliltibby how did you find such a good deal? do i gotta move to canada?
@@qwlnskay I think I just lucked out 😬 never seen another as clean for sale since. My advice would be if you can find one that was “lady driven” or described as their baby there’s a better chance they kept records for it and followed maintenance. I file and store every record I have even mods for both my cars
Now I miss my tiby haha lost the struts racing 😂
Cool vid! Over here in the UK they don't chime when the door is open though. In fact, I don't think any cars do. Must be a NA thing. And never noticed the cheap door handles, perhaps they are a different material here. I also find my sunroof doesn't rattle, but the sunshade does, unless I push it all the way back. Have you tried tightening the 4 screws that hold in the glass panel?
Sick looking tib though ❤
Appreciate it! I had a new sunroof just put on and even that one rattles so I think it’s either something else or just me idk 😂😭 I might try to go in there myself but I can’t imagine that being the problem if it’s been redone and somehow still redone loose
My second thought would be the metal clips that pull the sunshade back when the sunroof slides back. Could be many things though.
Btw, there's a company in the UK called fused fabrications who just 3d printed a batch of bumper inserts that make the stock bumper hana like. I think they only do limited runs at the moment but are possibly worth considering to make the bumper look better if you can't find a hana kit.
@@jottyh1676 yah they’re quite annoying to deal with. Unfortunately it’s such a small area with all these little parts there’s only so much you can fiddle with, and it’s only while I’m driving that I can actually hear the rattles. But good to know 👍🏼 as for the inserts-check my latest video 😂
@theliltibby oh wow! Didn't realise you got the inserts. I wanted some but I'll have to wait for the next run. They look slick! Was the fitment okay before you got it wrapped?
@@jottyh1676 yah I jumped in and got one of the second last sets of the batch. I’ve seen the fitment work on others but mine had a bit of issues which might be because we found out I have an aftermarket front bumper so they sit not totally flush but I can sort of fix that with a wrap overlay for now. When you get them definitely don’t slack on sanding them very well. At some point I’ll have to repaint and fix mine a bit but overall they’re great. Mistakes are just my own lol
I LIKE YOUR CAR❤ Please where I can find the head light black covers you have ?
Thanks!🙏🏼 they are NIAs which you can’t get anymore but there’s copies on eBay, I have them linked in my first video but they’re a bit harder to work with and a thicker material so you may need to Sand down and glue down the front corners
Thanks
it looks awesome!
Your car is best looking tib i have seen 😁, those eyelids make headlights look angry 😎, do you know do they make those in red color?
Thanks! There’s links to where you can buy them on my other video, but you’ll need to paint them yourself/ get them painted
It's rare to hear a merican appreciate asian tech. I love my kia soul.
Sweet ride, very clean! 👍
Look forward to get an ecu tune
I bought a 2005 Tiburon SE 6 speed and it has Tuscani badges on it I wanna know where these installed or that’s how they came with the car also it’s on the steering wheel as well btw I’m in US bought mine three months ago color is sunburst yellow pretty sweet
If it’s from the US then the previous owner put them on. They only come on the car if it’s being sold in Korea and I believe possibly in Australia. They are oem badges just don’t come on the car from factory anywhere else. Nice I love the yellow ones, rare colour 👌🏼
Chevy took notes when making the Chevy c8 lol
Could u put the links to where you got aftermarket stuff for your car in the description please... Tomorrow im getting this car and i want to build it but its hard to find items for it :(
It’s all in my first video of the build breakdown. I get everything off eBay, part outs in Facebook groups, Tuscani customs, shark racing and import shark
What do you think about the standard version? Gt V6, I'm about to buy one
Yah v6 manual is the best option for these. If you’re learning though just watch out since they can be not user friendly and eventually wear out 3rd and 4th but it you treat it right it should be ok
Nice car! Who makes the body kit/ground effects?
They’re all off different cars, if you watch my first video I link and talk about them all
It is the most popular car we have seen in the NFS Underground game we are very familiar with
Lovely video! Thank you.
Thinking on getting a personal car for myself, wife has an SUV.
Me ? Well maybe a tiburon 😅 there is just one available where i live 2003 2.7lt V6 - 6 speed for €2.5k. 194,000km. Not sure if is worth it after all these kms haha
2.5k is pretty decent. But after 200k kms a lot starts to fail from wear so there’s a solid chance you’ll be spending more than 2.5k over 4 years or so to keep it running. 03s I’m sure a lot of parts are on their way out from age alone, like rubber and gaskets, sensors. At 200k kms you’ll need a timing belt& water pump so that’s about 900$ right there. I’d make him take it down to 2k just for that alone lol and if you’re serious get a pre purchase inspection
@@theliltibby thank you for the advice! yes we will see, Over 100 people liked the car he posted so fingers cross i get it. Crazy to see how popular a tiburon is in USA in London where i lived you would never see one of these. I remember seeing one not long ago and i was like “cheap version of porsche” but after doin some research crazy how reliable everyone says they are even after 200km and now look at me admiring them 😂. Wife doesnt know i will get it so lets see how she will react 😂
Greetings from Lithuania.
I have a question , where or how did you changed the inside of the car example : the acceleration display , the screen and the air conditioner parts ?
Climate controls are all original nothing was changed there but the radio was replaced with a full touch double din screen. If by acceleration display you mean the gauge hood it comes off pretty easily by screws and pulling it out. That was upholstered in leather
Trying to fix the sunroof on my son's car. Where is the sunroof motor located? I took off the sunroof control panel but no motor.
Motor is towards the back between the sunroof and the hatch. You’ll have to loosen the headliner and slide the whole thing forward to get to it. If you look up “removing headliner new Tiburon forums” there will be a step by step guide
@@theliltibby I was able to hold slide & tilt to reprogram it but now I have to hold slide & tilt to open & close it but at least now it's working lol
@@CenTexCollector lol I had no idea you could reprogram the buttons 😂
This car is fire
Thank you 🤙🏼
I followed you
Please make a video every day
I love your car 😍
I want to buy a hyundai coupe🤩
Thank you! 🙏🏼will do 😂
Would you say theres enough space for people who'd ride behind?
I get across your video because I'm thinking about purchasing one (it is a 07 SE, white)
Just wondering if anything I need to pay attention to when I buying a used one?
Yah I’ll try to make a video on that sometime soon as well. Definitely get a pre purchase inspection. Check under the car for any rust. Make sure all electrical systems and features work well (lights,heating,ac, windows, sunroof) make sure they have a record of the timing belt being replaced, and if they don’t-get it replaced. Look for any wiring hanging around that would hint to DIY jobs they did themselves if so don’t buy it unless they have proof it was professionally done. Tiburons have sensitive electrical systems so if they did a shotty job it could be causing a lot of problems
@@theliltibby thank you :)
Very important make sure the belts have been changed recently...people sell cars with warning lights on like it's fine that's just etc. But it's never just so best to walk away 😂
Check the front subframe for rot, they can be difficult to get good ones used and new ones are expensive as is all the labour in swapping them over, if you get one coat the subframe in some anti corrsion protection and keep it protected.
I own one lol I got a 2007 model . Bought it not too long ago with only 50k miles for 4K
Nice solid find 👍🏼
Love this car
Looks like a fun car. I'm looking for something a bit unusual to turn into a rallycross car and this looks like a contender.
If you look it up on Google there has been a couple notable Tiburons in rallycross, I think the yellow one with “greatclips” in front and sponsored by mishimoto has won some championships
@@theliltibby But in 2011 it was replaced by a strange van-like 3-door car
Hello! I have a question this is the GK, right? Why the head light are small? When I go to auto-data the last coupe that is shown is the GK from 2001 to 2009 without any changes or facelifts
This is an FL2 from 07-08 facelift, GK was only 03-06 with the 05 & 06 also being branded as FL because that’s also a facelift but the parts and interchangeable from 03-06. 07 and 08 facelift have a lot of different shaped parts mostly the headlights and tail lights will not fit any other model. Although with modifications the 08 tail lights can be swapped into a GK, but headlights cant and you’d need to do a whole front end conversion
Also if you’re referring to my headlights as being small I just have eyelid covers over them which makes it look like a different shape but it’s an FL2 headlight
@@theliltibby thank you for the answers
@@theliltibby it’s strange tho that I don’t see the Fl or Fl2 as a variant in auto-data
@@theliltibby so from what I’ve found in my country is 2003 FX can find FL or FL2 so I’m not sure when I’m watching aftermarket parts will they fit or not
Did you change the steering wheel
Yea it’s a modified oem wheel, I link where I got it in my build breakdown video
Do they have any halo headlights for the Tiburon?
Sharkracing did but they’re discontinued for now. You can still DIY them though buying rings separately
Hi maam i jus would like to know how does this car go 260 mph when i thought the top speed was 160
My Speedo is in kilometres. Top speed is 136 mph or 219 km/h. Speedos also always show slightly higher than the car can usually go, at least for eco cars that is
how are the standard speakers? i'm looking to get a little older model and a 1.6 L instead of a 2.7L V6 or a 2.0L and I never hear anyone mention speakers
I’m not sure about the older models but the 07-08 come with Kenwood and they’re fine for what they are, they don’t sound bad or old. The sound with the oem radio isn’t the nicest but if you upgrade to one with more customizable options of the sound levels, fade, bass, tremble and all that then it greatly improves it imo

Wheel spacers or wheels with offset would finish this car off right

In Europe its the Hyundai Coupe
My sun roof doesn't rattle I hope yours isn't damaged, I like clunky suspension because they keep me awake haha
My door doesn't rattle your window regulator isn't loose ? I love my tiburon but the bumper and such is sad 😂
Sunroof might have some loose parts I’m working on figuring that out and replacing the panel. I’m pretty sure the door is just how it is 😂 nothings wrong with it and it’s both doors just cheaply made. Still love the car though it’s just old so I don’t mind the cheap/clunkiness, it comes with the territory lol
@@theliltibby yeah mine had loose and cracked parts when I got it he said it didn't work.. thr fuse just needed a dust off 😂 yeah I believe the whole car is cheaply made but hyundai always been that way good for cheap spear parts lol
How do you change the steering wheel logo?
I believe I link them in my first video of the overview. I got them on Tuscanicustoms
This is the facelift right?
Yes final facelift 07-08
You gained a sub! Me 😁😁 Nice build
Thank you! 😄
Do you have the gt varient or other? Im looking to buy one and not sure what model to get
This is the GT with a 2.7L V6 (172hp, 181 torque) the 4cyl is 138hp. Depends on your budget and goals. If you want cheap on gas then get the 4cyl. But the V6 is more fun, better materials & better sound. If you plan to make power the 4cyl is easier to work on yourself and can handle more power if you go with a fully built turbo setup. 4cyl benefits for from a turbo. 6 benefits from a supercharger but both will cost you at least 3k in parts alone if you can find them or find someone who can build a custom turbo. If all that sounds like too much trouble-just get a V6 😅

PLS HELP: is the 2.7l worth it instead of the 2.0? (560 euro tax anual istead of 50)?
I don’t know much about the euro tax is that one time cost or yearly? If it’s one time I would do it, If it’s reoccurring maybe not depending how your budget is. I think the v6 is much more fun than the 2.0 but it’s also a more complicated and costly engine & more expensive on gas on top of that tax so it comes to preference and compromise really. A manual 2.0 is still a lot of fun
@@theliltibby thx for responding so fast, is a tax you pay every year sadly, idk where are you from but here in romania taxes on engines go up exponetialy (for a 1.2-2 l L engin the tax is 10-20 eur a year, for a 2.6-2.7 is 560), now let s just see if i can find a tiburon with the v6 in good shape somewhere in my country :))
