I still wish I had my 05 Tiburon GT as a daily. It would be a beast by now. Oh yeah for those that didn't know I had a tiburon... oh and I have a 07 tiburon right now also.



dope tib I saw on WFC.

old Gen, new Gen

The Tiburon has been one of those cool, affordable cars available from 03 to 09 in the GK platform to the states. I've owned a 05 GT and currently a 07 GS for daily drivers. I came back to the Tiburon once again because I really missed the 05 I had. It was one of the smoothest, funnest, easiest, most realiable cars I've owned. You could really just drive it. It was easy to drive quick too. I never did more than a few mods to it, and I wish I had gone all the way with it to be honest. I do have more plans for the 07 I currently have, but I guess we'll see which of my fleet takes the money first.

This is currently my favorite Tiburon around. He didn't need to do anything super flash, or have the most ballin wheels out there. He worked more on the right stance and fitment. I love his current setup, but his next one will be even crazier. I believe he has some WORK meisters and custom flares on the drawing board for this year. I'm excited to see the outcome!




In came the new boy. This isn't exaclty considered the Tiburon replacement because they have plans to bring the new body Tiburon out again in a couple of years. I guess they wanted to give the Genesis a proper chance at the affordable coupe market without having the Tiburon sitting on the same lot at a much cheaper price.

The Gencoupe has been making big waves in the states and around the world frankly. Seoulfulracing's owner from Seoul, Korea moved to the states last year and opened up a 2nd division of his online race shop. He was known for his extremely clean, turbo'd 2.0 Tuscani (tiburon) that made 400whp I believe. He bought a new Genesis coupe when he landed in the USA and this is the outcome. My favorite Genesis stateside currently.

bday wishes

I just got back from Vegas the other day for New Years and yesterday was my Birthday. I've been super busy having a great kick off to the new year. I appreciate the homies that came through to chill at the crib the yesterday, and Tre for swinging through on his way in from Riverside a couple days ago. Thanks to everyone for the Bday wishes also! I'm about to head out in a bit to hang out with my brother I only get to see every couple of months. Once again thanks everyone for a good Birthday!


I always have to post a pic to keep things going. So here's a GT30r power 2.0 liter Tuscani (tiburon) from Korea. I forget the power numbers exactly, but it was impressive. These motors make awesome power like 4g63's (similar in some ways in design also), but Tiburons make the same HP numbers on less boost. Check out the wheel fitment also. It's pretty common in Korea to have nicely fitted wheels. In alot of ways their tuning scene reflects that of Japan's.

I'm back!!!

I made it back last night from my Holiday trip to the bay area. It was a fun time. I got some good gifts and ate good also. I had some extra time so I put new brakes on the Tiburon while I was up there. Now that I'm back I can start working on the project integra. I put the steering wheel and hub on first thing this morning.


I was able to do some bodywork also before I left for the bay. This is some of the sanding I've been doing. The paint is oxidized completely through the clearcoast on the top half of the car. So I've been smoothing out the clearcoat.
