I just bought my 2005 GT and one of the things that I worry about is that the clutch feels kind of weak.
Does anyone know the life of a new Hyundai clutch or am I just having the new car worries?

Hello,

I'm a new user to this site, the reason I'm here is because I'm looking at buying a 2003 Tiburon GT. So I figured this might be a good spot to start with a few simple questions.

I keep hearing from friends and relatives that Tiburons = Junk!? I'm not sure where they're getting their information from, but most of them are just big GM and Ford supporters. The thing about Tiburons, they seem extremely rare around here, I don't know a single person who has one, although I see a few going from time to time.

So, anything I need to know about them before I make a decision?

Thanks

Just got a coldair intake, and the sound is awesome.
But, the fuel consumption seems to be very high.
I calculated the mpg today, and it's about 27 mpg.
I thought the car would get about 35 mpg, and a coldair intake is supposed to help, isn't it?
Or am I way off here?

It is winter here, pretty cold, lots of snow and ice on the roads, not unusual to get stuck in a parking lot (= lots of wheel spin) etc...

I re-mounted the original intake today, to see if the difference is as big as I think it is, or am I in for a surprice here?

What mpg should I be getting? And will a CAI make it burn more or less fuel?

And thanks for your time guys, been driving for a while, but I'm new here and new to modifying cars...

this **** took me all day yesterday (i did some stupid **** that held me up) ... my hands are full of cuts and my legs are sore as ****..but it was worth it!!

Eibach Sportlines and Pro-Dampers ... and no..im not rubbing ....

I am looking at an 06 SE, but have seen discussions elsewhere about clutch problems with earlier model year Tibs. Have they worked out the problems with the 06's? I really like the SE 6 spd in Orange Crush, but if there are still clutch issues, I think I'll pass and go for a GT/GT Limited with 4 spd auto.

TIA for any input!

I've recently added an AEM Cold Air Intake to my '03 Tib 2.7 V6 GT and I really like the improved sound and performance. I've got a Borla CatBack on order, and I'm lookin to buy headers, but they seem so expensive ($800+). Could someone please suggest a good set of headers for my car at a decent price and do they even add enough performance to make the price worthwhile? I'd prefer to order online and from the US if possible, since shipping will be lowest.

And while I'm at it, what is next after Catback, CAI, and Headers? After that, I'm confused as to how to increase performance without turbocharging.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, everyone i have a 2006 v6 tiburon SE. I would really like some help finding a HIGH QUALITY cold air intake system.
Please?

I'm looking at buying a 2002/2003/2004 Tiburon and I was wondering what has all changed body/mechanical wise over those years? And in those years, whats the difference between the regular ones and the GT, SE, and Tuscany? Thanks.

I need help changing my brake pads on my 03 V6 Tiburon. Any suggestions on where I can get the info?

Does anyone have any soundclips of stock or modified tiburons (preferebly 6 cylinder) 2003 and above? Thanks.

Hi all im new to the forums and also a new Tiburon owner. For a whole 2 days lol. loving it. But i made a huge mistake during purchase. I did not chek if the car has A/C. I just realized this now. I love evrything about the car, it is in excellent condition and wouldnt want to trade it for anything. I was just wondering if its posible to install an A/C unit in the car from/thorugh Hyundai or even not. wich ever easiest. Also if it is posible, how much money am i lookin on spending. Any responses are welcome.

Thanx in advance aleks.

Hi. I just got a brand new tiburon 06 and have a question about the sub. I saw on the internet that u can swap the black and green wiring (up and down) and get better bass. So i did it, and it sounds exactly the same....what it up!! Does anybody no what can be wrong?

Ok....I dunno what the deal is with my interior lights...Of course I got the 03' tibby....its on my profile. Well my little button that I press on my dash to turn on the fog lights..is out..the little green light wont come on. Also my little shiftronic lights..the plus and negative are out along with my passenger door light..that little red light on the bottom of the door that comes on when you open the door is out. I checked my fuses and they are'nt blown. I took my radio faceplate out and made sure nothing was loose and it was fine! Whats goin on??????

HI,
I just bought a 2003 Tiburon. Does anyone know if there is an auto lock feature on this vehicle like the 2006 sonata? I mean the type where the dealer can enable auto lock as the car passes 15mph? John

Hi. I recently replaced the stock infinity sub with a different one, and want to sell it. The problem is that i don't know the value of the sub. anyone know?

getting tib in about a week cant find any info of speaker sizes. Also does anyone have info about neon while moving in arizona

Hi. I recently got a AEM cold air intake installed in my 06 automatic tiburon, and it definatley increased the torque and power. But the car doesn't sound any different, why? i thought it would be louder or something, but the car sounds exactly the same.

P.S
Kobe is a baller, 81 is da magic number.

Hi!

I wanted to see if anyone has this problem, as the dealer says this is normal. My cruise control controls my CD player. So if I turn my CC on my CD player turns off. I think my dealer is full of it, because this configuration makes NO SENCE at all.
I just wanted to see if I'm wrong about this. If anyone has an answer I would be very greatful!

Thank you

I have a Tiburon GT 2006 and have the upgraded infinity sound system with sub. I am having a problem finding the amp. Does anyone know where it is? Could they have changed the location in the new 06 model? A guy from Hyundai said that it should be under the front passenger seat, but I can't find it.

i'm looking at an 06 Tiburon for my girlfriend, and depending on certain aspects, maybe myself also.

the aftermarket, is it bigger for the 2.0, or 2.7?

how big is the aftermarket for the Tiburon in general?

any help is appreciated.

Anyone know the rim width and offset on the oem 17" tib rims???????

Hey guys, its been a while since i have posted here, but i have a new question for ya.

I bought the tuscani emblems and i have to say it looks great, but what exactly is tuscani.

I heard it is nickname Koreans gave it because it looks like the Farrari from Tuscany Italy? Is this true?

BTW i just got an awsome sound system for my car, 2 Kenwood Excelon Amps, both 1,000 Watts. A 2 Channel hooked to my Solo Baric, and a 4 channel going to all four of my Kicker speakers. WOW that **** hurts yur ears.

Hello,

I currently own a Mustang but I am in market for a Tiburon. This Friday I should be signing the paperwork for a 2006 Tiburon GT SE. I had a few questions and was hoping they can be answered.

For Mustangs Exhaust will only give you a generous 5-7 HP if lucky and maybe a little high end torque and CAI will generously give you 1-2-3 HP and maybe a little low end torque. I have heard different for some imports. Some people say that CAI and exhaust will make big differences. Together anywhere from 15-20hp. Is this true or is that a little overboard?

I know its a retarded question but when i look at it it looks like a dbl. din but the more i look at it i convince myself it isnt.Now i have installed alot of radios in my time,but none were dbl.
---oops is this a dbl din or not???(6 disc indash with cassette)??

My wife has a 2005 Tiburon that we bought last April. It has less than 10,000 miles and started making a noise like a flat tire when we drove it from Florida to NC in Oct. We can't always hear it, and the speed of the sound doesn't change when accelerating or at different speeds. Does anyone have any ideas? The dealeship can't reproduce the sound and when we drive it for them it doesn't do it.

Hi All,

Has anyone got any pics of their tib with a PDA solution - I'm not sure where to physically mount it in the dash. What I don't want is all wires showing and to keep it all nice and hidden :-)

If anyone has any PDA/tomtom, please post your pics so I can get an idea...

Thanks,
Menacez

I tried to increase the bass by re wiring the sub like i saw on the internet. But switching the black and green cables didn't increase the bass at all. Is it because i have an 06? Should i put the wires back?

I'm was looking to do a simple upgrade on the stock sub and I just wanted to check before I start ripping things out what some of you guys have done on your newer model tibs with a system like my 2005 600 watt. I'd love to just keep the same enclosure as stock and maybe upgrade the amp and woofer but I doubt anyone makes anything drop in for that, LOL!

Hey im new to the Site I got an 2004 ( not 03 ) Hyundai Tiburon SE ( yes the 4cyl Model ) Anyone Know where i can find a turbo Kit for my car? That you can use on the highway and everyday use? I can find V6 but nothin on the 4 Cyl Model. Thanks!

i just recently picked up a 03 tib gt v6 looking to get a little more umph out of her. My buddy suggested me to thomas knight electric turbo (supercharger). how many psi can i run without blowin the motor.

So I went ahead and had an Infinity Basslink II installed on my 2k4 tib. Circuit City decided, HEY...Let's not finish the job properly.

The remote controller for the front was not installed and the AC controlls behind the dash were not even connected.

On a lighter note, the sound is absolutely incredible (even with a factory radio) I highly recommend it to all (at half gain if you use the factory Radio)

i have an 2003 tiburon , how do i remove the factory stereo? please help!

Just bought me a 2003 Tibby SE 2.0 and was wondering if there is anything i can do to up the gas mileage. I'v heard about changing to a cold air intake and a cat back exhaust but i'm not sure. I'v also heard something about changing the timing???? any help???

Hey guys im new here

i have a 05 tibby SE 2.7 and i was wondering what is the best type + brand Cool air intake++exhaust system i should get. Any suggestions/advice/comment i would appreciate it.
Thanks!

I have this horrible vibration under my dashboard. It just started one day at about 200 miles on the clock. Sounds like a wiring harness is hitting the underside of the dashboard on rougher roads. It's near the instrument cluster. Putting my hand on top of the dash makes it stop.

Has anyone else had this problem? I am thinking about taking it back and trying to make them fix it, but I doubt they will cover it under warranty and if they do, they'll probably make more rattles than they fixed by removing the dash.

I've also got a smaller one on the driver's door panel, right next to my ear. It's the only thing I really can't stand about my car.

I am an owner of a 2003 hyundai tiburon GT V6 and I regret having ever bought it. Here is why. First, they falsely listed the horsepower. Second, there have been to date 7 recall notices that I am aware of. Third, the keyless entry system stopped working 3 months after I purchased the vehicle. Fourth, the sunshade assembly in the moonroof has come off the track twice in 3 years. These are the basic reasons. On top of all this the service department I have been using up until recently has "fixed" several issues only to return the car to me un repaired to any significant degree. The only reason I am keeping this car is that it would be to expensive for me to fix it and I would get very little on the resale. I caution potential hyundai customers to consider these facts before their purchases.

Anyone know if Hyundai is going to reveal the 2007 at NAIAS in January? I've heard some rather interesting rumors about it!

Thought you might like to see a pic of the Tiburon we built for SEMA this year. It's widebody! There's a little version of my rendering on the pedistal too.

I have taken my car to the dealer numerous times for a check engine light and they can't seem to get it fixed. I have the MAF on the CAI replaced, the O2 sensor replaced and still get the CEL light. I was given a code of P0174, bank 2, running too lean. They told to put an octane booster mixed in with the gas and also told to get a higher grade gas of 93. What exactly does that mean and would the suggestion they told me help me at all.

It seems that when I drive with the stereo off I notice a sound coming from the rear of the vechile whenever I hit a bump on the road. It's not a squeaky sound but similar to the sound of plastic wrapping being scrunched. Has anyone else had a similar issue? I'd like to be better informed before I take it to a dealership.

Im looking for a wide body kit for my 03 tibby gt! Does anyone have any ideas????


Thanks ~~~~~ Sarah~~~~

Basically i have the most generalized and open ended questions on my newly used purchase on a 2003 Tiburon GT 2.7 6 speed.

I am looking to buy a cold air intake ( most likely AEM just because thats who i know of). I really dont know jack about cars and just want my car to perform a little better, not alot but a little. Small things like the intake, what spark plugs (or other plugs) that i may want to consider purchasing to give my car those 1-10 extra horsepower. If anyone has modded there Tiburon kinda like I want to, can you help me find what i need to look for and a good price to keep in my mind so i dont get screwed over?

Just contactd a dealer online on a new 06, they came back with a price 500 under invoice. There has to be a dealer incentive. What is it?

I have a 1997 Tiburon with a 4cyl 2.0L and was wondering if my headers and exhaust system would fit on the 2005 or 2006 4cyl model. Would these parts fits?

My fog lights don't seem to be working. I changed the bulb and still no luck. Could it be a wiring issue? I doubt it because my headlights work ok. Any suggestions?

Tell me I am the only one with this problem because I would not wish it to anyone!
When it rains alot and I mean alot...no noise
When it is dry like the desert and I run the wiper...no noise
When it is a normal rainy day...on its way back up...it sounds like a WWII machine gun!
It is definetly the wiper because you see it skip on the window.

Went to the dealer, they wiped it clean and bent it to take the shape of the window but it stills sounds like a full-auto machine gun. Car is only 3 months old!

Yaya, buy a new wiper blade and try it...I know. Just wanted to know if this is a common problem?

Thanks!
