New Forum joiner - Old Tiburon owner looking to buy a TSIII

Post by stormrider »

Hello Forum members :greetings-waveyellow: :greetings-waveyellow: :greetings-waveyellow:

I am glad I found you all here. I am coming from Athens, Greece and I live in the UK for the last 2.5 years.
I was a proud owner of a 2006 Tiburon, until 2012. It was a 2.0L turbo modified beast. I loved that machine but it had to go as I left Greece as well to move to Cyprus. After Cyprus I moved here and now I am looking for a Tiburon / Coupe once more since this car is in my heart. I was also a member of the Greek Hyunda Coupe Club and we had also a forum and I am very familiar with forum, and already feels like home :)

I could use some advice around the car market in the UK and about the car. I am looking in AutoTrader and the prices are varied.
I found a few TSIII and I have to admit these once are looking very good.

Hope for some advice and if you guys are around the area I would love to meet you as well.
Also advices in Audio Tuning, and internal-external tuning are welcome.
I am looking online for shops in the UK but maybe not looking correctly.

Kind regards
Stormrider :)

Hello/Yassas! I remember reading somewhere that in Greece the Coupe/Tiburon came from the factory with a turbo?

Just found this on wikipedia:
"In Greece and perhaps other countries, due to high taxation in hi-displacement engines, a 1.6-liter Turbocharged engine was available for some years"

Hello JGP

The local dealer in order to boost the sales, had a collaboration with a very big tuning house and they were selling the 1.6L with turbo somewhere around 2007 or 2008 if I remember correctly. But mine was tuned by SFR racing tuning kit, which is now not available, and actually was a very reliable one :)

Hello boys and gals and thanks for the very worm welcome. Hehehe i saw on the front page that you guys are preparing a new company or website for Coupe sales.

Is any one here who is selling a TSIII in Black or Grey or Silver ?? I can't stand the red leather from the other versions.

Thanks again and enjoy your weekend

Regards
Stormrider
