Default Goodbye Tiburon Hello 350z

New guy to forum here. Just wanted to officially say goodbye to my 2004 custom modded Hyundai Tiburon, Technically still have it since I didn't trade it though, and a big ole Whatzzzzup to my 2003 Enthusiast 350z.

The main reason: Tired of playing with kid toys. Tiburon was/is an okay car but when you start moding it, well, korean made engines aren't built to handle power increases. Also, made some wrong decisions when chosing parts for it that have cost me a lot of time and energy.

Second reason: Its a Z. Nough said.

Welcome, better luck with Z. So much info here, but do your homework, so you don't get burnt again.

Aswesome advice. I think I will be getting things done at Power Addition in Wilmington, DE. They look like a good group of folks.

The main problem with the Tib, it aint a girl car by the way, is that no one knows how to work on one that is juiced up. It was funny to see mechanics faces when they popped the hood and saw the engine bay, not so funny when they said I'm not sure about working on this car. Talk about a head shaker moment.

Thanks for the welcome to the board ya'll. Be seeing you around.
