Howdy folks. Name's Nick.
I've been a member for a long time, but was out of town until this summer. I got a card for Tennspeed.net on the UT campus and that's how I found out about this place. This is a very cool site!
I drive a blue 2004 Tiburon GT with a few mods done to it (I/E, rims, springs, etc)
Just wanted to introduce myself, and if you see me around town (or campus) say hi!

Right on man... good to see someone from my future school on here.
After I get out of the Army, that G.I. Bill will go a long way. :)

Soon I should be painting a front lip for it, and painting the rear diffuser to match the rims. Also I'm debating ditching the rear spoiler.

Wow man... brings back memories of my best friend Daniel... cars look almost identical, minus the color and the wheels.
You have Tuscani Badges by chance?
TidalTib
08-12-2008, 04:55 PM
Yep sure do. Mine are custom airbrushed though. They look just like this.

Very cool! Yeah mine is also a GT V6, but I just shaved off those emblems and replaced them with the Korean emblem for the Tiburon.
I'd love to see some pics of that Tib!

The wheels are MB Motoring in 17x7 43+ offset. My old rims were bent from the previous owner, so I had to replace them.
BTW, Eric you should have seen my face when I got the card. When I first saw it I said "What the #$#@, why did they give me a ticket?!".

I ran over a screw on the interstate going to the mall last year. Didn't even know it til me and my friend went down to his car 3 days later and passed mine w/the flat. I threw on the spare and drove towards that small tire repair shop on the strip next to Exxon. On the way over there the spare went flat, so I had to ride on rim into the place. We took a look at the spare. In the 9 years the car had been around the spare had never been used so 9 years of bad air was not going to hold up to the weight of my pass. side rear.
Did i mention they plugged up the hole from this tiny screw for $10?

nice!!! sounds like my flat sophomore year...was driving to school...and hit something on the interstate...pulled over and noticed nothing was wrong...start to pull into the garage and my car starts shaking..get out for class, look at the wheel/tire..and the tire is flat and about halfway from going off my wheel...i cuss a few times and decide to deal with it when i get done with class...Get back somebody left me a note saying i had a flat..which was nice of them..
I get everything out to change the flat...and the iron wrench doesn't fit with the lugs/wheels i have..so my friend drives back to apartment to get his wrench set..takes an hour...start to try and take the lugs off..they were tightened by the hands of god..jumping on the wrench..can't get them off..finally do and finally get the car jacked up...put on the spare and it is flat...drive to auto zone to get the fix a flat..barely make it to gas station to fill it up with air..
all in all it took me 4 1/2 hours to get everything done...

08-30-2008, 11:29 AM
