Well I thought I would go that route. But I did my homework and found out 03-04 tibs have horrible transmission problems. A buddy of mine that had an 04 had constant problems with the transmission.
04' Tuscani (Tiburon)

AWD would have been so much better! They really need to bring the Spirra over here. I'd buy one if I have the money

Damn straight!
On a side note since the last time I posted I had a tire come off a wheel. So I went back to my stock wheels. I guess it was partial stretched tires and a somewhat bad alignment made the right mixture to cause this.
Nothing special just some current pics.

Front end looks good. Stretched tires are gay.

Not a fan of Tiburon's at all, but this one looks really clean. And as everyone stated above, this car should've been RWD. I hate when auto manufacturers take a car that has potential of being cool, and ruin it with FWD. I used to have a 2004 Dodge Stratus R/T and that thing had some spunk and would've been awesome with a 5spd and RWD...something to compete with low end Mustangs perhaps. Nevertheless, was built as average crap and lost in the sea of worthless vehicles.
Nice Tiburon.

I agree I absolutely can't stand when the lip of a wheel has a gap between it and the tire. I didn't mind mine so much because it was a subtle stretch compared to what I am used to seeing online. Thanks front still isn't done yet, I've got two pieces to add/change up. New wheels and tires should be on in a couple of months. Definitely going with a more performance geared set up with light weight wheels, beefy tires, ect.
Thank you sir! At least they went somewhat in the right direction with the Genesis.
Thanks! Took long enough to get it back and it's still not done. I will be sending the rotor pack out in a couple of weeks to get them drilled to make them light weight. Then it's getting rebuilt. The bearings got ruined when they dipped the blower.

A little bit closer to finishing the supercharger build just need light weight rotor pack, and have it rebuilt. Just got my manifold back in the mail today.

Cat: best mod by far.
Seriously though, I'm wanting to see how this thing gets down once it's finished.

I haven't really done much to the car since I last updated this. I bought a set of NGM heads (stiff valve springs). I sent the intake manifold off again for it to get re powder coated I didn't like the color combination with the blue and gold. New color will be a different color and a little darker. I also picked up another transmission a lot less miles and I plan on getting some work done to it. I received my heat exchanger a couple of days ago. I am possibly going to have it anodized as well.

Once I receive my intake manifold, valve covers, and fuel rails I will only have a couple of things left on to do on the supercharger project. I will be looking for new hoses steel braided ones for the coolant lines, a cobra water pump, reservoir tank, a MAPECU tuner, and gauges. I am still debating on whether or not I want to boost a 150k mile engine.. When I turn the boost up I am planning on going another block, CP pistons, and Pauter rods.
How she currently looks.

I am stoked I got a pic from the powder coater today. I think the 24k blower is going to go so much better with this color scheme.
I decided to go with a color very similar to the Surf Blue that comes on the Mini Countryman.

Probably my last update for a while at least until I get new wheels on, hood, and everything installed.
Received my parts from ZMR Modifications today. Teaser pic. I have some more but I can't find my cable for my camera. Sorry blower was too bright to get a good shot
