My previous projects.
RDturbulance81's 2001 Hyundai Tiburon This lowered s10 was by far my favorite truck. I miss it so much. It had a CAI, gibson exhaust, underdrive pulleys, jet power chip, short throw shifter, no cats, 2in front drop, 3in rear drop w/blocks and air shocks(the only lowered s10 that could technically haul 1100lbs with ease, lol), it wasn't finished in this pic, i put on some old 1970's ansin sprints rally rims which were wider in the rear then the front and it really gave the truck a tough stance.

My 4x4 s10 was never meant to be fast, but it ran a mid 15 with CAI, custom dual exhaust and a hypertech power program. I never once got stuck in it and have pulled dakota's and rangers out of ditches on some snowy days. Deffinantly one of the best 4x4 small trucks i've ever owned.

 

RDturbulance81's 2001 Hyundai Tiburon My 400ex. bought it stock and when it was finished it had Holeshot tires with ITP rims, A/F Oil Tank, DC nerfs, Rolldesign steering stem, gibson steering stablizer, White Bros. R4 full race exhaust, White Bros. CAI, ProTaper handle bars, Ace front bumper, Re-geared, rear wave rotor, Works triple rate front shocks, single rate with piggy back rear shock, and after market black plastics. It was fast, fun and track worthy for an amature.

This set up is gone now, was a fun idea, but was so unrealistic it wasn't funny. Always got strange looks because it though, not sure if it was a good or bad thing, lol.

New update, side exhaust is gone, broke down and bought a header back system, so much better, the balance isn't the same, but that side exhaust was a very beastly exhaust system, a 28" glass pack, a two chamber muffler, plus pipes and tips, yeah,,it was heavy, so now i have a full SS 2 1/2" system that sounds way better and was about 30lbs lighter. Everything else is the same, CAI, headers(new, painted red, well redish), 11lbs flywheel, short throw shifter, swapped the piston grip for a black B&M T-handle, 10.5MM plug wires, NGK iridium plugs, D/S rotors, OOW OOW and new battery terminals,,whoo hoo.

 This what i've recently done. Newer intake and new headers painted redish orange. Oh and go ahead and rip on the engine bay, its so f/n dirty i'm kinda ashamed but oh well, the engine runs strong.

 RDturbulance81's 2001 Hyundai TiburonMy rusty ass undercariage. This shows how bad the road salt is around here, i cleaned all the rust off and painted my oil pan last yr. Wasted effort if you ask me.

Never realized i didnt' put a pic of my entire car on here, but here she is. Oh and a lovely thing i found out is that my car was in an accident before i bought it, found that out a few months ago. If you look at the front end, the lines are all off. Pisses me off, but oh well.

My sisters AZERA. I was the first person in my family to buy something other than an american made car, and since then, my sister has bought a hyundai, but she bought a really nice one. Up until the genesis, this was the fastest korean made car. My bro-inlaws grand prix in the back.

 My bro-inlaws Grand Prix GTP Comp G. Very quick car. I did the exhaust on this,flowmaster's and a/f tips.  its far from perfect, but i think it looks great compared to the stock tips, sounds means too.

 My uncles 34 Ford, i love this car, driving this really makes you appreciate all the bells and whistles we have in our cars now. Oh and it is going to be featured in the new Jonny Depp film.

New update, i always loved preludes, i think they have a very cool style, but i never drove one and was always under the impression they were quick for a 4 banger, but i've raced two in the past month, blew them away, and that blew me away, i always knew my car was quick for what it was, but to beat a prelude, never thought it was gonna happen. I even talked to one of the guys i raced and he had cam and ignition work done, i couldn't beleive it, are preludes really that slow or do these guys just not know how to drive? Anyway, i'm happy about that. Not only that, but i've been using z-max in my tib and since i have been, i went from getting 27-29 mpgs to 33-35, i've never seen any change in any aditive i've used untill this one, try it, its kinda expensive but the turn out is well worth it. And before any of you say its snake oil or what ever, do the research and dont' go off the old info, z-max has come a long way since its been on the infomercials, its no longer dyed mineral oil, its the real thing, i wouldn't say it if it didn't work.
