If you thought we're only about motorcycles on this channel, you thought wrong!
A few months ago I picked up this 2004 Hyundai Tiburon GT. This is going to be the first car I ever mod! Having owned about 6 cars at this point and never following through on the mods I wanted to do, it's about time we start wrenching on a car.
I picked up this car for a whopping $1,500. It gets better...
I bought this car from the original owner
I have every maintenance record since new
The car has approximately 80,000 miles on it
I even have the original sales receipt and window sticker
I scored big on this one! At least, I did on my opinion.
Now I understand what a lot of you are thinking. "It's just a Tiburon, what's the big deal?" Well, the goal was to create a fun summer car that wasn't going to break the bank. With car prices nowadays, that's damn near impossible I think we can all agree. But the Tiburon is different, it's unique. You don't see many of them around and when you do, they are usually clapped out rust buckets because people abuse them! I love the look of this car. The lines and shape remind me of a sports car that just screams early 2000's. I don't care that it only has 175 horses from the factory, it's exactly what I was looking for. It's definitely not a car that enthusiasts are raving to get their hands on...but I think one day these will increase slightly in value. Maybe I am wrong. But I didn't buy this car for that reason. I bought it to have fun, and fun is what we're gonna have!
Since ownership I have done about $1,000 in basic maintenance to make sure we were ready to mod. Brakes, oil changes, passing inspection, etc. With all the boring stuff done, it's time to mod!
Here in part #1 we do the most simple bolt on you can do, an air intake. I purchased mine from eBay for around $50. All the parts that came with mine are in the video! Even though this won't give us any power increases, it will hopefully help the car breathe a bit and free up some space under the hood. And let's be honest, if we can get a few whoosh whoosh noises then I'm in!
Thanks for watching, let me know what you think of the car in the comments down below!
