Default Any Hyundai People around

Just curious if any Hyundai owners are out there!!!

If your curious, I own, drive, and race the following:

2005 Hyundai Elantra GT Hatchback
Tidal Wave Blue
Fully Loaded (All Power, Sunroof)

FIVE-SPEED MANUAL (for those who doubt)

Key 4-2-1 Headers
Custom Cat back exhaust
SRI
TWM Performance Shifter bushings
Sprint Springs (1.75" drop)
Custom painted alloys
Eyelids
Custom Grill
4 Air Horns
GT Tiburon Rear Sway Bar (19.2mm, up from 11mm)
15.7s 1/4 is the quikest so far, on street tires, full interior, with tools in the hatch, ONLY way I ride.

Lots of other mods coming, especially from a couple of sponsors:

Findanza Lightened Flywheel
SPEC Stage III Clutch (4-puck)
Compact Divisions Phenolic Spacer
Some sort of Laughing Gas, just not sure which one yet

Hey,

I have a black 2003 Tiburon GT 6spd widebody, you might've seen me around... My car was stolen and the body kit was destroyed and the wheels were stolen (as well as most of the other shit on the car) but here's a few pics of how it looked...

That black Tib looks nice, did insurance cover the damages for you??

Boostoholic, I'm not from Tampa either, I live in Orlando. I had heard about this site as a great place to sell my CRX, which no one seems to come through on. I got a lot of responses, a lot of promises to come and pick it up, but no one has followed up on their committment. Oh well...

I've got a club here in Orlando, OrlandoXD, which consists of XD Elantras. We also have regular Hyundai meets as well, on International Drive, right off of I-4. If any of you guys are interested, I'll let you know when the next meet is and some directions. From what I hear, there's a meet next weekend at the Bradenton Drag Strip, which most of the club will be attending.

Any of you guys going?

Glad to see their are other Hyundai tuners out there, didn't really expect any in Tampa though. Nice...

Well I'm actualy about two hours south of tampa so no orlando meets for me but bradenton is real close. I just had a baby 2 weeks ago though so no money or time for the car at the moment but down the road for sure.
