Damn...with the $30,000 he put into that car, he could have had a badass 240.

I just wonder....why?

my favorite parts:

And how about some neon? No, lots of neon. Neon trim on the seats. Neon runners on the undercarriage. Neon rings on the exhaust pipes.

Neon, for example, is embraced only by the newbies. Among hard-core tuners, neon is ... well, it’s tacky. Now, a demon-red Hyundai Tiburon with robotic-looking ground effects, euro tails and finished off with a Japanese aluminum wing? That is hot


YEAH!!! HYUNDAI OWNZ!!

Cavaliers....Tiburons...can't they do better than that? No mention of a 240 though...that's good.

that's got to be one of the worst articles i've read... and whomever made the "welcome to last week comment", man... u couldn't be more dead-on, cept I guess it's more accurately, "welcome to 2000".

Good god, "Tuners". I consider tuners, people who actually know how their engine works! People who can adjust every fiber of their PowerFC. Jesus. Replace everywhere you see the word "Tuner" in that article with the word "ricer", and you've got a good article. Ugh.
<--end rant-->

Reading that, I thinkg the average Newsweek reader would think just as poorly of those "tuners" as I do.

And who the hell uses "esthetic"? - the tacky American misspelling.

Whenever someone posts something, people love to say "oh that's old"

Hell I never saw it, so.. I'll be the first to say. Thanks for posting!!! Now, all I need on my S14 is special fenders, lights and wheels, and I'll have a rad ride!!!!

This stuff makes baby jesus cry!! And that kid looks like a f-ing TOOL, I mean. . he looks like the kid locally that drives a POS Hyundai, and claims to be the "best rally drive in the city." Considering we have no rally drivers here.. hey maybe so!!!

Also, he claims it has a "Spoon engine in there"
Which one you ask? We did too. His response "I don't know... but it's in there!"

Well, Ok. That was....enlightning ::I guess::

What I think is funny is how a lot of ricers mod their cars so they can be "unique" but take all their ideas from someone else's car or mag. If you want to be unique w/ your car you almost have to not mod it leave it stock and take it to car shows....Now that's unique

There's no way this tool put that much money into that turd.
Look at it... I mean, there's no high dollar item anywhere.

Man that article is just sad... Hey, I wanna get the Japanese tails for my car because they have a "bigger reflector" wtf. .
