Just bought my first Tiburon this week- 03 gt with 109xxx miles (6speed). I'm super excited to start working on it :)
Right now getting a small tick from the passenger side rear of the engine (so it seems), as well as a burning oil smell. The ticking I've figured out by the forums already (thanks), and the oil is because i need to replace the valve cover gasket (which goes bad at about 100k). It's scheduled to head up to Hyundai on Monday. Oil change and VCG will be replaced then. Hopefully that will fix my issues.
Other than that, the the trans shifts smoothly, and the engine seems strong without losing any power, and i'm happy with it.
My plans for it aren't much. After I know 100% that the motor and trans are good, i'll start switching things out, moving things in, getting it painted.. all the fun stuff :) -- pictures will be posted once i get them up.
p.s. any great tibby beginner info out there is surely appreciated :)
p.s.s. not new to driving, not to new driving a manual, just new to hyundai :)
