February Wild COTM ***UnHolyTib***

I have always been in to building fast cars, in my younger years I rebuilt muscle cars, and was driving a restored 1972 LT1 380 horsepower Nova SS on March 25th 2004, While sitting at a light, I was hit by a large truck going 45 mph.. Needless to say, the car was destroyed.. And so was my back… After several surgeries, I had the itch to get some speed under me again.. I purchased the Tuscani in January 2005, with no other purpose than to hot rod it. My first purchase was a Injen CAI, and from the moment I put that on and heard the noise.. I had the bug.. This was my first import, and I wanted to give it the muscle car look…

Next step was the supercharger, after a mishap with a belt coming off.. It was time for a new motor… While Hyundai was putting a new motor in the car, I purchased another Delta and began to rebuild it.. With the intentions to make a monster. Once that engine was completed, the stock one was removed and the under hood transformation started.. Over the last year, I have put many hours of blood, sweat and tears in to the car. As well as a ton of cash to make it the way it looks today. I tried as hard as possible to make it race, and not rice.. Future mods to include a Mussa Body Kit, CF hood of some sort, and a full race interior with roll cage and the like.. Of course the boost will be going up, but at 250 horses, it is already scary..

I have gained a lot of friend on NT and a lot of ideas from the members here, thank you for this honor… Special thanks to Tibboy2003 for being a true friend, Sorensilk, Balla and big thanks to DK, for the day to day inspiration to continue to do this to my car… Some day,, my car will look like a Frog On Fire.. bawhahahahaha

Re: February COTM ***UnHolyTib***

Your car is a benchmark for mine. I think that's about as good as any compliment I can give.

Actually, there's one thing I would do to it. 05 Tails, but they're not even necessary. The entire car flows so incredibly well.

Re: February COTM ***UnHolyTib***

WOW!!

Your car is the dream of all Tiburons!
There's absolutely nothing I can think of that would make your car look better.

I love the way the silver gas cap ring and the rims look together.
I'm going to do something similar, black center, metallic ring to match with my *soon* glossy black Metallic lip rims.

New Desktop!!

QUITE A FANTASTIC JOB!!
Might be the best COTM ever!
I feel bad for the next COTMs.................

Re: February COTM ***UnHolyTib***

UnHolyTib, congratulations on your car getting COTM :3_loveit:

It was very tough picking a winner for this cattegory (wild) as all of the members who submitted their cars had truly outstanding Tibs. For you to have been chosen out of the field that was submitted goes to show how much effort, money and time you have put into your baby :3_winkthu
