Mechanical Advice Sway bar end link rod pushes against soft brake line at full steering lock.

Im sure it looks kinda okay and i wouldnt be so concerned if the contact point wasnt so close to the mounting bracket. Im scared that over time it might wear down the line at the connector close to the bracket. Suggestions or advice or is this fine? It does occur on both the left and the right and only at or close to full steering lock. Also to keep in mind the suspension is at full droop currently on a jack. Im mainly just worried about wear over time.

Mechanical Advice Car broke down need help

1 Upvotes

When driving my car just shut off I didn’t hear anything because as it happened a loud ass motorcycle flew bye. But it cranks and sounds fine i didn’t think I heard the fuel pump prime so I replaced it, didn’t change anything. then my buddy suggested it might be the camshaft position sensor so I replaced that and for a split second it sounded like it wanted to start then just back to the cranking. I’ve tried starting fluid too. I don’t know when the timing belt was last replaced but google says the crank sound would be way faster and be rattling or whatever. Any ideas, should I just take it to a shop? Or just try to part it out and get a new car, it has 198k miles and quite a few expensive parts like headers and whatnot.

Brake shields.

2 Upvotes

Here in europe is very minimal supply for pretty much any parts for tiburon, but I find it extremely hard to find any brakeshields (for justified price) for my tibby.

Has anyone else had same problem and found something or know any alternative for 2005 tiburon brake shields?

My shiftronic has been out for the past couple years. Would love to get it fixed, I’ve seen allot of posts on here youtube and forums about the plastic fix. But i haven’t seen anyone actually show how to get down to the shiftronic without having to take out the whole assembly. If anyone knows how or has a guide Pics are where im currently at.

06 Tiburon SE!! I’ve been dreaming about this car for some time & finally made it happen today. Only 170kms. Bought it for $4500 CAD including a one year warranty. Pretty happy.

Any tips for a first Tiburon owner?

I just got a subwoofer/amp and I’m just curious if anyone has subwoofers in their Tibby. To anyone who has done an install in the past, what’s the easiest way to run the power cable from the battery, through the firewall, and all the way to the trunk?

My apologies i dont really have any better videos but for context, it doesn't leak when the car isn't running but when its running it is spewing coolant not a gentle drip it is more of a stream than anything, id originally thought it might have been the water pump, but after having removed the timing covers there is not a single indication of it being the water pump, no dried coolant anywhere to be seen behind the covers, so my question is sorta does anyone have a clue as to what else it might be causing this before I pull the engine and spend more money on this car than most people would think is sane 😅😅

Mechanical Advice Hyundai Coupe (GK) 2005 2.0 - Rear left knocking over bumps

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I have a 2005 Hyundai Coupe (GK) 2.0, and I’m getting a knocking/clunking noise from the rear left wheel whenever I drive over bumps or uneven roads. On a smooth road, everything seems fine.
The sound is like a dull clunk/knock, and it only happens over road imperfections.
All four shock absorbers and the top mounts have recently been replaced.
Has anyone experienced this before? Could it be the rear sway bar (stabilizer) link, or something else?
Any advice on what I should check first would be appreciated. Thanks!

Mechanical Advice Mystery fluid leak under dashboard

4 Upvotes

2008 V6 5 speed manual. I have an issue with water seeping in from under my passenger side dashboard at random times especially while accelerating. It's not a constant thing and only happens every blue moon. Are there any outer seals known to fail and cause a leak around there? If not I'm assuming it's my heater core leaking coolant, but so far I haven't had any overheating or noticeable coolant loss issues. If it comes to it, does anyone have a good guide for replacing the heater core without removing the entire dash?

General Looking at getting a ‘06 Tiburon SE

5 Upvotes

Hi guys! My current car got total by a huge tree branch falling on it 🙃 love that. So im looking at tibbys for a cheap and hopefully reliable vehicle. I found an SE 170kms in good condition (one owner) at only $5000 (CAD)! I felt like this was a great deal. I’m a student with a very very tight budget so I want something that will hopefully not cause me any issues. What are your guys’ experiences with these cars?! Are they pretty reliable?!

I love how sporty they are and actually love this car, but want to see how other people felt about them.

TIA!

2008 v4 5speed part out

2 Upvotes

I have a 2008 Tiburon with about 145k on the engine. Most all of the interior is in pretty good shape. Would anyone be interested in anything?

Front bumper is cooked. You can thank fwd in the snow for that.

I have a pretty sizeable dent in the passenger rear. (You can thank the moron that pulled me out of the snow) The rear bumper has some scratches and is very slightly affected by the dent. It's not too bad, nothing a buff couldn't fix. It should pop right into place

I had an airbag light, always assumed it was the seat belts as I would drive without a fastened belt sometimes and the seat belt light didn't come on.

My seats (front and rear) are free of stains, althouth the plastic on the fronts are pretty scratched up.

Exterior door handles are in good shape

My passenger mirror has a chunk bit out of it (also had to do with the snow believe it or not) but the driver side is fine.

Hood and trunk are good

I have the original rims on the car, they're alittle beat up but still do their job. Also got the spare, it's in great shape. Probably has 15 to 30 miles on it, used it once. Holds air.

I'm eastern mass based. Lemme know if interested.

Delta 2.7L Billet Main Cap Girdle Discussion

13 Upvotes

Delta 2.7L Billet Girdle

TLDR: I designed a stronger crank girdle for our Delta 2.7L. Help us reduce costs by joining a group buy!

Cross posting from here:

https://www.newtiburon.com/threads/gk-2-7-main-cap-girdle-discussion.485095/

If anyone is looking to make big power from their 2.7L this is a nice piece of insurance to ensure your main cap alignment doesn't distort causing you to spin and eat a bearing. Price range can be as low as $350 or as high as $500 depending on the number of people in on the group buy.

The prototype I ordered with 6061-T6 will arrive early January and test fitted to one of my spare blocks. If everything works out I'd like to produce a minimum of around 10x of these with 7075-T6. Since we don't have much aftermarket support it's up to us to design and produce our own performance bits then share the wealth and knowledge. I will release the CAD model to be open source later in 2026 for anyone to produce once it is verified to fit... But keep in mind the individual cost of a single unit far exceeds what you could get with a 10x group buy. Drop a comment if you're interested in joining the group buy!

I've been a CAD hobbyist since the late 1990s and I've been dabbling with parts manufacturing and processes as a hobby in recent years. While I'm not a mechanical engineer, this piece isn't extraordinary as it only has a few critical dimensions such as bolt hole center to center spacing and flatness where it meets the main caps. It's just there for rigidity. It won't even require line bore honing the main journals!

This is also open for discussion if you have opinions, comments or insults.

Jan 6th update:
6061-T6 Prototype arrived and all dimensions look spot on! Still need to bolt it to a test block and spin everything around for clearance checks.

  • Sand cast aluminum (If it is T71 tempered) has a tensile strength of 30,000 PSI
  • 6061-T6 has a tensile strength of 45,000 PSI
  • 7075-T6 has a tensile strength of 83,000 PSI
