Not much to convert, just emblems and a few miscellaneous stuff, like floor mats, aluminum dash trim, and a few other minor little things can't remember..Nothing performance wise...Same car different name with a few minor thingss...:bandit:

*The Tuscani comes with some pretty cool features. *******

*One is the Heated seats. Ever wonder why those switch covers were there next to your fog lights?

*Next is a opiton to intigrate your cell phone into your stereo. Where our "small square" that im sure most of you actually use to put your cell there is where the docking station is. You place your phone in there and hit the phone switch(another missing switch on the dash) microphone is located up by the sun shield.

*See the TC on and OFF light on your guages? Thats Traction Control. And it is on the Tuscani. Im not sure if i really want it or not to be honest...but I digress.

*Know that goofy looking slot on the passenger side. Where your girl puts her phone or smokes? That is a cup holder on the Tuscani.

*under the center dash(stereo, AC/heat controls) Is a Multi guage set up. The guages monitor Volts, Instant torque, Gas mileage.

*Different emblems

Converting a Tib to a Tuscani takes a few bucks. It isnt just throwing different mats and badges on.

Yes yes, it is a little more than putting emblems and floor mats, but it isn't as complex or costly as doing other types of conversions such as Nissan Sylvia conversions, or like my friends J-Spec Turbo conversion of his 91 NA Toyota MR2...That type of conversion is really costly and more involved...What I meant to say is that most of the conversion peices are just cosmetic and some extra goodies. Hence I said some other extra stuff I forgot about... Not really anything worth spending big $$ to do it.. If you like all the bells and whistles and have the money by all means have at it, but the car is basically the same U.S. and K-spec.....:bandit:

I understand what you meant but this is pretty much about the general crowd.

chumby10340 requested information regarding the conversion and we should be able to give this member a whole list of differences between the South Korean's Tuscani 2.7 Elisa and the American's GTV6. We don't know whether he will or will not do the conversion. At least with the whole list of conversions can allow this member to decide and choose if its worth investing into the car. It is simply to give this member "options" and not personal opinions. If chumby10340 decided to do the conversion than it is his choice.

If any owner decided to do the conversion, we should encourage his/her interest into it even though converting into a Tuscani is still a Tiburon. By giving them the whole list of differences, it allows them to choose whether the investment is worth first: conversion or looks or performance.

True, my apologies...Personal opinion: You really don't even notice the missing stuff and if you do this conversion, other people will not even know what the difference is anyway, but personal opinion aside..Ihatecivics has put up a good list of the stuff and Hyundaifixer has the hook up..:
