Hey guys, I just through a rod on my 04 tib se.. it had 54,000km on the car. It was covered under warranty and my car was bone stock.. Im half scared to start tuning it for fear I might blow it again. Any thoughts?
:disappointed:

How did the rod blow ? I have a 2003 Tiburon GS-R 6 speed with exactly 54,000km on it as well, anything I should look for ?
im sorry but this has nothing to do with the Tibs but dont feel bad I seen an 03' Srt-4 blow up after 54 Miles of easy "break-in" mileage ...no lie... :dead:

The next time you talk to your boss with a booger hanging from your nose, or leave the house with your fly open, think of it this way: At least you didn't just get outrun by a 13-year-old Hyundai sedan with drum brakes. - Billy Rubio -much respect man- "4g63 x2"
DAMN man. I would tell the techs to check out the crank journals in the block. it could be the crank started wobbling due to a defective block. Or your harmonic balancer. Last is drive easier.
If im not mistaken DRACCENT I think thats refered to as "Crank-Walk"....but i could be wrong....and if it is crank walk you've got REAL problems ....

Bone stock? then why is it in the nitrous section?
sounds like you had defects in the manufacturing process.
probably a rarity

one time i raced a snail with my Tib. he took me off the line but once i caught traction i accidentally ran him over while attempting to pass. i won by default, but since i was obviously catching him to be able to run him over i figured that i would have won anyway.
i also have a 04 tib. i was just recently told that if you put a turbo into it then it would blow the engine and that tibbys are know for that. so basically the only thing you can do is the exhaust, intake, and air filter and have it be totally fine. i know im not much of a help but just thought that you should know what i found outl.
