i currently autocross a friends 1997 tiburon fx hence the name 8D.
the only thing done to the car is koni adjustable shocks and a k&n filter. we have not been able to find any catback exhuasts for it that look respectable.(nothing dyno proven) this car has 95000 miles on it and still running strong. the owner bought this car brand new and autocrossed it since day one. we just changed the stock brake pads at 95000. i have not personally open tracked or done any road racing with the car so i can't tell you how it does there. good luck on sponsors as we have been unsuccessful with the local hyundai dealers helping us out.
