Owner Jonathan Garcia + location Portland, OR + Vehicle 2006 Hyundai Tiburon GS

Pasnation user GMONEY_TXS + Car Club Affiliation Team Xcessive Speedz

What Events have you competed in?

N/A 1st year car will be in show

+ + +

What will be your next performance modification/upgrade?

Weds SA-70 18x10 +22, Coilovers, Fender work.

鈥淎ll Show鈥, 鈥淎ll Go鈥 or Both, Why?

All show for me. The Tiburon does not have enough base horsepower to make it truly a sound investment to seek higher performance gains. However, aesthetically, the Tiburon is a beautifully crafted machine and the modifications I will seek out and add on will only enhance what has been there all along.

Any Shout Outs?

First and foremost, I gotta give it up to the members of Team Xcessive Speedz Car Club for welcoming me in to the family and being patient while Voodoo is getting show ready! And I cannot forget the PNW鈥檈rs for the invite to the 4th Annual PNW cruise that we went to in May and especially to Chris Peaslee, Sean Moore, and Floyd and Stacy Wheaton for welcoming me into the group!

To Rob and Brian at Vertical Doors Inc. and Chris at FlyRyde, thank you for providing me with such a great opportunity to not only get some press for me and the Tib, but more importantly to help bring a newer and better kit to the Tiburon community. I always drop your names when people ask about them!

What will be your next performance modification/upgrade?

I think my next upgrade is going to be either seats, new rims, or a turbo kit聽 because I miss my old turbo- ha-ha!

+ + +

鈥淎ll Show鈥, 鈥淎ll Go鈥 or Both, Why?

Right now I am all show. Why you ask? Well, this is my third Scion tC and my first and second one I had a turbo in, but this one I headed in a different direction with my car and just wanted a nice clean ride.聽 The turbo was definitely fun, I loved it, but to go low and slow and have more money in my pocket, I decided to part ways.

Any Shout Outs?

To my girlfriend Nichole, I love you! And thank you for helping me with all my car crap and putting up with all of my bs! And to Prodigy Motorsports, which is the car club that I am affiliated with because they are my family and friends and I couldn鈥檛 ask for better people.
