2.0GT for 30xxx I'm liking this. Just get a cobbs tuning ECU upgrade and that EVOX engine should be pushing EVOX numbers that's 280 290HP. ;) It IS doing 210bhp with 87 octane gas for fuck's sake.

[Jackygor]

Very nice! 30k with brembos and 4B11T rwd? WIN!

[!Yaminashi]

God damn I want one so bad...

[Rikaro]

damn I have to take my word back or not ever getting a Hyundai. The current Hyundai are quite mechanically reliable. Feels like there's a premium on the japanese cars now.

Don't be offended guys. It's just my opinion. I am putting this down because I know AT LEASE one of you will not agree with me.

[ws6ta]

damn that thing looks good!!

[dustinb]

I'll agree, that is the first hyundai that I think looks amazing. Would love to have one.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

pretty hot i guess

[Bender Unit]

The car look promising :thumbsup:

No Wonder...

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=xKfU_5jgupo

[ShyGuy]

wow...those production model cars are frickin hot.

[hamhead]

so GT only adds Brembos... not suspension?

[dustinb]

so GT only adds Brembos... not suspension?

It also includes a limited slip differential, 19" rims, and HID's (to the 4 cylinder model). I think with the 6 cylinder, the GT just adds the bremobs). Personally I think the 4 cylinder base is where it's at, a nice set of custom rims, lower it a bit, a good boost controller, and some 94 octane :)

[.Renn.Sport]

this is like a modern Silvia

[marc0lishuz]

I'd rock this in a heartbeat!

If the details & pricing are true then that's hard to ignore.

[Timpo]

oh fuck that shit it's still a hyundai

[Wykydtron]

I want....I want!!

[Timpo]

but i'd take this over mustang

[Fafine]

not bad

[ToyotaPowah]

Can't wait to test drive one. Always wanted to own a RWD coupe :D

[!Yaminashi]

and some 94 octane :)

No need, both engines are made to run on 87!
It says somewhere in that article

[Tegra_Devil]

okay, im not gonna lie, i came in here to bash this car and its thread....

then i saw a picture of the coupe....OMG that thing is fricking tight!!!!!

[q0192837465]

wow, that's a nice looking car.

[hk20000]

Hyundai definitely got this halo car the right time the right way. Economy is bad, supercars aren't going to cut it.

this, however, checks all the boxes for someone who just want a sexy coupe that's driving the proper wheels while sipping 87 octane gas.

AND package it so it appears to be full of potential. It certainly is based on its equipment. But they skimped on the frills and bit to keep the entry price more than reasonable.

If 240Z made Datsun what it is today, Genesis Coupe will be what makes Hyundai in 10 years. Just because things move so fast now compared to 1970s.

[dL]

WOW SOLD. Too bad I don't have teh money :(

dL

[orange7]

i'd sell my left nut for one...

[skyxx]

I would definitely buy this, since It looks great and it's at a good price point. Plus Hyundai has one of the best warranty programs out there. :):thumbsup:

[hk20000]

If this sells like hotcake we can foresee the next generation 86 from Toyota soon enough.

It only makes sense.

[Liquid_o2]

Must get. Lot's of different models to choose from as well. I would prob go for the 4 cylinder in the premium or GT.

Both my parents already drive Hyundai's, I may as well join em. Going to have to wait till I finish grad school in 2012 though.

[.Renn.Sport]

No need, both engines are made to run on 87!
It says somewhere in that article

you get more HP with 94 according to Hyundai

but i'd definitely get a proper tuned ecu map to use with 94 octane and get the original 290HP+ out of the 4B11. with some bolt-on 400-500HP is easily within reach with this car.

the 4B11 is what made this car so attractive, if hyundai put the same old 4 banger from the Tiberon, no one would be interested in this car even if it was sold for less then 20k

[Timpo]

ok According to Hyundai, the Genesis Coupe will smoke the Mustang GT, and they're priced lower, looks better and better reliability. :eek:

Genesis Coupe

3.8L 6 speed - $32,995
3.8L ZF Auto - $34,795
3.8L GT 6 speed (full load) -$34,995
3.8L GT ZF Auto - $36,795

Mustang GT

(add $1,250 for auto tranny)
Coupe 5speed - $33,999
California 5speed - $36,699
Convertible 5speed - $38,099
California Convertible 5speed - $40,799

3 posts worth of whining. Cut your bullshit for once and accept the fact that the Japanese Companies got beaten in terms of bang for the buck.

20-30 years ago, the [insert_Japanese_brand_badge_here] badge ruined the whole car too. Stop being stupid.

Timpo, just stfu and get out of this thread. It's obvious your blinded by a brand.

I wish they threw in sexier LED tails, and make the HVAC vents in the interior a little less toy-like.. Anyways, I'd hit it.. What bumper /skirt package is on the red one?

Come to think of it, maybe its time I let my beloved rex go and try some korean. :p

I hope these things are a lot better. They certainly LOOK good.

The interior looked really nice, I didn't sit in it but from what it looks, the material looks pretty good, it didn't have the cheap plastic looking.

I was not impressed with the exterior tho, it didn't look that cool. Maybe because it was bone stock.

oh but it had black housing headlights. which i have never seen in the pictures.

[Black SC2]

I wonder if Hyundai has fixed their new car smell yet? Last new one I sat in reeked of glue, mothballs and kimchi. I'd still rock one of these though, so long as they threw in a pack of pine trees.

it would be costly to mod a 2.0T. at least 15K to get it up to 300ish hp.

hyundai got a winner!

u know u got something going good when aftermarket support is strong!

what i think they should have done sooner, was to give a car to some top aftermarket brands to play with. win win situation.

[hk20000]

^ They thought of that before you did! check the HKS car!

that was waaaaay long time ago before it was even released in Korea! HKS had one I think Rhys Millen also had one before launch anywhere in the world.

[unit]

its a big step foward but i cant say i like it..
the front and rear just keep reminding me of the old tiburons.
also the rear passenger windows look very strange to me.

great bang for the buck tho in terms of performance and not to mention the great warranty that comes with it. cant wait to see how many warranties get voided within their first month though.

[3seriesBeeM]

wow hyundai is picking up there game those other manufacturers better watch out. I wouldnt mind picking one of these babies up. looks good with just rims and a drop

[Jackygor]

If this 4B11T is the same as the one in the evo, a simple tune will boost it up to around 230-240 rwhp, assuming stock hp rwhp is around 180-190. I have a feeling that the stock turbo would run out of breath at around 320-340 rwhp though...

[J____]

i loved the concept of the genesis coupe:

http://www.autoincar.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/hyundai-genesis-coupe-concept-2.jpg

and the production looks very similiar! i wouldnt mind owning one. Can't wait to see some track reviews on this car. doesnt look to agile from the drift video... either that or the driver is a noob. The only thing that it could do without is the dip in the rear quarter window.... if it was straight up it would go better with the lines of the car.


and i dunno about the rest of you guys, but im a huge fan of the genesis sedan, even more so thant he coupe. damn damn damn!

[What_the?]

damn thats pretty nice...

when are they rolling out in vancouver??

[hk20000]

you can already see them in person at many dealerships.

Should be on the road any day if you guys go pay up.

[HonestTea]

Interesting..this makes my 328i seem gay LOL

[Spin4G63]

Long read ahead if interested......

I test drove a base 2.0T this afternoon at North shore Hyundai. Pulling in with a G35 coupe the salesman was quite interested to throw me the keys for a back to back comparison. Initial impression was that they did a very nice copy of a 9/10th version of my car , right down to the same door handle pull action and window dip.

Very similar seating position and pedal/wheel layout. Trunk has a smaller opening but again almost duplicate features and contours.
Fit and finish were for sure up to par with current japanese standards (ie-honda, not the current crappy toyota scratchable plastics).

Starting it up you get a real 4 cyl sense and very boomy sound off idle, super light clutch and slightly clunky shifter with a vague disconnect as you shift but revs really nice and I found myself holding 4000rpm often just to roll on the throttle as it pulls quite nice. I can feel the ECU doing a slight weird jerky dance as it feathers boost or timing as you run through the rev range in the higher gears.

The boost through the first 3 gears comes on fast but with that strange floating rev between shifts that they do now, like the old Contour SVTs..took a couple of shifts to get used to it right away, Very nice heavy on centre weight added to the steering, but quick when you rotate the wheel during cornering. Compaired to my neutral weight feeling G35 the Genesis feels 1000 pounds lighter on its feet.

When on the gas powering out of a tight corner I found the stability control very intrusive, almost like it shared software with my Infiniti..I was not able to feel if the base had any sort of LSD as described in the articles I have read, and the salesman was not sure.. he was also not too comfortable with me turning the Trac off as I ripped through some twists off taylor way. :) (at 50kph)
Overall I have to give it a thumbs up for sure as an alternative to a used G37 /G37, and a for sure pick over any other current compact coupe in its price range (26Gs!!!)

I asked him to call me when the 2.0T GT comes in as that is one I would like to see more, for some reason the V6 is just not appealing to me even and having driven the 2.0T I feel the added lump of the 6pot will take away from the nice light feel they have in the turbo.

longest post ever.

[jack_dangerous]

i saw some korean review thing on youtube.. and they descibed the shifter not feeling very smooth and pretty clunky... and also that floating rpm feeling with slow pedal response because the vehicle is drive by wire..

[Rikaro]

How much cheaper is this compared to the G35?

[hk20000]

the floaty RPM is a modern day emissions thing as the throttle is closed at a controlled speed.

That should be a common thing these days where drive-by-wire are used. Give it some time and someone will make a "hax0r box" to connect between the pedal and the pedal angle sensor and cure that funny feeling. They have that stuff even on a HIACE so I don't see how the same company would want to miss the boat on this big mainstream market.

[hi5-ive]

what do u need to test drive cars? i got class 5, age?

[hk20000]

go to the dealer and act like an adult who is looking for a car.

These are some PROTIP:

appear in a car in the price range, or get driven there as though you don't have a car
appear in clothes that look professional
appear in a courtesy car / rental car also helps tell them you just crashed your ride LOL.

Chat with them with some enthusiasm but avoid talking about performance and drifting amd you should be able to get in a car and test driving in no time.

[skyxx]

^ Another one you can add, bring either your dad or your mom. I know it sounds stupid but it works most of the time. hahaha :) :thumbsup:

[Qmx323]

apparently, i like hyundai.

cant believe i just said that.

I think 70% of us is thinking the same thing :haha:
on a serious note though, this sexy looking thing for 30k?
Worth every cent in my books :thumbsup:

[thumper]

i just hope build quality is as good as it looks... my rental car experience with a hyundai elantra was not memorable :(

[Nightwalker]

Interesting..this makes my 328i seem gay LOL

This says volumes about how much of a winner this car looks to be. Who would ever imagine the day that someone with a BMW would say "hey, look at that Hyundai."


I can feel the ECU doing a slight weird jerky dance as it feathers boost or timing as you run through the rev range in the higher gears.

That might be due to a tank full of 87 octane.

[dustinb]

I'm blown away by this thread. I've never seen a thread about a new car that has received so much positive feedback as this one has... I'm looking forward to test driving one once a 2.0T gets in stock on the island.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

U guys all been brain washed

i will stick with G37, G35 , 370z, Lanc Turbo version thank u

[hk20000]

LOL if we have money yeah sure those are nice.

but a fully loaded 2.0T for the money of a fully loaded Matrix. Now I'm sold.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

in that case i may still rather have Mazdaspeed 3


its like $28-31g depending when and where u buy

[Spin4G63]

This is all about the excitment around a cheap well designed RWD 2+2 coupe, something that was totally missing in the current market.

Add a turbo and LSD to the mix with zero KM and 5 years warrenty? Come on, you would have to turn in your enthusiast card if that didnt stir anything..

+And yes I agree the boost issue may have been the octane, plus it was almost out of gas. The thing loses 10HP when run with regular so the active knock sensor must be very active.

[Vulgate]

This car is good news not only for Hyundai but for car enthusiasts because I hope other manufacturers will follow and bring out more affordable RWD coupes. Thumbs up to Hyundai. They have produced something that appears well built, fun to drive and affordable.

[Expresso]

in that case i may still rather have Mazdaspeed 3

Torque Steer? Unless you are 110lb soaking wet with twig-arms, this won't be an issue. Do you fit that description?

The Genesis and MS3 aren't really comparable. I can fit a queen size bed or 8 wheels in tires in the MS. The Genesis can drift.

Just sneezing on the gas pedal gets you doubling the speed limits :(

[!Yaminashi]

Agreed, the MS3 is more of a family station wagon.

Family station wagon or not, they're pretty damn fast
and personally I like to have a little extra room to haul things around

[hk20000]

What hyundai needs to make is a Genesis hatchback that looks exactly like the coupe but the rear glass portion flips up.

I mean I can put furniture into my AE86 and haul them around with the hatch closed I don't see why not on the Genesis Hatchback if the rear glass opens up.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

i love MS3

[RRxtar]

if that 3.8 V6 is the same one as out of the eclipse thats a pretty decent motor too. put about 1500kms on one over the summer and i almost have to say thats the nicest V6 i've had the pleasure of driving. it absolutely loves to rev with gobs of torque and it doesnt feel strained, ever. it accepts throttle input like a B series honda, except it makes power instead of just all sorts of noise.

[Adrenaline Rush]

How much cheaper is this compared to the G35?

You mean the G37? There are no more G35's.
V-6 to V-6, it's about a 10k difference.

[hk20000]

10K diff and 100cc difference. But the 100cc on the Hyundai side.

OH SNAP!

[Spin4G63]

2 things I forgot to mention in my testdrive, on cold startup there was a loud throwout bearing noise/howl that came and went with the clutch pushed in and out, plus a serious shifter rattle at 4K and above.

Both problems went away after the car was hot. I chalk it up to a note from Hyundai saying you cannot have your cake AND eat it too...(at this price point) :P

THIS thing is an effing Hyundai?! Look at it! Holy shit, and a BMW owner on here taking notice of a Hyundai..... anything is possible

This is what enthusiasts have been waiting for!!!

[Great68]

Less than you can afford PAL, HYUNDAI!

[too_slow]

I saw one up close at the Chicago Auto Show on Monday. I walked away very impressed with both the interior and exterior. The interior build quality was definately better than my rental Accord sedan, and way better than a 05 RSX-S that I've driven in the past.

They had an R-spec in black, and "I jizzed in my pants." LOL.. I can't wait until I get back home to test drive one! :)

I can't believe I'm seriously considering trading my car in for a 2.0GT 6spd..

[CanadaGoose]

Don't worry, you're not the only one lol

[abinga]

I will have to trade in my 07 tib and pick this up. Been waiting for this car for oh so long..

[ienhz]

So close to perfect. I really hate how they designed the front. Side profile is gorgeous though.

[AzNightmare]

I still find that tiny dip on the rear side window a bit weird. Must of did that in order to not have a blind spot. Wished they did something about it though.

the Hyundai badge ruins the whole car.

why didn't they bring the Genesis brand? I heard that Hyundai was trying to bring the Genesis brand here just like Lexus, Acura and Infiniti.

Your posts ruin this whole thread.

^^ I can't see it handling that badly. RWD, good weight balance, independent suspension all around, LSD optional and tons of space for fat tires is a pretty good combination.

[AsBannedAsItGets]

to me a hyundai will always be a hyundai. if this car exceeds expectations I would think it would be a good thing for a company who most true car enthusiasts regard is inferior.

Hyundai at the Abbotsford Automall already has 2. I sat in a 2.0T 6 speed and was pretty impressed. Gonna go back for a test drive after exams. They also had a V6 model with an auto.

In the 80's, many people made the former comment about Honda and Toyota. Believe it or not, society and companies evolve. Nothing stays the same.

Most "true" car enthusiasts already know that Hyundai has been beating the competition in many facets including reliability for a few years.

Most "true" car enthusiasts can appreciate a 2.0T, RWD, 6spd, LSD equipped sport coupe priced well below the competition regardless of what kind of clothes it wears.

Most badge-whore, armchair reviewers are still living in the 80's.

Get a fucking clue.

you're kidding! :eek:

source?

[hk20000]

Being the afacionado (?) that I am I went to test drive it.

And I love that thing. LOVE LOVE LOVE XOXOXO.

Glitches are there of course at such price:
Gear shifter feels plasticky for throw. I never missed a shift the whole way but it just feels plasticky....like shifter on a cheap Korean car should....oh wait.
Interior has rattle AT NEW CAR on A pillars
4B11 could be more refined...Ticking away at idle...Mitsubishi step your game up!
That floating revs make smooth shifting actually difficult (it's a car that demands you to shift slower....that sort of kills the mood)
Steering wheel has no telescopic adjustment so the fit would be a case-by-case basis.
Headroom in the rear seat is problematic if you are taller than 5'5"

Good things. Oh man this list is going to be long:
Excellent traction - the sales man was new and we totally hit that TCS off button and mash the throttle. Even without LSD the car is able to launch itself out of corner with much grace and very little drama - with much enthusiasm the tires still hold on to the road despite the tires being Bridgestone RE92s.
Very very sorted suspension - the car corners basically flat. If I don't tell you you'd think it's running on coilovers. But the shocks and springs take up the railroad track like nothing. The balance is going for the slight understeering at limit with 4 people (never really pushed that hard but the balance of the car seems to be tuned to understeer)
The NVH is kept at such a low level that it beats the crap out of the MZ6 2.3MZR I drove there in. It kept the vibration minimal while delivering exciting exhaust note.
Turbo lag is kept to a minimum but I don't know if that's a good thing. With my daily driver a 4WD Mitsubishi with 2 turbos I sort of got spoiled by the sudden kick in the back when turbo comes in (picture fast and furious hitting nitros kind of face, on my face) the stock 4B11 setup is very subtle for boost you can barely hear the BOV. I'm suspecting that the boost is kept at a very low level.
Rear seats - I can't believe the amount of legroom it maintained for the back passenger when my 6ft friend was driving. But headroom is an issue (see bad things)
Steering feels heavy - European car style heavy. But the sensitivity at limit could be improved - but then we were on BS RE92 so I would think that would improve with better tires equipped.
Seats - those seat would feel right at home installed on a 50K car. They are that good. premium package has the exact same seat with power and heat.

Overall I really really adore the packaging of the car. It's just no non-sense fun toy kick in the pants fun every time you drive the car. It reminds us of why the Nissan 240SX was so popular as a platform. The Genesis Coupe brings back the Z approach - sure it might look like it's copies of other cars in many ways but the recipe is just right. With that pricing I would say we have a true winrar that was absent for at least a decade.

Looking forward to the used models pricing to come down so I can get my grubby hands on one....

[one2one]

i'd take g37s over that.


Infiniti is Nissan. I take a Genesis over a G37 and have money left over for mods. And a warranty that exceeds Nissan/ Infiniti.

how does hyundai warranties work? do they require more frequent, more detailed (read: labor intensive=expensive) servicing?

nothing it's just 5yr bumper 2 bumper and that's awesome.

Apparently the factory turbo is much smaller than the EVO one....
http://www.rwdhyundai.com/photos/coupes/genesis_coupe_turbo.jpg

so chipping it to 300HP is physically impossible. To get to EVOX power you are going to need a turbo and/or intercooler swap...

Looks like they have a bad reputation to me..

[1990TSI]

It's actually a base model 2.0T. Just squeezed in the budget, no moneys for the track package, and I didn't want anything from the premium. also didn't want the 3.8.

I'm pretty happy with the color, it looks a lot better in person, or in better pictures I'd imagine. I originally wanted the grey(not the silvers, yuck), but it looks like everyone else does too, so it would be everywhere, and they will be a bit of a wait to get here.

Driving it is great. I've never had a new car before and the closest thing i've had to a new car experience is driving the parents 02 RSX auto. Big difference heh.
Handling is a lot better than I expected, it took a while to get used to it, and I had to be careful at first, but eventually opened it up and hit some corners. Very flat around corners, ride isn't too stiff, but it's stiffer than most new cars I've driven as a mechanic for the last year. I can only imagine what the GT/Track feels like with the bigger sway bars and tuned suspension.
I like the tires, I've always been a fan of Potenzas and I'm not let down with these. 245s in the rear don't want to let go, even with TC off in the rain and some encouragment. It's pretty confidence inspiring so far. I havn't experienced under or oversteer yet, but I havn't pushed tooo far yet hehe.

Power feels very similar to my last skyline, which had a 3" turbo-back, air pod, 13psi and an RB20det. Genesis feels like it has a bit more go to it, less turbo lag and a much quicker spool up, but the Skyline wouldn't run out of breath as easily as the genesis does with it's toddler sized snail.

A few weeks and some dry weather will bring a better review and some decent pictures.

Also have to say thanks to Trevor at Jim Pattison Hyundai on the north shore for being a great salesperson. No pressure, didn't look at me like a punk kid who drove in with a $500 beater full of snowboard gear (which I did) and it was an overall great experience.

Out the door was around 29k. 2.6% finance. I don't think lease rates are out for a few months.

Wow. That's great value. How much extra was the track package?

haha yea. I got the first one in BC and possibly canada, not sure. I get to be one of the guinea pigs. I'm sure it will all work out for the best though.



as for the track package, it was supposed to start at 29 or 30k, whereas mine started at 24.5k

Congrats on the purchase. You're the first person to put his money where his mouth is heh.

[shenmecar]

Nice stuff 1990TSI! :thumbsup: :) I wonder if "Mananetwork" is willing to do a photoshoot of your car. :D

SHIT that looks hawttttt

[too_slow]

Damn you, Eric.. I almost bought one today, but didn't.. The stealership's offer on my car was a huge insult.. :(

[abinga]

ATTN 1990TSI! I am so jealous of you right now that it hurts.

[HyundaiGuyTrev]

i thought that i would post some quotes for all you guys that are wondering on how much it would actually be to finance one these. All will be for 72 months at 2.6% interest.
2.0T base
455/month
2.0T Premium
504/month
2.0T GT
558/month
V6 Premium
596/month
V6 GT
630/month

these are all with 0 down. Also these are just the manual ones if you want auto then you can add about 25 dollars to each

nice plug.. haha

[HyundaiGuyTrev]

not really a plug. Just that some one was asking how much they are and i answered that with specific information because i work there.

[Wykydtron]

Took a 6spd 2.0T out for a quick boot today, and a auto yesterday, both premium trim. Overall, I am VERY impressed with the quality of the ride, and interior. The interior finish, and feel reminds me of the new 2010 Mazda 3's. The biggest complaints I have are the rear window/lack of visibility when backing up (but in a sports car that can't really be counted against it can it?), and I absolutely HATED the feel of the shifter.

^^^ u can't drive a stick!!! hahaha jk jk

1990TSI how much u payin for insurance a month if ya don't mind me asking? ur specs?

[too_slow]

So I went to the dealership in Kelowna today, they have a brand new 2.0GTTouring in Black.. Sooo sexy (can't believe i used 'sexy' to describe a hyundai)

-Finance rate is 2.6% for up to 84 mths..
-got some $$ from the service department.. Just to have an idea as to how much running costs would add up for the 2.0T.. I was blown away (not because it was super pricey, but it's cheap!).. It uses regular dyno oil.. Service 1 is only $29.99... A timing belt job on this car is only $299 (when it requires it..)...

Hmm, now should I let the dealership rape me on the trade-in value of my car.. :(

Anyone wants to buy a 04 Mazda 6 GT V6 5spd manual hatchback?? :D

[too_slow]

One thing to add.. the key fob is so damn ugly!!! Anyone know if you can retrofit one from the Genesis sedan (that fob looked like a BMW one.. so much sexier)

[1990TSI]

^^^ u can't drive a stick!!! hahaha jk jk

1990TSI how much u payin for insurance a month if ya don't mind me asking? ur specs?

about $150/month with 1mil liability, 500 collision and 300 comprehensive. That's for squamish though, you all will pay more because we don't have a richmond. That's at 40% discount as well.

It was the first one insured in BC though, so the rate might change. the lady said it doesn't usually change by much though and could go up or down

[Minata]

that does look pretty hot.
im in seoul right now..and the cars here look like they need some plastic surgery.

[!Yaminashi]

Damn I want one of these, too bad trade in value is total rapeage :(

This is the average of 3 dyno pulls. All three started at the same coolant temps, air temps and fuel trims. The Ign advance value was taken from the OBD-2 port. The Boost was taken from an external high accuracy sensor. The dyno is a mustang eddy current. 91 octane. All 3 pulls yielded very similar results.

Seems like the turbo is not big enough for the engine, boost is dropping constantly from 2900 rpm, turbo upgrade time! ;)

[slvr04rsx]

here are a bunch of pics i found of some in korea. :drool:

[Captain Bondo]

The nice thing though is the turbo's hotside isn't integrated into the exhaust manifold like some recent turbo cars, and it looks like a pretty standard mitsu td04 of some sort - upgrading will be easy. :thumbsup:


nothing it's just 5yr bumper 2 bumper and that's awesome.

Apparently the factory turbo is much smaller than the EVO one....
http://www.rwdhyundai.com/photos/coupes/genesis_coupe_turbo.jpg

so chipping it to 300HP is physically impossible. To get to EVOX power you are going to need a turbo and/or intercooler swap...

[1990TSI]

easy peasy to throw a T88 on there and bump that power band up from 2600rpm to above redline!


I gotta figure out how hyundai feels about warranty and changing key parts like turbo and fuel system etc.

[Captain Bondo]

big time.
Man I'd love to build a stainless header/turbo kit for one of these things.

And from what I remember you're 110% capable to do that... hmmmm
I got a friend who want's to build a 3" dual exhaust, I guess who I know who'll will build a manifold, D/P ;)

the Hyundai badge ruins the whole car.

why didn't they bring the Genesis brand? I heard that Hyundai was trying to bring the Genesis brand here just like Lexus, Acura and Infiniti.

Totally. If I buy this thing, the badge will be the first thing to go. What should I put in its place?
