My thread for the '03 3.2TL

For the people that don't wanna click the link above...
Drove this around for about 2 years while going through various wheels...



then after having to do a smog check and signs of transmission failures.. i parted out. Went to carmax for a quote and got 4,000 for it...

looked around.. wanted a black gen coupe 3.8 with navi in 6MT but they were all out... next container would be on the 23rd.. i couldn't wait and wanted to get rid of my TL after finding out it was only worth 4,000......

found myself a nice white Gen Coupe 3.8 Track w/ Navi in 6MT. =]











moment of truth....


6MT with Navi. =]




anywho..

 

Awesome... Congrats..

So whats the first mod?? clearing headlights or lowering or wheels??

 

Looks sharp!

 

:theghey: I liked you TL better

 

knowing how sick your TL was I can't wait to see this when its "done"

 

can't wait to see your setups. damn!

oh and your TL looked so funny stock. I thought it was someone else posting!

 

congrats

 

Nice pick up..... Full details as you drive it.

 

no ground lighting! and no...curtains in the windows? (is that what im looking at!?!? good lord, man)

 

who woulda thought.....
Congrats!

 

That interior is sweet.

 

So how is it?

Review?

 

i seen one with a really nice aftermarket grille u should look it up...the car looks grreat

 

I drove the V6 6MT at a Hyundai event and TOTALLY loved it. Nice pickup; congrats!!!

 

Congratulations! The Genesis looks very sharp. Please update this thread as you start your mods.

 

That Hyundai looks pretty damn good!

 

I knew you were up to something when you only posted pictures of your Genesis in FM3

Congrats on the purchase man, that's a gorgeous car.

 

Nice pickup, interior is hot.

 

congrats!

 

liking the car but not really liking the spoiler it comes with.

 

Congrats! post up a review of it after you've had it for a while. interested to see what you like/dislike about it.

 

how much did u pay?

 

i cant wait for the MMC. i wish they would change the front end so i can buy one used in a year

 

Congrats!!

I was looking at this when I was in the market! I loved it when I test drove it!

 

Looks great! You got the best color too. Only thing I don't like is the grille and the interior seems a bit austere (looks like a lot of hard plastic). We definitely need a review when you get around to it!

 

Nice pickup. That car is pretty hot!

 

holy shit... I didn't notice the curtains until you mention it.

 

Gen Coupe = G37 in performance numbers

 

the car is awesome!!! there's a few problems when putting it into reverse. gotta make sure its in gear cuz sometimes, it just doesn't want to go in all the way.. uh.. theres that problem sometimes when going into 2nd or 3rd. i've heard people saying going into 5th as well.. back seats are soo small that.. when i sat there (i'm in 5'9" ish..) i had my upper body tilted to the left and my head as well.

the power is there.. maybe cuz i drove a slow TL around but the power is there. suspension feels like i'm riding on koni shocks on full stiff since the Track suspension comes with diff suspension from diff models.. but i can't complain.. it feels great on the turns.

other little things... headlights turn off when you just turn off the car so if you forget to turn it off.. no biggie.. haha... i don't need the key as much now, walk up to the door, press the black button on handle and car unlocks and locks.. push start is also

the clutch/accel takes a bit of getting used to imo.. comparing to what i've driven MT around in: 06 RSX-S, 06 6MT TL, some ford focus in 5MT my cousin left behind...

um, as to mods.. i ordered interior lights cuz... it was only $35.. haha..
future plans? not sure.. haha. i think this car is just perfect the way it is..

for now..


wellz, time to go to the dentist.

 

Congrats on the Sega Genesis!

 

close up pic of wheels + brembos? Please!

Nice Pick Up!

 

WOOT WOOT i get a test drive in it some time soon

 

ps-love the third genesis shot!

 

It's nice. I would have gone black myself but I can see white being a good choice for SoCal. I didn't know they started offering nav on the coupes

 

Great coupe.

I hope the mid-model update ditches the tacky silver hard plastic look center console, and Hyundai makes the front end more agressive looking.....those are really my only complaints on the car.

 

Great car. Enjoy in good health!

 

The mag performance numbers still show the G37 to be a better performer, particularly with regard to acceleration and handling. The only question is whether the price premium for this added performance is worth it vs the less expensive GC V8. (subjective)

 

Very nice.

 

wow Josh I didnt know you were gettin the gen coupe...

I will say that im not a big fan of these cars but if you like it thats all that matters

I will say the interior looks pretty sexy tho!!! I cant wait to see what you do with it. Have fun and please drive safe

 

thanks! haha.
thank you! 10-22 john!!!! zomg.. let me kno when you're free! we'll have a shot with scott if he picks up his "new" car. haha
i didn't kno either since it never stated on the online "build your own" thing... saw a red one at a local hyundai dealer and saw the navi. i was like.. must have.. i think the non navi looks waay to plain in the middle.. almost makes the middle silver piece just look a lot more tacky like how moog said.
yea, atleast there's a navi to "balance" the look tho.. lol.. it is kinda odd how its all black black black and poof~! big piece of silver in the middle.. but oh well, i can live with it. haha

haha, thanks carrie! =] might slap on my racingharts just to see what it looks like now..

gonna have to get some meaty tires for it tho.
