Interesting. I wonder if they will make a PC version for it.

Rick_TL-S

They have. A few folks say the PC version even looks a bit better & runs smoother (computer-giving of course).

NAiL05

Thats good. I prefer to play those games on PC =D. Only few games I play on my PS2 are Sims such as Gran Turismo, Tourist Trophy and so on.

^^^thanks for posting that info Nail!

^^^ Nice!! I've seen Tiesto and Van Buuren a few times back when I was up north. Both are magic and they put on a hell of a show!! I'm definitely going to try and catch one them! Thanks again for the info!

Rick_TL-S

I'm afraid to say I'm being tempted by the dark side. After looking through them, I've come to really like the Genesis Coupe...and I want one.

NAiL05

They are nice. I like the 4 banger turbo one. Funny thing is that engine layout is pretty much identical to an sr20det from the silvias lol.

Rick_TL-S

I can't decide which is best. Both engines are producing huge numbers from aftermarket! I've heard 1 company has gotten 460 out of the 4-banger.

NAiL05

Oh yea of course. I think you can modify some SR20 parts to fit on the car haha. Thats the funny part. Either way I like the coupe its not a bad car for the price.

Rick_TL-S

Well, the Genesis Coupe is kind of like the car Nissan should have built to begin with after the 240SX/Silvia/etc.

NAiL05

Yea they shoulda too bad they stopped the 240 in the us but continued the silvia and got rid of the lineup. So whos going to C/C and cupcake meet next saturday? If we go to cupcake meet I can reserve a spot there for the TL people to park. Just let me know.

NAiL05

I hate how I cannot edit my posts but another thing...we are thinking about going to dallas raceway on sunday weather pending. So far it seems nice so far. But its 20 to run and 10 to spectate. Let me know if anyone is interested!

Rick_TL-S

That's the plan for me.

Silver Bullet

I posted about it earlier and I was enjoying the video of the car. It's definitely worth investigating.

Here is the link to their site. http://www.hyundaigenesis.com/coupe/
Very well done and I've run that track playing Forza Motorsports on the Xbox 360.

NAiL05

I forgot to add they had a genesis test drive a while back at TMS. That was pretty cool lol but I didnt post it on here.

Rick_TL-S

Yeah, I've been searching their site a lot lately. Can't even decide what color I'd like. White, Red, Blue, decisions!

Right now though, can't get Rockwall Hyundai to respond back to me on what they have available.

NAiL05

Track day on Sunday is cancelled just sayin its moved for next week.

NAiL05

Crap tomorrow is the deadline for reserving a spot at Cupcake meet after cars and coffee. Anyone feel like going? I probably am but if you are let me know.

Rick_TL-S

I'm game.

NAiL05

Comeon lets represent some TL's can't only be 2 people goin lol.

NAiL05

I only reserved 4 or 5 spots. Prob not a big TL turnout by the looks of it. I think I know of 1 thats coming along with me so there will still be 2 more open spaces if rick comes. Should be an interesting meet with a guesstimation of about 500 cars or so.

RUF87

. . . sorry NAiL, I'm already over commited for Saturday . . . but if something changes between now and Friday I'll let you know.

Ruf

NAiL05

Its cool. Track Sunday then =D lol.

RUF87

Where is this 'auto shop' you work at after school and what type of services do you have?

I need a 2nd brain to look at a couple of things . . . some weird stuff going on and I can't put my finger on it.

Ruf

NAiL05

lol its in my friends garage (the one with the GS). Whats wrong with it?

RUF87

Not quite sure . . . at first I thought it was suspension or drive train related, but I've played with it some and it doesn't happen all the time. Now I'm thinking it's air/fuel/exhaust related . . anyway, under acceleration there's a slight vibration feedback and it almost feels like it's loading up. It's more noticable in higher gears, but sometimes you can feel it in 1st and 2nd.

The first thing I need to do is fix the exhaust leak so I can rule out a possible CAT problem. I need to take it to my brother and have him weld it up. Once that's maybe I can have you check it out.

Ruf

NAiL05

Interesting. Depends on where the exhaust leak is that can be an issue. Fix that and see what happens. Exhaust leaks can tamper with newer electronics not such a fun thing.

RUF87

Yeah, was wondering about that so that's why I want to fix it first before trying all sorts of other things. Anyway, since it' about 9yrs old I'm thinking of replacing the O2 sensors while I'm at it. What do you think about this claim from AEM?

AEM Oxygen Sensor
Universal - Fits all vehicles -- AEM BOSCH WIDEBAND UEGO REPLACEMENT SENSOR, 5-WIRE -- 0-5 V, thread-in mounting style, low current draw; Wiring harness included; Measures from 11:1 AFR to atmospheric air and a response time of less than 100 milliseconds; Features an integrated heater element that warms up in less than 20 seconds, PTFE insulators that withstand temperatures up to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit and the latest Nernst cell or oxygen pump hybrid technology and planar configured zirconium dioxide sensor; Has much more accurate AFR readings than OEM sensors; With AEM's limited 1-year.

The 'more accurate AFR readings' caught my eye.

Anybody going to Cars and Coffee this Saturday? Despite the long ass drive for me, I might actually make the trip this month after seeing Nail's pics from the last meet. I'd love to see a bunch of those cars up close and meet up with yall.

RUF87

I have more info on the problems I'm having. Took it to Autozone to do a free ODB scan and it came back with the following code 'P0420'.

- catalyst system efficiency below threshold bank 1 : possible cause(s)\
1) faulty catalytic converter
2) A/F mixture problem (too rich or lean)
3) air leak near heated Ho2S (heated o2 sensor)
4) ignition system failure (1 or more miss fires)

Okay, I was sort of suspecting some of this and will need to resolve any possible issues with #3, which could be as a result of the flex pipe exhaust leak. Once that is done and the problem still exists I'll need to put it on a scope to see what's going on . . . fun fun . .

Ruf

RUF87

I plan on being there around 8:15/8:30 . . problems and all.

Ruf

NAiL05

I will be at the meet. RUF if you know where the exhaust leak is fix it. If those codes come back up my best guess would be the o2 sensor itself starting to go on its way out. I would recommend getting an OEM one if that does happen. As for the AEM UEGO its nice but its more for tuning. The problem with leaving WB o2's in the exhaust stream is that they deteriorate a lot faster than your normal o2 sensor so you will be spending about 60 bucks to replace the sensor everytime from autozone or oreillys (they stock the AEM wideband o2;s its a universal unit). But if you want to read more accurate go for it. Its a nice unit. You will need to weld another o2 bung in your exhaust system to mount the aem.

Silver Bullet

I'll be at the cars&coffee but not sure about the cupcake event yet.

horsepowercrzy18

Il be there saturday for cars and coffee! wheres the cupcake meet going to be held at?

NAiL05

Saigon mall in Garland.

Rick_TL-S

Cupcake meet is now a maybe. Some other arrangements have come up.

Rick_TL-S

Plans fell through. I'll see you there Nail.

NAiL05

Nice. We have 3 cars and two more open spots lol. If anything I can see if the creator of the meet can make more room if we get more people.

krazykrnboi

im going to the cupcake meet, but not a tl
