With rear-wheel drive and your choice of a 306 hp V6 engine or 212 hp turbocharged, inter-cooled engine, the Genesis Coupe is built as much for power and performance as head-turning style. Available Torsen limited-slip differential provides superior traction and handling, and 19-inch wheels and Brembo brakes top off the race-ready driving experience. With an AM/FM/XM/CD audio system, USB/iPod connectivity and Bluetooth you will have all the tech-gadget capabilities anyone would need. A nice feature, Smart Key with push-button start!
For Safety it has 6 air bags including front, side, and side curtain. Electronic stability control, ABS with electronic brake-force distribution, active front head restraints and a tire pressure monitoring system.
We’re road worthy again. Replaced the alternator, starter and while we were at we put an inexpensive stereo system in it so my son would not wear his headset again and could enjoy his music. It has an MP3 connection and plays all types of files. It’s not a “blow-you-away” stereo but it will work for now.
Hopefully we can start on fixing the body “dings” and such now that it is mostly running well. My son thinks a clutch is in it’s future but we’ll see.
Well, we’re down again. While at work the car would not start. Thought it was the alternator. We borrowed my Dad’s truck and a tow dolly from a friend and got the car home Saturday night. We worked on replacing the alternator for 4 hours the next day! Finally got it all back together, tried to crank it and nothing. We have power to everything now, but it won’t crank.
The batteries positive lead started getting hot. So we think it is either a short or bad starter. More fun!
I can’t believe I did not post the trouble we had with the clutch recently. It had come to the point where it did not engage properly at all. Over a week or so we eventually replaced the clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder. It still makes a weird sound when it is cold but it works. We’re expecting to need to replace the clutch soon as well. Yet another fun job on the Project car.
Although the 240 hasn’t taken off like we would have hoped, we have a good bit of the cars issues corrected. I think we still have a overheating issue. We had to replace the battery this weekend and when we did it blew out the brake relay switch. We replaced it and all is well, for now.
