I don't see the spec-d tail lights on your page, is it no longer available?
My man really films a car video next to a cemetery.
😆😆💀💀
I live next to one. 🤗
My genny has 123000 miles and she runs like I drove out the factory yesterday 2012 grand touring 3.8
Genny 😍
She still holding up good?
@TheLifeOfD&K I would also like to know
trash
Thats because you take care of your car. Kids abuse theirs and end up crying in blogs how their car is a money pit. Than rumours start to spread how a specific car is "bad"
I have a 2011 Gen Coupe with over 131k miles on it. It still runs like new and has been one of the most reliable cars that I have ever owned. I just added a Veloster N to my stable.
2.0 ? 3.8 ?
Agreed. I had a 3.8 that i bought with 9 miles and it was totaled while parked in 2016. it had 120k miles. problem free.
How has it held up?
I have a 2010 3.8 Touring with 226,000 miles. Lots of little stuff needs repair but it is mechanically sound. Very reliable car.
You should probably flip the fins my man, just so they function better as apposed to looking better. Either way, the kit does look sick af, keep it up 👍
I bought a manual BK2 and had second gear lock out. I purchased and installed the megan racing trans mount and it fixed the lock out. The problem is the stock trans mount cant hold any power you can literally flex it with your hands. So under power everything becomes miss aligned causing the lock out. 90 bucks and maybe 45 mins easy to do yourself.
I installed the engine leash from the 3point8 Performance and it cleared the 2nd gear lock out issue. Works great but ill be grabbing a trans mount here soon
Not true the mount itself won't fix it completely. It'll still lock you out at high rpms. To truly eliminated u need engine leash Megan mount and the solid bushing kit from ATQ. Running these on my bk2 ultimate. Shifts flawlessly
@@josevaladez100 you could be right. I dont run my car very hard yet, so at top end rpms it could still have lock out. But just getting the trans mount made it more drivable for day to day. I was getting locked out at even 4000-5000 rpm before the tran mount swap just casually driving around. I wont push my car until I get my ATQ kit. and will probably swap out the motor mounts. I dont think a leash will be necessary at that point but hey ive been wrong before so if i am ill get one.
My car had the same ticking sound issue. Changed the wheel bearings and the issue resolved.
That's a Hyundai thing, I had it happen in my accent. Replaced CV joint, nothing, replaced the wheel bearing fixed it. Hopefully a Genesis has a hub integrated bearing.
Greetings from a BK38 owner. i own this car since 9 years, loving it
The one I have (2010 )(automatic) is salvage from copart . It had 80k miles when I got it and now has 120k mostly highway miles . And the only change I did was the struts and wheel hubs .
Man you should get to 100k like.. good content and details man!!
I think if you flipped them, it would flow with the side skirts better. It just looks out of place like it is right now looking from the side
Yo bro i finally got the SFR tune for my 3.8 and a tune is a def must, get it soon! 0-60 wayyyyy better trust
Man. Hit the nail on the head with those issues. Mine is starting to get up there in miles (122k) , and its been reliable, but the water leak, the 2nd gear lockout, and the door handles paint flaking off, all have happened to me now. Gonna wrap my inside handles on the doors also. Keep up the vids. Your my go to for Genesis stuff on UA-cam. Mine is the 3.8 rspec.
I love my Genesis Coupe The whole time that I owned her she has not been my daily driver when I do take her out she gets driven hard like I said before The only issue was the differential bushings failed I replaced them with the ISR polyurethane ones and it has the fourth bushing I'm not going to lie It was a total pain to replace them
Amazing vids bro best genesis content on the tube 👍
My SPECD taillights started getting moisture in them almost exactly a year after I put them on. i think how the trunk water practically runs onto the gasket makes them fail fast. Another potential source of leeks in the trunk would be the factory spoiler gasket.
Great video my man. I'm 85K currently and bought it at 50K. Checked the history and no repairs from the first owner and none with me either. Love this thing to death.
I'm hoping to get mine this friday it's at 52k miles 3.8 rspec and of cours white lol my first just hope I can snag it
@@danielthomas4533 beautiful. But I will say one thing, if it is available for you to get then before you purchase it.. check the trunk for water damage. The genesis is notorious for water leaking into the trunk around the tail lights area. Pull out the trunk liner and check bellow the spare tire.
Also look under the car up into the rear bumper area and check the sheet metal.
If there’s any sign of water damage/rust you can probably talk them down a bit more.
Regardless, good luck! And welcome to the brotherhood (potentially) lol
@@Meekmillan ya thank you g sadly it's my first time buying life has had its hiccups where I finally able to get this far haha lame lmao
What’s it at now?
Thanks for this video cause I was doing my research on the genesis coupe bk2, if you can tho.... possible, at least continue to upload once a week cause I’ll stay subbed that way, I’m subbing to a few 3.8 bk2 and most likely others so I can get different views and different ideas, great video man much love
Bro this combination of colors goes so hard. What a beautiful car
I’ve had my 2013 track 3.8 for a year and no problems, I’d always hear people talk shit saying they ain’t reliable but I just wanted a different car. I love it
I have the same car with 6 spd,3.8 13 track ,,love it but I had a chunk of carbon on the back side of the valve on cylinder 6 break off and cause a misfire bad pulled the intake and cleaner all backside of valves, 100 k on the car , for God sake ,get a good catch can boys. use the best synth oils and 94 oct and run injector cleaners .
@@iamcyberpunk68 94 octane? U gotta run premium gas? Or regular gas just fine?
@@ryanmack3223 here in Canada that we have snow kalol Ultra 94 octane gasoline
@@iamcyberpunk68 dang that’s very high octane, u know if that like the middle priced gas the most expensive or the cheapest gas? Cuz Joe Biden is making our gas prices shoot up like crazy in the US. Not going to stop me from buying the car but if I have to buy premium that’s kind of a bummer it’s going to be over $4/gal soon
@@ryanmack3223 you don't have to buy premium for these cars however you will gain an extra 5 horsepower if you do but the computer will adjust for the often so you don't have to have high octane
I got a 2011 gen coupe 3.8, 3years old (lease back). It is now almost 12 years old and 150,000 miles and has been trouble free. I will never sell it. Love this car!
I got Megan trans mount, engine leash and ATQ short shifter with solid bushings and eliminated 2nd gear lockout. I can downshift to 2nd at 5k rpms. Feels crazy And and get loud pops
how much did those items cost? all together?
@@deathrager2404 trans mount is like $150. Leash $40 and ATQ shifter I think was like $250
So like $500 for everything. Plus like $150 labor to get it installed
you forgot about the break lamp illuminator switch it can keep the car from starting (can be over ridden by holding button for 15 sec) also kind of dangerous if people don't see you breaking. there was a recall for early cars still didn't really fix it.
The water bit in the trunk was an easy fix. I'm a mechanic took me 30seconds to find the issue and just a little permatex had no issues. The problem is in the frame lines, there's a small gap above the tailight.
try to check for some rocks in ur tire tread mine were making a ticking noise after i got new wheels. Might not be the same noise or problem but its a free fix and worth a look.
if you havent fixed your noise at the front of the car, easiest way to check a wheelbearing is to jack up the corner and try and rock the wheel left and right and up and down, it it has any play, even a little it will need a wheel bearing
My Genesis Coupe is 10 years old The only issue I had Is my rear end bushings failed
I appreciate what your trying to tell everyone about the car. I'm in the market for one as it ticks all the boxes. You need to lay off the red bull and allow some pauses and time to breathe in your videos though.
Wheel bearings make a hum when needing to be replaced.
Im Getting a 2013 3.8L GT soon 😍😍 can't wait
Damn this kit looks sick asf 🔥🔥🥵
EthanW, I am thinking about getting the 2012 3.8 Genesis Sedan. Are the coupes and sedans on the same level reliability wise?
20k+ miles in over a year and mines going strong even after a near total loss crash
146xxx on my 2010 2.slow and she's still doing good. Only issue I have is my lsd doesnt always lock. But that's me not being easy on her.
My front right makes a weird pulsing sound too. Hyundai said it's mechanically perfect. It's very strange. Hope u figure out what's wrong
Idk if you figured out if it was the bearings or not but Jack the tire up and try to wobble it. First up and down then left to right
Hey bro you gotta get you those lightweight pulleys next you can feel so much difference
Had the water leak also, and the tail light gasket deal fixed it
Had my 2011 3.8 Track for over a year and the only problem I had was the timing chain stretching.
I need your blep
Have a 2010 bk1 and currently has 85k miles (got it with 72k) has been good, but has had this code that doesn’t seem to go away. The code is p0024/p0025. The check engine light goes on and off and was wondering if anyone has had this code. Any tips help. Thanks.
Now I want one. Love the look btw
2010 coupe 3.8 track- car has been amazing for 5 years now I did have to chance co presser for ac. Other than that regular maintenance but if u get in a accident expect to pay about 3k to fix ur front bumper and shit
Anyone had problems with the break lights i cant figure out what it is ... ive checked the fuses its not that
Had my 2013 2.0T for two years now and put about 35k miles within the same time. Sitting at 96k as of now. Proper maintenance goes a long way in keeping a vehicles lifespan going.
What did you have to do to it? Just got mine last month (13 2.0t) at 100k miles.
@@sugerhitman1295 So let's see... Synthetic Oil change every 4k miles, Spark plugs, intake filter and cabin filter, trans fluid change, coolant flush, and new tires with proper alignments. Just your basic maintenance. I also got a new AC condenser and intercooler, but thankfully covered by the insurance recently. For your case, since your a new owner, I'd definitely do a coolant and trans fluid change for peace of mind. Also, I've only run 91 premium fuel since day 1. I wouldn't cheap out on gas. And finally, don't drive it like you stole each time you go out lol
PS - Warming up your motor 2-3 minutes is crucial, especially on cold days. You'll be fine, these cars are reliable with good maintenance.
@@TheePureSkillZ I work part-time at a repair shop. First thing I did was change the oil with synthetic, changed the plugs (still had the original denso plugs, I know the coils will soon need changing). I check the tranny fluid (read about the life time fluid crap) but it looked like the previous owner changed it as it looked clean. Carvana put new tires on it. I may go ahead and change the transmission fluid soon just for a peace of mind. I also only put 93 octane in her.
How’s it holding up?
@@sugerhitman1295did you still have it ? If so how has it been
Car covers help for people who don't have a garage. I have two cars in my garage and 7 cars in the driveway. Covering some of the older ones definitely helps keep the direct sun off the interior.
this car's design never get old
They have a plasti dip removal spray. But if you want to protect it you're gonna want to ceramic coat the wheels
Sick lights where did you get them?
Is A 2011 genesis coupe 2.0 r spec for 9 gs too much? Is the car reliable? 120k miles
Sick gen!
What's the brand name of your mags/rims?
Hmm that’s weird; I got a BK1 and my stock wheels are fine and no colour is peeling on the inside. Living in Montreal so winters are really hard on the wheels and summer sun is really strong on the interior but I guess tinted windows maybe helps? 🤷🏻♂️ Watched a few of your videos btw, nice car dude 👍🏻
I own a 2012 BK1 and didn't have any of the issues he listed. Must be BK2-specific.
Looking for my first car and I fell in love of this one. Such a beauty.
Did u end up getting it ?
@@DaimoMotorVlogs no, I ended up with a Camry
@@josevillegas1779 why
@@josevillegas1779 haha
Btw. If you go to Discount Tire they will get you the right hub ring size.
Broo definitely wanting a 2.0t more now 🤤
I’ve heard that most Hyundai’s are very nice brand new but don’t last because of the poor build quality. I’m not entirely sure but that could be part of the problem.
Hey man, love your videos. Just recently bought a 2013 3.8 grand touring and your channel helped me pull the trigger. Just curious if you still run the throttle controller, and if you've had any issues with it? Thanks!
Thanks man! Congrats on the genny! And yea im still running it to this day, so far its been awesome and no problems at all! I plan on keeping it on until I tune the car!
@@GenesisCoupeHUB thanks for the response! Out of curiosity, what do you have your throttle controller set to? I just installed mine and I'm trying to find a comfortable setting for daily driving. Thanks!
Im about to purchase one of the same year/trim myself, have you had any water leakage problems in tbe trunk/spare tire area or the sunroof? That or any other issues youve had with that specific model, if you're reading this thanks so much for the response!
how many miles do the 09 and 10s go up to
No idea if this will get answered but now it being 2020 and so many inexpensive cars having so many amenities like cooled seats, apple car play, and blind-spot assist, and more that I can't think of. Do ever miss those features. I drive a 2015 Kia optima sxl (the only reason I say trim is bc it comes with all those features) and I've been looking at the Genesis Coupe. I know its different for everyone, some just like a car bc of the experience others because of the interior stuff. I have my foot in both camps, I like being able to roll down the window and hear the motor but also being able to listen to music and a good sound system.
I have a 2012 genesis coupe 2.0t R-spec with 112,500 miles and she runs pretty good, has a few issues but, it's more cosmetic than actually mechanical, BUT I do have to get a new sync for the transmission. I did buy it like that so 🤷♂️
What gear? My 2.0t grinds into 5th over 4k rpm
Where’d you get the wheels?
Yoooo you are right at boonesborough by the river! You live in Richmond?
Keep it that way!!
To measure for hub rings you need a digital caliper. The stock hub on genesis coupes is 67.1mm. You need to measure the bore of the wheel. I order 3 sets unsuccessfully before measuring, save yourself time and money and measure it.
When you bought the wheels from fitment industries they should have put the wheel bore size in the order statement. Any good wheel company does. Go back to your order statement and see if you can find it.
Have any of your mods like exhaust, manifold riser, or intake caused the check engine light or any others to come on?
Nope! Only headers will
Bro your car is so clean!!! I have a question for you though? Do you have a instagram ?
Thanks man! And yessir, its @ethanweckwert
if you ever get bored and tired of that tail lights lmk !!!
Sounds like you had an unlucky one. How old is this GC? My 2016 I bought and owned since day one hasn't had any problems to this day (2016-today in terms of ownership) Not even the paint peeling or the wheel peeling. I park mine out in the hot sun too. Maybe using the sun visor for my car everyday is what saved it.
Wheel bearings - I doubt it. It has sealed bearings, so you normally wouldn't be able to "hear" the issue. Bad wheel bearings on most other cars, it would sound like a bag of marbles.
Bro let me ask you how realiable is this car wich is the best year to buy? For the 3.8? I want to finance one
After searching for an entire summer I found the perfect genesis coupe with 80,000 miles on it, clean record and 1 owner. It was for sale at some dealership in Virginia. I flew out to Virginia (from Minneapolis) and when I got to the car, I was told the car had been in a collision and been rebuilt. I test drove it and the engine didn’t feel like it was properly secured, and it shook the entire car whenever it was on, I did not think it would make the 1000mile drive home so I told the guy I wasn’t interested and we left. We were then stuck in Virginia but luckily there was another 2012 bk1 just a mile away so we got an Uber and checked it out. This one felt a lot smoother but had 120000 miles on it which was a little more than I would have liked. He wanted 11,000$ for it and we got him down to 8500$ and it made the drive home. Overall I love the car but it has had 2 expensive repairs in the 5 months I have owned it.
Is it expensive to maintain and parts?
what repairs did you have to do
Bump
What repairs did u have to do
If you have to keep it on the sun, just protect the interior plastics and trims with the rigth products :)
Throw a tarp over that BIHH lol
Have you ever heard of one that Boggs down in forward but runs great in reverse
3.8 or 20T?
That Genesis looks really good
I’m late but what wheels are those
You need that new grille.
i had a 2013 genesis coupe for the past 3 years and have literally only spent money on oil changes
When are you going to upload a new updated mod list with the prices ?
Was actually planning to do that soon!
Price?
Im the 1000th like ☺️☺️😂 nice video!!
My genny has the same problem with the shaking and that’s the only problem
you should mod that front bumper. i did mine at it took about 3 to 4 hours but it looks so much better.
What do you mean ?
good content :)
do you have the brand of spoiler and diffuser? also slave cylinder on standard goes out....
Ive got an street aero diffuser and the spoiler is carbon creations!
I’d say just leave it. They look dope!
I've had my gen coupe for 11 years (bought new) , and have never had paint pealing off the stock wheels. I daily it all year round... I live in snow country.
how many miles ?
I am confused between the Genesis coupe (2013-2016) and Accord V6 coupe (2013-2017), both automatic. Which is better for a college student?
Reliability wise the accord will betto
The car looks good the way it is
I’m trying to get a genesis with around 83k miles
How does the automatic transmission hold up when you go FBO with E85
Fine but it really doesn't make much off of fbo e85 you'd be making maybe about 350whp max so you dont have much to worry about!
For looks, fins dont matter where they go. The fins are supposed to stick out in the flow of air to be functional. Personal opinion: the more perfomance things you add to your car that arent going to be used as intended, the uglier it looks.
Good thing it’s not your car
@@baconheadhair6938more like, "too bad" its not my car. Lol.
Jokes aside, im just glad it doesn't have ridiculous camber.
Yeah the point of it sticking past the tires is legalities. The tires can't be the widest. It only takes one pissed off statey
Hey man what kind of spoiler do you have on the genny?
Carbon Creations track style spoiler!
Can you do some donuts in the next video?
Hey man looking at these for my first car I know this might be a personal question but how much do you spend on insurance is it more expensive then ur average 4 door sedan ?
I talked a bit about it in the video but I pay about $150 a month for insurance, however this wasn't my first car so since it would be yours id say ittle be a bit more for sure, compared to a 4 door id say maybe $100ish a month more but im not certain. Itd make an awesome first car bro if you get one let me know!
ethanW will do man I’m looking at one now for only about 4,500 with 90k miles on it guy says it just has a ticking noise with the motor which is something I think you mentioned in the video so who knows
I don't even have to watch this to answer that. YES.
Why wouldn’t you say the year and miles? Like the problems are irrelevant if we don’t know what age it happened
Traded my 2015 audi S3 106K for
2010 3.8 track with 66K
Lower miles and lower payments.
I'm pretty much gonna baby the shit out of the gc.
Any tips what's the best oil etc...
Definitely not tracking it but...if the motor feels reliable I may drag strip just to get some numbers
12years later 🙂 in a 2010 in 2022.
Wtf...lol
If you don’t mind me asking, cause I’m soon buying one, about how much does your insurance run?
About $150 a month!
