Sick car I really like it thinking of getting a 2014 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 Ultimate in manual so thanks for the video man
Thanks man glad it could help
Like the car. I have the 2015 ultimate and I enjoy it. I got my doors replaced under warranty at 50k and have 80k now. I'm also doing the exact carbon fiber inside that you mentioned
Thank you and nice yea I wanna go carbon too but I'm thinking of just doing it all at once vs just doing it piece by piece. I'm at 90k now and it's still going good.
Your friend with the Subaru STi probably asked Santa for head gaskets this year 😂
Probably those damn ej25 boys
I was able to pop out the hood scoops and spray paint them black again with paint from Autozone, I wasnt expecting much since it was the first time using spray paint but after 3 coats they look brand new!
I thought of doing that but I'm having split decisions. I kinda want a carbon hood honestly
@@RspecNick Hey if you have the excuse I'd take it! 😂👍🏻
@@ripjuiceman8009 lol I'm looking for excuses just to do it 🤣
@@RspecNick Well best of luck on the install if ( When) you do it 😂👍🏻 would live to see how it would look on your genny
@@ripjuiceman8009 oh for sure man I'll keep the channel updated on it.
cut the hood vents with a dremel the holes are there in the hood.I added mesh metal screens from the back side , looks stock and functional now.no hood liner anymore or engine cover.holds the heat.
I thought about it cause honestly it's not hard to cut the holes out
I bought mine new in 2012 and I drive it every day. Now I have 244.000 km on the clock. I follow all is the recommended service intervals and never had an issue.... The driver seat needs new leather....
Just bought my genesis 3.8 ultimate today can't wait to pick it up next week.
Hopefully you enjoy it 👌
I have the BK1 3.8 coupe and I wanna get the BK2 2.0 or 3.8 with the 6 speed. How do you like yours so far?
How is it so far
@@fatdomgomiello720 Why would you want to get a 2.0 its reliability is not good
@@RspecNick I love it man had it for a year now and I haven’t had any problems.
Also start taking care of these cars cuz there coming to high demand in dealerships and there values are going up specially the bk2 3.8 my cousin is a car collector and has a ton of cars this car already cought his eyes and he found one a 2015 genesis coupe 3.8 Gt 8 speed automatic with only 4900 miles super clean car garaged kept always still smells like new my cousin got it for 14k cash he got a massive deal so another car in his collection.
For sure and that sounds like a solid deal.
My slow ass thought "what's a cabanera filter?, ohhhhhhhh lol"
how do you feel about headlights? They are sooo dim!!!! Switched out low beams to leds but still not that bright....
My 2013 base 2.0T has 85k on it and it’s a great car. I put Mobil 1 synthetic in mine. Maybe it’s time for a change
How's the maintenance on this car now? Is it still going strong??
That shifter ball weighs 4 pounds dude I went with the white q ball mush better threads down a lot more then the stock one ,,,shortens the shift huge.
more videos bro yes sir
I cant wait to see what your doing next man
was looking at buying one of these but had a question, do these things used come with warrantys or do I have to purchase one myself, was looking at getting a 2013+ model with 55k or less miles
If you get it from a dealer it should come with a 3rd party warranty. If you buy from a person tho hyundai only backs the car to 60k miles or 5 years. So if you find a 2013 with 50k miles its gonna fall out of hyundais warranty because of the cars age.
2016 BK2 3.8L 6MT , I pay $280 for insurance full coverage in the state of CA. I’m 20 with 0 speeding tickets. I fully recommend the car, mines at 99k miles and is working like brand new
Thanks for the feedback and I'd completely recommend someone buy one as well. Even after I blew mine up I'd still recommend one. I finally blew mine up at 103k miles but completely my fault sliding it hard and pushing it causing rod knock.
280$ ?! Damn I pay $120 for my 2015 3.8L Ultimate in CA & I have a speeding ticket 🥴 what insurance do u have ?
@@alyssaaguayo4653 USAA
@@alyssaaguayo4653 no tickets, just got a Muffler delete and 0 noise complaints this far
@@alyssaaguayo4653 idk if in SD it differs
I run mobile one.would it br okay to change the oul type next time?maybe castrol?
Yea you can change it. I'm honestly thinking of switching to Amsoil they have decent lab results.
Only problem I got is sixth gear grind, but I get around it by double clutching, other than that, 80k miles strong as well
I honestly just shift alittle slower 5th to 6th and it doesnt do it.
Had my 2013 3.8 r.spec engine replaced due to a spun bearing, it was covered by warrenty at 26k
It took the dealer 11months to get it back
I believe that they are crazy backed up with motor replacements and other work. Mine is just out of the warranty
I change my oil every 1000km now, takes me 4 months to drive that much. Park it for winter now
I'll be storing mine away in the winter too and driving my subaru this year
Do you know if these 3.8 are faster than a G37s coupe? I had a G37s but I never got the chance to race one. I'm also talking stock vs stock not tuned
I raced a g35 and beat it pretty good so I imagine a g37 would still be a win.
@@RspecNick Do you know what year the G35 was? Like older G or a newer rev up one? because the older ones have 260 hp 270 torque and the new ones have like 298hp and 270 torque
@@UrbanLegend911 I wanna say it was a 07 g35 with intake and exhaust.
Hey, trying to buy a genesis coupe 2.0 2014 for around like 17k, it has 60k miles flat. But it has an accident check, i bought the carfax and says it was front damage, with moderate damage, the tittle is clean, the front of the car looks clean and so does the engine bay according to the pictures. You think it would be worth it? Gonna take a homie of mine to test drive it, he says we should be fine 🙏 what are your thoughts on it? And any tips? 🙏
The 13-14 2.0Ts are definitely the better 2.0. Honestly I almost got a 2.0T Rspec but changed my mind last minute. Hints to the name on youtube,IG so on. Honestly it doesnt sound like a bad deal tho as long as it was fixed right the miles sound good as well. The 14 is the better one as well with the carbon coated syncros if it's a manual. What's the trim on it?
U can get a cheap one bro also if u can get a warranty take it , I take mine 2 years ago a couple problems the warranty covert but I did my oil changes and then my engine is gone and I’m with 64k milles only so now I have to replace it by myself
@@alexanderalvarado7864 the 2.0 likes to blow up. Hyundai had to recall 1.4 mil vehicles with their theta engine
I am at 155500km .bought it with 150k high for these cars but motor is strong.
How is it holding up now? Im buying one with the same amount om kms
@@T_Ralphhh that fucking car is bulletproof brother
The car is Bulletproof
Change your oil every 5,000 km and use quality oil and filters
I beat the bag off of mine and it runs like a champ
What tint did you use for your headlights?
A tint shop did it for me but its 3M 20%
Hearing the common problems with a manual transmission is kinda steering me away from buying a manual 😥
It's really not too too bad alot of the issues can be fixed relatively cheap
@@RspecNick well that’s good then. Cuz I’m testing driving a 2016 manual r-spec with 78k miles on it tomorrow. It’ll also be my first time driving a genesis coupe so I hope everything goes well.
@@dabussy6001 it's a fun car and the Rspec is the lighter version too. Megan trans mount and swap fluids and that helps like 90% of the trans issues plus 15 and 16 has the better syncros
Just bought a 2013 one recently, can confirm parts are relatively cheap and can be reliable if you take care of it.
So I’m buying a 2.0 2011 driven only 121k miles. It’s salvage but it’s the door nothing huge, automatic as well. wanting to know is it reliable? The most I’m doing with the car is swerving few cars in freeways, doing pulls nothing crazy like donuts, drifts etc. I‘ll be driving it chill a lot of the time and it is my first car, I’m not really gonna beat the car up since it is daily as well just few pulls here and there nothing huge as I said. Is it worth buying? Also the only things I’ll be changing is things very small like tint windows, louder exhaust, small interior changes but absolutely nothing huge like change add anything to the engine or make it any faster. I just want something sport to drive daily to my job, school, gym etc and hang with friends
Edit: I heard the car leaks a lot of water, I also heard when you take the car on a wash the water gets in through the tail light and when there’s water inside and it’s a hot day out it can ruin the tail lights. I also heard there is vibrating on steering wheel going 70 mph. Are these problems I’ll see from the way I’ll be driving it?
Yea if you do what your talking about with it it should last just keep up on maintenance. And yes the taillight gaskets like to leak alot and the vibration around 65-70mph does happen usually you can resolve it tho with a good vibration and balance
@@RspecNick appreciate the reply!! I’ll update you when I buy it. It’s 7k but I’m pretty sure I can negotiate down specially when it’s salvage title. I’ll have mechanic check out the car as well ofc for any oil leaks, tire problems etc
@@bamly2314 yea that's what I'd do drop the price alittle more. That's a smart move too having the car looked over. Other then that tho it should last awhile.
@@bamly2314 update? Lol I’m just interested bc I’m in the same situation as you right now
Dude people just hate on these cars because they don’t have them. They jelly boi
I actually like mine so I can't complain
I have the same as you 13 track 6 speed I had a piece of carbon break off the back of the valve cylinder 6 and 2 were real bad I use synth oil and 94 ultra gas, add a catch can for sure dude.
Yea I believe that im running catch cans now tho the passenger bank pushes out alot of oil I'm averaging alittle over 1/3 cup of oil every 6500 miles
@@RspecNick okay good to know time in Canada Ontario so my car is put away for the winter I just put the can on over the Christmas holidays so I haven't had a chance to use it yet
@@RspecNick I picked up a throttle controller to which I haven't installed yet
@@iamcyberpunk68 catch can is definitely worth it for sure wait till you see how much oil it catches. I've heard the controllers arent bad either.
@@RspecNick well brother I agree with you people give Hyundai a bad rap and the Genesis Coupe is a really nice car very dependable you can beat the piss out of it and it holds up and like you said do your regular maintenance and you can abused the car somewhat with very few issues
Where'd you get the digital gages??
Prosport has them they are the Prosport evolution 52mm gauges.
Why do people hate it just because it’s made by Hyundai? It’s a great car for the price. Can someone explaining to me why?
Its because it's a hyundai so its seen more as a cheap knock off of the nissan Z family. Also hyundai is still carrying the weight of trash cars because back in the day hyundai didn't make the best vehicles.
Everytime I take it to a different mechanic they always say the car sucks or hey man the car you got there is expensive which sucks because I’m not a car person and I wouldn’t want to spend more money than what I got it for.
Yea I've heard a few things like that before too. The sad part is they really aren't even that bad to be honest. As long as you stay away from donuts and long burn outs usually they hold up good.
i had a 2.0 in july and it blew up a week later after i got it :/ .. im gettin a 3.8 in about a month or so but im lowkey second guessing it cause of these blow up problems
I hang around 3 3.8s and 2 2.0ts none of us 3.8s have blown up but the one 2.0T blew up twice
What does it mean by blowing up please
@@musiclovercj5722 engine failure
What caused the blow up? Was it modified?
@@novachrono2236 bearing failure the car was only had intake,catback,intercooler and tuned.
how did u swap out the gauges inside?
You dremel out the OEM bezels to just under 52mm so the gauges fit in the holes but snug.
My '13 elantra having same problem with the interior
It's a hyundai thing really most of them have cheaper interiors.
what is the diffuser you have
It's the street aero rear diffuser
should I get a 2.0T or 3.8 Coupe ??
Depends what your goals are and if you want to hear turbo noises. The 3.8 has decent power out of the box and FBO+Tune makes it a super fun car for a daily
What insurance you using for 148 and 500 deductible?
Progressive it's now 165 a month for genny with full coverage and the 92 subaru svx with limited.
I like you rims on it what size are?
Tires were
275-40/19 for the rears and then
245-40-19 for the front.
I ended up rubbing alittle in the back so I ended up switching it up to 35 sidewalls
My door handle on my 2014 still looks new 🤔 135k miles
Did you buy the car brand new ?
@@RspecNick yea i bought it new
@@2538159408 your probably one of the few guys I've talked to who hasn't had the handles fall apart. A couple guys on the forums actually said hyundai was replacing them under warranty but I had no luck with it. Mine have been like that since 50k miles
Jus curious is this cosidered a sports car for insurance purposes?..
yes it’s an entry level sports car
Do you think a 2013 3.8 r spec with 100k miles is too much?
Honestly my 13 3.8 has 102k on it now and it would still be running great if I didn't blow it up. They are great cars just don't do donuts and you should be fine and keep an eye on the oil levels they like to eat oil
@@RspecNick thanks for the chick reply! Follow up, I’m planning on paying 17k for it(manual btw) you think that’s a good deal or no?
@@Drastic_oG what's all done to it and what's the service history on it? That sounds a bit steep to me but then again this car market now is wild
@@Drastic_oG also what's the trim level Rspec or track
@@RspecNick that does seem high for a 2013 with 102,000 when I bought my 2010 BK1 3.8 coupe back in 2019 it had 99,000 miles on it and I paid 8,995
Bought one , haven’t had it for even 6 months & it’s already needing engine work from a dealership.... rod bearings , oil pump, clutch, cam shaft , axles smh bought from a lemon dealership
Bk1 or bk2 and is it the 2.0T or 3.8
@@RspecNick bk2 3.8
@@RspecNick & to make it worse I work at an auto parts store & no one has shit in stock. Everything has to be ordered online about a week out so that makes everything take longer. My cars been out a month but should be up at the end of this weekend or beginning next weekend
@@xBean7. oooo yea man I feel you on the parts portion I need a few things and all of them take about 1 week from the dealer even. That sucks tho man was it low on oil when all that happened
@@RspecNick no. I did an oil change like 2 months ago, but it was the 6.03 quarts it needed so I was confused. Only thing I could think of was the oil pump went out so it just shot the rod bearings up dry making it blow up 2 of them.
I found an unmolested 3.8 for 13k and just wanna know if it's reliable.
As long as you don't bounce off the limiter they are burn outs and donuts seem to kill them out from oil starvation
Wait U only pay 150 insurance I was thinking way more
Yea man I only pay 150 a month with full coverage with a 500 dollar deductible
@@RspecNick wow tryna get a gen for my first car u think it’s a good option
@@__EDGE__ honestly there not bad cars I daily mine and I'm on the east coast in Pennsylvania so I go through snow,ice so on and it drive decent on all seasons. Just jeep up on maintenance and you should be fine
@@RspecNick do you know how much these are for 18 year olds to own?
@@dan-oh4hv it would honestly depend on your driving history crashes speeding tickets so on. I know if I would have gotten the car when I had 2 traffic violations going through a red light and not stopping for a stop sign along with a 60 in a 40. They wanted 460 a month for insurance. That's why I waited until my record cleared up cause that's expensive for insurance.
probably not buying the car to push it to the limit
What's your ig bro?
Rspec Nick. I tried to keep my social media all the same 👌
Where do you get your insurance bro
Progressive is who I have for the Genny and Subaru
Automatic or clutch?
Manual
@@RspecNick what if I don’t know anything about it? Should I still get one?
@@fredochikan8021 When I didnt know how to drive a Manual I just bought one and learned myself. Once you have one it's either you learn it or you give up and sell it. Driving manual isnt hard at all

Big rip man front end collision? That usually totals them out
damn bro
@@RspecNick yeah, front right side is just crushed.
I honestly think it’s salvage since it’s gonna need frame work and I just ordered isr race exhaust for it.
@@viper3758 I'm honestly scared to crash the genesis cause I know they get totaled out so fast. That would suck are you gonna get another one or just move onto another car.

Is 105k for 7.8k good
Thats not too bad is that for a bk2 or bk1?
@@RspecNick bk1 and it is an older lady that owns it also 1 owner I’m pretty sure
@@huh645 doesnt sound to bad honestly I'd probably try to get them down to 7.5k tho cause bk2s you can find with lower miles for around 12k
@@RspecNick Ik that’s what I was thinking so idk
@@huh645 honestly if it came down to it just wait it out and you could easily find a bk2 for like 2k more then what that lady wants and most times they have mods done to them so you could really make out on that deal.
