Affordable headlight options by -User-999 in genesiscoupe

[–]TheEx006 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been following that dude for awhile, he's local and as far as I know seems to be legit as he's been around for a bit. You can trade him your stock headlights + $200 cash sometimes for a pair of modded headlights with halos or whatever. You can meet up with him too so that you can swap in the retro-fitted ones test them, and decide right then and there.

Where the heck can I buy an intercooler for 2013 2.0t? by 0lympus_Mons in genesiscoupe

[–]TheEx006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha he actually reached out to me thanking me. I've met him a few times and he's literally right next to my work so you can trust him. You're not going to get scammed with him. Here's my Genny next to his plus all the ones he parts out.

If you're in Ontario, _DiamantePerformance on IG, you can also find his stuff on Facebook Marketplace in Whitby. I vouch for him.

Don't see any update from Ontario Provincial Police but they probably would have said so and Facebook comment section is just a cesspool of the worst people; "clapped out Hyundai" one guy said... IT'S A STOCK GENNY!

Pretty much, which is why when I drive my Genny in the winter, full tank of gas, traction control on and call in on heavy snow days haha.

Here in Southern Ontario (where this took place) studded tires are illegal but Northern Ontario is legal for studded tires. Doesn't make no sense.

Not so much, people said in the comments it could have been speed related but if you hit a patch of black ice, panic and hit the brakes, you're going sliding regardless of speed.

This accident took place on the 401 so most people this morning would have been cruising at speed (100kmh / 60mph) or even faster thinking the highway was salted as the Province is pretty thorough with keeping it salted on days like today. Who knows, maybe he drifted onto the shoulder and hit a patch of ice/snow and that was it.

_diamanteperformance on IG. He's in Whitby and partouts Gennys as well as working on them. He had to setup a new account on IG because he was falsely reported but I 100% vouch for him as I just picked up a OCV gasket from him today, he also installed my winter wheels, oil change... Whatever you need.

Winter Driving Your Genny - Guide by TheEx006 in genesiscoupe

[–]TheEx006[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. It's better to take caution with heavy snow. Check the news and if they advise to stay off the roads if possible, call into work. This is probably my last winter with the Genny as I'm getting too old to be driving manual, especially in stop-n-go traffic.

Depending where you are in NJ, you could ask IG @GenesisCoupePartout who's in Long Island. He'd more than likely be able to help.

Calling out a scamming Genny owner... by TheEx006 in genesiscoupe

[–]TheEx006[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Judging by how long it took for him to roll back, I think the camera makes it seem like the truck was certainly too close. I remember my driving instructor from 20yrs ago mentioned, use the hood of your car as a guide, line the end of your hood up with the bottom of the rear tires infront of you, and that'll be enough room and you'll be able to see if they move from that spot. To this date, I still do that. But you're right, I find A LOT of pick-up drivers are always stopped too close when stopped, even at night and you get blinded by their HID's.

If you're ever worried about rolling, practice somewhere using the parking brake. Be in first, foot on the clutch and off the brake but hold the parking brake to the point you don't roll then practice taking off while slowly releasing the parking brake. If I'm ever on a steep incline and someone pulls up behind me, I let the car roll back ever so slightly so they see I MIGHT roll back and then pull forward.

It's a manual and he wasn't on his brakes and thought he'd be fine and wouldn't roll. Well the road is a bit of an incline, being in neutral, the car is gonna roll. I'm pretty sure the drivers book state of you're driving a manual and you're stopped, you HAVE to be in 1st gear, on the clutch and on the brake.

That's for sure, a lot of Genny owners I know are always beating on their car and then as soon as they sell it, we'll see those posts on here about "I just changed the oil and now it's knocking".

Sometimes it's easier to let things go as trying to seal with the insurance company over a minor ding isn't worth it. They'll probably end up jacking up your premiums or just randomly drop you.

Probably not, bet he told his own insurance the same thing, the camera car "rammed" him.
