HCOC The Hyundai Coupe Owners Club ®And Forums

Hi All,

If all goes to plan will be picking up my Ser III next week, have been a member her previously but couldn't seem to log on. been a long time ! Previously I had a Ser I 2.0 SE in metallic red , then a Ser III in pillar box red (excuse the colour references forgotten the proper names) and have now put a deposit down on a silver IIIa.

Don't know why I sold the last two as I can't think of anything that went wrong with them , hope the "new" one's the same, its done 66000 miles, 2006 so supect its on its original timing belt

Right I now remember (?) I got my terminology wrong , had a Gen 2 and Gen 3 now getting a Gen 3.5

back to the forum

back

Thanks for the welcome, will post up a pic as soon as I get it - and it stops raining..........

Really trying to remember why I sold my old ones, looks good, cheap to buy, previous ones were reliable and mpg not bad

Welcome

Hi Ian and back to the forum and coop ownership

Hello

Welcome back

Yep all good so far , changed the coolant as it looked suspiciously like water , might have been clear anti freeze but I suspect not ! The remote fob that came with the car did not work , so that went to someone on FB who wanted a fob and I fitted an Ebay remote locking kit - worked like a charm once I was brave enough to chop into that yellow lead . Would have been better if I hadn't taken out the "room" fuse with my cutters shorting the feed , will use the insulated handle ones next time ....

Seem to have "accidently " bought a Gen 3 V6 with a blown engine as I needed a couple of bits for mine , er top cover off the seatbelt and an ariel to replace the useless bee sting - Mrs did not seem to think that was justification for some reason ;-)

Good to be back in a coop

My Gen 3 V6 turned up this afternoon and it looks not bad at all , my neighbour came out to find out what it was ! Its obv been sitting for a while and while the battery looked new it was completely flat , jump starting it from another battery took a while but it eventually fired up :-)

With a lot of smoke , rattles and a growing pool of oil under the car , think a rod has made a break for freedom ! Which is prob good as it stops me trying to save it and I can get some bits for my 3.5 . Its got 3/4 tank of fuel in it , a DAB radio , 17" wheels etc so shouldn't cost me much in the end - hopefully !

Welcome mate.

My drive is getting busy !
so good job I'm not bidding on another 3.5 or I'll be in trouble ............

What other car can you buy that looks so good for £100 ?

Shame the engine's knackered though ...........!

100 quid????? REALLY?!?!

Yep , well if I don't include the recovery of £60 , shame really as arches etc don't have any rust , front of the bonnet has rust but rest of it is pretty good . But with a blown engine and the cheapest s/h one being £250+ it looks like it doesn't have much of a future

Even with a secondhand engine that's amazing value. Car looks stunning.

Do you intend to repair or break for parts?

The pics probably flatter it a bit as usual , its got some scrapes to the bumpers and a crease in the passenger door but still a good looking car .It's a shame but I'm probably going to take some bits off for my 3.5 then see if I can break/sell the rest but can see the wheels etc are going to be sellable but that leaves me with a shell stuck on the drive !

I like the idea of a rear wheel drive conversion but its not going to happen - takes me long enough to touch in a stone chip !

When I see cars like this one for £700 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/05-HYUNDAI-CO ... 2286071789
I can't see my red one being viable for a replacement engine when you can buy an up and running one for so little ? Daft value compared with anything else .

Looks like you could probably fit a couple more coupés on there

That's what I said but I was told that I was wrong , some sort of female logic I couldn't figure
