This is going to be a fixer upper for me, just picked her up
An 03 in black this is a gen3 Hyundai coupe 2.0, may not be to everyone's taste on here but I love briskoda too much to leave lol, I'll get some pics tommorrow but has full leather, cruise, air con, electric windows etc. so much car for the money.
Specs are not too shy either around just under 140bhp and 0-60 in 9 secs not gonna set the world alight but good enough

A load of cool gauges as standard

Done 117k but was too cheap to refuse,

Did a full service today just need leads and got the three (yes that right three auxillery belts) lol to change

One of the exhaust tips was rotten and fell off after vigorous cleaning, so looks like the modding will begin earlier then I thought

Just go, leave now.

Always liked these - you taking the mods to the same level as the vRS?

Do the gen 3 models have 4 scaff poles for suspension like the gen 2 models do

Miss mine. I had the v6, with a cheeky eaton strapped onto it!

Did a little thing today think it looks a million times better then it was before,

Wrapped the fuel cap

Before with terrible matt paint and flaking

Completed

Fitted

Proper 3m stuff so I'll see how it lasts hopefully won't peel on the edges

Also picked up some 17" wheels off the v6 so need to decide what to do with them

I've not looked at that forum for years but it used to be good.

Had both the rear brake lines replaced yesterday, and today did a full fluid change with some 5.1 dot brake fluid, new manual aerial base is on just awaiting a new aerial to fit into it now,

Just waiting for some good weather now so I can clean up the rest of the brake lines/ front and rear subframes and hammerite/waxoil it up. it's all surface rust but doesnt look pretty and is flaking off

Any idea how much all the aircon stuff weighs just out of interest
