2003 Hyundai Tiburon Gt V6 2.7l Black/black - Needs Work on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
2003 Hyundai Tiburon
This would be a great project for somebody that knows a mechanic or has the desire to work on cars. My car repair days are behind me, so now it's your turn! Details: V6 DOHC GT 2.6L 6-speed manual transmission 125000 miles, all original except for clutch at 40k and air compressor last year. Mild paint fading due to age, but has been garage kept for most of it's life. Parking brake cable needs adjustment or replacement. Passenger exterior door handle is broken. I have a replacement already. Driver exterior door handle is about to break, but still works. I have a replacement. Both windows do not work. I have a replacement motor and regulator. Air conditioner has gone out. Possibly due to the used compressor I installed last year, or some other issue. I have not troubleshot this. The head gasket is believed to be damaged due to an overheating situation. I believe the water pump failed causing a dangerous overheating event. The radiator has a crack due to exhaust gases being forced into the cooling system. Basically, I didn't notice the overheat until steam appeared from the engine compartment. At that time I immediately pulled over and turned off the engine. The mechanic who reviewed the car said the head gasket is most likely damaged, but unsure until the engine is pulled apart. The engine does start and it runs rough. With the radiator crack, I would recommend a tow pickup and not a drive away. Brand new tires and wheels. I clipped some Freeway debris about two months ago that damaged a wheel. Buying four new low-end wheels from Discount Tire was less than one new Hyundai wheel. I drove this car every day for the past 10 years and it was exceptional the entire time. Replacement parts I have and are included in this sale: Right and left exterior door handles, unpainted (black) Power window regulator Power window motor Timing belt Rear valve cover gasket (I replaced the front a few months ago) |

China sticking to its guns on EVs for the future
Mon, Apr 27 2015Automakers are obviously free to develop whatever next-gen, zero-emissions tech that they want. However, if a company wants to get on the good side of the Chinese government, that strategy better include some plug-in vehicles. The authorities there are lending major support to plug-ins at the moment, and its forcing the auto industry to play along. According to Bloomberg, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, and BMW are all launching dedicated EV brands with their joint venture partners, and as many as 40 electric models could hit the Chinese market this year alone. However, analysts don't think the vehicles are going to sell well. Instead, the launches are essentially a way for companies to play nice with the government and help get the approval to build factories in the country. Take Toyota as an example. The company is pushing the future of hydrogen hard with promotional films for the Mirai and engineers talking down fast-charging EVs. Still, the Japanese automaker is getting ready to launch two EV brands in China with its joint venture partners, according to Bloomberg. China's push for alternative fuels has been happening for a while, but it really kicked into high gear last year. The government has set a goal to improve fleet-wide economy by 40 percent by the end of the decade in order to spend less importing oil and for the population's health. The plan has shown some success so far with hybrid and EV sales growing early in 2015.

Hyundai admits 'error' in KDM Sonata fuel economy announcement
Mon, Mar 17 2014Stop us if you've heard this one before: Hyundai is going to have to reduce the officially announced miles-per-gallon number for its 2014 Sonata. While there's a lot of similarity between this new situation and events that transpired in 2012, there are some important differences. For one, the new mileage mistake, which Hyundai says was once again caused by an error at its test centers, is only applicable to cars in the Korean Domestic Market. Secondly, it's not so much mpg as kilometers per liter. "We are very sorry for causing confusion to reporters" - Hyundai According to Reuters, the numbers for the Korean Sonata were originally announced as 12.6 kilometers per liter (29.63 mpg), a six-percent increase over the previous model. The automaker has just announced that government verification showed an actual result of 12.1 kpl (28.46 mpg), which is only a two-percent increase. Since these numbers were done using the South Korean economy test, they are not equivalent to the US EPA numbers, the latter of which say the 2014 Sonata gets 36/40/38 miles per gallon. The correction came before the new Sonata went on sale in South Korea. In an official statement, Hyundai said, "We are very sorry for causing confusion to reporters." Hyundai Motor America's Jim Trainor, product public relations senior group manager, assured AutoblogGreen that the Korean error will have "no effect" on US ratings. In 2012, Hyundai and Kia faced a media and consumer firestorm after being caught up in exaggerated mileage claims for vehicles like its 2013 Accent, Veloster and Elantra. The sister companies agreed to compensate buyers to the tune of $395 million for what they said were "honest mistakes" and "human error" during in-house fuel economy tests. There is no word yet on whether similar customer satisfaction actions will follow this domestic market snafu.
Hyundai teases HCD-14 concept ahead of Detroit debut
Mon, 07 Jan 2013As is the case ahead of any major auto show, we're expecting to see a plethora of leaked information or teased images before next week's Detroit Auto Show, and Hyundai is already giving us something pretty exciting to look forward to. Shown above in this shadowy teaser is the HCD-14 Concept, which the automakers says gives a "glimpse into future Hyundai premium vehicle design."
Based on the shape of the headlights and the sloping roofline, this image matches up quite well with some spy shots we saw last month reported to be the next-generation Genesis sedan. It also bears more than just a striking resemblance to Kia's new flagship sedan, the Quoris. Either way, we approve. Aside from the car's appearance, Hyundai is also promising "advanced 3-D gesture-based technology controls" inside the car as well as a sportier driving dynamic.
This is all we have to work with right now, but we'll have all the coverage for this new Hyundai and everything else on display at the auto show kicking off a week from today.
