  • TJIN Edition Genesis is the Last Hyundai We Will See Before SEMA

    TJIN Edition Hyundai Genesis Sketch TJIN Edition Hyundai Genesis is rounding out the teaser sketches released by the brand before the official start of the SEMA show in November. Behind this project are the tuners at TJIN and although this is their first official Hyundai vehicle built for SEMA, it promises to be one of the best to see at the event. The experts have been inspired by underground racing, so we are definitely looking forward to seeing it at in the beginning of next week when the show starts.

    What do we know about the TJIN’s Genesis Coupe so far? First, since it is this particular model, it will be powered by Hyundai’s 3.8-liter “Lambda” V6 engine. The unit however does not produce the standard output number, but instead due to Vortech supercharger kit built by the power gurus from Bisimoto Engineering, it now pumps out a lot more.

    But before speaking about a specific number, we should also tell you that car’s horsepower was uprated via free-flowing exhaust system, Vortech front mount intercooler and blow-off valve. The end result: more than 500 hp (398 kW).

    Next, to super-strength of the car is supported by the addition of new Rotiform 19-inch 3-piece HUR wheels. Behind them TJIN added custom Baer x CBA Extreme Plus brake calipers and have wrapped them in Falklen FK345 tires.

    This Hyundai also sits lower thanks to KW coilovers. This is why the car also appears to have more aggressive appearance. Unique Fabrication delivered custom front lip, rear spoiler and custom trunk lid. At last, the car was finished in a custom Kylie Tjin Axalta green paint job. More details about this project you can read in the table below. Now you can’t wait until the show, can you? Just like us.

    We have known for months that Honda would present six customized 2015 Honda Fit vehicles at the 2014 SEMA Show but no one expected such a Honda storm at this event. Honda has not only demonstrated the promised six vehicles but has also taken the show by storm with the demonstrated cars. The company has nine personalized versions of the Fit in the Honda booth and won the dreamed “Hottest Sport Compact” SEMA award in no time after the vehicle presentation. The Honda booth is dominated by the Fit, customized by Tjin Edition, which was voted as the Fan Favorite in the 2015 Fit Performance Project, which enabled fans to track the build processes of several teams through an interactive Honda Tumblr site.

    “The 2015 Fit is a worthy addition to Honda’s strong heritage of developing tuned sport compact vehicles, and it wears the mantle of “Hottest Sport Compact” well,” said Jeff Conrad, SVP & General Manager of Honda Division, American Honda Motor Co, Inc. “Fun to drive, versatile and a great value, the new Fit does so many things right, and it’s great to see it becoming a popular platform for owner personalization.”

    During the past six months Honda fans were able to monitor the progress of the six build teams that customized the all-new 2015 Honda Fit through an ambitious project vehicle program and interactive Tumblr experience, known as 2015 Fit Performance Project. The six build teams – Tjin Edition, voted Fan Favorite; Bisimoto Engineering; Kontrabrands; MAD Industries; Spoon Sports USA; and the award-winning Kenny Vinces – customized the cars in public.

    If you happen to visit Honda’s booth at the 2014 SEMA Show you will also see a Fit B-spec race car prepared for competition by Honda Performance Development (HPD), which is Honda’s North American racing company and then a Fit loaded with available dealer-installed Honda Genuine Accessories; and an additional Fit personalized by prominent tuner, Bisimoto, on behalf of Norm Reeves Honda in response to fan feedback prompted through the 2015 Fit Performance Project.
