Yes, that's the place. Thanks. When I had been there before, didn't have success. But, will keep it in mind. -

Anyone have a SM/ETM for any Hyundai years '91 to '98
Car guy in Virginia replied to Car guy in Virginia's topic in Technical
I have obtained every gen 1 and gen 2 U.S. Elantra SM/ETM from '91-'95 and '96-'99. But, I'm still looking for anyone who still has a '91-'95 or '96-'98 Elantra who can check their OBD-I 12-pin data link connector for me and OBD-II 16-pin DLC for me, in the companion post to this. https://forums.aaca.org/topic/336193-anyone-still-have-a-hyundai-from-91-98-or-kept-their-notes-on-the-obd-port/ -
Restoring an early Hyundai, and wondering if anyone still has a Hyundai from years 91, 92, 93, 94, 95 - the gen 1 - or 96 or 97 or 98 - the gen 2. Or, if anyone kept their notes on their OBD port. On the '91-'95 years, I was hoping someone could look at their 12-pin OBD port for me and post back with which terminals have pins in them - and the wire colors. On the '96-'98, same thing but on the 16-pin OBD-II port - which terminals are populated and with what color wires? The 12-pin connector should look like this:There should be two terminals on the top row separated by 2 empty spaces then 3 more terminals, and have 6 terminals on the bottom row. (Pins 10 & 9 should be under the 2 empty slots, respectively, and pin 8 should be under pin 3 and pin 7 should be under pin 2 and pin 6 should be under pin 1.)5 4 empty slot empty slot 3 2 112 11 10 9 8 7 6 The OBD-II 16-pin connector should like a "D" shape, with 8 terminals per row. Thanks.

Restoring an early Hyundai, and wondering if anyone has the Service Manual and/or Electrical Troubleshooting Manual for any of these Hyundai years 91, 92, 93, 94, 95 - the gen 1 - or 96 or 97 or 98 - the gen 2. Elantra SM/ETM preferred, but could use Accent information as well. I was hoping someone could look up a page for me. Thanks.

Thanks guys, especially the insight on the covers' deterioration rates and the idea to facilitate water run-off. -

46, AJ, Thank you both for the follow-up cover-specific recommendations. That's the type of actual experience info I was seeking. Had looked into WeatherTech before posting, but they offer no recourse if there's an issue, stating the covers are custom-made; and, they state it takes several weeks. -

Car cover recommendations & lessons learned

Three questions, please, for those with experience with outdoor car covers. What outdoor car covers (brand and product-line) would you recommend that meet the following: - soft underside that will not scratch or nick the car/paint (during removal/installation or when being blown around in windy conditions) - will stay on the car in moderate windy conditions - are designed (or conform) to the shape of the actual given make/model - provide meaningful, long-term UV protection - provide modest hail protection - and, are easily cleaned on the outer exposed surface (especially from bird guano) What has been your experience with increased risk of rust underneath the covers, by virtue of the moisture not being able to normally readily evaporate? Any other important considerations or lessons learned with your experiences with outdoor car covers? Thanks. -
Yeah, and it's surprising the Sonatas have been around that long - 29 years, especially after the early Excels - 32 years now. But, many survivors are still out there. They actually restore well. And, now is a good time, before the parts finish drying up. They don't have the large parts availabilities as the domestic cars. Parts are scant.

First gen Hyundais now qualify for antique status. Excels 1985 through 1992. Sonatas 1988 through 1992. Elantras 1991 through 1992. Recently ordered parts from Fourgreen as part of some full restorations. When the parts were available, they were new, OEM, fully meeting AACA standards. However, various wrong parts were shipped. And, the corresponding listed parts were not available. Efforts to rectify and obtain refunds and returns became protracted and complicated. And, in some cases, shipping costs were not fully refunded. So, while there may be few Hyundais currently undergoing restorations, as time passes, this information may benefit - but also alert - other/future potential buyers. And, since the company also sells current models' parts, those in the market should be alerted to possible complications when wrong parts ship.

Thanks! Been looking for a place like this. Unfortunately, they didn't have the part, and their Nissan listings are for Japan and Europe models (only), and ours are just enough different the parts (in question) didn't apply to those country's models. Will keep them in mind. Appreciate the information!
