[freakydeaky]

love the gencoupes.. you'll have fun with that thing, congrats

[Redhaze]

Congrats have fun be safe.

[oakrdrs187]

Nice, I knew a Bio-Med engineer who got that same model in white as soon as they came out. Peppy little car, enjoy the hell out of it!

[showtime]

I just got done test driving one! I am pretty much in love. Start modding!

[Stepsascend]

Nice pick up. I love those cars.

[Skyforger]

Nice find. It may be a Hyundai, but the engine is still Mitsubishi!

[keith6110]

Nice! One of my college friends had gotten one of these, they are nice inside and out. Not a huge fan of the front grill, but I think blacking it out would do wonders.

[XxGiRLaNT06xX]

Congrats! I really like that car and have seen some bad ass things done to them. Good luck Pete

Congrats on the new car. i was looking at the same one but was too big for it lol

[dknight3]

interesting looking car, got any plans for it?

[showtime]

[Joe (G8)]

nice ass pick up!!!

[polishmafia]

I absolutely LOVE this car. I drove around aimlessly for a couple of hours today, and I enjoyed every second of it.

As for mods, I'm not planning to go crazy with this car. Wheels are a must have, tint as well. Minor bolt ons and exhaust are a definitely.

I'll update this thread as time goes on.

Did I mention that I absolutely love this car? :D

[polishmafia]

Minor update: I am currently driving a 2012 Sonata. Its gutless, but overall not a bad little car.

My car is at the body shop getting the front bumper replaced (it had a small crack) as part of the purchase agreement. I already miss my car!

[freakydeaky]

Congrats! I really like that car and have seen some bad ass things done to them. Good luck Pete

[showtime]

wheel fitment can be epic on gencoupes! Glad you like it, I am waiting a little to see if the 2013 is any good. I can't tell my pics if I like it or hate it.

[polishmafia]

Thanks for the pics, but this is my build thread. Please don't clutter this thread with pics of other cars. ;)

[beam514]

nice, my roommate has a 2.0T and let me drive it one day. It is quite peppy and I do like the feel of the steering (although nothing beats not having power steering :) ). I didn't take it too hard though cause I just can't do that with someone else's car.

BTW I love love love the seats but they look like they weigh 4598309494871 lbs

[polishmafia]

So some small updates...

Got some free PDR from a friend who used to work at the shop.

http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/7112/pdrx.jpg

Installed my first mod - an ashtray!

http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/751/ashtraya.jpg

And on last Saturday got a nice coat of 35% tint all around.

[oakrdrs187]

Nice, good thing it has projectors already. Hows the light output now?

Those look like 5000K.

Took me a minute to figure out what PDR (paintless dent removal) was, that's cool you got that for free. Looks good so far, keep the updates coming!

[XxGiRLaNT06xX]

looks good pete!

[M-Rod]

Lookin good Pete

[polishmafia]

If my Genesis ever ends up looking like that, I would drive it off a cliff myself.

[polishmafia]

Those look like 5000K.

Output is great, still has a perfect cut off line. The kit I got is 6k. Camera phone FTL ;)

[master_visionary]

Lmao it's that bad lol well it's original peep the line swap on the color

[8thLS6]

Nice

[polishmafia]

100% stock, got an awesome baseline dyno run today.

http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/138/dynosheet.jpg

Completely impressed with the numbers. It can only go up from here! :)

[8thLS6]

Nice numbers..btw I think this exhaust sounds really good

[polishmafia]

Today I ripped out the stock intake silencer. Car finally sounds like it has a (tiny) turbo.

[oakrdrs187]

^ The little Intake suction sound FTW!!

[Skyforger]

Ah, the hiss of a turbo spooling. Why would you NOT want to hear that?

[polishmafia]

Hey guys, couple of updates to my car.

Got rid of the old grill and installed an M&S Type-B grill.

http://img542.imageshack.us/img542/4537/20120817160227.jpg

Threw on a wings badge.

http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/512/20120811161557.jpg

And I also installed a K&N intake. Its a little louder than I thought it'd be, but it sounds good.

[Galant306m]

I want ONE SO BAD :(

[polishmafia]

Well I ordered some Eibach Sportline springs from MAP -( http://www.maperformance.com/ <- Amazing company, great guys) and got them installed today. Its soooo nice to work on a car with less than 20k miles. No rust, no broken bolts.

After the install I got the alignment dialed in perfectly. 1.5 degrees of camber in the back, .5 in the front, and the toe is dead on.

I don't have any really good before images. Here is one.

[M-Rod]

Damn that thing sits nice! Its coming together :)

[oakrdrs187]

Sits nicely balanced. Love it when springs give that result.

[GTMitsu]

Needs some wheels!

[CHICAGO_ONE]

Looks great man!

[wetamup2k3g]

Looking good. After seeing a couple of these cars on a dyno last weekend I'm thoroughly impressed with them, especially the V6, the 4-banger holds its own too.

[polishmafia]

Over the past couple of days I've been working on blacking out the headlight housings. What a pain in the ass!! But, in the end, it turned out really nice.

[dknight3]

nice! way better.

[CHICAGO_ONE]

Wow. Great job man! Sometimes it's those subtle mods that makes it really stand out.

[wetamup2k3g]

Yeah that's dope. That little change really sets off the front and its probably not something you'll see every day on one of those.

When I was at the Hyundai dealership with the wife I was eyeballing one with the Brembos and all, they are really nice cars. Dude started it up, the exhaust nice was nice for a stock four banger. It's just a good looking car overall Pete!

[oakrdrs187]

Lights look way better. I know the though off opening them with an oven or heat gun can make one nervous but the more you do it the easier it becomes.

Very nice Pete. Between the grille and headlights, that is one distinct front end.

[GTMitsu]

Is this pile still around? :)
