Draklen's 2010 Genesis Coupe

[Jastreb]

Only 18lbs of boost? Seems like a lot...Isn't stock like 9 lbs?
Btw I like the exhaust sound, but is the quad exhaust really necessary?

$10k over MSRP was spent on the car? Am I missing something? I went back to the first page and the price was like 21 something....

Stock peak is like 14 and drops to 9-10 at redline. Stock is single muffler piped out to dual tips. This is single pipe to dual mufflers to quad tips. Necessary? Nah but looks better. I suppose I can hack off the tips of this and the stocker and swap but why spend the money?

Also, isn't it tough to justify all this money after spending an extra $10k over MSRP? By this point, you probably could've afforded a 3.8 Track and still had money for a few mods.

right but didn't he somehow add stuff to make it almost out to $31k? or that may be the total amount of the course of the loan.

it was high because of a trade in Upside down $4k. I've reworked the deal and fast paid the trade and got MSRP. So 25k after taxes and stuffs.

Nice! I don't know why I haven't posted in here yet, but I have been following since the beginning. I like all the tasteful mods so far. My Genesis in Forza 3 is the same color because of yours .

8/21/2010 - Dyno Day 215rwhp / 256 tq



This is just the first run. Unfortunately I was on the noisy dynojet. Will post graph when they email it to me, the printer wasn't working.
I have the ARK downpipe back exhaust, 18lbs PowerAxel Reflash, Forge Blow Off Valve.

Adding a little bit of rice but whatever heh. Good for meets and photoshoot stuffs.

9/2/2010 - Green CCFLs AEs and switchback LED turnsignals (white/amber) installed.
They are powered by the parking lights and have individual switches for each side for now.





9/22/2010 - Vertical Door Hinge installed

Okay got the VDI hinge installed and GCTuner rewired the AEs to run off the battery and a single switch, since I can't drive with them on and I don't wanna have my parking lights on the entire time of a "show".

Here she is with me, my brother, and 1 Vertical Door. My brother rides in my car every once in a while and I would rather not have it any harder for him (or for me to help him) to get in... maybe I can suicide the passenger door. I'm pretty sure he can still get in easily if I do that.

^ Your brother drives a stick, too! He needs to pimp that thing out.

Vertical door/Lambo door = retarded. There is no way to express how stupid these things are.

Halos look cool though with your paint color

[Draklen]

Vertical door/Lambo door = retarded.

It's not full retard though. I can atleast open the door half way without lifting up. So I don't have to go vertical just to get in the car. Going vertical is just for shows and meets and stuff.

[AHTOXA]

I'm not a fan of vertical doors, especially just for show and especially if it's just one. I do understand you have a practical reason in terms of your brother but I don't think it looks good.

I don't like how it looks, but I can imagine liking it better on my own car on the driver's door just because it would be a more interesting way to open the door. Occasionally, something that seems purely cosmetic can actually have more meaning to someone.

Yeah, like my Aunt Edna's glass eye. I'm sure it meant a lot to Uncle Ernie, since he had to look at her every day. Maybe that's why she got the model that looks like a serpent's eye.

[eggwich delfiero]

I'm generally not a fan of the vertical door thing either, but it doesn't look too bad on a nice car in a loud color. I guess because it seems more relative to a supercar than when you see it done to an old Honda or Buick or whatever.

Car looks good!
