Re: Draklen's 2010 Genesis Coupe
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?

Re: Draklen's 2010 Genesis Coupe
$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....

Re: Draklen's 2010 Genesis Coupe
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?Jastreb wrote:Only 18lbs of boost? Seems like a lot...Isn't stock like 9 lbs?

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.paul34 wrote: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.

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 .

Re: Draklen's 2010 Genesis Coupe
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.

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

Re: Draklen's 2010 Genesis Coupe
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.watkins wrote:Vertical door/Lambo door = retarded.

Re: Draklen's 2010 Genesis Coupe
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.

Re: Draklen's 2010 Genesis Coupe
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.

Re: Draklen's 2010 Genesis Coupe
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.theholycow wrote: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.

Re: Draklen's 2010 Genesis Coupe
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.
