    Interesting performance calculator

    Power to Weight: 176 bhp/ton 0-60: 6.3 0-100: 15.1 60-100: 8.8 1/4 Mile ET: 14.52 1/4 Mile Terminal: 97 Dragstrip 1/4 Mile ET: 14.32 Dragstrip 1/4 Mile Terminal: 101 I can't get a good 0-60 though, no place to do it around here so I can't compare my own crappy time to this. But what I have...

    Or, I drive it and it looks perfect now. Why use an exacto knife when the brakes themselves will tidy it up? Do you bitch about everything or can you stop judging and STFU? You talk too much and know too little IMHO. I don't post about your car and it's issues, that's YOUR choice. You'd do...

    Painted the calipers and hub black today. There's a before and after pic. I could not find high heat primer and so I went with no primer rather than regular primer that'd bubble. I used caliper paint for all of it. I hope the primer thing doesn't come back to bite me.

    Is there any benefit getting a "performance" panel filter?

    I see it at work all the time- where some kid gets a poor intake setup and doesn't understand what he's doing. Most of the intake setups I see are setup by people who have heard that the pod filter gives them 5-7 BHP (the package says that! It has to be true) and they get a generic or...

    Induction Kit Theory/Enquiry??

    That's where most of the noise comes from. The BOV (well, it's actually a BPV, but sounds as loud as most BOV) noise is loud from my induction kit. The Injen intake does a much better job than the Hyundai stock kit does. I have controlled IAT and the piping is much smoother and has laminar...

    I haven't heard of BiscioneRacing or pipercross so I can't comment on those, but K&N filters do filter very well- they put a lot of time and engineering into their filters.

    Daves Cooper S

    Before I got the Genesis Coupe, I was on the way to look at a Mini S I had seen on the internet. The Mini was my first choice, but I got the Gen instead. The reason I wanted the Mini was because at work everyone I meet who has a Mini LOVES them. It's one of those rare cars that people just...

    Is there any benefit getting a "performance" panel filter?

    One problem I have read about with performance panel filters is if they are oiled and your car has a MAF sensor, the oil can foul the sensor.

    I'm afraid of that too so I'll probably just go for uprated mounts. It's a fairly cheap upgrade. The extra vibration wouldn't bother me, but you're right about being bad for the car. The reading I've done has said that between 2.5" to 3" exhaust is perfect for 300 bhp turbo car. Dyno sheets...

    Induction Kit Theory/Enquiry??

    I see kits like that all the time where there was no thought given to heat or design. Unless you have a plan and a purpose you're not doing much good. It's part of an entire systemwide tuning to get the most from your engine IMHO but on its own doesn't do much for performance. That's a blanket...

    It's standard now, but future upgrades will take advantage of the bigger exhaust. Plus it'll give the car some extra power right away even before the future tune. The stock exhaust as it is has a huge constriction after the cat. It's horrible. Plus I want it loud. Stinger is a straight single...

    This car is my first project car. I got it just a couple months ago and I'm going to build it up little by little as I can afford. As I mod it, I'll post updates here. My exhaust as it is now- going for a full 3" race exhaust soon, but here it is now: As of June 2015: Injen SRI Uniq rigid...
