That tingles my fancy too. I bet you could even argue to make it a CA legal swap since it comes from the same maker and platform line.

hahaha oh that brutal always teasing the beave!!!

C55 - just give it a few more weeks or summer at latest!

it takes a little while for all the first shipments to be sent off and test the waters of the local markets for the dealerships to see how many cars should be allocated where. hell to tell you the truth i havent even seen a genesis sedan yet driving around?haha

the pretty much have everything to show the insurence now to state my case of them giving me a lower value on my car then what its worth.

-i have 7 examples of my exact model of evo at $30+k with close to my milage

- i have a payoff paper from a friend who totalled his lower model evo a week before mine from his insurence company *mercury* that shows his evo is a lower model then mine, had more milage then mine, and it got valued higher then my evo.......28k to be exact. based on his price mine should go for 29-30k at least

-i have alot of grand worth of reciepts in other parts that got installed in the car such as a new engine with new engine/fuel parts, now im just waiting on the tire reciept and i can state to them in a proper fashion that my car needs to be raised in value by them.

-if i end up not liking what they newly value my car at or if they wont raise the price on there own im gonna have to find an outside appraiser and contest there value and make them both settle on a final value.

ya i know its been a slow long and drawn out process but hey at least now ive learned every nook and cranny of the insurence's proceedures on such events.


NOW AS FOR THE GEN COUPE!

well i would only get 2 of the 4 different coupe models which would be the track model $26 or the soon to be released R-spec $23

if its the track model it will be in that sexy blue, orange, silver *ya imma sucker for it* or white
-out of the box i wanna take off the wing on this model becuase it looks alot better w/o one

if its the R-spec seeing as how it will only come in red/black/white i would just pic white
-this model doesnt come with a wing haha


here is some fun at irwindale - in a blue modified turbo w/o blow off valve

Thought this car was supposed to be deep into the 300hp range. CornFed, you wanna trade in your Evo for this?

from factory its looking like 190hp and 225tq on average to the wheels
every shop that has it hands on it now have thrown on a 25-50 dollar manual boost controller and turned the boost up from 14psi to 18.5psi *ecu governs the psi from going any higher*
and the results are 275hp and 285tq on average, not a bad 50 bucks spent.

but for the most part everything is pointing to swapping out the stock turbo, sense its so small. and ecu reflashing is still being developed.

give it another year give or take 6 months and i think 400hp will be the average joes hp output for this car.

also the evo will never be traded hahah. it will be alive in one form or another.

i barely sent out all my dug up receipts for everything on my car to state farm. i was still missing stuff for the intercooler, and tires and other little stuff. but what i did find in hard parts *not including labor* came out to $14,000+
so the ball is in there court to see what happens next.

My uncle and I took out a Hyundai Pieceocrap new from the dealer for a test drive, by the time we got back it smelled like burning metal. Hope this one is built better.

Hyundai to me is the Kumho of the car world.
