jzamorski113's Genesis Coupe

[jzamorski113]

I got my genesis coupe at the end of March and haven't done too much to it looks-wise so far.

I have the 3.8L Track Edition with the Manual Transmission. I was torn between this and a 5.0, but I sacrificed some speed for the everyday comforts of the Genesis Coupe.

First off was the the wing badges and car wash:











Enough of that...Here is the intake I put on by r2cperformance. Sounded great with the stock exhaust and definitely more pull.



After that I got a new exhaust(last week):

Here is the video of it right when it was put on. I want to try and make a driveby video, but I don't have any camera buddys. (Not sure how to embed or if possible. Didn't see a sticky on it)

Pictures of said exhaust:










I have a new grille that I ordered, and also have new fog bezels. They will be put on soon. Also, just picked up another set of the oem 19" wheels for a winter set. Might be powdercoating one of the sets black. We will see...

Nice pickup! I love the Genesis coupe. Progress is good, keep up the good work.

I like the dagger knife design of the side windows.

Yeah I am pretty excited about it. I got a canned tune as well, thats all that is really out there for the car being that it is all so new. It improves the performance and gas mileage as I can tell. And then it also removed the speed limiter, and also raised the rev limiter to 7200rpm.

nice genesis i have a silver 2.0t picked it up about 3 weeks ago i love it.. i believe i saw you post on gen coupe

[jzamorski113]

Yeah I am on gencoupe, same username. That site is a great resource, and helped me spend a lot of my money lol.

Got my fog bezels and new grille. Foz bezels need to be sent back, well at least the one that came unpainted :S

[jzamorski113]

Figured I'd add two more pictures of my whole car after the new exhaust was on. I have a grille waiting to go on, and fog bezels in route to my home, probably won't put them on til later this month though.

Thanks!

Right now I am just have intake and exhaust. I have a grille I am putting on with new fog bezels to get the cheap plastic look away from the front end. After that it will be minimal for a few years. I will probably get it tinted in the spring, as now there's not much of a need for it going into the winter.

Car has a sweet warranty so I'd like the piece of mind for a little bit. Might get a mild drop in it, but I am fine with the way it sits now. I have a second set of the same wheels for a winter set, so I might powdercoat one of the sets black.

In the distant future, I will probably get a turbo or 2, or a supercharger. This is when its more proven for the platform, I have more money and I get another daily driver.

I haven't gotten it dyno'd at all. Exhaust sounds a lot meaner under load too, not just freely revving.

Comes with 306hp factory rated. Which was showing as like 260whp on the dyno. With my ecu reflash, exhaust and intake I should be around 285-290 whp, according to those with similar mods.

Probably do if you are from Lansdale. I'm in Hatfield right off 309. Everyone always looks at my house. We are between a foreclosure on one side and renters on the other. Sigh.

Let's strap this thing down and see what it makes to the wheels.

You guys need to become a vendor or tuner for power axle so when I get my unit I can get a custom tune done. I dont like the idea of buying their custom maps for my particular mods.

These cars are starting to pop up all over Erik....its time r/t jumps on the bandwagon!!

280-290 WHP - that thing has to be a blast to drive !

x2 for taking it to Erik !

+1, we definitely need more aftermarket support for the genesis coupe. I've been going to Jay at SFR, he did his reflash for me. I work 5 minutes from his shop so I like the peace of mind of it. He's very helpful and said I can drop by whenever. 2.0t needs more aftermarket support since its turbo, people like turbo swaps and messing with all that. 3.8 there's not much you can do yet that's worth it, just bolt-ons. SFR does have their 3.8 that is twin turbo, which is awesome. I like stopping by just to see that masterpiece. Around 600whp!

Well here is a small update. I put the new grille and fog bezels on a few months ago. I moved out to West Chester and I have been busy with work. But here are some pictures of the car after washing it on Friday.
Dirty still outside my apartment(not where its parked, I park in a garage across the street)


Now all clean:






Once springtime hits I am planning a few more things.
I am looking to get a front lip and side skirts. I also am looking to get some coilovers as well.

In a few weeks I will be painting my headlight housing black.

My stock summer tires have tread left, but once they are about done I will sell those OEM wheels and buy a new set that will be more flush without the use of spacers.

Once those "show" pieces are done, I'm gonna look to a single turbo setup, which Turbokits.com should be coming out with shortly, unless something else comes along that is more appealing.

Thanks for looking!
