The AMS Genesis coupe is HERE!!! Let the modding BEGIN!!!

As of 3pm this afternoon we picked up our first Genesis 2.0T Track coupe. Our special projects technician Ivan Phipps just signed the paperwork. We drove it right to the shop and started our long but detailed analysis of what needs to be done.

1. The exhaust is pretty bottlenecked as we expected...big room for improvement there
2. There is CAVERNOUS room for an AMS Turbo kit so see that in the very near future
3. IC pipe and an intake should be able to be worked up very quickly
4. The tuners here are already on the case for re mapping the ECU
5. Looks to be a returnless fuel system so we will have to fix that.
6. Speed density for air metering so a vent to atmosphere BOV should work without a hitch on the car

I can go on all day but how about some pictures to start

































Ivan is going to jump in here tonight for a much more in depth analysis

Also please if you are in the midwest and considering picking up a Genesis coupe please make sure you check out Gartner Hyundai in Aurora, IL. Phil and Eddie really took care of us over there. The best part is everyone there has a true vested interest in seeing the real potential of this car http://www.gartnercars.com/

LET THE MODDING BEGIN!!!

Love how they decided to put that huge dent into the exhaust to fit the chasis bar......lol. I'm sure you guys will fix that. Thats 10hp on stock car if you fixed that.

Very excited to see what you guys make out of this...+1 on the exhaust dent for the bar. The car looks beautiful, although the instrument cluster doesn't look that great. I like the Evo's.
