2011 Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec

[fifty3bags]

Quite like the stock mirrors actualy. They seem to fit the car pretty well imo. Loving every bit of the car though.

And that exhaust sound...

I like the stock mirrors as well. I think the smaller ones work on your tuner's car because it's black and it flows. On your car I feel like they'd get overlooked and therefore look out of place

[Yezzz]

you know part of it is looks for me, but another part of it is the analog-ness of it if that is a thing. Seems like the older I get the less "powered" options I want, if that makes sense.

You may **** this hahaha... but I saw my tuners car and I had to have em. they are the 5.5" APR mirrors, I think they look pretty proportional, but may not be your thing. The blanks came in on Friday.

Been thinking of picking up a 3.8R engine for a project, the reviews mentioned the gearbox being kinda improperly geared. Do you feel the same way?

Ps car looks mint, I mean really should be the poster child for all genesis sales.

damn, appreciate the words. I do agree, gearing can be odd they seem quite long for an N/A car especially on the street. I am happy by just dropping the tire profile and raising the rev limiter though and it accelerates in a way I like now, i think the '13+ compensates similarly with a higher final gear ratio

The bigger complaint is shifter & clutch feel, here is my list :

installed:
Megan trans mount
ralco rz shifter

bought, to be installed:
torque solutions shifter bushings
comp clutch/ lightweight steel flywheel
braided clutch line
Redline Fluids

still to buy
ATQ shifter bushings
ATQ rear mount
ATQ diff kit (not yet released)
Megan motor mounts

I'm hoping to have a reliable solid shift feel once it is all said and done. I'm pretty convinced that all the wear parts on this car are garbage and that is how they get the price so low.... but not a bad trade off for someone into cars and willing to upgrade. hope this helps

This might be a rant caused by other builds, but don't get too destructive with your mirrors. I don't know what you have in mind, but too many people are throwing fender mirrors on cars that don't need them, or swapping out factory mirrors for carbon F1 style mirrors etc.

The mirrors that come with a car, were designed to go along with the rest of the car's shape, size, and aero. Slapping a universal gt-spec mirror on there that really doesn't even belong on a motorcycle, doesn't make a car badass imo. It makes you look like you don't understand proportions, style, and function.

Again, this is not directly pointed at you. I love what you've done so far, and I hope you choose well with your mirrors. Some people just seem to attack their mirrors when they should leave them alone.

Gosh, your car makes me feel so nice inside.

Hurry and get that wing done! That would really set it off.

I've always enjoyed this car a lot. Glad you made a build thread for it.

Keep doing your thing, I love this car.

This just keeps getting better and better

OMG! I'm in love....

Thanks guys, car is down for a bit. Flywheel or something is making a terrible noise. New comp clutch and flywheel should be here thursday.

Painter is being a flake on the wing. I might just have to go get it and go somewhere else

Imo, the blacked symbol in the back should just get deleted.

agreed, has to be shaved though there is an indent and holes unfortunately

Video was awesome

Exhaust sounds incredible!

A buddy of mine is looking to pick up something to make a project out of. I'm pointing him to this thread, because this car is just sick as all hell.

I freaking love this build! Where did you find the cobra reps?

thanks guys! Cobra reps are from wheelreplicas.com. they barely ever have matching stuff in stock LOL this is why I have 6 of these wheels now. :/ had to buy mismatched first so i could sell the varrstoens


Edit: I told you i take a million pics. helps me think about what is still ugly.... like the big mirrors. Which will be going away
