sweet, are you going to get the pipes coated black? Would accomodate the engine bay to look more stock-ish and dealer freindly.

We should be able to do them in quite a few different colors but yes black will definitely be an option.

I personally think im going to do mine white to match the car. We'll see.

We recommend breaking cars/engines in how they are going to be driven.

The car hasnt been to the track.

I drove the car for a weekend. A little over 300 miles were put on it from the time I picked it up Friday to when we started to take it apart on Monday morning.

both MotorTrend and CarNDriver have full articles on the Genesis coupe this month.... all positive reviews. they mention how easy it is to mod, its as if the factory is expecting mods, and therefore made it easy to swap out parts, and/or flash the Ecu.

im all for it! a great alternative to a whole lot of sports coupes out there

Sorry for the brief delay guys but thank you for being patient. Monday's here are normally more crazy than the others.

Here is the comparison between the Buschur Racing Race FMIC upgrade, the Buschur Racing Standard FMIC upgrade and the tiny stock FMIC.

I had some inquiries of "reference" type of "comparrison" pics of the FMIC's compared to some items so this morning I took the time to snap a few more pics.

Compared to a 16oz ROCKSTAR Energy can. Its a subliminal message to not drink coffee anymore and to drink nothing but ROCKSTAR.




Here is also another with a shot compared to a pack of Marlboro's since there is a guy here who does smoke. Buschur Racing does not condone smoking, drinking or use of any other types of narcotics. Tobacco, alcohol and/or drugs can cause serious health issues. Use at your own risk.

As for boost and high horsepower... Yes we're addicted and we "use" those daily.

Well it looks like you guys will have enough mods to get me started when I buy mine in a few months. Does anyone know when the stripped down version is coming out with all the track goodies, but without some of the other unnecessary bs? IIRC, they are calling it an RS model

It is not the RS but close. The R-Spec Coupe is slated for release in mid summer.

I would have liked to have waited and got the 4cyl 2.0T R-Spec with the track package but needed/wanted a Coupe NOW for R&D. It would have been nice if it was released at the same time. Oh well the sunroof, sound system and HID's arent so bad.
