Whoever posted earlier that building a motor isn't hard, I'd have to disagree. Sure just simply building a motor is easy, anybody can do it. Building a motor that lasts and takes high power abuse year after year takes a lot of experience. I know just enough to be dangerous. I have made some poor choices in the past when building motors. I was happy with my bearing clearances that I chose, the bore surface finish that I chose, and the deck/head finish that I chose. The headstuds also worked out great as did my headgasket choice. While my piston/wall clearance worked, and ended up saving a LOT of damage, it was the wrong choice. Also my piston choice was not researched well.

Ralliart placed last in a comparision in Car Driver, said it was overweight, overpriced, under powered and under tired but other then that pretty good.

Screw that car, i think the genesis coupe would be so much more bad ***.
RWD, 4B11 turbo charged, brembo brakes, nice interior, clean looking wheels
Since the car is in Korea to start with , we wont get it for a couple more months...
but here are some teaser pics of it with a GT30r on it already...
And for like $21,000 for the base 2.0 seems like a steal compared to the ralliart

- Few ecu tweaks and it would come to life, maps have been posted very similar to the evo x but the boost lower....
Compared to the old ralliart its better in every way
