Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Thanks dudes. I thought I was going to get a lot of shit for it being an automatic. This car isn't BECAUSE RACE CAR. Its my daily driven car.

First mods - I plan on getting the windows tinted (of course) and an intake. I'm still researching which one I want to go with.

Whats funny is that there are massive GenCoupe forums out there, and 99% of the posts are noobs with no money asking for ways to mod their car for free. It makes it extremely difficult to find good information. I may be the king of ricers here, but good god, not on any GenCoupe forums!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Do these things have the same kind of cheap/easy stock ECU tuning capabilities as Evo's then?

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Sounds like the apple has not fallen far from the tree (Tiburon forums...)

Nice car though!

Negative.

So our resident MitsuStyle owner got a ride in the GC this weekend. And he gave me, Ricer Pete, the thumbs up - even though the car has no CF! ;)

Scheides - Any thoughts on the car?

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

He had a lot of good things to say while I was over for some grilling, but I'll let him pass them along.

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Yea I got a ride in the new ricer-pete whip on saturday and I must say I'm quite impressed! Trim level is just fine for the price of the car, seats are quite comfy and the cloth is good quality. Car is nice and torquey and will squeel tires no problem even stock and traction control on. The Auto is actually a nice touch for a summer cruiser...with the windows down and that big sunroof open its a very very nice open-air experience.

FIC1100's, a fuel pump, testpipe, E85 and a little more boost would make this thing VERY fun! But as-is, I like it. A lot. I kinda want one!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Thank you sir! I'm glad you liked it. :)

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

The modding bug has started to bite. I've got my eye on an intake and possible ECU reflash. Its been proven to gain +45hp/64tq from stock power.

As far as looks go, I really want to get rid of the horrible front grill. Its the only part of the car's exterior that I don't like.

So I'm thinking about one of these grills... Any opinions?

And just for shits and giggles... CF!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

haha the CF one is nice but I like the first one too, you need that bottom front lip too! doo et!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

I like the CF the most. Give it that wide open mouth(like your women). But whats with the dip in it? Thats kinda dumb. Find one with out that and it would probably look better. Then put home depo mesh in it! (kidding)


The post below is perfect.

that is sex.

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Do what that guy posted^

Otherwise the first one looks pretty clean/stock looking

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

Why is everyone on Style telling me to get a body kit!? What is this? Bizzaro world?? Haha JK.

I like the look of the Hana in that picture, but in other pictures it looks kind of cheap to me. (And yes, I know in the pic below its not painted)

bare back even!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

It kind of looks like a picture of a s2000 stretched out in paint unproportionately. Just use the grill from it :thumbsup:

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

screw the grill buy that hood!!!

Re: Ricer Pete's GenCoupe
 

I vote first grill.
But really I love the bumper, with the mesh painted black and not missing in the corners. That vented hood is also awesome.
