Lets say you had the opportunity to start completely over with a blank canvas that was your exact car. How many of you would do things differently? Or would many of you still do everything that you have done to your car all over?

I've learned a lot with the things I've done to my car, but having the knowledge I have now I would have either Beta swapped immediately, gone turbo, or both.

I wouldn't have done anything differently. I LOVE my car.



I would throw the Alpine Supercharger on though. That I would do.

Probably not too many things differently with the Genesis but the Tiburon...absolutely! Like HKC said, I would have scooped up an Alpine S/C back in the day dirt cheap and ran that on the car. It would have taken quite a bit to make some decent power since the Alpine wasnt that great but it would have been different and fun for sure.
