Hi everyone! I recently purchased a Veloster Rally Edition and found this awesome forum so I figured I would share my build and future plans. I've been taking a lot of information from here over the last couple of months because I know barely anything about Velosters or Hyundai in general (I owned and was building an EG civic for 12 years before buying this car).
I bought the car, repaired title, from my dad's shop on the west coast and immediately drove 3000 miles back home to the east coast. The first owner did a whole heap of modifications and have been busy the last few months fixing and upgrading it. For what I paid for it though I'm not complaining. Its been a hell of a car so far. Pulls really hard... loud as shit... I love it!
I will keep editing this initial post with updates and continue to add posts on work that has been done with pictures, parts and whatever else relating to the build. For now here are a few pictures of the car after I got it home.
Now onto what I've done so far. (This will constantly be updated)
