Introduction:
Hi, My name is Jon and this is the build thread for my 2013 VT.
The car was purchased on 4/4/13, from Meriden Hyundai here in Ct. The sales experience was painless and the staff was quite friendly and helpful.
She is an Ultimate Black with the Ultimate Package. My only complaint was that the car had the Blue trimline. I however swapped that out with an other forum member.
As parts are ordered and installed I will update this thread...

As I was saying to Bruce, it's not so much the improvement in power, it's the smoothing and more linear power delivery.
The Power really feels like a straight line building up and up and up. There is little to no 'wave/hesitation' any more.

Still have the gold wheels, for now.
Next up is winter rubber.
I have new rollers, summer rubber and a bunch of suspension grubbins in the wings awaiting the spring thaw.
Also have an intake project sitting in the wings, sort of building my parts list for that slowly.
Lastly I'm planning out a rack in the boot for my tools...

I drove whiteboy's/Josh's today with 10 clicks front and rear and it's a fantastic ride---way softer/more streetable/light years better than what we had at 21 clicks rear/25 fronts for the track---I think at maybe 6-8 clicks rear and you'd have a smoooooshyyy rear ride...

Just got back from leveling out the rears. I think this will be much better now. Lifted back up about a 1/4". Little bit more streetable like this.
And IMO, 15/10 is right where I want them. I feel that at those settings it's a really good compromise between street and performance. Road feel is telegraphed straight to the wheel and seat of the driver. Perhaps on drives over two hours it might get to be a bit much, but I doubt it.
I like my cars the way I like my women. Tight and angry. And a little big in the rear.
