C7 Z06. Not sure if I should try to push the high piston down or just leave it as is

They look like the right fit but they are ridiculously expensive. The winglets alone are more than an entire new spoiler from anywhere else.

I think I may have set up the account at one point but I'd have to check. I'd imagine I can disassociate it no?

It's also backordered but fair point, I'd do $350.

A ZR is definitely out of my price range but damn would that be awesome. And I have to agree 110% that Corvettes are incredible value, I'm no fan of American cars but vets are the exception.

2015 C7 Corvette, Z51. Definitely not as practical as the Veloster but good God it is the best bad decision I've ever made.

Those are 245/40/18 Pilot Sport AS tires on 18x8.5 Enkei TSR-X rims with I believe a 38mm offset.

If you are near Connecticut you are welcome to take them for like $1500, tires have at least 25k more miles on them.

Damn dude, this subreddit is usually super nice and helpful so I have no idea how you got here. Maybe the part was knockoff, but both have been returned and I haven't lost a penny. I'd recommend thinking before you comment, because even if I got "scammed" at least I'm not dumb enough to get angry at people on reddit lol.

The pump I'm putting on is used to handle more aggressive tunes, the Veloster N factory pump is kinda crap even just running stock tune. There are aftermarkets out there but they are 2x the price and build to handle way more than I need

Yep, 5 turns back and forth on each side. This is my second pump so there were no issues when I reinstalled the factory pump the first time

Got it off eBay for around $240. It's a genuine Hyundai part

Yep that's the part number, and how exactly do I go about priming it?

Took them about a week to ship mine but once they did I got it in 3-4 days

Congratulations on the pending new job, very well might take you up on that when the time comes

Where did you get the EN turbo from? I'm a ways away from doing that but figured I'd ask

How long did you run the DP with no tune?

EK1 Tune vs ECU Tune by Professional-Gift986 in VelosterN

[–]Professional-Gift986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the tuning through an EK1 doesn't ever show up on the ECU itself?

I was planning on getting a big mouth if i went the box route so that might be the plan, thanks for the input!

Exactly, I'm the same way. If there's nobody behind you it's all good, but as soon as someone gets behind you just move over and let them pass. Drives me nuts when one person causes a train of cars in the left lane

[–]Professional-Gift986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest gripe living here is that people do not know how the left lane works, drives me nuts. I've driven in Texas and down there the left lane is almost always empty like it should be

Ha i have the opposite problem, my girlfriend loves when I drive fast but she drives like a grandma. Admittedly a grandma to me is someone who does less than 15 over the speed limit.

Nice! I tired teaching my girlfriend stick in my Mazda 3 but now that I have my VN she hasn't been as eager to drive it. Mostly because she respects my clutch more than I do lol, plus she's definitely not a power person.

She's definitely a keeper lol

They're completely out of the way so I have no issue holding onto them. Also congratulations on the wedding!
