Nica’s Genesis build began yesterday after lunch with the Spec Stage II clutch installation. Our head technician at AMS, Ivan, was able to quickly remove the exhaust, driveshaft, and transmission. In order to install the clutch as noted in the instructions, the flywheel required some careful machining in order to properly seat the two pieces together. By day’s end, the clutch was installed.
We’ve come to the realization that more and more Hyundai Genesis 2.0 T owners now have great expectations when it comes to upgrading the performance of their cars now that the DynoJet CMD is available as an effective tuning program. Just a few weeks ago, AMS Performance received a call from one such owner named Nica with a final goal of around 400whp on her brand new 2010 Hyundai Genesis 2.0T R Spec. This is quite an impressive goal to say the least . . . but as usual, a goal we’re extremely eager to work with!
Nica is definitely no stranger to turbo-charged vehicles having owned a Subaru STI prior to her Genesis. Although she enjoyed driving and customizing her STI but was in search of something unique and different unto which she came across the Genesis 2.0T. Already knowing that the Genesis 2.0T Track package had been out for roughly a year, Nica did some research and decided to wait for the R-Spec – foregoing all the plush bells and whistles of the Track package while retaining all the raw hardware needed to create one powerful, well-rounded street tuner.
It brings us great pleasure to announce that our Championship winning Time Attack Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X is being displayed in the Mitsubishi Motors booth during the 2010 Chicago Auto Show. The show opens to the public this weekend and runs through February 21st.

Since I am on a budget I decided to stick with a stock Chevy LQ4 long block for my Hearse. The engine only has 18k on it so I am hoping this engine will last me the 2010 season. I turned to our friend Larry Hamilton at Speed Inc. in Schaumburg IL. for advice on some improvements to my LQ4 engine.

ATLANTA, MI (ACP Racing) — Defending North American rally champion Andrew “ACP” Comrie-Picard earned some strong early-season points with a fourth-place finish at the icy U.S. season opener this weekend in northern Michigan.
The NOS Energy-backed rally team of ACP and co-driver Jeremy Wimpey took a cautious approach to the start of the contest in some of the most challenging conditions ever seen in U.S. rally competition.
“It was like a luge course out there,” said Comrie-Picard. “The first few stages were the iciest I have ever seen… and the rally just got icier from there.”
