2012 Veloster

[Celerity]

I never realised, until seeing those pictures, how god-awful these cars with the huge "Mouth looking" radiator grills look when they are caked full of glazed white stuff.

Your car looks like Madonna's face on a sunday morning.

it was 55 degrees today. put the racing harts on, and something else!

and then a friend stopped by! '12 26.2 Yellow DCT NA with black interior. some plastidip, curt trailer hitch. devil claws.

 

[double0Si]

Claws look a lot better on the red. Digging the plastidip on the wheels (just did my friends 06' Si) but not so much the (whatever the fuck you call the bar thingy in the grill that every damn manufacturer is doing.)

replacing the bumper cover from jarrod's accident. he backed into his plowframe while borrowing the car. cost him $400... waiting on him to get home soon so i can walk over and grab the new red cover!

 

[TurboMirage]

installed my poly dogbone engine mounts... most of the shift slop between 1 and 2 are gone now!

received a set of NGM MetaRide springs with a 1.3in front drop and 1.1in rear drop. progressive rear only to help battle the solid rear axle shake the car has over shitty roads. i didnt bother getting any pics yet i wanted to wait a few days. the front springs are "oval" shaped... the rears just literally fall out when you unbolt the lower shock mounts.

also cars and coffee photos and my buddy matt from westfield... and jay's lexus / Evolv'd 's (Tony) evo .

this is matt's tech with plasti-dip wheels and eibach sportline springs. my car isnt dropped in these photos...

my front is dropped here, still settling a bit.

jay (standing) and matt goo-goning the dealer sticker.

ayla driving

ayla on my dads bike. this was shortly after we dropped the back end.

Nice Concours 1000. My friend has one, and is selling it if you're interested. Minty, minty condition.

Also, has to be the hardest fucking bike to ride at low speeds.

 

[TurboMirage]

i'm still looking for a ninja.

the bike is practically mint. low miles. all original. he even has the luggage racks for it. says its a whole 'nother bike without them on

 

[Celerity]

A ninja what ?

 

[TurboMirage]

some early red on black one... a 600R

 

[Jeef]

You get more than double my mpg.

 

[TurboMirage]

yep... and this is while driving like an asshole at speeds that approach 50mph. i can easily get 42+ on the highway

 

[Matts96HB]

That is pretty damn good MPG. Is this thing a turd or is it peppy?

 

[TurboMirage]

depends on what you compare it against i guess. i can be at 65 in 4th gear put my foot down and pass no problem. but the shift into 2nd gear puts you out of its happy zone, its like it needs a few hundred more revs to be there.

 

[dilbeckskate]

I like it, its different

 

[Celerity]

speeds that approach 50mph.

Impressive.

 

[TurboMirage]

artsy fartsy.

 

[TurboMirage]

24K miles on the veloster i finally popped the hood and scrubbed everything down.

I saw a red one on the highway yesterday coming home from work, I was going to try and rice on it, but was like a 50 yr old man driving it
