Sister said why have you got a girls car colour and at Goodwood last week got lots of nice comments so you are correct about only some people knowing what it is .

If I hadn't bought an estate i'd 100% have got one of these. Love the colour. I like that to many non-car people its simply a hyundai but gets huge acknowledgement from anyone in the know.
Very good as in normial its fine but in N mode can be a bit firm .
Same for the exhaust not to loud but in N mode very loud so can do what ever you mood is .
Regards

Really considering one of these as the next family car, how are you finding living with it day to day on British roads?
I love the sound of the sports exhaust, but it was a lot louder with it deactivated than I thought it would be, maybe just the cold start.

Very well thanks .
It is so good to drive and i cant sing its praises enough .
Best thing is it can be a car for what ever mood you are in from early morning quit and good ride to full attack N mode with aggressive exhaust noise and very firm suspension set up .

How are you getting on with the i30N?
A few pics from the car that was used as a back up / load lugger for our Nurburgring trip .
And a below vid from Evo about the I30N fast back at the Ring and a top speed run of 168 MPH

Time for an update on the car as its now just ticked over the 4,500 miles mark .
All is going well and the are is still putting a big smile on my face .
I have also had the time to make a few small upgrades so with some time off the car was put up on axle stands .
First I have changed the engine oil after the running in miles and have also now changed the gear box oil .
Old gear box oil and plug

New MT-LV gear box oil in the correct 70W GL4 grade .
Old and new gear oil .
Then to change out the OEM paper air filter to a Pipercross unit .
OEM air filter .
New Pipercross foam air filter .
Old and new .
All done .
Next was to add a Racechip GTS Black tuning box with app controller

This gives a small boost in power at + 30 ish BHP and torque gain of +75 LB/FT so should make the car around 300 BHP and 355 LB/FT and can also be removed very easy to take the car back to stock .
I have also got and installed the racechip XLR pedal box module that works with the same Racechip tuning box app .
l]
Last was to install a Remus GPF back exhaust system with Carbon fiber and titanium exhaust tips
Stock system .
Remus GPF back system .
The Remus system is 11 mm larger than the stock system .
Stock 65mm vs Remus 76 .
And all installed .
Some small upgrades that make the car even better IMHO .

TBH i like the system and do not want anything too loud and the warranty approved thing made my mind up .

Any reason to go for the remus other than its now warranty approved?
