I have had my new I30N now for just over 7 weeks now and have just covered over 1000 miles .

must say i am very impressed so far and can agree with the praise the car gets from the motoring world .

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 .

Tri_Doc said:

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.

[kaveney]

Gave the car a quick wash at the weekend and still loving it .

Awesome car, a lot quicker than my Korean car, I have a kia niro hybrid

[kaveney]

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 .

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 .

Kev_Mk3 said:

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

I'm about 300 miles behind you and still love it apart from dealer / after sales care which I've found crap lol

[Kaveney]

Yes amended as its not done that much i hope .

At the weekend i got round to removing my GPF and replacing it with a GPF dummy .


GPF Removed .





Stock GPF .










HDT motor sport GPD dummy .










GPF and GPF dummy .





Also gave the car a good clean .

[Kaveney]

With this unit from Germany no eml light should come on I have been told by a few people who run this but we will see and I have a code reader to cancel out the code if it does come on .

The noise is rather amazing now with the gpf dummy and remus exhaust system.

Kev_Mk3 said:

Nice. Be good to know how long it takes your EML light to come on as it will.

[Kaveney]

A small update to this thread with another part fitted to the car .



I have received my HDT Motorsport large bore flex down pipe to go with the other exhaust parts on the car .



The HDT Motorsport large boar flex down pipe has a 70 mm bore size and the stock OEM flex down pipe is 50 mm unit and should add another 7 BHP to the car with this pipe alone and a touch more exhaust noise .



HDT Motorsport large bore flex down pipe .












OEM flex down pipe .







OEM vs new unit .










And installed .

Just seen the spelling error and corrected .

I now get the boar joke

Mac. said:

Looks like a nice install, I've seen some people make a pig's ear out of it

[Kaveney]

Yes the W word is a good point but the parts do improve the car so much so might be worth looking at then your W is over .

Kev_Mk3 said:

Looks decent really want to go to town with mine but waiting for the W word to be over lol

[Kaveney]

I sure do it is hdt motorsport in Germany.

And nust to update you the gpf delete pipe still is not showing any faults after 3 months now.

Kev_Mk3 said:

do you have a link for said pipe?

[Kaveney]

Hi there yes still no cel light and I have don over 2000 miles now so no cel light will ever come on running this set up .

Tbh it is the best thing I have done to the car as it does realy give the car some noise in n or sport mode ut is still nice and quit in normal.

It will also add around 15 - 20 bhp for the down pipe and gpf dummy .

Let me know if you need any more info .

HHP said:

Hi, I’m thinking if ordering the HDT dummy & possibly the flex pipe too. Is everything still ok with the CEL? Would you consider it a worthwhile mod? Thanks.

[Kaveney]

Yes I put the stock parts on for the yearly service .

HHP said:

Great, thank you. I’ve placed an order for the non res one. Let’s see how I get on. Ps, did you swap back for servicing at Hyundai etc?
