I read it as new chat thread and wondered what was wrong with the old one.

The old one was in the members section and the old members were removed from there so now we have this one to stay in touch

Duncan why do you have so many things for sale!

Ha! That thread has been up since you last logged on.

I have a bunch of other stuff to move, wait until the internet finds out I have a working Epson EJ1 I don't need.

@evil_weevil how’s the i30 going? Thinking about buying one myself as it seems like the most sensible of the cars I was considering 

My daughter just purchased a new Kia Cerento GT, "apparently" going of reviews it has basically the same driveline as the i30 N line premium, apart from the transmission options 

Both had typically warranty IIRC

She went looking at both, she said they were both similar inside, but she liked the inside of the Kia better and the Kia had a little more room inside

She ended up going the Kia Cerento GT because it ended up a few grand cheaper than the i30 N line premium 

She has to wait for it though as she wanted some premium pearly white paint

In saying that, even with the extra costs for the paint and other accessories she ticked the box for, it was still a few grand cheaper

How it holds up long term wise compared to the Hyundai is something that will have to wait and see

They way I see it they are both great cars for girls.....😋😘

The mrs has the Kona N and it’s been great, I’m looking at the i30N with the manual and just not sure as the last manual Hyundai I drove was an excel and felt terrible

I had a 2011 i30 manual diesel.

Box in it was what you'd expect from a normal driving car.

 

Oddly after having the work EV for the last 8 or so weeks, it's weird driving a manual on the street. And I'm not sure I could buy a traditional manual for street duties again.

 

The Hyundai's and Kia, they're going to pretty much perform the same as each other longevity wise. Most of the electronics, drives etc are all shared.

I have a lot of technical documentation from Hyundai, and it's all headered as "Hyundai Kia".

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
