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.....😋😘

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've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
