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".

    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
