So sedans are just the Hank Hills of hatchbacks. Works for me.

MunchE posted:Yup, it's fully customizable too. It has different gauges for the different modes and in N mode it just goes to Tach in the middle with your temps and boost around the side. Or if you want you can force all the modes to use your favorite gauge faces. It's been a lot of fun playing with the split personality stuff in the car. I've had the VN for 1.5 years now. Haven't had any issues so far, knock on wood. Heard that Elantra's (some?) had a recall for something, but nothing for Veloster. I was impressed with the customization options on Veloster, but this is just on another level. I only have a small screen on the dash. skipdogg posted:How much was it to change the filter? I don't know exactly, I think it's around $60CAD or so. I don't have the knowledge, tools or space to do it so for me it's an actual mechanic no matter what. Plus, it's still in warranty so that kinda means the dealer.

So as mentioned upthread I had been planning to buy a GR Corolla, and was going to mount some Fifteen52s that I absolutely love. I still love these rims but... uh, IDK. Not sure that it works so well on the JCW Countryman I got instead. Thoughts?

I love the white Turbomacs but I don’t think that looks good at least in the mock-up. Maybe a different color would work but it’s not doing anything for me.

Yeah pretty much what I thought. Would like to mock these Konigs up but unfortunately it looks like only Fifteen52 bothers to shoot a photo of a rim dead-on center I reckon these would look fantastic

Otherwise this one might specific to downsizing on the Kona N, but if you swap wheels, watch for the brake clearance. I plan to go down from 19s to 18s, which generally should fit, but some wheels don't give enough internal clearance for the brakes on the KN at least.

If the wagon had been auto it wouldn’t have even hit his radar. 308k miles and needed zero things for safety inspection. PO did an 850R IPD exhaust on it, IPD filter, Koni shocks, Eibach springs, new tires, Powerstop brakes etc etc.

At this point, this is the “sporty consumer car” thread. Not an SUV? Not a truck? Not a dedicated Sports Car? It belongs in the Hot Hatch thread. Cause like… where else was a WRX or Jetta GLI gonna go? They belong in here, with us, alongside weirdo Volvos and maybe (if someone’s bold) a Roadmaster Wagon.

japtor posted:Probably...cause that thing was also a rabbit: They did a stop sale for the DCT issue so I assume mine got the update. I'd love to go down to 18s for track tires but I'm gonna run it at time attack and AutoX a bit and see how the stock tires do. On my S4 I actually ran better times on PS4S than my RT660s.

wolrah posted:Tire Rack has a "how would these wheels look on your car" thing with a pretty good selection to pick from. They don't seem to stock Konigs but you can probably find something with a similar appearance to get you in the ballpark. Ideally there's someone with the same or similar car and wheels that'll pop up in an image search, like if you look for Countryman and Fifteen52 or Turbomac there's a first gen white one with them.

Cross posting: Scored a Mishimoto exhaust for the FiST at a reasonable price from the eBay and got it put on today in about 50 minutes. It’s pretty quiet compared to the clips I’d heard on YouTube but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, I guess.   I sweat the tips are level!

Hey thread I haven’t been here in awhile, couple quick questions. My buddy is looking at getting a 2019 Veloster N with just under 10k miles and I was wondering: -Car is a good idea right? -Anything mechanically notorious to look at in such a young car?

Rolo posted:Hey thread I haven’t been here in awhile, couple quick questions. My buddy is looking at getting a 2019 Veloster N with just under 10k miles and I was wondering: We drove one back to back with a Type R and a G70 2.0/manual. It was definitely the loudest and least comfortable of the three but didn't feel any less capable than the Type R. That is to say, it handled extraordinarily well, to the extent that it did that zippy go-kart feel a bit better even than the Type R. Trunk is small for the hatchback segment, and the rear seat is tight (I could not sit straight, I'm 6'6" so that's typical). If you don't regularly drive 9 hours at a time, it may well be best in class.

He commutes about 45 minutes a day and has a 6 year old that will take up the back until he weighs enough but that’s it. He also has access to a beater truck if he needs it. He basically just wants to get into cars and loves the one he test drove. I’m being a dork and checking for anything lemon-like because I know nothing about them. It’s the performance blue with the N Performance package so at the bare minimum it looks rad as hell.

Hi Hot Hatch thread. Just drove my new-to-me 2017 GLA45 home today. Coming from an ‘08 Mazda3 that was more check engine light than car, so this is a breath of fresh air. Posted here a while back about a Veloster so it’s now obvious I did… not go in that direction.

Sup hot hatch thread, it's been a minute. I had a 2019 (or was it an 18?) Veloster N for a short time and loving loved it. The only problem I had with it was the e-brake, which would freeze up if I parked it for more than 24 hours. Was sad to see it go, but I couldn't afford two cars. The blue is super sharp and the 3rd door will help with loading the kiddo in and out. It sings you a happy little song when you get in and compared to my FiST the creature comforts are a huge upgrade. Fun car, your friend will love it.

Yeah that number is definitely zero. The photo is from the dealer’s garage and there were a surprising number of 500s about :O And thanks! I was hunting for a white or red GLA but the black really grew on me quickly, which is good because that’s what it came in lol. It feels very understated in black without the body kit which is pretty much the look I was going for.
