I just bought my VN 2 days ago and have just been driving it to break it in! I took the dealer installed front plate off. I'm a lil bummed about the 3 holes in the front grill but nobody will ever notice it unless I pointed it out.

The car is amazing. As soon as I drove I was just blown away. This is not a normal Hyundai. I am so happy to give up a lot of the extra features and creature comforts for this engine, transmission, exhaust, brakes, and e-LSD. I could go on and on about everything that I love so far.

I gotta keep racking up the miles before I give my full opinion though!

The i30N is specifically made for the oversea market and not available in the US. However, the Elantra 5 door is the US version and is now available in Sport/GT trim, with both a 1.6T Gamma and 2.0 Theta engines. We'll just have to wait patiently for and improved model for the US.:wink:


@Velocitas_Eradico; Oh, hi David Joseph Torello . I see your lurking around this forum, without even owning a Veloster. You're treading thin ice bud. Your other "name," has been banned from the other forum and nearly at the other one also. They're watching you quite carefully. They have enough information as of now, to ban your IP address/s permanently. You might want to re-think being here.:wink:

Blessings and Peace

Received the felt Door Kick Protection and center console, (black) neoprene cover. Installed the cover and the black arm buddy, elbow pads for the doors and center console. 3M Clear Bra has been installed, $1500 worth and full protection. WeatherTech trunk mat with roll out tail gate cover installed. Next is to install the rear cargo net. Most everything in the way of accessories is coming from the Hyundai Shop. Ordered WeatherTech Full Sunscreens fro all windows.

Install tomorrow of the Power Pedal. Waiting to install the DTUK Piggyback ECU until I have it broken-in and dyno sessions scheduled. Next up Garage Line BOV. I'll post photos of everything this week once they are completed.

Blessings and Peace
 
and seeing as it is winter here and I am not putting winter tyres on her I am having it flat-bedded over to to a shop for a full body wrap.

Apart from protecting the paint I think that British Racing Green will look very good on her.

Pictures to follow when finished
Gerald! Will certainly be looking forward to seeing the new Brit Green. Full body wrap sounds like a big job!
 
Nothing! I sprained my ankle on Sunday playing pick-up soccer and I'm so bummed I haven't been able to drive!

I did get my car back from the dealer on Monday after leaving it there over the weekend due to a QA issue from the factory. Somebody didn't plug in the radiator fan so my car overheated while I was idling in traffic!
 
Oh man! It has a good warranty and a limp mode so I doubt you harmed the motor. If it did, it's on them!!

The 2019 TurboXS Veloster N Hybrid Blow Off Valve is newly designed valve for the Veloster N. Specifically designed inlets and outlet to fit in the compact footprint on the Veloster N. The valves are hybrid design to recirculates some of the air flow back to the intake and a portion out to atmosphere.

I'm concerned with the possibility of the OEM internal BOV developing diaphragm failure, with the addition of a Tuner, when I get round to it. Both tuners from RaceChips and DTUK raise boost to over 25+ psi. OEM Boost is set at max over boost @21 psi.

I’m just north of the border in Vancouver if you ever want to meet up. I’m looking for the few VN owners In the PNW
 
When I went to pick up my N there was a white Elantra GT N-Line in the showroom.

Man that is a sharp looking car! Love the red seat belts, stitching and accents. Ton's of space inside and really nice body lines. If that had the punch that the Veloster N did I would have opted for it instead for sure. Hyundai, why you know i30N/Elantra GT N in North America?!
This is amazing!
 
Has anyone swapped the interior lights to LED white? Thinking about doing it, but dont know where to start... Especially weary about those ebay kits.
Yes, I did it, with an eBay kit even. PM me if you have any questions or problems.

They are fine, it's a pain in the ass though because LED's have to be put in the right way. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES think you can do it without pulling the fuse. You cannot. Pulling the fuse is VERY easy.
So for example (the most painful example) if you are doing the mirror lights on the passenger side. Open fuse box under drivers seat and pull the 7.5A light fuse (read the diagram on the fuse box cover to see which one). walk around and sit in passenger seat. Use trim tool and pry off light fixture, pull out the light, put in the LED(Carefully, its an insanely tight fit and I broke one, the eBay seller sent me a replacement, do these last as they are the least used lights). Get out of the car, walk back around to drivers side. Replace 7.5A fuse. Light doesn't come on. Pull fuse back out. Go back around to passenger side. Pull light out, flip around and try to squeeze it back in, probably break it but if you don't replace light fixture back into roof. Go back to drivers side. Put in fuse. Light turns on. Congratulations, you have now done 1/6 lights.

The map lights are super easy... the dome light also once you realize how to pop out the cover. The mirror lights are a HUGE pain in the ass(because of the fragility of the LED's). The trunk light can be pulled out completely which is what I would recommend as it will be easier to take it apart at your desk and then reconnect it. The license plate lights were REALLY easy by comparison.

The car is MUCH brighter in the dark. However you should definitely know that the starker shadows of the white LED's are very unflattering to a... uh... backseat...... "driving partner"
 
Well not today but yesterday.


added some wheel spacer adapters.

15mm Front. 20mm Rear.
I would love to do the spacers, but worried about rocks and debris hitting the paint and not the wheel well. The way I'm looking at the car is like this. Albert Biermann designed this car, and tuned this car for the performance it has now with the existing parts it has now. When you go and start changing things out or adding things you start messing with the way the car was designed. Anything I do has to compliment what Albert Biermann was trying to do with this car. Not sure how much more performance you will get with the spacers though. A wider stance should help with stability, but will the computer and the active dampening system adjust for that? These are the questions I have. But will definitely be adding some upgraded performance parts very soon.

Much easier way; All you have to do is turn the fuse panel switch to off. Pull the interior fuse panel cover and in the middle of the fuse panel there is a switch, just turn it to the off position while changing the interior lights. Once you're done, just switch it back to the on position.

Probably true, I was worried about losing my settings somewhere and the interior lights are on their own separate fuse, that's why I did it this way. Can you confirm that it won't mess with the infotainment settings to turn the fuse panel switch off? I ask because I have some other work I wanted to do and this would definitely save me time and effort.
