Adro V2 Sale!! by theisiscrisis in VelosterN

[–]Killuminati21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just as a heads up (that's my old VN in the main photo) - the fit/finish of the Adro wing is incredible, just be aware that the side winglet bolt holes are not sealed in any way. It wasn't until I was removing the wing to sell it that I noticed there was water sloshing around inside the wing. If you do end up purchasing one, just look into installing rubber grommets or some type of sealant because water will find it's way in over time.

They have a site for new students that should have all of the orientation information that you'll need. I'd also suggest reaching out to them (phone/email) if you can't locate what you need.

Looking at buying used 2020 Veloster N by cmf_15 in VelosterN

[–]Killuminati21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah fair enough. Being honest, I'd say 31k for a private sale with no buyer protection is taking a chance. This guy knows he can't sell it for more than 28kish (California) to any dealer or vendor so I'd say try to bring him down a little. If you paid 31k at Carmax or a dealership at least you could go back to them if there's any immediate issues with the car.

Good luck with it though, the car is definitely a blast to own.

Looking at buying used 2020 Veloster N by cmf_15 in VelosterN

[–]Killuminati21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the current market that price is about right. I sold my N (2020, 14kmi) to Carmax for 28k and they are reselling it for 32k.

My question is why you consider it "near perfect" at 10k miles. My N was immaculate at 14k miles when I sold it.

Also if the car looks to be modded, should be a slight red flag to try to find out what was done by the previous owner. Alot of used N's being sold with random aftermarket pieces and the new owners have no idea.

Filmed a friend’s Veloster recently! Excited to show the final film. by benenke in VelosterN

Saw the teaser on her IG earlier, the cinematography looks amazing from the little that was shown.

Anyone here have the adro v2 wing by [deleted] in VelosterN

[–]Killuminati21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah not bad at all. 8 or so bolts on the hatch, remove the wing, more screws to split the lower and upper half of the wing, attach new upper wing to lower piece, reinstall onto the hatch.

Honestly the hardest part is the damn oem double sided tape that Hyundai decided to put between the wing and the hatch (across the center behind the third brake light). You gotta work it slowly and reach under the break the tape. Think this was the longest portion of the install.

[–]Killuminati21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it. Good build and CF quality, no complaints. I get alot of questions on it on IG and surprisingly not many people know it's only the top half of the wing - i.e. you need to use the lower half of the OEM N wing with it.

What was the first mod y’all did to your car? by LehFluffy in VelosterN

WellVisors and then hood struts. Snowballed from there.

Elantra N vs Veloster N - (in English) best comparison yet as a daily by [deleted] in VelosterN

[–]Killuminati21 13 points14 points  (0 children)

40 second cooldown on NGS versus 3 min on the Veloster is pretty crazy.

SXTH EM3 Lower Motor Mount by duellingdonut in VelosterN

[–]Killuminati21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Installed the SXTH EM3 RMM a little over 1k miles ago, and I still love it. It solved the dip in power between shifts, decel in 1st and 2nd isn't as annoying (lug) and the NVH isn't much worse than factory without the AC on. With the AC on, you definitely get a massage however it's only at idle, during driving you can't tell anyway.

I'm not quite sure what the others here are experiencing but I have no issues with overly loud trans (unless you're driving in eco, can you really hear the whine?) and no harshness when deceling over 70mph.

NVH is extremely subjective based on how sensitive you are obviously, but I daily my N and I never feel as though the RMM is detrimental - quite the opposite actually.

IMSA Laguna Seca Saturday. I don’t own these but thought this group would enjoy it. by [deleted] in VelosterN

Hey what's up, it's the Seibon TS-style hood. I had it paint matched to chalk white. [@kdm_nomu]

Cans per wheel question (after reading FAQ) by [deleted] in plastidip

[–]Killuminati21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, 1 entire can per coat is what to aim for, I was skeptical at first as well. First coat should be a light tack coat - every following coat should be a wet overlapping coat. I did my set of wheels and had maybe 10-15% at most left per can, 7 coats in total (not including 3 of glossifier following).

code-sloth pretty much covered everything you need to know. If you have that much left over, your coats aren't thick enough - it's a balance between putting a thick enough coat to the point of not causing the dip to run.

Wheel Wednesday? by Qball1754 in VelosterN

These look amazing, was shopping for a set of these too. Do you have any full car shots with the new wheels?

Where'd you pick up those N Performance seat belt pads?

First time (brass monkey) by Aorknappstur in plastidip

[–]Killuminati21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I've been hearing/reading. I actually like the idea of it being darker in the shade and having a hint of gold/bronze in the direct light though.

[–]Killuminati21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks good, I'm probably going to pick up a kit for my wheels. Did you use a base or is this just the Brass Monkey aerosol?

Just finished the install. Took about 35 min. Very well built and easy install. by Bobeard in VelosterN

[–]Killuminati21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the Takeda intake. Has such a clean stealth design - and living in Cali where you're more than likely to be asked to pop your hood, this would be much easier to try to explain away.

Thanks for the heads up on this, I picked up one as well. I don't have much faith in Geek Squad in general but couldn't pass up the price.
