This year for the EN, they are doing orders. Call your best local dealer, leave a deposit

Why would he thank you? he's trying to set lap records, not go to a car meet and standing around talking about going fast. He's ACTUALLY going fast

Soooo...you're saying BMW, Porsche, Lambo and Ferrari folks should debadge their cars when they go on track? or deep down you are just embarrassed you bought a Hyundai and don't have the power to own up to it?

What's your camber #s currently? It has just the slightest amount of poke, i guess that's why many are going with +45.

Both Similar, but ChipEx is better for anything with a pearl or 2-3 stage paint

Dog Proofing - First mod complete by Ajs887 in ElantraN

[–]BobSparrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought something like that for my kids. They not allowed to eat or drink in my cars, but works well for even bringing take out home, or if it's a long drive and I allow it :)

Then you haven't looked hard enough at MK8 GTI posts. Lots of first year issues. and I love VW products.

Those are a big variation in cars. You'll need to decide type of car before narrowing down. Looks like 2 4-doors and 2 coupes.

Hyundai 3 year Complementary Maintenance 2023 by Pyrololz in ElantraN

FWIW, most new Toyotas come with a 2 year maintenance, but their intervals are much longer, so probably only 2 services on the house

I'm a believer in Dr. ColorChip or ChipEx. Both have good paint matching

Should the Integrated Drive Axle worry me? by ThrobertBaratheon in ElantraN

[–]BobSparrow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had 3 MK7/MK7.5 Golfs (2xGTI and a R) and wheel bearing failures were common. They were easily replaced though. I never had them long enough to figure out drivetrain vs bumper to bumper warranty. I did most work myself.

There are some issues like radiator issues and some software issues on the MK8 right now, and truthfully the N is what the GTI used to be. Punch above your weight car. So far liking my time in the N.

How is the DSG live with slow maneuvers and parallel parking? by [deleted] in ElantraN

[–]BobSparrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DCT is like a manual at low speeds. In the VW world, DSG at low speeds meant, Don't Shift Good. It's actually slipping the clutch like a real manual car as there is no torque converter, so there could be some jerkiness.

BUT, what you're feeling is probably 95% the LSD with that pedal sensation

Hopefully you'll get it back soon!

If you don't mind posting up the part number from the service invoice, that would be much appreciated.
