Question Mod choice

Upvotes

I’m thinking about getting a big mouth LED snorkel but for the price are there any other mods that would be better for looks or performance? I already have an intake so that’s why I was leaning towards that.

I cannot believe how well this car performed in July heat in Florida. Honestly the limiting factor for me was the PS4s getting too hot by lap 3 each session. Now i know to drop that PSI down!

Shoutout to The FIRM track and N Club Florida!

Dual clutch transmission fluid

4 Upvotes

Hey all,

My car is currently at 134 000kms and I was just wondering if it is necessary to get my Dual Clutch transmission fluid replaced? It was suppose to replaced during my previous car service (Service 3) however I ignored it since I was tight on cash and my local car Delearship quoted me 499$ CAD + Tax. Would it be important to get that done sometime soon? I baby the hell out of my car and never drive it aggressively.

Please let me know,

Thanks

I recently noticed a distinct rhythmic tapping/knocking sound coming from the engine.

The sound disappears and returns from time to time.

Has anyone encountered something like this?

Mods Built a structured way to document Veloster builds

33 Upvotes

Hey Veloster owners,

I’m affiliated with the platform.

We launched four months ago, and owners have already documented 1,000+ real builds representing more than $70M+ in vehicles, parts, and modifications.

The problem we’re trying to solve is simple: detailed builds end up scattered across forum threads, Instagram posts, notes, invoices, camera rolls, and old conversations. After a few years, even the owner has to dig around to remember the complete setup or what changed between track days.

For a Veloster track build, one permanent page can hold:

  • Full mod list and specifications
  • Suspension, alignment, and wheel/tire setup
  • Engine, cooling, brakes, aero, and weight reduction
  • Power-to-weight and dyno numbers
  • Track days, circuits, lap times, and top speeds
  • Photos with individual mods tagged
  • Build history and setup changes over time
  • Shops, clubs, and people involved

Here’s one of the most documented track build on the platform track Veloster with recorded lap times in the Nurburgring 🔥 :

pinkslips.app/vn-atw

Another crazy Veloster N that's running 510whp :

pinkslips.app/guillermo-t/la-coyote

I’d genuinely appreciate blunt feedback from Veloster owners. What else should a proper track-build record include, weather, tire pressures, alignment changes, track configuration, driver notes, or personal-best progression?

If you have a street, track, autocross, or gradually evolving Hyundai build, you can create a page and keep everything together instead of buried across posts, notes, and folders.

Discussion Happy to say I’m now a proud owner of a 2021 VN DCT

After my Miata got totaled, I’ve been on the hunt for something as affordable and fun. I used to be a hater but my wife convinced me to purchase a 2019 1.6T Turbo through Carvana. The first test drive blew me away, it felt nostalgic and familiar. Like a Miata on steroids. We owned it for about a week, we were planning on returning it due to engine issues that the warranty company denied (P0300) and other cosmetic stuff.

Feeling bummed, we were searching for a car and found this VN for sale that was newly listed. Completed the exchange process immediately and do not regret it.

It needs tires and brakes bc Carvana’s quality control is horrible (I know, I used to work there). But nonetheless, I feel like I got a steal. Best bang for your buck hot hatch and so much fun to drive. In comparison to the 1.6T, it’s genuinely a night and day difference.

Luckily these cars are manufactured in Korea and previous owner took care of it. Engine and chassis is in great condition for 86k miles.

Things happen for a reason and I’m glad I convinced my wife to upgrade from our original choice. If you have any recommendations on tunes and other bolt on upgrades, please let me know! This will be my wife and I’s project car.

Clutch feeling

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone today I test drove a 2022 hyundai veloster n manual. I really loved the car as it was fast and sounded good in n mode. I currently drive on weekends my 2007 hyundai accent that I have modified like header, intake, lowered ,17s and short shifter with few rare sr parts.

The only thing I didn't like about the car is how pushing and releasing the clutch. If i was to buy this to make it my weekend toy to replace my accent is there away I can change the way the pedal feels to how my accent or a honda does?

Just got the tbw undertray and it fits good, the only problem was the two end screws on the radiator support too short. Besides that looks great im satisfied, and now im waiting for winter to test it out.

Question Resonator delete

0 Upvotes

I’m thinking about doing a resonator delete on my Veloster n, but I also do a lot of longer drives and I don’t want it to be droning while I’m going interstate speeds. Does anybody that has already done a resonator delete have any input of how it sounds on a regular work commute?

Maintenance Brakes "popping"

7 Upvotes

I am hoping someone else has run into this. After it rains and that this later of rust forms on my rotors, when I go into drive the brakes will "pop" free and then they work normally.

Has anyone else run into this and what was the cause/fix? Is this something that I need to get addressed rather soon?

Question Blown wheel bearing?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I was driving the other day and heard this weird scraping noise and I’m not sure if it’s just a small rock in the brake system or a wheel bearing. I just threw new wheels and tires on and the specs are 225/40r18 with 18x8.5 +45 if that changes anything.
It’s hard to hear over the crickets in the background but it’s a consistent pulsing grinding sound.

Looking to buy this Veloster N. Only 5k miles and it looks to be 25 OTD. Would love to hear your opinions on this. Didn’t take it home today due to blind spot warning going off when no vehicles were near it.

Question VN DCT Fluid Change

Doing my transmission oil today and I'd like to know if there's a specific torque spec that I need to torque my drain & fill bolt to when I get to it.

Any other information about the fluid change would be great as well if you guys have any extra info that would be useful.

Question Another HPFP Post

Post image
64 Upvotes

Fuel pump finally went out at 83,000 miles, honestly lucky to have made it this long. The TSB ECU flash is horrendous because apparently all it does is stop your car from going fully into limp mode, but now it doesn’t throw a CEL so you can probably fry your engine if you keep driving it.

Anyway, the wait time at my local dealerships for a warranty appointment is 3 months and I’m not even going to try and deal with that whole process, so wondering has anyone done the HPFP themselves and how difficult/long did it take? And any recommendations on the Sonata one vs other aftermarket options?
