Thank you!! I’m definitely pleased with it

Yessirr😎

I haven’t done too many exterior mods. Really just side skirt decal and mud flaps but that’s it

@@KonaNthusiast What have you done for the side skirt decal? Mine gets dirty too fast in the N creavase.

@@S.Madman I ordered a decal sticker from a guy on Facebook, mine always gets dirty too haha but I also just ripped half of it off while on track a few weeks ago lol

Yes I will do a sound clip video in the next week or so

Ahh that makes sense! Thanks for the tip. Yeah you definitely need 0w for Chicago in the winter haha

@KonaNthusiast yes we do but if you think about it, 0w flows to the moving parts even faster, thus getting lubed up even quicker💡

@@klasseact6663 that’s true

So I actually just figured this out last week. Once you open up google maps on CarPlay, click on the settings icon and choose satellite map and it should change it automatically.

Thank you 🙌🏽

@KonaNthusiast word of advice, if you plan on track your car. Invest in.a oil cooler. Keep doing your thing 👌🏽

@@NBABY-J thanks man, yeah I was thinking about getting one eventually but I honestly only track the car 1-2 times a year. It’s definitely on the bucket list for sure though

Thanks bro! 😎

Thanks bro! Trying to get like you 😎 haha

@@KonaNthusiast hah, you already there man! Keep it up!

I believe mine came from my sxth bov

Nice, that’s not bad at all, especially for 87 octane!

@KonaNthusiast I ran 87 on my Gen Coupe. I traded it at over 134k miles and she still ran like a top. If you are not banging the engine off the rev limiter it is not noticeable. On back roads when I pass illegally I am shifting by 5k or less. I am probably a bit easier on my engine than many others. Tires...not so much.

@@arthurmroyce Nice. Yeah these cars don’t even require full throttle to have fun, just throw it around into a few corners and that’s all you need

Nice! Yeah it definitely would’ve brought the price into the 40s, but it would’ve been nice to have those features as well

Yeah but this is pretty much intended to be a track car...​@@KonaNthusiast

@@BenBrrown yes, but what I’m saying is other countries have these features on the Kona N. Just doesn’t make sense to not offer it to every market

Unfortunately we do not get a limited version of the N here in the states. It’s just a mix of the base and the limited

I’m not sure of the elevation, but like I said in the video, the issues I had on that night were related to boost. My intake had an incorrect coupler for my inlet. I have an updated video coming out soon of it does at the drag strip. But yeah I’m trying to get ECU tune one day, but I’m in no rush. I’ve raced my friend’s EN with stage 2 ECU tune and I kept up

@@KonaNthusiast no doubt. The jb4 is a good tool for sure. What you gain with the ecu tune is octane learning is always maxed out so you can full performance at all times. The jb4 unfortunately doesn’t override octane learning

@@Talaria567 that is true, that’s definitely my main gripe with JB4. Whenever I’m octane learned it’s way faster but I usually don’t ever get a chance to octane learn here because of traffic

Yes, about 1k before the install

Oh wow, that’s crazy. Mine has been pretty solid so far Glad to hear your install experience went well, definitely wish I could say the same lol But yeah I’m sorry you had experience. But yeah it’s hard to find solid tuning these days, I think most are good but all seem to have at least one short fall

@KonaNthusiast yeah and even though LAP3 has been around since 2002, @$1900 for how I'd spec my ECU tune, I'd have $3000 tied up in 2 ECU tunes. I'm going to try and sell my spare ECU to recoup some of my lost tune money🤷‍♂️

Hyundai of Germany has a nice cover for the stock airbox it has plexiglass but is very solid and the N performance logo is on it and it is a factory part.

@@cindysue5474 that's the N Performance intake they sell in S. Korea at the dealerships as an upgrade, I got mine from Shark 🦈 Racing, along with they turbo inlet pipe that matches up with it, nice kit/combo😉

@@klasseact6663 The one I seen looks a little different I will have to check again.

😮‍💨😎

Sheesh but yeah definitely needed small hands for that job lol

​@KonaNthusiast dumb question but why do they have the N available in an suv, when it isn't as cool as the sedans? Ironically saw a 24 kona driven by an elderly couple today (I live in Australia btw) and my thought of them is that it looks like they have come from the future with the occupants being aliens in disguise (they even asked the group I was with, where we got our food from, first thing you do when you arrive in the past, is look for food). But seriously, I think they look ugly and people only find suvs cool if the design is like how they try to make 4x4s "tough". I saw a video where they doing time trials, weaving in and out of "k"ones and I cringed when I saw the suv do the course, just don't look and the one in the video, didn't sound cool (like no popping and cracking), unlike the two sedans in the video who took the course before the suv. But I guess hyndai must appeal to all sorts of people - but you can't really "race" in an suv due to the dynamics and size of the thing (and the N is supposed to be all about the track and performance). But yeah, I guess it's something that appeals to you, but probably not to some other people

Nice! Congrats and welcome to the N family

Well every VN and KN has the same complaint, regardless of what time of year they are driven. They’re just trash

@@KonaNthusiast every Elantra N owner would also have the same complaint if there were dumb enough to use them in the winter. All summer tires (ps4s and pirelli pzero) only are recommended for 45 degrees f and up

@@adamz4737 okay bud 👍🏽

Interesting switch but I dig it. Better mpgs and less aggressive suspension

That’s true! It is easier to get in and out of, it’s definitely way more playful

Nice, you should get it 👀😎

Agreed!

No problem 🤙🏽

Yeah I’m curious too, I watched a video of someone driving it the other day and it doesn’t seem like it’s much better

True true, but the wheels aren’t the main reason for me wanting the Elantra N. I always just prefer the interior and driving the dynamics over the Kona’s.

Yeah I found that out after recording this 🤦🏽‍♂️ it’s definitely weird that it’s getting less, maybe the new front end is less efficient 🤷🏽‍♂️

Just because it's measured differently doesn't mean that translates to the real world. I am getting exactly the same economy vs my old 22.

@@andywiththen that’s true. I always outperform my highway EPA numbers. It’s just weird that the EPA rating went down

@@andywiththen That's good to know. Enjoy it.

@KonaNthusiast That's possible, it definitely looks less aerodynamic to my eye. It would be interesting to know the drag coefficients of each.

Sorry to hear about your injectors, but I’m glad you’re enjoying the Elantra. Too bad it’s not an N

What exactly was your KN doing when the injectors went bad🤔

@@klasseact6663 usually it would give out a very lean smoke out the exhaust and it would run with a misfire, sounded just like a Subaru

@@KonaNthusiast hmmm, I had an issue of partial throttle making it "stumble" and once threw a misfire code for cylinder #2, cleared and no problem. The solution was swapping OUT my tuned ECU and putting the stock one BACK IN, smooooth. 440 miles of waste🤔

@@klasseact6663 wow that’s weird actually

Sorry to hear that man! I’d definitely recommend a few things to help out with that. Message me on instagram.

Thanks man 🤙🏽

I haven’t experienced any issues with the interior or seats wearing. Also the transmission has been a gem, no issues whatsoever with that so far. Only issue I have is fuel injector issues. But that’s seemed to have worked itself out

lol nice, yeah they’re fast compared to the average car but honestly not fast in the sports car segment, way too heavy lol

Nice!! Hope you’re enjoying it

Oh yes, I’d recommend it with any amount of tuning.

Dome lights should be DE3175 (31MM) OR T15 (912 921)

Nah, I was having issues with the boost due to an intake coupler issue

@@KonaNthusiast how many miles you have now?

​@@KonaNthusiastcan't wait till you go back! Are you going to dyno?

@@klasseact6663 I wish, I’ll probably do that once I’m ECU tuned

@KonaNthusiast looking forward to that video too🏁🏁

That’s true lol but also I rode in Danny’s VN 😈😎

@@KonaNthusiast mines faster lol

@@perfblue_n lol oh I know. I’ll have to get a video of yours for the channel next time we meet

Yes it’s honestly better, by the time you press the paddle once it’s red, it should shift in time. But I honestly just leave the car in automatic if I’m trying to get the fastest acceleration, the transmission in these cars are really smart

That’s a good idea. I really hope it gets the 2.5t
