I may already have bumped into some of you on Myface a few days ago, but I've been lurking around these parts as well for a few weeks before getting my i30 last Thursday.

Long story short (as some of you already may know), I recently upgraded rather massively from a '98 Lancer to a '18 i30 Go (platinum silver, 2.0L manual, ex-demo with 1k on the clock) and I'm absolutely in love with this car and how it drives and feels, not to mention all the gadgets I've never had before.
So much so that in roughly 48 hours of picking it up I've already put a good 800km's extra on it this weekend so far :whistler:

Anyway, I've been reading through a lot of information on here (very helpful too!) and I've already made a list (which keeps getting longer) of little improvements I'd like to make (LED lighting for one).

I look forward to haunting these parts for many years to come, and to seeing and reading others trials and tribulations with their i30's, you all seem like a real helpful bunch :goodjob2:

Cheers, Mik

Ps: yes, I really need to gravel or concrete under the carport sometime soon :-[

:wttc: Mik


Looks great in silver :goodjob2:
I love it as well, can't say I've seen too many of them around but I must say, I didn't really have much of a choice in colour seeing how hard it was to find a used manual that wasn't an SR ($$$) or too old or a diesel (I have nothing against diesels, I just didn't want one :P).
This was the only manual I actually hopped into and I signed the contract immediately after the test drive. I call it a unicorn because in this town it seems to be as rare as one :lol:

And thank you all for the warm welcome :winker:
