Great find Lorian

Would be interesting to know what mods they have been able to make (chipping etc..) to make it competetive with more powerful cars..

I guess they unscrewed the aerial

Hopefully they will "screw" the opposition

I have a sneaking suspicion I saw this outside Neal Bates workshop in Hume, ACT, when I was driving my Bus back to the depot one night last week.

Should have stopped to ask questions.

Makes you kinda proud, seeing an i30 in action like that

2i30s · **Reply #8: May 15, 2010, 06:25:52**

i wonder if its been turned into a 4wd or its still a front wheel drive.

Bates in Canberra has been involved in preparation of this car.
Read about it here.

Makes you proud..

whitbomb07 · **Reply #12: May 17, 2010, 09:12:31**

I heard that it was a petrol auto, converted to a diesel manual.

Seeing as it's fully Hyundai sponsored I'd like to know why they couldn't spare a manual diesel straight up...........

Yeah, I heard that too and thought it was a bit weird...

EDIT: I just tried to find contact info for Mick Gillett (and his Navigator) would have been good to get them on board as at least temporary members.. no luck yet will keep trying

agentr31 · **Reply #23: June 17, 2010, 09:45:12**

damm... that car has too much interior left... should be WAYYY more stripped out

i really like the cage... some better interior shots, engine shots and more of around the car would be PHAT

Dazzler · **Reply #24: June 17, 2010, 11:07:07**
