Hi all, never thought i'd end up on a forum like this but here i am. My name is jonno and i just bought i30 crdi 08 manual for the missus. I've always loved my jap 4cyl turbo's (120y a12 turbo, subaru L-Series  EA82T turbo touring wagon, Ae92 Supercharged and nitrous 4AGZE FWD 13.4@101mph) and my last car a Nissan Patrol 6inch lifted 35in wheels but the lack of fuel economy was just getting to much (20L/100km down from 30L after changing diff gears) and insurance was becoming a hassle. So Patrol got sold and after looking for a smaller sized car, turbo diesel , cheap and reliable i ended up with i30 crdi.

I already have some plans on changing a few things around but the missus won't let me yet. I'll keep you guys posted!


Cheers

jonno

  • Sorry, but my karma just ran over your dogma.
Welcome aboard 1tyger. Like all the other forum members, I'm sure you will be happy with your choice of the i30. One thing you'll notice very quickly is less visits to the servo.
