Not sure where mine sits at 120kph, somewhere around the 3 mark I think.Sweet spot for torque might be between 3800 - 4200 but that's not the economical sweet spot, around 2500 is where I like to sit on.
I drove about 110km into a fierce 70kph headwind. The poor i30 struggled to keep 120kph, and when I got there my OBC pegged my consumption at 12L/100km. On the way back with a nice tailwind I managed 6L/100km, so the two trips evened each other out

On the way back with a nice tailwind I managed 6L/100km, so the two trips evened each other out At 120kmh + 70 kmh headwind, you had a 190 kmh velocity of wind hitting the frontal areas of your car and the subsequent drag over the body. Not surprised you were consuming 12l/100. Anything over 80kmh in total and the wind starts to severely affect performance and economy.
I thought my tyres had done 15,000 kms?
Pod filters are illegal because of noise pollution, the cop thha . Pulled you over and let you go because it was filtered had no idea.The extra's in the intake are for reduction in induction noise.Looks awesome. Another thing you guys can have a crack at for the same effect less the bling can be a k&n panel filter, fits in standard box, gives a similar response increase and better fuel economy but no induction noise.And for the diesel guys. I've just thrown a pod filter on the end of my AFM for shits and giggles for the spooling noise. Soon to add an alloy pipe for dose 😅😅.
Oiled filters you have to be careful with, with a car with an AFM make sure you don't go overboard with the oil as it can oil up the sensors.
