Post by: syecadelic on April 24, 2012, 12:09:35: Lovely colour, looks sweet, though to be honest I'd remove the V8 badge... trying to hard and will leave you red in the face when a V8 wipes the stretch with ya :P

Im going to suggest it allows the passenger to lock/unlock all the doors in the car. Some Hyundai's have that feature I think.

Very nice looking i30 you got there, I just love that vivid blue.. :goodjob2:
Title: Re: Lightly Modified Elantra Touring
Post by: Michael T on April 24, 2012, 20:52:28: Thanks for the compliments everyone. I enjoy the car a lot.

The V8 badge is off my buddies Tundra and is on there as a joke. I'm not trying to kid myself or anyone else.

And yes the button is to lock the doors.

The springs eliminated a lot of body roll while maintaining a comfortable ride. You definitely feel bumps more now, but the positives out weigh the negatives. I really need some camber bolts for the front to get some negative camber upfront.
