G'day all, iBainesy here. Just bought a brand new i30 the other day, (still waiting for delivery, hopefully this Wednesday). Was kind of a bitter sweet purchase, my Lancer was rear-ended and was declared a write-off, so I had to get another car, and was not going to get anything that was the same quality as what the Lancer was in for $6k, so decided to get a brand new car. this of course had to happen as I'm about to start building a  house doesn't it... Oh well, new car should be good for a while, hopefully longer than the Lancer. was probably a few weeks away from it's 10 year anniversary.
Will post pics when I get it.
I look forward to driving it, being a part of this community of i30 appreciators, and to looking at how I can make my driving experience in the i30 a much better one.
On the subject of looking at better driving experiences, where sub thread would be best to see peoples mods of their cars?
Thanks.

Welcome IBainsey,

Sorry to hear about your Lancer, but glad you chose an i30 to replace it and joined our friendly little club.

There is a section on modifying your i30 split into different sections and of course there are also galleries to browse.  :victory:

Thanks, The crash wasn't even that bad (or maybe it was, I dunno, i'm not a car repairer, all I know is I don't need the expense right now (but it should be fine))
Here's a pic.

Another is it really worth it? , by insurance co.
It all adds up , metallic paint-"may need to do whole car" ,  $175 p/h by panel replacers for the apprentice to do the strip, plus the "unknown $$$$ till we get stuck in" allowance.
Economic write off .
Anyway,  it needed a wash   :lol:
