Cooler IAT's and air intake pulse will be considerably better. It's similar to hyperventilating for us.
That looks amazing. Could i have your recommendation on where you did it and the cost?Aaaand it's alcantara time
Dropped my lady off to the local saddler to get some alcantara added to my interior.
It took some time to get the right color for the stitching, luckily a mate of mine had his N done at the same saddler, so the saddler had the ability to get the right color from his supplier.
Needless to say: It turned out amazing
I let him do the following things:
- Steering wheel in alcantara (thickened up aswell)
- Painted the Hyundai logo on the steering wheel
- Airbag cover on the steering wheel in alcantara
- Shift sack in alcantara
- Shift knob in alcantara
- Handbrake lever in alcantara
- Armrest in alcantara
- Dash trim part in alcantara
I can't even express how happy I am with the changes. The thickened up steering wheel now fits even better into my hands, and just touching the alcantara lets you believe you are sitting in a totally new vehicle. Especially the changes to the steering wheel and the shifting knob make a BIG difference, because you touch them all the time. After I've picked her up today, I just did not want to stop driving around

Sent you a PNThat looks amazing. Could i have your recommendation on where you did it and the cost?
I hope that I can feel a difference when it's a bit warmer outside, where cooler IATs would make a bigger difference - but I reckon the change will just be marginal.
Do you think removing the plastic Intake air shield introduces a noticeable negative effect? Right now I also don't feel a difference in that aspect
It doesn't on the VN and keep in mind, I live in out west in the US. a hot climate.
So, the only way you can absolutely tell is to data log. Then you can compare and see the overall IAT reduction etc.

Just cleaned my interior and noticed I have yet to post proper pics of the alcantara interior - so here you go

So, today I started to mount my ATH rear diffusor.
The exhaust tips will follow at the weekend after the glue has hardened.
If anyone wants to mount it, you need to have at least 2 people do the job, 3 are recommended.
Also, additional materials are needed that are not advertised on the website
Here are a few pics of the mounting process - tomorrow we'll hopefully be able to see it without the tape holding it together, let's pray that glue holds it in place

I tried, but I think they are not that parallel
Try some velcro next time!
thought about ducktape for the classy "fixed racecar" look, but I think the paint would've come off together with the tape
This photo with the tape makes me laugh, save some tape for the rest of usSo, today I started to mount my ATH rear diffusor.

Could we get a photo showing how far under the car it goes?
As soon as I remove the tape I can take a pic.
However its not really that far, if you look under yours, you can see where the plastic of the bumper ends and the rear muffler begins. The bodykit goes exactly to the edge of that plastic and not a single inch further. It also does not have any impact performance-wise, as its stated in the tuv documents I also received.
