i30 N Felix' Snow White - N400 (342kW/581Nm)

Left side looks like stick out around the buttons and I was afraid of that. Same on right side around starter and airbag button. I ordered a lot of better 3M VHB tapes - thickness 0,6mm, 1,1mm and 1,6mm all 3 meters.
Will try to add more tape or change it for one of mine.

Did you installed exactly this or the "thicker" previous one? Could you take pictures of it? I can hardly imagine that the connections look good if there is no covering over them.

I installed exactly the one from the link.
It looks very good to me:

However, you have to be careful when you cut out the cover. You must not cut directly at the edge, but slightly inwards. Then it will look neat.

Awesome bit of kit buddy! did the lite box require coding to the car? Or did it work straight off the bat? I have a Deadweight Industries Tonge500 ready to go in mine

no coding required. Hyundai states to leave the car locked for at least 4h. After that the ECU will run a cycle for adapting the battery. On my liteblox it took a few weeks before the charging would work as I intended. But now everything is super smooth.

Nope - just plug 'n' play and worked perfectly fine since then.
I installed the battery, left the car for an hour and drove off to a N-Thusiast's meet. No CEL or other issues. I double checked everything with the app but there was no issue to be found.
Have fun with your new lightweight battery too!

Where abouts donyou have the n thusiasts meet?
I maybe able attend them.
 
First track day in 2022 booked for 26.03. on one of my favourite tracks - Bilster Berg.
In preparation for this, I decided to upgrade the chassis. Since a few days I am now the happy owner of a KW v3 coilover suspension, but in the Hyundai configuration (incl. Hyundai part number and factory warranty).
Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the installation and currently I still have winter wheels fitted. As soon as the new summer wheels are mounted, the final lowering will be adjusted.

Hey mate, do you know where you saw this information? I've been looking online but haven't been able to find anything about using LiFePO4 batteries in i30ns!

Haven't found it online. Was looking at what the dealer service manual states when changing (generic) batteries. Also asked Liteblox directly, they all told me the same. The internal battery management system needs a bit of time to understand how to work with a LiFePO4 battery, but eventually it will and everything will work. In particular it has to understand when to charge the battery via the alternator, usually it does that by looking at the voltage and when it drops below a certain threshold it then lets the alternator charge it. With LiFePO4 batteries this does not work, since the voltage doesn't drop when the battery discharges. This is what the battery management system of our cars has to learn.

With my car it took roughly about a week before the car was charging the battery the right way. Until then I could use my car normally, I just needed to have a look at the battery charging percentage. In that timeframe the battery was dropping to 1% charge before the car would charge it back up to ~20% before it would stop again. You could force it to charge more when getting off the accelerator and by "sailing" a bit. So I just had to take care to not leave the car with 1% charge left in the battery ;)

But after said week it now works flawlessly, battery is nearly always at 100% and charging.

This is really interesting to know! I had concerns that mine wasn’t charging correctly. But if it has a learning period before it can fully charge, that explains it

do you have an easy way to check the cars voltage (maybe using one of those cheap voltage-displays for the cigarette lighter)? Those can tell you when it's charging correctly and when not. Can help in determining if the charging procedure works as it should

Yeah, I have an ohm meter. Battery reads 13.1v with the car off and 14.3v when the car is on. I have no idea about electronics so I’m not sure exactly what I’m looking at

I meant something that you can read during driving ;)

When the alternator is charging, the voltage should be higher than during no charge.

Example: When my LiteBlox battery gets charged it reads about 14v, when it won't charge I'm somewhere around 12-13v. So if you have an easy way to see the voltage during driving, you can see if the car's battery management system is learning or not.
