FULL BUILD - REBUILDING A CRASH DAMAGED HYUNDAI I30N

[@largoatracing]

I think it's mental that driving home from my Sister-in-law's house one day I see a smashed up i30N sat on someone's drive way and I thought nothing more of it. Turns out it was yours and I've been watching the progress of the build without realizing it's going on just down the road from me. Great work on the build, absolutely love it.

[@lawrencemanning]

Did you go round and say hello? 😂

[@largoatracing]

@@lawrencemanning hah, I ain't THAT guy

[@MsTekane]

Hi! Im actually working for Hyundai for 5 years now... (In Czech, Nošovice) Where i30n is made and i have to say its look beautiful with the wide body! :)

[@christhompson1708]

Really nice to see people working on normal cars the hyper cars are good but this is real !

[@TheFrancoprincipe]

Mate... I have never enjoyed watching a project as much as i have done so with this! You have done such a great job with the video. However you have done an even better job with the car itself!! That looks totally radical. I love the livery and what you've done to the motor. Just wow!! To be honest i was salivating here wanting to do the same thing with my N (which is a fastback though). Seriously - great job!!

[@jamesmccormack3229]

Loved the I30N had a loan of one for a bit and reminded me of a proper old hothatch a wee drivers car to throw around the British B-roads. Much better than its compition for the price.

[@Bobber_Dazzer]

Such a pleasure watching Chris do his thing. Seems such a nice bloke. I wouldn’t have let Mark drive my car. Not after all that hard work. Hs treated it with no respect at all.

[@jennyetherington3326]

Binged watched the whole thing , so glad you cleaned the scuttle out. Would have done my OCD in watching you put it back together lol. Great Video ✅ as for Mark driving it 🫣 lol

[@Bobber_Dazzer]

Does make me laugh when these guys go on about how expensive the car parts are. Cars are stupidly priced at the moment. If parts were that cheap we would all be building them out of the parts bin 😂 Saying that another great video from Chris. So professional and precise. Great guy and great content. Always look forward to his videos and hope this KZbin stuff works out for him. With all the hard work that goes into producing these videos he deserves the success and rewards that seems to be the current trend. Hope he doesn’t burn out 👍

[@davidinder5081]

Don’t watch mat Armstrong prices are eye watering 😂

[@scielitex]

Much love from Africa, Kenya Chris.....amazing build there.

[@TheMadmostin]

My fave build that you’ve done. The motorsport crossover really suits the car and its stance. Well done and something different to see.

[@joshchatwin8569]

I love the stock sound I'd give it a strong 8.5 for stock

[@jamesr8897]

Numbers on the bolts relates to the property class of the material of the bolts. 10= high. Others you might see are 4.8 and 8.8

[@peteygti1979]

[@garycrofts1421]

Probably not correct, Asian manufacturers, especially Japanese motorcycle makers (my field of interest) use standard torque settings, using a chart with bolt size, M6, M8 M10 etc is cross reference against the number on the head to give a torque figure, so for instance all M8 bolts with say, a 7 on the head will be same torque.

[@jamesr8897]

@@garycrofts1421 I work for a Japanese fastener supplier

[@Patrick-bh2iu]

​@@garycrofts1421I think he is correct. What you meant to say was there is more to the number than what he mentioned

[@garycrofts1421]

@@Patrick-bh2iu the numbers I refer to, and have seen frequently are large numbers, often a 4 or 7 and in the middle of the bolt head with no other markings. I know of 5.8 (grade 2), 8.8 (grade 5) and 10.9 (grade 8) or even radial lines to indicate hardness which he refers to in his comment above.

[@tim91279]

😂 that bloody bridge when you took the car for a run it haunts me! I reversed my car into it last time I was up there it was raining hard and couldn’t see it 😂

[@kevs4898]

Absolutely smashed it chris mate. I love the body kit and the decals made the car

[@FattusCat]

I wanted one of these. I took the DCT for a spin and it was a monster. Still would have one

[@_Murky_]

took me 3 days but I watched from start to finish, cheers mate

[@Mechanicalrob]

As a i30 owner. I can assure you parts prices from the dealership are a joke! 😂 I recently got quoted £140 for a bit of bumper trim which I subsequently bought on eBay for £37!

[@paulbainbridge6425]

Sat and watched the whole video, couldn’t believe you’d let someone else do that to your car after all that work !!

[@phildini4929]

Sale Agreed sign on your next door neighbours house made me chuckle 😅 they’ve had enough of your car noises 😂 😂

[@Chris_Slix]

😂 youd think so but they were car nuts too! Ex drag racers, and the new neighbours race too! Whats the chances. I feel blessed with them.

[@danielbell1691]

Chris. I’ve just passed yours at to see it in real life is crazy. Definitely the perfect rebuild mate. Ps Location will stay with me mate

what an awesome episode. really like how the car turns out

Loving the longer videos mate keep up the good work

[@IrfanKhan-gj6bz]

I’m loving everything i30n atm

[@kinokinch942]

The kit and painting is amazing I just think that the decals are a bit to much but everyone to their own, fantastic job, fair play credit were it's due 👏

[@camstewart4567]

Great video and a great looking car now well done looks mint.

[@kingkorey6526]

I never watch long videos but this one I did. Well done mate looks good 👍🏽

[@Chris_Slix]

Thank you, i really appreciate that!

[@CaliforniaKonaN]

Just subbed! Awesome to see the transformation and the amount of work put into this i30N (wish we got them in the states!)

[@Official__RILO]

Why😂

[@jamesmccormack3229]

The end result is awesome mate! 👌

[@MrDylanm842]

I'd be fuming if I paid 5k for a body kit and I had to sand bits off and fix bumps and holes in it

illd give matt a run round that track tho be like a greek rally👐😍

Pulled it out the bag Chris looks lovely ❤

Super clean OEM build is a great idea! 👍

[@deanbateman128]

How did Matt Armstrong feel about you moving into this line of work? Great quality video

[@Hermes-Quadmegistus]

Good job Chris!...... Opinions are like arse holes, we've all got one. It's all about what the individual petrol head likes that matters. Not my taste but I still like it. Thanks for sharing the experience.

Love most of those graphics but the drivers door N looks odd. The widebody kit really suits the car and makes it look much more aggressive

[@cliveroulstone9366]

Master piece 👍

[@TheGaryprice]

That was a brilliant video that👌🏻

[@Area32Audio]

You could do with Car Verticle!!! That would tell you the full history of the car , there's a guy called Mat Armstrong who you can get a discount code from , Not sure if you've heard of him😂😂😂

[@SENdadracing]

Please take this on mats next monaco trip

[@jacobmupisiri2423]

30:24 🤣 why did i piss myself so much

[@ohbollox2it]

I owned an i30n performance and the pops and bangs are normal when the exhaust valve is opened

[@philmcdougall6665]

Those wheels... chefs kiss

[@AronStalka]

N stands for "Nurburgring". They made the i20N and i30N for what i can tell on the Nurburgring to make these cars as best as they can make them around the Track and on the Streets. p.s. sorry for the late comment... got this video on my frontpage just now.

[@ethanstaunton6713]

10 on the bolts i belive is the tread type m10=10 not to sure but from working on cars its what i gatherd

[@m4rsianer]

the i30N was developed under supervision from Albert Biermann. He was working for BMW for 31 Years and changed to Hyundai. Basicly its a German invention like all Turbo Hatchbacks nowadays.

[@flyinryanfpv]

You never drove a Hyundai Gen Coupe then! I've owned 3 and loved all of them, just hard to keep them from being crashed into in Houston TX lol 🤦🏻 My current is the 3.8 Track and I feel that's the best one aside from the Manual R-Spec

[@garywilson331]

Number is the hardness of the bolt

[@eixeon395]

Shouldve done the solid bushings for your shifter assembly. So worth it

[@decibelav1037]

numbers on bolt are Tensile strength 8.8 10.8 12.8 higher the number stronger the bolt 💪

[@nad199]

Just wanted to say what a program what a car build but I would have preferred better alloys but overall brilliant.

[@Kyzzm]

Such fitment💪

[@ButteredToast_93]

Yes the numbers on bolts refer to "class" and most certainly have to do with material strength

[@magellan35]

Did you do anything to adjust the scrub radius of the front wheels after kicking the offset out? If not I imagine it doesn't track terribly well. There are probably aftermarket control arms to get the steering axes aligned with the centre of the front contact patches. Other than that, nice build!

[@rubenruiz7940]

Where did you find the headlamp assembly for the I30? Hyundai or aftermarket?

[@digicreator1]

grade of the bolt i think thats why numbers are there

The "dai" in Hyundai is pronounced the same as the "dai" in Dainite (soles). And the Hyun is one syllable like "One", eg One-day, Hyun-dai

[@johnriley9214]

Why did you not have the rear boompa painted before you assembled it?

[@billymasoner3735]

To answer the question as to who’d buy this over the BMW counterpart, reliability and cost of ownership are the biggest factors. BMWs are notoriously expensive to maintain and aren’t exactly reliable.
