For sure! They make this in manual but i opt for the DCT because... i have 2 of the greatest manual cars. So DCT in LA traffic is great.

[@RyanDeLaHaye]

I second this. Its awesome seeing folks get some regular cars for the day to day. It must also relieve a lot of the stress caused by driving one of the appreciating assets daily. All it takes is one careless driver and those collector cars are toast. Whereas a normal daily that is fairly easy to replace (and also cheap comparitively) must be so relaxing to run. Great content. Loved the whole thing. Keep it up!

@ top it off it’s your daily 🔥🔥🔥 clean 👌👌

[@stanceworks]

On a serious note, the Elantra Ns are amazing cars. Everyone raves over the CTR and this thing is a neck-and-neck competitor. The engineers over at Hyundai are hardcore car guys, and their products show it. Naysayers don't get it, but they don't have to. Car turned out sick, man. I want a daily now too. Don't tell anyone I said that though, it'd be bad for my credibility.

[@mckinnonwolf7877]

My only concern is Vin getting state reffed for the factory exhaust like that that one guy did, and whether or not Hyundai will actually honor their warranty or continue to pull Toyota GR stunts.

[@IceGTZ]

I ran into Vin at SEMA and he was really great he took the a few minutes out of his busy day to talk to a random fan about our cars, this build, and why its great to have cars you can actually take out and drive. I really appreciated it! This build looks awesome you guys will love it! Vin keep up the great work!

Bad ass choice. I have a 23 Kona N I bought new almost 2 years ago and I still really enjoy it. I lowered mine with only 1500 miles on it (it's basically just a lifted hatchback anyway from factory), and put a aFe midpipe on the car the day I brought it home. Currently its stage 2 tuned, almost FBO and it has never missed a beat and is a blast to drive. Can't wait to see more with the EN!

[@reedstemen]

DAMN

[@darbythompson7020]

I used to be a service advisor at a Hyundai / genesis dealer, they might fight you about the suspension at the dealer, and NEVER put a cold air intake on it that’ll for sure void your warranty lol. Make sure you keep your maintenance records 100% no slip ups. The 10 yr 100k mile warranty REQUIRES you to have all that. Like I seriously had to scan in 20 pages for an engine that blew a con rod through the side and bottom of the block lol. Granted their machining has gotten better significantly in the last 4 years. But seriously get a file cabinet dedicated to this car lmao.

[@weaseeel]

[@M240Waheed]

Damn all this trouble, why don’t people just get into a b58

[@nkelly226]

They can't void the warranty due to mods unless they can prove the aftermarket parts were the cause of the car's failure. Theres a Supreme Court case on this

[@4ws0m0]

Really depends on the dealership. I have a buddy with the Veloster N who got denied warranty work from two dealers b/c he's tuned, but the third one did the work no problem. So it really is luck of the draw.

[@nkelly226]

@ it's literally against the law unless they can prove the mods are the cause for the issue you're going in for via the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act

[@stoneymcguire8805]

I have a Kia Stinger and a Hyundai Santa Fe. Love em both. The stinger is an amazing car with fantastic warranty and first new car I’ve bought at 40 years old.

Hyundai Elantra N is sick car and the mods you did to it are chefs kiss perfect. Honestly, Hyundai has been going hard in the motorsport world for awhile now. I'm so down to see what Vin does with this gem.

[@TheStorkSR]

I feel like people like to completely ignore the past decade or so of improvement Hyundai has done and the success they've had in rally and other races. That and all those who got trolled by the Porsche shop intro, everyone is gonna have to buy a lot more merch to get that kind of build on the channel lol. That being said, at least half the people complaining wouldn't know this was a Hyundai if you did a badge delete. Looks crisp with those wheels and body kit bits.

[@skylerssupercarlife348]

Honestly, great choice. They have come hella far and are continuing to climb and get mad noticed. Love it.

[@robertt3715]

Looks sick! I was 42 before I bought a new car, and only because most of the people in the dealership I bought it from were in my car club, and I basically got employee pricing with a free 6-year maintenance plan. (plus I had been saving up for a while, and put about 50% down, and only had to finance about 17k) I went through so many oil changes and brake pads from track days, and didn't pay a dime. I also started modifying it the day I got it, and took it to its first track day two weeks after that!

[@marcjesse26]

While watching I totally forgot, that there will be reveal of a new car sometime. I didn't care as Vins content is just refreshing and really enjoyable to watch! Keep Going!

[@DeweyWRX]

The issue with the new BRZ'GR86 has more to do with oil starvation in higher G corners than silicone. The RTV issues are blown WAY out of proportion. Overfill the oil a bit when you are on track and it takes care of most of the oil starvation issues too. The aftermarket almost has this soved too. - Dewey the resident Subaru expert.

[@davidmyrick8416]

So the Elantra N that’s been in the background for like 6 months, and changing anything on a Hyundai is potentially voiding the warranty. They have this nice little quote scattered throughout the manual that states anything changed has to be the "same spec" all the way down to the tires speed rating and compounds.

[@mckinnonwolf7877]

They’re probably going to play fast and loose with a lot of that kind of thing since he is who he is, which is fine for me personally, but it does kinda suck because there are going to be people who’s minds are possibly changed about Hyundai due to this and then get screwed. There was the guy who got state reffed in Cali on a completely factory exhaust, and Hyundai was also reported to have pulled a Toyota GR stunt and refused to honor a warranty after an owner used their sports car as as sports car.

[@da-yh3uy]

This dudes shadow sponsored so this won’t apply to him

[@mckinnonwolf7877]

@@da-yh3uy exactly what I’m thinking

[@qers]

If you're not sure if they'll void the warranty for a mod, either don't do the mod, or revert it back to stock before you bring it to them.

[@Sonic_N1]

🧢 I have an N lowered on Eibach springs, wider wheels and tires, K&n intake filter. No issues getting suspension warranty work. I’ve had both front wheel hubs and axles replaced. Just depends on how you present yourself and build a bond with your service advisor. Maybe slide them a 20 or something after an oil service.

[@Harry_Gersack]

You're not fooling me broski, I knew it was was an Elantra from the beginning 🥸 I'm not a big Hyundai guy, but I love what they're doing with their N-division and how open they are when cooperating with the media.

Weird question cuz I’m new. I’m sure coil overs are focused on performance. But can you make them ride just as comfortable as stock suspension for city driving?

[@NeotechUSA]

Great question! Many coilovers, like ours at Neotech, offer adjustable dampening, so you can fine-tune the ride to suit your needs. You can dial them in for a smoother, more comfortable ride for city driving while still maintaining performance when you need it. So, it’s all about finding that sweet spot!
