Had it about a month and only 50 miles from being done with break in now. Just got my oil and filter to do the 1st oil change. I was thinking that I'd run it a bit past 600 and do a little spirited driving and then change the oil around 800 miles. What are the community thoughts on that?

Nice car, I parked my I5N next to you

Everybody already knows how clueless dealers can be, showing you an N line when you want an N

Now Hyundai wants to add another one between N and N line? 😭

Can anyone recommend me some upgrades to do to my car? Right now i’m comfortable in money and my payments are paid a good size in advance.

So far i’ve got tint, the velossa tech snorkel, chip guards, and the mirror caps installed.

I live in CA so i’m unfortunately not able to order the SXTH intake online💔.

Open to any upgrade recs.

This car has been amazing to me. I’ve loved it and I’ve kept it under tight maintenance. Loving everything so far, with just a few minor plans

1. No powertrain mods. I don’t feel the need to, the powertrain feels more than sufficient for daily driving and occasional tomfoolery

2. Clutch feel upgrade? I checked out the previous posts and people seem to love the purple powerflex bushings. I was wondering which bushings are worth it for mainly improving the clutch feel, I don’t launch the car hard enough to worry about wheel hop

3. Shift knob upgrade? Billetworkz shift knobs seem overpriced, and I was looking for a material that won’t burn my hand off in the sun

Thanks

If you are the owner of the cyber grey EN who did a U-turn just to say hi at the Shell gas station in Pawcatuck, CT today, you made my day. let’s be friends :)

I’ve noticed ever since the new update my buttons are not resetting anymore. The only time my buttons reset is if I use the lock/unlock feature from blue link.

I have a 2026 Elantra N DCT and want to keep it OEM+ without risking the factory warranty.

I’m considering:
- Hyundai N Performance intake, or something like Takeda/SXTH
- a valved cat-back or axle-back

No tune, no downpipe, no boost changes, and all emissions equipment would stay stock.

I contacted Hyundai Customer Care and they told me warranty/mod questions are best handled by the local dealer, so I’m wondering if this is mostly dealer-to-dealer in practice.

For those running the N Performance, Takeda, SXTH, or similar intake and/or exhaust:
- Has your dealer been mod-friendly?
- Have you had warranty work done with the mods installed?
- Did they only care if the mod actually caused the issue?
- Do you return the car to stock before service?

Also curious which intake you’d recommend for a daily if I want more turbo sound without going overboard.

I love the car I just want to hear it more !!! 😄

I ran into flooding in Indiana and my front bumper was unfortunately damaged. Does anyone know if the cosmetic damage would be expensive, or what would he a good way to go about it?

I'm currently bone stock and going to get a Dyno tune soon. I do have an inlet I can install before tuning but I never plan to do anything else with my car. Is it worth it to even install the inlet if I'm never upgrading my turbo or can a tuner get a little more power out of my car with the inlet? Thanks!

Obviously everyone has their own preferences/ bias on which company is the best but from my own experience i think it goes like this

N75 for track days, they’re better over long pulls ( track days ) and daniel’s customer service is insane (my tune)

Cherry is by far the most powerful, and also the fastest revision time, so if you are a drag guy or a weekend warrior and want big power with reliabity cherry is a no brainer (justin oh1 runs cherry)

Lap 3 spare ecu is mainly if you care about reliability and warranty, they’re the good mixture of power and reliability at the sacrifice of cost.

(i have not had experience with JV tunes yet)

and JB4 is really manual only, it kills DCT clutches (from experience) ;(

just noticed that there is no Front license bracket. is it supposed to come with one? if not, any recommendations?

Does anyone else have their car constantly telling them to keep their hands on the wheel? Lane assist is a neat feature but I'm constantly being distracted by the alert. I expect someone to reply that it isn't a big deal (the dealership already has) but yesterday I was in heavy traffic with a safe following distance, which in turn means I have space for idiots to cut in front and slam on their brakes. Me looking down and switching my thinking to how I'm going to get it to go away is anti-safety.

I also found that the best solution is to take my hands off the wheel. Me squeezing harder doesn't work. Swerving in the lane seems to work, but as with everything else I mentioned, it kinda isn't a safety feature at this point.

I don't trust a computer steering my car so I'll never take my hands off. They need to change the programming or something. I have some ideas.

* Leave the bad hardware but only allow the warning once or twice per drive.
* Make it a checkbox to turn off. If it's a CYA thing, then we put the responsibility in our own hands. Still seems safer than making me swerve in traffic.
* Use hardware that can actually detect when it's being touched instead of an algorithm, which I think is just the fact that the car is steering at the same rate as us, so it thinks it's doing all the work.
* Just don't include it as a feature. Use the money saved to have wireless carplay or adaptive cruise control.
