xxCould major modifications effect ESC function?

January 25, 2012, 08:32:53 PM by Dazzler | Views: 169 | Comments: 19

Bright Idea
One of our Members (who shall remain Anonymous unless he decides otherwise) has it on good authority that major mods like Different wheels, suspension mods and chipping/tuning boxes could reduce/effect the performance of ESC (electronic stability control) equipped vehicles.

Further more, this could be taken into account by road authorities doing annual and other roadworthy inspections and also even effect insurance claims..

I will start the discussion by giving some of my opinions (fo...

xxRattle is driving me crazy!

January 11, 2012, 02:11:29 PM by bradpete | Views: 220 | Comments: 11

Problems & Issues
I have a petrol I30 (60 reg) that is driving me crazy. I purchased from new and am nearing the 8000 mile mark.
From new there was no problem but at around the 2000 mile mark I noticed a rattle that was intermittent but appeared to be coming from the dashboard area. I thought it sounded like it was coming from the CD player area. I reported this to the garage and they said the rattle could have been coming from a loose cable in that area, which they had fixed.
However, the rattle has been getting p...

thumbupReducing road noise 101

January 01, 2012, 07:00:39 PM by Mike | Views: 560 | Comments: 31

Hint & Tips
I live in Northamptonshire where we have lots of pot holes and noisy road surfaces.  After reading about other people complaining about Road Noise, and their experiments with different brands of tires they mostly came to the conclusion that yes the Hankook Tires are noisy but the car probably lacks some sound proofing.  I have also been reading about noise reduction on car audiophile websites.  I used to wonder if some of the noise was down to a poor seal around the hatch but its not.  My car is a lot quiet...

xxLurching with handbrake.

December 23, 2011, 11:11:18 AM by constipated | Views: 277 | Comments: 21

Problems & Issues
My i30 manual since new has had a lurch whenever the handbrake is applied on a slope.

I've been used to this sometimes in automatic cars with loose handbrakes which rely a bit more on the P setting of the transmission to hold the car.

My handbrake does not seem loose as it will hold the car on a hill without any issue, it just seems like there is a delay in it biting causing the car to always lurch backwards or forwards on a slope, though not by much. This is disconcerting because I've...

xxGreat colour combo for CW

December 19, 2011, 09:31:10 PM by Dazzler | Views: 260 | Comments: 14

Bright Idea
I'm not that keen on red cars as I have had issues with red cars fading in our harsh Aussie Sun (even in Tasmania)

However, I saw a RED late model (silver roof bars) CW in Burnie (Tasmania) the other day with black alloys similar to these on it



It looked awesome.. I was dying to take a photo but a bit hard when you are driving  :'(

xxiPod cable...dud?

December 01, 2011, 02:17:28 AM by Pikapolonica | Views: 321 | Comments: 17

General Chat
OK so I purchased a cable off eBay and wouldn't allow me to pick RDM or RPT on the head unit and I couldn't control anything from my iPod.

BUT it works, so not a complete dud.  When I listen to a CD or music on the USB key, as soon as I hit RDM, it automatically jumps to the next song, whereas with the iPod, it goes to the next selection after the current song.

Lucky I didn't go to Huyndai and fork over $$$ for a proper cable.

My brother tested it with his iPhone and had no ...
