Hi Ric

Great photos! I'm from Sg too but migrated here 5 years ago. I have a Phantom Black too but an Active model (2-litre aspirated). Don't think they sell that model in SG. Got it from Komoco? Must have cost quite a bit compared to cars here. I noticed that the model does not have twin exhaust like the 1.6 turbo SR. But interior looks good without all that red highlights found in the SR model here.

Being a 1.4 Turbo I'm thinking it's probably ex Czech factory. Well spotted!

I'm liking ricleo's Advan T5 rims more than mine I think

[asathorny]

yea they only brought in the 1.4T. How i wish i can get the 1.6 SR model. but thankfully the 1.4T also comes with the multi link suspension.

Australia gets their stock from the Ulsan Factory in Korea. I think they might only make the 1.6 Turbo in Korea and the USA.

Black would have been my 1st choice..   But with the deal I got with my Phoenix Orange (Which was my 2nd pick colour)
I couldn't go past it...

Look really mega in black..    Congrats

Interesting! I haven't seen them over here, made by Bridgestone Japan are they?


You can see below why I thought they were Advan model T5, made by Yokohama and almost identical.

From my experience on here over 10 years there has been some minor differences in quality control between the two factories.

With the series 1 (FD) my gut feeling was the Czech built cars had slightly worse QC (minor things) than the Korean built cars.

By the time Series 2 (GD) came along I think it was the other way.. Paint finish etc.. better on the Czech cars.

Too early to tell on the Series 3 (PD) but I would expect the QC differences to be minor.

Hyundai models released in Australia do have some excellent suspension tweaks done by a local team.

Haha yes. Hence I just did paint protection coating to make it easier to maintain.
