Hi Everyone,

 I got my i30 2009 FD SR 2.0L Petrol (manual) Blue, about a month ago now, absolutely the right decision for the money. I've added a highflow muffler and about to add the throttle body spacer from sharkracing. I'd love to add more mods to the car and make it more aggressive, I totally enjoy the i30 from looks to drive, just want that bit more (probably always will). I'd also like to say a BIG HELLO to everyone, I'm in S.A and always looking to catch up, learn about mods, share exp. pretty much any excuse to take the i30 for a drive!

@wh0-z3

Concerning the mods you were talking about wanting to do, good gains can be had by adding extractors :link: 07-10 i30 2.0 4-2-1 Header - Shark Racing

Yeah CraigB they're on my wishlist for now. Tried to get a local to fab some for me back when I had good cash flow but, he wasn't interested  :'( at the time.
I'm running NGK Iridium plugs atm; made a bit of difference to throttle, in saying that the old plugs were pretty stuffed and OEM NGK.

More for talk in mod thread. cheers everyone.

Getting someone to fabricate from scratch just isn't profitably viable if only making one pair due to the time factor, I have a friend who fabricates a lot of engine bits for speedway vehicles and he wasn't willing to do mine either unfortunately.
