Last fall I drove the scenic route from Ohio to California in my 2021 Veloster N. One of, if not the most memorable road trip of my life. 10/10 will be doing it again and returning on US50 from Sacramento to Cincinnati
Had some hail roll through while I was stuck at work. Not a big deal, no broken windows, just some dents. Figured id use my insurance and get it fixed but they declared it a total loss. Its a 2020 veloster N manual and the repair estimate was about 10k. They said cash value was 17k and salvage value is 45% so no repair. I guess on the bright side I'm out of a car payment and still have a pretty sweet little golf ball to get around in. Plus Colorado doesn't do salvage titles for hail damage so I guess that's a good thing. Anyways, just thought I'd share.
Long story short, an employee at Discount Tire gouged the crap out of my steering wheel and they've already filed an insurance claim on my behalf. (I'm presuming the employee had something with a metal clip on the outside of his pocket and dragged it along the edge of the wheel while either getting in or getting out of my Veloster N 6MT.) Getting ahead of this, I'm quite certain I'm going to need a new steering wheel, and I plan to make sure they pay for it.
QUESTION: In the off-chance that an aftermarket or KDM option is either cheaper or more desirable as a replacement, does anyone have a recommendation for what to get or where to source one?
Definitely not a show car and has some miles on her (hence the price) but she’s quick fun and reliable. Price is not negotiable at this time. No trades.
This is the first time I have run it. I'm sure this has been covered, but she runs and sounds different. Normal? A noticeably different sound and feel, particularly 4,500+.
Cylinder 3 is fucked somehow. And either need new engine or if it’s even worth trying to take the head off and check if it’s only the valves that need to be replaced or something. But if I can find a manual Elantra N engine or something to swap over or whatever is the easiest. Cant say cheaper because it’s expensive here on out.
How the engine was blown was 2-stepping too much, so wasn’t over revving, just too much boost/heat and power pretty much. (Was showing about 10 psi for cylinder 3). The rest of the cylinders were fine.
I can answer any questions if needed more information. Thanks
I know theres far cheaper ways to do this but i thought it would be funny to share this. Was looking for a wiper delete cause my wiper blade is all faded and ugly, and holy hell what is this price i found for a wiper blade delete lmao
Hey everyone,
Planning to test drive a 2022 Veloster N to see if its something I may want to own.
I have a 991.2 with PDK - full bolt on (700whp) for larger tracks and a ND3 Miata RF for autocross, mountain runs, smaller tracks, and daily duty (light mods).
Would owning a Veloster N give an experience maybe the other two don’t give or be better at one area?
What initially drew me to the platform is FWD, better maintenance than a Mini, the DCT.
thanks
Anyone else with this problem? It's the second time I change the oxygen sensor
Im running a intake, BOV, inlet
I wanna get them, someone told me it will vibrate like crazy? How crazy are we talking?
hit the curb while leaving the driveway :(
Appreciate you man! They look and feel great. Def a needed mod for the 19/20 models
Hey guys, i apologize if this is a dumb question to ask but can anyone help me identify this piece near where the front bumper and skid plate meet? I cant tell if its the lower deflector(13) or lower filler(14). It got pulled off and torn a bit when a tow truck driver backed my car off the truck. Im leaning towards the deflector but am unsure and would appreciate any help if able!
This one is without the cheesy AI add-ons lmao.
My power steering stopped working suddenly. This has been a problem on and off for the last year. I took it in and they scanned the codes. They replaced the steering torque sensor. 3 weeks later, the problem is back. I submitted a report with the NHTSA and I'm going to call the dealership and corporate next.
Edit: I found a service bulletin from Hyundai addressing this exact thing.

I've given this bulletin number to the dealer. I purchased an extended electronics warranty when I bought the car which covered the last attempted repair.
Armed with this, and the parts numbers for the motor and the clear indication of a widespread problem, I bet I can get the dealer to fix this no problem.
Bluey got to go for a drive with a friend!
Its great driving with someone that appreciates cars as much as I do!
That AMG takes off like a bat out of hell, but we reeled it in at about 60km/h.
I got to drive the A35 after we did a rolling launch. That thing feels just as good as the VN! The owner of the Merc was terrified of the VN. The steering torque almost took him out 😆.
Who uses Sport mode and if so when and why? Having n mode, normal, and custom what situations does one ever need to use sport?
Hey folks! Has anyone tried to order wheels from alibaba and tried them on their VN? Sounds very sketch to buy wheels from alibaba but seeing forged wheels makes me wonder 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣
