Replaced a few things on the 1 series. Suspension (M3 control arms, M3 sway bar, shocks, and bump stops), front turbo oil return line (sucked), and rear diffuser. 20 psi in a small car is fun.

I bet that thing moves. How do you like the M3 part swap. Looks like it’s sitting nicely on those big wheels.

I’m very happy now the it’s been aligned. It was one of those instances where upgrading the suspension was the same price as replacing with stock parts. The stock bushings had worn out so went ahead with something that added a little camber.
With the thicker sway bar, solid bushings, and new shocks it feels a bit firmer up front. Feels more supportive and planted when turning. I’ve never taken it to the track but may have to soon.

Well, I finally got into something other than the WRX... big enough to fit the family, and still quick enough to make the wife complain (at least from 0-30mph)
Is it exciting? Hell no, I nearly fell asleep the first time I drove it. Not hyperbole... that actually happened.
Is it fuel efficient, comfortable, and packed full of quality of life features? You bet... I really dig the interior on the new Hyundai's.
The warranty on these cars is insanely good. The powertrain warranty is 150k miles (100k MFR + 50k from the dealer). And, hilariously, it seems their AWD has surpassed the "trail rated" Jeep Compass.
...and I still have the WRX. For a little while at least.Paintball Selection and Storage - How to make your niche paintball part idea.

My dad bought one of those a couple years ago and I was blown away how nice it was for the price. Fully loaded with all the tech and toys and they drive great.

That looks sweet!
My wife has been hounding me for something with 3rd row so she can move other people’s kids around. So we been shopping around the Hyundai have come a long way.
