One... who?

recently no dr. Jay, sien. I wanted to say something stupid and then shoot myself.

I think Elantra Sport too tame for you. See this, cheap ooi... go see the car.

Don't think is due to knocking. Saw the Korean who did remap, can go to 7200 rpm without issue.

I read http://www.elantrasport.com, the ECU dropped boost significantly after 4500rpm from the usual 10-13psi down to 9psi. More likely to protect the engine. Can't remember which post though.

Racechip impossible. Hyundai put a lot of security to prevent OBD tuning. Only way is remap as of now.

Awesome! Keep us posted.

BTW does ES ECU keep saperate mapping table for 3 drive modes or they share common one?

My rytham was very terrible at the hairpin. Tricked a few times at Batang Kali when they looks like mid speed corner at the entering but turn sharper closer to the apex.

At Genting hill climb, don't know which line should I take. The apex has very steep incline. Would winder line be faster and smoother?

I'm wasn't familiar with my grip, but good grief I underestimated my grip big time Lifted off slightly, it held the line just fine.

My old car has XM2, lol.

Only saw the promo for regular 2.0 Elantra. Nothing for the Sport.

A lot of new Myvi hype and myth though. Lol...

Rebate 4K for 2.0. It was end of Octocber though.

Recently saw year end sales at Penang, Bukit Mertajam dealer, but never ask details.

Beside the stone pits at front bumper after 200km/h highway, so far so good.

Our highway condition is terrible. Flying stones everywhere. Muddy trucks shouldn't be allowed on highway before a proper cleaning.

None of the above. It is due to camera refresh rate not sync with the LED light refresh rate much higher.

Not sure you have electeonics background. LED, light emitting diode is a diode which have a constant voltage drop regardless what voltage you apply. Typically 0.7V from general text book, but it really depends on doping of the junction.

Anyway ingore the theory, we can't control the LED brightness by contol the voltage which reduce the current like the resistive incandescent bulb. We need a modulation circuit which flash it on/off. This is what we usually called LED driver.

This applies for any LED. Car, household, traffic light, you name it.

I'm so sorry. If I knew you also expert, I won't write so long to describe pwm.

I think pwm is more power efficient generally vs resistive current limiter. Also there is a fixed forward bias threshold, limiter drop the voltage below threshold it simply turn off. So brightness will be for example 100% -> 40% -> off. Can't do <40%.

I'm not specialized in LED field and might not be updated with latest development. Don't think power and brightness granularity is something concern the car makers, so probably some other reasons.

BTW, any plan to bring in Genesis?

After driving the Elantra Sport, I have confident with the brand and engineering team. Would want more for my next car.

Not the old Hyundai Genesis. But the new Genesis as the brand. Genesis G70/G80/G90.

Lol... after get used to it, the power has become norm. Going to be headache when upgrade next car, the better options are generally over 200K.

are stone chips counted? Haha
touchwood so far so good, still completely stock though.

48k.

The DCT logic is very good. Never have gear hunting, at traffic jam crawling at 10-15km/h it will be in 2nd gear with clutch fully engaged.

Not sure about the life time, but foresee them not going to wear down fast due to they are fully engaged most of the time.

I don't just look at dry or wet in DCT. I look at the rated torque capacity, of course most high torque DCT supporting 400Nm+ are almost certainly wet.
Due to VW sad story, we now have many small sub 200Nm low torque rated DCT also made wet, I think that is just marketing gimmick.

This DCT is rated 340Nm, so still plenty of buffer vs the stock engine max torque, only that the mod potential is not high.
I saw someone modded to 400Nm, I don't know what they did or if that transmission going to last.

No idea, check FB ESOS group. There are few sifus pushing the limit of the drivetrain, they will know better.

All my cars use 97, occasionally Petron 100 if I pass the station. Motor EX5 also use 97, it is quite old and 95 cause quite a bit of knocking when full throttle and lazy to downshift (if you drive motor, you know a lot of old uncle did that) lol.

ES sounds a lot nicer with Ron100 during high rev, and quick lift off and reapply the throttle the engine react faster. But no noticeable difference on peak power. The other car make 420hp, rarely see more than 1/3 throttle, and its engine sounds ugly like a diesel lorry. So no fun no incentive to put Petron 100.

Still service at Hyundai, and use the default Shell Ultra Helix. It is still completely stock.

I know a few folks personally (old high school friends, but not my close gang) that put digital cluster high up in their wish list (when blow water), as if no full digital screen = poor spec.

I was the conversation killer and get all the hates.

I mah said get Audi or VW, they have the most features rich and put the most use of digital meter cluster. Then as usual the DSG and reliability excuses came up. Then I said then get a Mercedes, the digital meter cluster is most fancy looking, and got most fancy ambient lights as well. Then they attacked me personally Volvo/Hyundai guy arrogant and don't know cars conversation end.

To me most important is to display important information. Put full digital screen because of the trend and not utilize it to the full potential has no point. Some even laggy or layout not intuitive to use.

Anyway congrats on new car. Thinking on the bright side, I'm really glad Honda price the car higher and have the more elegant look.
That should push more ah beng ricer away to City/Myvi/Bezza. Less chance to see ricer fake wing, fake Type R mufflers on same car model park/stop beside you.

I don't know about you, I admires real wing with functional aerofoil shape, or a nice little spoiler that blend well with the car lines, but totally allergic to fake stuff especially on same car model as me.
I also enjoy functional bodykits that show driver own personality, but totally not ok with up-badge bodykit work like make a non Type R to looks like Type R or non AMG to looks like AMG. Haven't seen a regular Yaris put GR badge yet, we shall see.
