Got a new 2016 Veloster Turbo manual to commute in to give my 04 S2K a break. I commute 40 miles a week. Are the turbo Hyundai cars reliable? It's got a killer warranty.

Because you're gonna need it.

Any proof this model is unreliable? 2013 had a connection rod issue. That's resolved.

Me mum's car ran hot today, and I managed to convince my dad not to add antifreeze to the radiator to fix it.
She's looking to get a new vehicle, but I'm hoping to snag her old one for free. This is the first issue it's had in 11 years of ownership.
Pic related.
In the meantime, is running hot indicative of any worse issues I might need to check for?
>I managed to convince my dad not to add antifreeze to the radiator to fix it.
Wtf?
>>15071501
You need a coolant flush. Your radiator inside will be rusted and have turned the coolant thick and brownish. This is very typical of 2000's kia's and hyundai's.

this will solve all your problems.

bad head gasket, bad thermostat, bad cooling fan, low coolant, etc...
Just dug mine out of the garage today from its 5 year beauty rest. Getting some tires soon, anyone have any experience with the BFGoodrich Radial T/A?
>>15071408
get either:
michaelin pilot a/s 3
good year eagle f1 aysemmtric all season
continental contact extreme dws
if you're poor, go for:
Continental pure contact
pirelli cintura p7 all season plus
michelin premier a/s
those are all the top rated sportscar tires on consumer reports.

>>15071408
Get Continental Extreme Contact DW if you need a summer tire.
>>15071484
NOT Extreme Contact DWS. That's an all season tire and shit for summer grip
>>15071484
>>15071521
I'm not finding any of those in 235/60/15. Just the Radial T/A, Cooper Cobra GT, and Pirelli P600.

There is a difference between spoilers and wings you nigger.
How do I drive a car?
By rev matching.
LOL
You don't. You guide a car. You're merely a means of getting it to any given place.
Is there any benefits of putting a catch can on a n/a engine?
>>15070924
I guess if you want to do a flame trap/PCV delete but it seems a little counter productive
>>15070924
Not that I can think of really, only oil related things I can think of are a cooler and pan with traps to stop starvation
I just notice a lot of oil gunk in my intake. I'm thinking it must hinder power/ fuel economy
If displacement is the same in two separate cars, how can one with domed Pistons make more compression?! My autistic mind can understand the physics.
Picrelated: physicswat.jpeg
>>15070846
The shape of the piston is not factored into displacement. Displacement is simply stroke x bore x cylinders.
Displacement doesn't equal compression you nog. My 2.5 inline six has twice as much compression as a v8. You should read more
Compression is entirely unrelated to displacement. Displacement is measured when the piston is at the bottom of the stroke, so it doesn't matter how tight everything gets at the top of the stroke. Also note that some of these pistons have a smaller bore, and thus will have a longer stroke in the cylinder for the same displacement.

hello /o/
i have a 6 speed manual and every time i go into 6th (and now 5th which just started recently) it grinds unless you granny shift
currently it is still able to go into those gears but the sound is very prominent
i heard online that it could be worn synchros and it's kinda making me anxious because that could be very expensive
i am coming up on 120k which is a multiple of 30k so i'm most likely due for a tranny fluid change but i'm not sure if it will change anything
yes i always press the clutch all the way in and yes...

Does /o/ prefer the sound of a forced induction car, or a naturally aspirated car?

If you remove your muffler to make it sound 'better', you're just a giant faggot screaming for attention.
An exhaust can sound beautiful with an actual pipe on it, even with the muffler.
