I've wanted one of these since they first came out but I've never been able to quite afford one with few enough miles on the clock for my liking, their residual values are crazy! Funnily enough I've seen 2 out on the road in the last 2 days. Lovely motors 👌
You’re right Chris. Over all the usual BMW and VAG rebuilds. Really looking forward to seeing how this Hyundai works out for you. Should be an interesting build. 😊
I used to sell these at the dealership and I always loved driving these! They are quite rare, but if one pops up at a good price I will buy it to use 😃
Great video and Great Content Chris! I think you should do a facelift front end and current i30n bucket seats. You can also customise the engine sound, suspension stiffness and so on through the N mode
New subscriber from this car bro. I garuntee this will be the most fun you've had in a car. I absolutely loved mine. Sadly had to sell when I lost a job. I will have one again 😊
When it was launched in 2017 the I30N beat the golf GTI and Cupra in every way. To get the same included standard equipment the Hyundai came with you had to spend over £6000 more on the Golf GTI. The Hyundai could catch a Golf Club Sport on a track and stay behind it it just lacked a bit more power to pass the Club Sport. Wheel tramp and weight were possibly its only weaknesses but it did have a 5 year warranty which included track use. I loved my 2017 I30N I bought 6 months old especially when it sounded so much better than all the other hatch backs. My Audi S3 auto was quick but nowhere near as much fun to drive.
No way, so glad you’ve got an i30n, more enjoyable to look at than the bland golf rs gtis n m140is/135is. The new i20n is stunning as well, theyve changed the game. Fun fact the designer that was in M sport for bmw moved over to hyundai and created these masterpieces
I bought one new and tracked it 3 days/600 miles later at Anglesey. Did 6 track days before selling it for a GR Yaris. Was a good car but you can feel the weight in it, plus syncro on 5th to 6th can be dodgy. Oh and it did 8mpg on track.
I was so excited to see this notification. My mrs just bought a brand new facelift i30 N and it’s still in its breaking In miles but it’s can’t wait to see your content on this car. It’s an amazing machine. Nice one Chris. Solid buy so much car for the money, loads more kit than the competition. 👍🏾
I wouldn’t have known it was in a crash if it wasn’t for car vertical ha ha love it made me laugh good video mate love these cars the sound they make are so good
Yeah agree with the other comment, they aren't very tunable. Costs a decent amount to get it to 320bhp. Whereas the Honda Type R (FK2 or FK8) can get near 400bhp for the same price.
The apple car play and android auto is to be used with a date cable near the wireless charge pad. I have one myself great car! Great engine to modify! One thing to check is the gearbox synchros. Not alot of people realise how good they are and what more would you expect when it was developed by the same guy who ran the Mperformance division
Great cars these,very underrated and a good price for crash damaged. Only bad thing is that rear quarter as it does look probably worse than it is but a good bodyshop should sort it out if the rear doors open&close alright
I30n performance are 271 bhp but usually dont get that on the rollers. IF you need help with genuine parts reach out I can help get them and direct you to them
Great video Chris, been waiting ages for you to show us the car. I came past yours the other day in a Leon k1 white. Nice to see a local making his dreams happen. Keep up the great work
Hyundai did a fab job for their first ever hot hatch; poaching Albert Berman from BMW’s M division was a bit of a masterstroke on their behalf. I really like these; for a four cylinder they make a very naught noise.
These came to my attention last year when at Donington Park race circuit to watch World Superbikes, sounded awesome and looked to handle very well, albeit in the hands of a racing driver.
Good lad, these cars are defo moving up in the world. I do alot of work with these and kia and once you get it up and running you will be surprised. The apple car play will work but you have to plug the phone is aswell. Good luck with this build mate.
About the seating position I highly doubt its from the original owner as this car is likely been to an insurance body shop to get assessed and then written off as the damage through insurance would have been about 17-20k to get fixed. The insurance companies only work up to 70-80% of cars value on HPI. Did you buy this car from Co part ? You should have the key if it has been through insurance , its quite normal to see the car few months down the line in salvage auction not straight away as often owners are not happy with the payout and the going back and forth with the insurance company takes a few months sometimes and the car just sits at the bodyshop. So someone at the bodyshop or salvage auction has lost the key. This car is from the same town where I live, but I don't recall seeing it around. Looks like the previous owner bought it back in May 2022 so didnt have it long before he crashed in it October 22.
I think that the issue with apple carplay is that its a plug in apple carplay rather then wireless, Try plugging your phone in next time and check if it works.

Really interested to see where this goes, Chris
For the Apple car play system to work you have to plug a USB cable into your car and phone
Im so excited for this build, man. love these cars. hopefully, you do it justice, and you should give it the facelift upgrade
As a owner, I can’t compliment the car enough. A car with so much character and always brings that smile to your face. Amazing motor
Agree mate they are ace
I had one, enjoyed the drive but they have nice seats and nice steering wheel rest of the interior is soo cheap, much prefer a gti as an all rounder
@@charliemcmurray1732 lol interior of a vw isn't much better
@@charliemcmurray1732 interior of the vw looks ugly af
@@charliemcmurray1732car comes STOCK loaded with every option and is around 25-30k, a gti would be 35 upwards
Looking forward to seeing the rebuild! Hopefully you can finish it with some of our parts 😉
As an i30 owner myself I look forward to seeing this build!
Great choice brother excited to see you fix it Haven’t seen anyone else on TH-cam rebuild it !
Brilliant content Chris👍 You have a New follower, iv been following Mat for a while now!
I think it’s a good buy and resale should be easy for most young people in the market, something different from other TH-camrs isn’t a bad thing too.
Glad to see once a car of Hyundai. Great cars . I hope that a lot of people wach this project.
Never really looked at these that much but now I have seen this it looks like a wicked little car 👍
Good choice of car Chris rather than just going for the obvious choices. I’m interested to see what you do with this one.
What a great motor! I've had 2 of them and still put a smile on my face. Look forward to this build 😁
Good choice of car there. I don't think I've seen anyone else rebuilding one yet here on TH-cam. Can't wait
Everyone goes golf or bmw. I quite like the i30n and wouldn't mind owning one In the future. For now I currently have my leon cupra 290 :)

Cracking cars. I’ve had them since release in early March 2018. Both the manual and the DCT version. Lovely cars.
Nice one Chris! I’m looking forward to you restoring this car! Glad to see you’ve taken your a different road to stand out from the crowd.
Lucky the airbags didn't blow, as far as I know they tend to pop quite quick. Looking forward to this build!
I thought this! Thanks man!
Hyundai, Genesis and Kia are sick
Curveball choice for UK tubers. Sounded awesome. Hyundai's are quick
Nice to see something different car wise 👌....interested to see the results 👍

I love seeing the channel grow perfect car choice keep it up
Used to own one and honestly the best car ever
Nice to see something else rather than an Audi or BM so you’ve got my interest👍👍👍
Cool car, glad someone’s doing a different generic car for once! Looking forward to this 👌🏻

Nice one doing something different! I’ve never noticed them as a hot hatch so looking forward to seeing what your plans are for it!
You will love it, i got the facelift and i must say it drives so much nicer compared to a gti
Great idea, it’s the type of car few people would buy, but everybody is curious about
I was so excited to see this notification. My mrs just bought a brand new facelift i30 N and it’s still in its breaking In miles but it’s can’t wait to see your content on this car. It’s an amazing machine. Nice one Chris. Solid buy so much car for the money, loads more kit than the competition. 👍🏾
I wouldn’t have known it was in a crash if it wasn’t for car vertical ha ha love it made me laugh good video mate love these cars the sound they make are so good
Very tuneable car.Loads of mods out there to get way over 300bhp.Good choice Chris,looking forward to see what you do with it
They're not very tunable, you can get them to 310 320 max without having to upgrade the turbo.
Yeah agree with the other comment, they aren't very tunable. Costs a decent amount to get it to 320bhp. Whereas the Honda Type R (FK2 or FK8) can get near 400bhp for the same price.

Great looking cars these and sound nice a refreshing change from golf r etc
Brilliant choice man, people underestimate these soo much
Great cars these,very underrated and a good price for crash damaged. Only bad thing is that rear quarter as it does look probably worse than it is but a good bodyshop should sort it out if the rear doors open&close alright
I'd take that Hyundai over the boring VW & BMW all day long
I can’t wait to see this build progress mate. Think this is an ideal start to a project and reckon you got a good deal 👍
I own one of these absolutely epic cars ✌️ good luck with the build buddy you’ll love it
Nice choice Chris, this will be interesting to see done. Very left field.
Just found your channel. Excited to see what you do with this mate, subscribed👌
Flipping top choice bruv, shout out for keeping variety throughout
It's great when someone choose other options than the usual german brands.
I am looking forward what you can bring from it 😄
Always been intrigued by these. Looking forward to this one
Had one of these last year, awesome car Chris. Looking forward to this one!
I30n performance are 271 bhp but usually dont get that on the rollers. IF you need help with genuine parts reach out I can help get them and direct you to them
Great choice Chris. This should be another epic build..I’m in 👍🏻
Absolute dream car right here
Just came across your channel mate great content looking forward to your uploads
you really did not realise it was in an accident before looking at the car vertical
🤣🤣🤣
Gives me OG Matt Amstrong Vibes. I rate this content hope it goes far.
will follow here, nice! Are there a pyro fuse on these?
Great video Chris, been waiting ages for you to show us the car. I came past yours the other day in a Leon k1 white. Nice to see a local making his dreams happen. Keep up the great work
Something unique this never clicked a video so fast ❤ looking forward to it
Amazing choice, hyundai are leading the charge now with this car, can't wait to see the build
Hyundai did a fab job for their first ever hot hatch; poaching Albert Berman from BMW’s M division was a bit of a masterstroke on their behalf.
I really like these; for a four cylinder they make a very naught noise.
A great project to buy Chris as they are meant to be really good cars.
Looking forward to this one mate. Maybe track day damage with the rubberised scrapes on the back
These came to my attention last year when at Donington Park race circuit to watch World Superbikes, sounded awesome and looked to handle very well, albeit in the hands of a racing driver.
Yes....something outside the box, great choice! Looking forward to the build
Chris there’s a Cat S, 69 plate with 21k same colour and spec for 15,240 on the trader, as said don’t go to crazy lol.
Looking forward to this though.
No way mate this is my dream car! Can't wait to see how this turns out
I reckon it spun out on the motorway as it has barrier damage marks on back bumper. It took the heavier hit on the front.
Doing something different - I like it. Also looked up a picture of a non-smashed one and really like the look of them. Fair play.
Great video and sound is mint. Looking forward to it. A refreshing change!
Well done mate, nice to see something different 👍🏻
Great to see it being fixed. I did bid on this one! But not my lucky day
There’s a blue theme going on here lol great video buddy
that sounds bangin
I like that the airbag made it
Nice one🔥
Well done you keep it up enjoy fixing it up you Ali Walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall
Keep up 🆙
love these cars, cant wait to see to process of repairing it and the end product nice work chris
Curveball - love it! Looking forward to seeing more.
Can't wait for this build 😁😁😁💪🏼
I just bought a Cat N one of these, waiting for it to arrive so i can start the fix up
I quite like the I30N nice looking car
Nice! Excited for the result 🎉

another good choice of salvage 👌🏻but what’s happening with the 135i?
My sisters other half has a stage 2 i30n the toque is unreal
I think that the issue with apple carplay is that its a plug in apple carplay rather then wireless, Try plugging your phone in next time and check if it works.
Look forward to this one and look forward to what you will finish up with. ✅👍👍👍👍👍
I think that hit a reservation and spun round which caused the rear damage looking at the 2 dark lines
Great content Chris! Something different, great choice of car. I worked for Hyundai for 18 months and they make good cars. 👍
workmates just boughtan i30n ... sick little car tbf ... the rev matching is sick
Didnt know they did that
@@Chris_Slix i believe you can configure it in the N mode settings but all N cars do it 👍🏻
The apple car play doesn't work because you have to plug your phone in I think (but I think this is the least of your troubles 😂).
I like the look of these, look forward to seeing what you do with it
Going to be a good build. Hot hatches are the one
That’s a funny looking RS6🤨🤣
Cool car , and nice to do something a little different than the usual golf’s or Audi’s 😊👍🏻
