Hey everyone!
Really enjoying the Elantra sport, this is my second car (first new one), and decided to go for the manual. I spent over a year looking for a new car to replace my 19 year old Acura and have been really satisfied with my purchase. I only wish we got the Korean spec in the states (power seats, power mirrors, red leather, rear a/c vents, heated/cooled seats, heated steering wheel, rear parking sensors, rear heated seats) WTF Hyundai!! I really wanted the electric blue color but no one in the area had one. Just hit 1000 miles, I didn't even notice because I was thinking how comfortable the seats are
. I know very little about modding cars but am excited to learn more. I have some questions if anyone could help clear my confusion:
1. I have been reading on the forum that at 1000 miles people are doing oil changes, is this necessary/good?
2. I have been going back and forth about the K&N filter or the Shorty big gulp. I'm leaning towards the big gulp, however I'm not sure exactly how to install it (I'm confused about the recirculation tube and generally what tools/steps I'll need etc.).
3. Does installing the big gulp effect the ecu/engine? I know the ecu will compensate for the increased air flow but will it damage anything by doing so?
Thanks!
