Hyundai Aftermarket

Hyundai Elantra Forum The Hyundai Elantra Forum. Later models (96-up) of this 4-door share their Beta engines and chassis with the Hyundai Tiburon. Earlier Mistubishi-based Hyundai Elantras (92-95) are perfect candidates for the popular 4g63t motor swap, which turns the Hyundai Elantra into a real sleeper. These characteristics make the Hyundai Elantra a great car for those who want sports car performance with family car flexibility.

Did the elantra GT's come with anything different from the factory to give them more hp than a non gt? Did people at one time think the cams out of an elantra gt were on par with a performance upgrade that the 1.8 cams gave?

Like black body trim and marker lights with an angled edge so you can't buy the clear ones, lol..... Engine is the same though.
