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.

Default Fuel gauges
Has anyone noticed that the first (top) half of the fuel gauge seems to move slower than the bottom half? Like it takes longer to go from full to half way, versus half way to almost empty. Am I just delirious or do other people notice that too?

I've noticed this in the RD as well, but didn't want to say anything for fear of sounding tin-foil-hat-ish.

Yep, same here. My LC drops mega fast around the middle third of the gauge, whereas the X3 drops really quickly to begin with, then drops slowly for the second half of the gauge.





What faith said.
