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.

How sensitive should I set my shock sensor?

Default How sensitive should I set my shock sensor?

I know some people who have their sensors set to be super sensitive. If a leaf falls on the car, it goes off. I was thinking maybe it would be good to have it so that if someone hit the car hard enough to cause any kind of a dent, it would go off. Is that not sensitive enough, or just right?

If you could somehow increase the sensitivity when your neighbours are sleeping; you want it just sensitive enough for a sleeping cat or falling branch to set it off.

Where do you have your sensor at? That will determine some things as well as far as how sensitive it is.
