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 plasti dip your brake calipers!

I recently discovered a thread on dipyourcar where people were discussing if you could plasti dip your brakes... I mean, seriously? I'm all for using it as a temp substitute for wheels as I obviously have but brake calipers is just too far! Spraying them with high temp caliper paint is not difficult at all.



What's next, plasti dip turbos!!



*sigh*

I think I have a leak on my brake lines. I'll just plastidip them so it doesn't have anywhere else to go. Surely the pressure isn't THAT high
