ThatDudeinBlue you should Drive a 3G Eclipse with an Evo 8 head swap! I think you'll like it! ;) It's just as unnasuming as this and if not, more than this lol
What year was this elantra. I drive a Kia spectra and there the exact same thing. I was hoping I could figure out if it's a close enough year so I can find parts that way too.
I liked this video for 3 reasons: 1) Both people are chill and humble. 2) It's something different than your boosted Evo's/STi's/etc. Nice to see that David appreciates lightly modified cars that are out of the norm. 3) The dude drove all the way from Canada just for a review.
The fact that people find this weird , just means that people are scared. Not everything is 700hp civics and 1000hp evos. There are other cars out there that are fun to drive and to modify.
I agree completely. Not to mention many people dont realize this car was MADE for conversions. Mainly bolt-on's, for the amateur mech to start on, but if you know what you're doing you can make this car great
@@DinoHunter56 The only reason for you to be scared is if you are going to pay someone else do do your whole build, of not you shouldn't be scared why is it that around the world people build all kinds of cars and that you all never seen. You all are scared of getting your hands dirty and having to use you brain and the biggest thing of all what other people think.
@@Flako92 people are out there building them ha I have an elantra that i do dirt track racing with ha port polish head custom header and couple other mods 😎
in puerto rico almost every accent from 1996 to 2004 is engine swapped with Elantra 2.0 motor they fit almost flawlessly and it's effortless just plug and play. I love hyundai for this.
Probably makes it so much faster having the bigger engine in a accent huh? Puerto Rico loves Hyundais more than Honda yet in america Puerto Ricans here like Honda more lol
Elantra gang! I got pretty much the same set up on mine. Stage 2 clutch, intake, long tube headers, and drilled and slotted rotors. It's actually pretty fun to drive.
Yoo, 2000 elantra GLS 5 speed, 150,000 miles bone stock, wanting to do an intake and long tubes, then start on brakes system/lines. Eventually sway bars and upgraded clutch. Not sure I ever want to build the engine on this car.. might need to the way I drive it. Clutch started slipping recently as it gets hot.
Jeff Jeffy right here! Fixing mine up a bit. Just a daily. Thing gets gunned every day since its sooooo slow. Gonna take care of her and just buy a proper manual sports car when she dies or i graduate.
The Elantra XD and Tiburon GK community gotta give props for sure. It's definitely extremely hard to find aftermarket support for it. Usually end up modgepodging various other manufacturers to make it all work. Theres also a rare Alpine supercharger kit that was made for these four cylinders which is surprising!
I currently own the 05 gls sedan and i love it. more than my 02 accord that i had a while back (still a great car, but elantra is lighter and more fun to drive). it handles better around the corners, and throwing a short ram on with proper heat shielding and thermal coverings made the mechanical throttle feel like an on off switch for accelerations. The stock suspension on it really isnt too shabby, but im going to upgrade to some ksports and throw the 19mm rear sway bar from the tiburon on it (yes it fits, the tiburon is basically a hyundai with a different body and engine, coilovers, end links, rear and front sway bars, rack and pinyon, and more are all able to be placed on the elantra from the tiburon). You can get the things to handle like a go kart, and the beta block engine while not the best, is a 16 valve dohc inline 4. the beta block is actually capable of handling moderate boost at 6-9lbs for a considerable amount of time without seeing any mechanical failures so long as the internals are properly upgraded. Its a pretty decent little engine, and while you wont find any premade blocks, you could probably pretty easily get a billet block made for it if you have the funds. Theres alot of factories producing performance blocks for 16 valve dohc inline 4's. The stock wheels are actually smaller than the limit as well, ive seen people go as far as 20's with pretty minimal fender flaring, and 18's to 19's depending on the year model and stance. comes with disk brakes all around. stock tranny is a Mitsubishi 4 speed with a 5th non selectable overdrive gear for freeway travel. Brakes are good on this thing with how light it is, stops easily. Wheel can practically be moves with a finger or two and not actually gripping it but just pressing on it, makes quick responsive actions very easy to do. very maneuverable vehicle. Gas tank is metal, which is nice because its more sturdy, but gets dirty more easily (should be fine so long as you use the proper fuel grade from a reputable source). Alot of intake parts and induction parts are almost plug and play interchangable from accords and civics as well. Im running a specter short ram meant for a civic (as i said earlier) on mine. unfortunately things like cat backs, down pipes, manifolds, and throttle bodies have to be custom ground or made. you cant find the same level of aftermarket support as you can with civics and cars of similar popularity for obvious reasons, but thats kind of what makes it cool, its not the same route everyone and there grandparents have already walked down. Theres even a small but loyal community dedicated to the Elantra XD (generation name) that has a forum online. www.elantraxd.com it is to this day still very active with some members having been active since 2004/5. Never thought what i intended to be a regular daily driver to become one of my favorite project cars to work on, but the thing kinda rocks. Its low, stable, and fun as all hell to drive through twists and turns. The gls sedan doesnt even look like a hyundai either, looks more like a mini boxier version of the crown vic. with my current light mods and set up i get about 30-34mpg depending on the nature of the trip, which is fucking amazing with the world we live in right now. to anyone who has one, make sure you borescope your engine around 160,000 miles. Thats their life expectancy rating (many live much longer) but you want to be sure that you arent seeing any build up or heavy damage to the sleeves, or piston heads. Wouldnt be bad to have someone pull it apart, or pull it apart yourself to check and make sure all the gaskets and everything are good. At the minimum obd2 it and check the oil every 3k miles after 160k just to be sure you dont see sparkly bits (metal flakes). Luckily the engines are cheap if you need a new one, under 2k for one with cvvt (variable valve timing) and decently low mileage. (not counting shipping and handling+ taxes and fees) thats currently the boat im in right now, looking at a cvvt equipped replacement engine with 22k miles to get rid of my hard starting issues (pretty sure previous owner drove like and ass hat and now the engine has trouble starting and hitting idle when cold, as well as after pumping gas. Thought it was the pump, changed that, no good. maybe housing, changed that, no good. maybe lines needed to be vacuumed. no good. check for leaks. no good. injectors: working fine. sparks: fine multi meter to test wiring: fine. Obd2 only throws code for slight evap leak i have (annoying but not an actual issue) Wtf.jpeg when i spent over 800 dollars on replacement parts, worked for hours, and then payed people to do the work i didnt have the equipment for, only to realize my engine is probably just one thats been abused. Hell, atleast after i get the new sway bar, new coilovers, and new engine it will practically be a brand spanking new car. Eventually i plan on either k20swapping and getting it barred (so i can get the right ecu, do exhaust swap, tranny swap, and then do a carb compliant turbo build). Or, going the hotboy route, upgrading internals, and throwing an edelbrock supercharger on her and seeing what she can do. keep in mind all of this sounds like a blast, and it is, but its also expensive and painful as hell to get to a presentable and serviceable level. Since i started working on this thing its been one thing after the next. its been like that every single time i have ever started a project car to date. its never finished, its just further along than it was.
I have a V6 Tiburon that will be supercharged soon, configured mostly with used parts. Awesome cars, thank you for showing love to an early 2000 Hyundai
I like this because it shows you don't have to have a wad of cash to get involved and passionate in this hobby. It also shows no matter what you have there are people out there that customize it.
1301407gl I actually get 25-30 mpg in my tibby cause I’m in high gears most of the time on straight open roads tho. And I drive slow(well the speed limit I call slow)
ThatDudeinBlue I was wondering when you were going to do an earlier model Hyundai Elantra... Its a GT to!😏 They are great vehicles, especially for long destinces👍 I've got an 04 Hyundai Elantra GLS with a tranie swap from a GT and it shifts quicker and revs quicker! I've had it since 2012 and its still just as smooth as the day I bought it. Rockin video David✌
It’s actually funny that you did a little review on this because I happen to have an Elantra around the same time. Its my first car and a modded automatic, but gotta make due with what I got lol. Great video!
I4 Tiburons are also the same as I4 Eclipses, and they all have the 4G64/G4JS and with that, the heads from the Elantras are used all the time and the 2.4L blocks that come in 3G's, have been swapped into Tiburons cuz they have the DOHC to match since the eclipse has the SOHC
the KDM scene deserves more attention theirs a lot of dope cars that are criminally underrated, I've been playing with the idea of jumping into a KDM car for a while and I'm tempted once I get the means to trade up from my N/A forester
Love to see the old Elantra get some attention. I've daily driven a 2000 model with a 5 spd for 3 years, they're pretty solid and fun to zip around town. I daily drive a 03 RSX-S and I have to say that the Elantra is more fun under 40mph :P
These kind of builds are the most interesting since the owner had to improvise a lot to get it to work and there's often a really weird story behind it. We need more reviews like this!
Hey dude that owns that Hyundai elantra, u need a IAC restrictor plate and the rpms drop super fast. I had the same problem on my tiburon and this fixed that
The most hilarious part of this generation of hyundai is that they may not have intended it but the engine swap capabilites of engine between chassis is easier than swapping a Honda 🤯 as of right now I'm working on a 2.0l elantra swapped 2010 accent, and using evo 7 turbo stuff to make 350ish-whp on stock internals 🤌
I used to mod hyundais back in the day and had 2 elantras that i mostly just did suspensions and it was pretty nice and handled great. The Elantra gt i had was one of my favorites, a lot better than the tiburon i also had for a bit. My hyundai accent had every N/A mod and suspension mod that was available at the time and it was very peppy and handled awesome. It had a lot of potential but for the money spent, I probably could have turbo'd it.
i have an 04 elantra stock. absolutely nothing special but the acceleration is very punctual and its a little car so its super super fun to drive. it feels like you're driving a legal go cart on the road... super fun and cheap to own.
Bro half the people out here still think that American cars can’t corner. They’re just stupid and don’t understand that it’s self limiting to hate a car simply because of the brand.
Dude Shark it's kinda the same thing with the "FWD cars don't need wings" myth or the "No Replacement for Displacement" which is wrong because that's basically any form of Forced Induction.. so yeah that's pretty true and I pray people stop with these old misconceptions that they molded themselves into..
Great meeting you the other day man! At ATL autofest! So stoked to find you to be a really good guy! Cheers for the chat, Keep up the awesome work! - Rhys from Australia
Love this video... Had the 2005 Elantra... Went 1.8 turbo with ajustable suspension want with the 3 in cat back mangniflows on it... DC headers... And gained a good amount of horse power... My next mod was going to get it and do a drive train. Swap to all wheel but It got recked before I got that far .. so I like this guy's car...
I respect the Build , I put a FSworks turbo kit , a FSworks cold air intake and a few other things in my 08 Ford Focus SeS and it’s a fun car , it’s never going to be a fast car but it’s the fun of doing something different.
2001 Elantra was my first car. Even stock they're an absolute blast to drive. Also a crazy amount of boot space. And yes, the shift into 5th is always weird.
Don't know if you'll end up seeing this. But hit up BDR Racing Development. The bloke that runs it makes a special IAC restrictor plate that is very common in the Tiburon community. And it eliminates pretty much all rev hang and idle issues. Since its running the same 2.0 as the tib it should work. Hit them up.
I had a 2000 Elantra that I nodded a bit and straight piped it and it never got raspy and sounded pretty amazing for a 2.0L. it was an amazingly fun beater I only paid 400 for it and never had it die on me
Dude I have an elantra sport from 1995, thanks so much for telling me the tiburon's engine is swappable, because I just need new carpets and a fixed engine then my elantra runs
Former Tiburon (I/H/E and a bunch of rare KDM parts) and Genesis Coupe owner here. The reason why you dont see the Elantra and Tiburon modified much is because A) drivetrains cant hold power. (these are cornering machines) B) our aftermarket is virtually non existant (gotta get mostly everything from South Korea) C) owners are mostly broke people They are great machines i love my tib, back in the day i had my tib with a Seoulfulracing ECU tune able to to hit 8100RPMs N/A it was awesome. Been addicted to my Tiburon for years and i just cant let it go.
Rev hang is caused by the ECU keeping the throttle plate opened ever so slightly for a set duration of time when you lift throttle for fuel economy reasons
Used to have a 2002 Elantra GT. Also had the rev hang. I researched it and was told it was normal so I didn't argue. I kept my Elantra for 6 years. Their issue is rust with winter salted roads. The 2.0 "beta" from 2001-2006 (Up to Elantra Touring in 2011) is an ultra reliable engine. Granted mediocre in performance. That Elantra is super clean and looking great with those mags. I always liked the look of the 2001-2006 Elantra GT. I found the hatch and even the dash gave it a bit of a saab look. Pretty sure Hyundai of those days were aiming for that.
I had an '04 GT sedan, my wife had the hatch. I blacked out the H badges on mine, too, and she thought I was an idiot. I think it's just a better look with the matte black grille.
I had on of these 03 gt manual and I absolutely loved it I got real big in the local Community it was crazy there were 2 turbo ones! Mine had 194k then I wrecked it rip lol it had coil overs and intake and upgraded clutch
Dude, this is so fucking awesome. I have an '05 Hatch, 5 Speed. Mine has a sunroof and only 51k on it. Needs some work, but I love it. I had an '02 GT Hatch (manual, of course) for 6 years. That one had leather and everything. Wish I still had it. I'm about to get an exhaust for mine soon. After seeing this, I wanna get all the handling mods, as well.
Mustlehard I actually enjoy my Tiburon I happen to have a v6 with the better looking interior. Mine has been super reliable. And it's not quick by any means. But it gets the job done...I took it to 140 before
Mustlehard definitely a good first car, especially a good car to learn to drive manual in, not too quick, but really clean and a good car for its group with the plat forms of mitsubishi eclipse, civic si, accord coupe, v6 mustang, v6 camaro, 350z, its a good competitor, and can be modified to look really clean, just a car with a bad past and people that give it a bad name. Like an underdog
The 1st to 2nd gear grind at redline is a common issue. It has to do with Hyundais pullstyle clutch and the infamous rev hang. the easiest way to fix it is to get an IAC restrictor plate.
I just got one maybe 6 months ago? N we were wondering if anyone ever did something to one of these n this makes me want to.. it's a great car , reliable , doesn't draw much attention from cops ..
David....i had an 03 hatch with way more mods! Here are just a some. Teins super street coils (tiburon) Whiteline sway set at 22mm (norm is 14mm) Ingalls rear control arms(all 4 bars) Tiburon front seats Front, mid, and rear braces 5 lug swap with tiburon se brakes Ss brake lines Cai, cat back exhaust, headers Car was dailyed and it had 300k when i let it go....
I have a slightly modified 05 elantra as my only car. Also Mitsubishi made the engine for the 05 and 06 elantra. I've heard of ppl swapping the 4g63 into the elantra. I honesly enjoy my elantra even though its not stupid fast like other cars.
Does Brandon have youtube channel or something ? I really wanna see progress of that car I also have a 2004 Hyundai Elantra going to be doing stuff to it soon :D
I have an 06 elantra an it’s got something’s done to it as well it’s my second one I to love the car it’s got more potential than people know. Good luck...
Kyle's cars look at them now you have bmw and Audi engineers working for them which change the game for them and now they are out doing bmw and Mercedes
Kyle's cars the genesis was made to compete with the Mercedes s class and a bmw 7 series as a cheaper version of both those vehicles idk how you compare it to a bmw 325i.
Neo VeNoM as someone who has actually driven a 328, a genesis g80 and a stinger, the base stinger is crap. No one will test that base stinger and chose it over the bmw unless there is some kind of special incentive going on at the time for the Kia.
XHLXRD welll its a stock engine, mostly...still working on programing the itbs on the megasquirt. Hell i havent even got the thing to crank yet im just losing wood on this project. Cutting and fabing up the engine in the rear was easy enough but making it fun to drive on 12 inch skinny eco tires isnt. Also the fire wall and rear hatch is a bitttttch...trying to get it so when you open the hatch it lifts the top of the rear fire wall so u can get to it. Im thinking of just making a port to where u can just unlatch it and lift it out. Other than that its just da mad moneyz. Being a part timer at a auto part store leaves pleanty of time to do this. Not so much of a budget. Also my prof pic is my daily right now. Kinda miss my 38mpgs...oh thats right there is also the issue of the shift linkage. Duh...#noplan...shift soloids off the megasquirt? Think im going to need a baby i/o board now...hehe...have a motor atcuated clutch since its a cable clutch xD auto/manual geo xD. See why i never get this damn thing done? The linkage hitting the exhaust might be an issue...hehe y pipe off the manifold to duals with tiny ass glass packs...
1999ish Mitsubishi Mirages and EVO 4/5/6s share the same chassis so if you want you can use all OEM parts and turn a Mirage into what it should've been, an EVO (also apparently the only way to get a street legal EVO 4/5/6)
Although somewhat slow, these were great, cheap, cars. I owned a 2002 Elantra for 11 years. With just a few mods it makes a great driver's car, actually. Although the suspension is soft, especially certain years, it is fully independent. With the upgraded Tiburon sway bar the car ROTATES really nice. I could get it into power-off over-steer pretty easily. And it was DEAD reliable despite me beating on it daily. The seats were 12 way manually adjustable, with lumbar -- you don't get that in ANYTHING any more -- unless MAYBE you buy a luxury car! It was super easy to work on -- especially transmission fluid changes. Perhaps the biggest shortcoming of the XD-generation Elantra is the brakes -- they warp like crazy -- but can be upgraded for pretty cheap in a couple different ways. Anyway, I later bought a new 2014 Elantra but it was horrible -- worse steering, horrible handling, brakes sucked, transmission sucked, worse seats, and even terrible gas mileage. One of the worst car decisions of my life -- only owned it for 6 months before going crazy and trading it in .
this car is super fun and reliable, I Had a Spectra 08 the Wagon, Who has the same Platform and Engine and the G4GC its a sturdy Engine, Not a fast one but a Capable and reliable one
Hmmm. My get-to-work hooptie is an '08 Elantra. I'd love to warm it up a bit into something that ain't a rip-snortin' race car, but it'd be nice if the kimchi cruizer was a bit more zippy.
This was definitely one of my most randomish cars I've ever driven and never expected.
Thanks for watching and see you Thursday!

3) The dude drove all the way from Canada just for a review.
1. The car owner is chill. The other guy is kinda obnoxious and pretentious, "omg I can't believe you did this to THIS lmao"
Dudes so excited to have his car reviewed, it may not be everyone’s cup of tea but the whole story about this is very cool. Good on him!
The fact that people find this weird , just means that people are scared. Not everything is 700hp civics and 1000hp evos. There are other cars out there that are fun to drive and to modify.
People have good reason to be scared. Not all makes are equal. Just to give an example a KIA will not be as receptive to tuning as a Honda.

honestly it looks alot faster than it his. a v6 with 172 horsepower? plus 17-24 mpg.
1301407gl the Elantra gt makes like 140something hp do not far off from the v6 in the tiburon

A Tiburon V6 in a Elantra or accent sounds crazy I can imagine how fast it would make those
Thats what is so great about the car community is seeing all the different things people do and recognizing eachother for that. Great review David!
Down to Earth car modified nicely, driven by a down to Earth guy. Love it.
I was thinking it was going to have the v6 from a Tiburon in it.
Theres a red one with a supercharger
I was hoping for V6 too there was one in my town but it sat forever then it disappeared.
Even the V6s were slow
Bobby Bandz I know, I had a Tiburon with a v6 . 😂
The mech a nic the Beta II 4 cylinder makes more power under boost than a supercharged Delta(V6) ever could.
Loved my 05 Elantra! Good to see that other people saw the potential too.
You would like my boosted Altima
i bet he would like my boosted Hyundai i10
I bet he would like my boosted hot wheel. I also got a blown tonka truck.
M&R Tuning haha the primera is cooler! SR20 👌
I bet he would love my Fiat Tipo....
I learned to drive in an i30. The interior quality really surprised me considering how much korean cars get shit on.
that was my first car it handled beatings well. Used it as a pizza delivery car and put 200,000 miles on it and crashed it 3 times. I miss it so
Hope he continues with the build, very unique.
ThatDudeinBlue I was wondering when you were going to do an earlier model Hyundai Elantra... Its a GT to!😏 They are great vehicles, especially for long destinces👍 I've got an 04 Hyundai Elantra GLS with a tranie swap from a GT and it shifts quicker and revs quicker! I've had it since 2012 and its still just as smooth as the day I bought it. Rockin video David✌
It’s actually funny that you did a little review on this because I happen to have an Elantra around the same time. Its my first car and a modded automatic, but gotta make due with what I got lol. Great video!
I4 Tiburons are also the same as I4 Eclipses, and they all have the 4G64/G4JS and with that, the heads from the Elantras are used all the time and the 2.4L blocks that come in 3G's, have been swapped into Tiburons cuz they have the DOHC to match since the eclipse has the SOHC
I think I follow you on IG
That MaximaKid oh shoot! What is it? You might lol
Jordan Price my IG is my youtube name lol I think I follow ghost eclipse for ur car
Stay away from cars. And drugs.
That MaximaKid oh no that's not me.. that's Drew Mestel! I just use his Eclipse as my PFP cuz I think it's super nice..
I have the same car
It's silver
It's lowered
And I love it
I have the same but not a hatchback
Thats why you are one of the best car channel on YT.. still got around with normal and real car people ..keep up the good work David
3:50 "will senpai approve of my resonator?"
the KDM scene deserves more attention theirs a lot of dope cars that are criminally underrated, I've been playing with the idea of jumping into a KDM car for a while and I'm tempted once I get the means to trade up from my N/A forester
This specific elantra is pretty much everywhere in Egypt.
ITR Productions that’s terrible
also here in Jordan, they're beginning to replace all the very old mercedes-benzes, they're also really reliable.
Love to see the old Elantra get some attention. I've daily driven a 2000 model with a 5 spd for 3 years, they're pretty solid and fun to zip around town. I daily drive a 03 RSX-S and I have to say that the Elantra is more fun under 40mph :P
I daily'd my 2002 Sonata and those v6 engines pull hard! Hyundai is underrated.. But I still prefer my 240sx!
I respect his love for his car and how he works on his own car
Very interesting to see older modified elantras. And yes there are swappable parts between the Tiburon/Elantra. Now he just needs NOS!
These kind of builds are the most interesting since the owner had to improvise a lot to get it to work and there's often a really weird story behind it. We need more reviews like this!
Can you please do a Tiburon? I have one boosted and I get alot of hate for some reason. I'd love to see your opinion on them.
Chris Nobles ERIK BETS IN ATLANTA please!!!!
Preston Stevenson what is that? I live in Florida but I'd love to make the drive out there.
Preston Stevenson you should make a video on your Tiburon. Looks really clean!
You get a lotta hate because most people think the folks that drive those are tools.
Chris Nobles they are very underestimate
Hey dude that owns that Hyundai elantra, u need a IAC restrictor plate and the rpms drop super fast. I had the same problem on my tiburon and this fixed that
Brian I agree I added it to my 2002 Hyundai Elantra
Brian I have one on mine
Where to you get one? 😯
Dude I love all your Hyundai videos it almost makes me want you to review my Azera “The Hyundai that needs another chance”🔥❤️🤣
It good to see a elantra that era I have the 2013 elantra that I turbo with a Garrett gtx2860rs crazy torque streeing
This guy that's owns this car is awesome. Seems like such a cool humble human. I dig it
The most hilarious part of this generation of hyundai is that they may not have intended it but the engine swap capabilites of engine between chassis is easier than swapping a Honda 🤯 as of right now I'm working on a 2.0l elantra swapped 2010 accent, and using evo 7 turbo stuff to make 350ish-whp on stock internals 🤌
I used to mod hyundais back in the day and had 2 elantras that i mostly just did suspensions and it was pretty nice and handled great. The Elantra gt i had was one of my favorites, a lot better than the tiburon i also had for a bit. My hyundai accent had every N/A mod and suspension mod that was available at the time and it was very peppy and handled awesome. It had a lot of potential but for the money spent, I probably could have turbo'd it.
i have an 04 elantra stock. absolutely nothing special but the acceleration is very punctual and its a little car so its super super fun to drive. it feels like you're driving a legal go cart on the road... super fun and cheap to own.
I almost bought one of those back when I got my first new car. Pretty impressive for an Elantra! I really wanted that Tiburon though...
cheap car enthusiasts UNITE!
Yessss! 😂
Yes
Love all you do David, keep up the amazing content, I always look forward to your uploads.
One day the world will get past their yesteryear viewpoint of Hyundai/Kia.
never...
Omar Jamali then you will never advance....no one will wait for you.
Bro half the people out here still think that American cars can’t corner. They’re just stupid and don’t understand that it’s self limiting to hate a car simply because of the brand.
Dude Shark it's kinda the same thing with the "FWD cars don't need wings" myth or the "No Replacement for Displacement" which is wrong because that's basically any form of Forced Induction.. so yeah that's pretty true and I pray people stop with these old misconceptions that they molded themselves into..
The both of y'all made some good points.
Great meeting you the other day man! At ATL autofest! So stoked to find you to be a really good guy! Cheers for the chat, Keep up the awesome work! - Rhys from Australia
Cars like this are why I live
I had a 2003 Elantra that I did an air intake and exhaust on the car. It gave the car an extra 25ish HP and it was an excellent car for $400.
This is actually a good build, however, I prefer the newer Elantra Sport
I got a boosted 2000 hyundai elantra love it , fun lil grip car
Post a video I'm very interested, had a 00 Elantra and it was the most fun car I've owned despite not being so fast
Definitely one of my favourite car reviews/videos of this channel,
I love seeing cars you wouldn't expect to see modified.
Awesome car Brandon !
Love this video... Had the 2005 Elantra... Went 1.8 turbo with ajustable suspension want with the 3 in cat back mangniflows on it... DC headers... And gained a good amount of horse power... My next mod was going to get it and do a drive train. Swap to all wheel but It got recked before I got that far .. so I like this guy's car...
Its always fun to see unusual cars being modded. My first car to tinker with before I was old enough to drive was a 1992 Hyundai Elantra.
The revs stay up due to the idle air control valve. You can install a IAC restictor plate and completely get rid of the rev hang. $15 fix
I respect the Build , I put a FSworks turbo kit , a FSworks cold air intake and a few other things in my 08 Ford Focus SeS and it’s a fun car , it’s never going to be a fast car but it’s the fun of doing something different.
2001 Elantra was my first car. Even stock they're an absolute blast to drive. Also a crazy amount of boot space.
And yes, the shift into 5th is always weird.
Too cool! Thanks for doing these kind of cars.
My girlfriend bought one of these back in 05 brand new. Never thought it would be a thing to modify them! Different!
Don't know if you'll end up seeing this.
But hit up BDR Racing Development. The bloke that runs it makes a special IAC restrictor plate that is very common in the Tiburon community. And it eliminates pretty much all rev hang and idle issues. Since its running the same 2.0 as the tib it should work. Hit them up.
For the rev hang. Search BDR IAC Plate for the 2.0 it really helps with performance and throttle response
I had a 2000 Elantra that I nodded a bit and straight piped it and it never got raspy and sounded pretty amazing for a 2.0L. it was an amazingly fun beater I only paid 400 for it and never had it die on me
I just bought a 2004 accent gt hatchback, 5 speed it’s fun to drive around and I’m planning on building it around 300 hp
Dude I have an elantra sport from 1995, thanks so much for telling me the tiburon's engine is swappable, because I just need new carpets and a fixed engine then my elantra runs
Former Tiburon (I/H/E and a bunch of rare KDM parts) and Genesis Coupe owner here.
The reason why you dont see the Elantra and Tiburon modified much is because
A) drivetrains cant hold power. (these are cornering machines)
B) our aftermarket is virtually non existant (gotta get mostly everything from South Korea)
C) owners are mostly broke people
They are great machines i love my tib, back in the day i had my tib with a Seoulfulracing ECU tune able to to hit 8100RPMs N/A it was awesome. Been addicted to my Tiburon for years and i just cant let it go.
Rev hang is caused by the ECU keeping the throttle plate opened ever so slightly for a set duration of time when you lift throttle for fuel economy reasons
T.O 👍 When I was first born I lived near Young and Bloor
Used to have a 2002 Elantra GT.
Also had the rev hang. I researched it and was told it was normal so I didn't argue.
I kept my Elantra for 6 years. Their issue is rust with winter salted roads.
The 2.0 "beta" from 2001-2006 (Up to Elantra Touring in 2011) is an ultra reliable engine. Granted mediocre in performance.
That Elantra is super clean and looking great with those mags.
I always liked the look of the 2001-2006 Elantra GT. I found the hatch and even the dash gave it a bit of a saab look. Pretty sure Hyundai of those days were aiming for that.
i drive all over toronto, i will be concerned passing modified elantras now.....
JustAnotherHo unless you drive an absolute shitbox i wouldnt worry
I thought he was gonna mention the shit roads we have here in Toronto
One with a turbo will
I had an '04 GT sedan, my wife had the hatch. I blacked out the H badges on mine, too, and she thought I was an idiot. I think it's just a better look with the matte black grille.
I had on of these 03 gt manual and I absolutely loved it I got real big in the local Community it was crazy there were 2 turbo ones! Mine had 194k then I wrecked it rip lol it had coil overs and intake and upgraded clutch
I went 115 in it
What kind coil overs?
Dude, this is so fucking awesome. I have an '05 Hatch, 5 Speed. Mine has a sunroof and only 51k on it. Needs some work, but I love it. I had an '02 GT Hatch (manual, of course) for 6 years. That one had leather and everything. Wish I still had it. I'm about to get an exhaust for mine soon. After seeing this, I wanna get all the handling mods, as well.
You say “a tiburon in disguise” like the tiburon is something to be impressed with 😂 lol you’re funny. I did love that car in nfs though
Mustlehard I actually enjoy my Tiburon I happen to have a v6 with the better looking interior. Mine has been super reliable. And it's not quick by any means. But it gets the job done...I took it to 140 before
Mustlehard definitely a good first car, especially a good car to learn to drive manual in, not too quick, but really clean and a good car for its group with the plat forms of mitsubishi eclipse, civic si, accord coupe, v6 mustang, v6 camaro, 350z, its a good competitor, and can be modified to look really clean, just a car with a bad past and people that give it a bad name. Like an underdog
The 1st to 2nd gear grind at redline is a common issue. It has to do with Hyundais pullstyle clutch and the infamous rev hang. the easiest way to fix it is to get an IAC restrictor plate.
The early 2000s elantra is nice looking
I just got one maybe 6 months ago? N we were wondering if anyone ever did something to one of these n this makes me want to.. it's a great car , reliable , doesn't draw much attention from cops ..
I like the back end of these cars alot, and super cool that it's a Tiburon
Their should de more of those with turbos
David....i had an 03 hatch with way more mods! Here are just a some.
Teins super street coils (tiburon)
Whiteline sway set at 22mm (norm is 14mm)
Ingalls rear control arms(all 4 bars)
Tiburon front seats
Front, mid, and rear braces
5 lug swap with tiburon se brakes
Ss brake lines
Cai, cat back exhaust, headers
Car was dailyed and it had 300k when i let it go....
I have a slightly modified 05 elantra as my only car. Also Mitsubishi made the engine for the 05 and 06 elantra. I've heard of ppl swapping the 4g63 into the elantra. I honesly enjoy my elantra even though its not stupid fast like other cars.
Does Brandon have youtube channel or something ? I really wanna see progress of that car I also have a 2004 Hyundai Elantra going to be doing stuff to it soon :D
I have an 06 elantra an it’s got something’s done to it as well it’s my second one I to love the car it’s got more potential than people know. Good luck...
“This is the era of Hyundai people didn’t take seriously” that’s all era’s of Hyundai.
Kyle's cars look at them now you have bmw and Audi engineers working for them which change the game for them and now they are out doing bmw and Mercedes
Micah Hill 2018 bmw 328i is $10k less than an ‘18 genesis. So hopefully it’s somehow better.
it's equipped is pretty much bone stock compared to a '18 Genesis.
Better compare the 328 with a Kia Stinger.
Kyle's cars the genesis was made to compete with the Mercedes s class and a bmw 7 series as a cheaper version of both those vehicles idk how you compare it to a bmw 325i.
Neo VeNoM as someone who has actually driven a 328, a genesis g80 and a stinger, the base stinger is crap. No one will test that base stinger and chose it over the bmw unless there is some kind of special incentive going on at the time for the Kia.
I just got my 05 Elantra free, needs clutch too, knew it was a Tiburon chassis, but too ehh to do it.....NOW IM MOTIVATED!!!!
Please do a follow up and more in depth look at this car in the future would love to know more I have the same car and have wanted to do what he did.
I have a slammed, modified elantra the same year and I live 30 minutes from you haha
Anyone down to see a rear engine geo metro?
XHLXRD welll its a stock engine, mostly...still working on programing the itbs on the megasquirt. Hell i havent even got the thing to crank yet im just losing wood on this project. Cutting and fabing up the engine in the rear was easy enough but making it fun to drive on 12 inch skinny eco tires isnt. Also the fire wall and rear hatch is a bitttttch...trying to get it so when you open the hatch it lifts the top of the rear fire wall so u can get to it. Im thinking of just making a port to where u can just unlatch it and lift it out. Other than that its just da mad moneyz. Being a part timer at a auto part store leaves pleanty of time to do this. Not so much of a budget. Also my prof pic is my daily right now. Kinda miss my 38mpgs...oh thats right there is also the issue of the shift linkage. Duh...#noplan...shift soloids off the megasquirt? Think im going to need a baby i/o board now...hehe...have a motor atcuated clutch since its a cable clutch xD auto/manual geo xD. See why i never get this damn thing done? The linkage hitting the exhaust might be an issue...hehe y pipe off the manifold to duals with tiny ass glass packs...
1999ish Mitsubishi Mirages and EVO 4/5/6s share the same chassis so if you want you can use all OEM parts and turn a Mirage into what it should've been, an EVO (also apparently the only way to get a street legal EVO 4/5/6)
stmk2020 evo 4s will be legal in a year or two so I’d rather wait
same with 5/6?
Yeah as soon they turn 25yrs old from the manufactured date
Although somewhat slow, these were great, cheap, cars. I owned a 2002 Elantra for 11 years. With just a few mods it makes a great driver's car, actually. Although the suspension is soft, especially certain years, it is fully independent. With the upgraded Tiburon sway bar the car ROTATES really nice. I could get it into power-off over-steer pretty easily. And it was DEAD reliable despite me beating on it daily. The seats were 12 way manually adjustable, with lumbar -- you don't get that in ANYTHING any more -- unless MAYBE you buy a luxury car! It was super easy to work on -- especially transmission fluid changes. Perhaps the biggest shortcoming of the XD-generation Elantra is the brakes -- they warp like crazy -- but can be upgraded for pretty cheap in a couple different ways. Anyway, I later bought a new 2014 Elantra but it was horrible -- worse steering, horrible handling, brakes sucked, transmission sucked, worse seats, and even terrible gas mileage. One of the worst car decisions of my life -- only owned it for 6 months before going crazy and trading it in .
Show Me What I Need To Know the XD and XD2 Elantras were some of the best for sure.
That’s pretty cool!! I’m thinking about tiburon v6 swapping my 2000 Elantra gls. It would be something different.
this car is super fun and reliable, I Had a Spectra 08 the Wagon, Who has the same Platform and Engine and the G4GC its a sturdy Engine, Not a fast one but a Capable and reliable one
I have modest plans for my 03 GT sedan. Not a racer but just a tough little highway car.
Nice car!
I have the Elantra touring & love it!
Hmmm. My get-to-work hooptie is an '08 Elantra. I'd love to warm it up a bit into something that ain't a rip-snortin' race car, but it'd be nice if the kimchi cruizer was a bit more zippy.
Love seeing unusual builds!
He can also get a evo turbo manifold evo 8-9 just have to make a fee bolt holes on the manifold wider because a few of the bits dont line up
Any chance on reviewing new Stinger?
Dunno if the owner of this car will ever be able to read this, but they make restrictor plates for the iacv to prevent rev hang :).
