1.8 or 1.6 ?

Hi Civicspoon, i do find the car throttle a bit hard, pickup was good but not like racing type , maybe because of eco mode on, this is what i did, normally to get sudden pickup, i use shiftronic and drop the gear, can feel the power seriously, the RPM cut off also high, so what i did was, i was on hurry for my futsal game, so have to go to Banting all the way from klang, i use shifttronic all the way 37KM to dest, man tell u the car roar like nobodies business, after that even driving on normal D mode, the car pickup and engine response became way more powerful, i told this to my fren, he said it is normal and it is a must for every car to be throttled hard at least twice in a month to clean up all the engine carbons and get maxed lubricated

Yup u are right, high temp not suitable for throttling,...

I tint my car using AGARD tint, cheap and good, it implements the safety film technology, where robbers will have hard time to break your windshield, the ray reduction for this tint is 75% both Solar and UV and the amount of thickness is 65%, it's more than what JPJ allowed(55%), but the car accessory shop claim, JPJ normally tak layan much if 65% because still can see inside, if got summoned, he ask me to bring to him, he can get the Manufacturer settle that for me.., got 2 variant, 1 is 75% Rays Block and another is 85 - 90% Rays block not so sure but higher than what i apply for my car..., check out with your local car accessory shop and see...

Don't trust that bro, it always wrong, mine also same, first it shows 563, than second 513, than 502, than 490, 480 and bla bla bla, but if you check in the midst around 3/4 tank of oil, it will be different reading, the difference between ur diffrence Trip A and current reading will be more than what initially it shows, something like trying to learn hard what will be the full tank consumption based on your previous driving, for me even thou it shows low, i still can get 420++ on a full tank, 60% city 40% highway

ya bro true also, but not only elantra face this issue, most of the car in the market if you compare the europe or US spec, those westerners specs are more better with less price, this is more towards Government lor, hahaha, go check the Ford Focus, the US version have GPS and reverse Cam, but our version don't have..., can't do much lor...

bro waht the diffrent of using K&N drop in with Iridium Plugs ?, will it give better power ?, better FC or ?

bro will this make any issue to car warranty ??? and where to get it, u mention SC ppl in ur reply, is that mean the Hyundai Service Center ppl ???, sorry just confused a bit

How u disconnected -ve terminal for 15 minits bro ?, can share here ??

Hi HKS

Normally i drive until the Petrol light comes on and i drove the last bar further about 30 - 40 KM and will pump in OIl, it will still left about 3 - 4 lit of petrol when i'm fueling it up

guyz, can anyone send invite for me to the elantra FB club

I Use mobil 1 5w 40, performance very good, give it a try...

i had the same prob, mine was worst, i can't even speed more than 120kph, the car will became very unstable, once i reported, they said need to change the rear shock absorbers and the coil spring to more improvised version, after change, ok can drive fast, cornering i will say slight improvement, the skips is still there on uneven surface cornering, but to be frank when u go on highway at high speed the car will feel very soft, so when take highway long cornering from the most left side (speed lane) u have to hold the steering light, because the Elantra EPS is not good in putting proper weight to the steering, maybe only i feel so , but for me after i pass above 160kph, my car is more stable because of the rear diffuser i have, it makes the car like stick to the road, hehe, but still the steering feel soft, so have to handle it lightly, my fren suggest to install anti roll bar on rear lower arm, maybe i might but not now, apart from that, it is a great car, good for touring at speed 120 - 140kph(stable mostly at this speed), very comfortable ride, regarding FC, like what civispoon claim, engine oil and the type of petrol u use makes allot different, DON'T GO FOR SHELL, it sucks, will make ur car under-power, i use petron and clatex, even on rough driving i can get 425Km untill my last bar started to blink and still push the car further to 10 - 15km before i pump oil, normal drive combine cycle, i can get good FC easily 480 to 520Km until the last bar started to blink, mine is 1.8, hope this helps

i heard Kayaba rear shock absorbers offers better handling for the new elantra, anybody have knowledge on this ?, have anyone changed 1 ?

Hi,

that is normal, it is actuallynot from engine, it is from the exhaust system, this is very normal for C segment cars, because of the high horse-powered engine, the exhaust seems to be more hotter, this info i got from one my fren using perdana V6, he has good knowledge in car engine systems,

hi,

is it ok to use 0w 30 ?, because my mobil 1 5w 40 is already too light, i saw the oil, it is very thin, mobil do have 0w 40 but the shop fellow told me the oil is for racing type engine mostly turbo powered like BWM and VW,

good to hear that, mine is more stable now after the absorber change, but i notice on load car looks good too, more stable, anyhow, i have plans for the anti roll bar for the rear portion and some US sites recommend changing the suckiest absorber to Kayaba after market absorber, seems like it solve most of the stability issue

yup exactly, it's the material Hyundai use...

I Strongly believe it is the Tyre, i had the same issue after i did alignment, the alignment shop fellow claim the chamber and all alignment setting is good and he say this is the Tyre issue, mine also was pulling to the left, so what he did he took out the left tyre/rim and put it to the right hand sight and right to the left, after that the car started to pull to the right but very minimal compare to how was in left sight, so there he confirms this is because of tyre even not rim because when he change, he did check the wheel balancing, the rim is in good shape not dented, after the change the car drives way better with slight pull to the right, finally i had a idea, i know that that rear part of the car is not adjustable it is fixed, so i took the rear rim/tyre and swap it with the front rim/tyres, so the front set goes to the rear and rear set comes to the front, immediately the problem solved, give it a try and see....

Ya Agree
