of whats coming



no, those are not from an elantra

[BlackElantraGT]

Are those the Tiburon brakes Evan? How much did you get yours for?

[evan938]

50$ shipped

[05xd]

You sir are a lucky man.

[evan938]

they were listed on NT for like 65 shipped for the longest time. he lowered it to 50 and i knew someone would jump on em. it happened to be me.

im waiting to hear back from the guy who sells the rotor/pad combos...not the guy who did the GB here, theres another guy on NT who sells the same ones. going to be ordering rotors from a 2004 sonata double drilled and slotted.

[BlackElantraGT]

Yeah you definitely got a great deal on them. I think I got mine for $40+ shipping, but I didn't get the lines nor any pads. They're still sitting in my Uncle's garage somewhere. For all I know he might have thrown them away already.

[Vampyrate]

im sorry, i just have to... "OMGZORZ! what generation elantra is that from?!?"

nice man... hope your install does well

[evan938]

now i just need to figure out what to do when winter comes around and i put my GT wheels back on w/ my snow tires. im thinking some 10mm wheel spacers should give me the clearance i need and still not rub....195/65/15 tires...

[CTele02]

Im gonna try to go to a tib meet around here, maybe some will have some tib brakes left over for sale (if theyve upgraded)

[evan938]

might want to ask around so they know to bring them. i know i dont haul any spare parts around

[CTele02]

Well id want to talk to them in person about it first, then sometime down the road ill pick em up, im in no rush.

[only1db]

thats a pretty good price!! nice find!

[evan938]

thanks

i think im going to strip them down, paint them red, get a couple red couplers for my intake, ditch the blue ones, and get the car blacked out with some red accents

[Vampyrate]

evan, your theory about the 10mm spacer does seem to be the best bet for the winter months... i think you should pick up the spacer and try them on you car after you do the swap with your stock sized rims.. that way in the future for other members, there will be a reference to it...

[evan938]

well talk about a fast shipper (which is how i do things hoping to get the same reaction)...paid for this stuff around 8pm or so and i have a fedex tracking number right now. should all be here friday which means i can get started this weekend on stripping them down and getting them painted NICELY...not a 1 night job like my stock calipers. these are going to be BLINGING red.

[evan938]

update. calipers came in this morning, went to the hardware store after work, got a wire brush for a drill (screw using 3-4 dremmel bits at 3$/each...this one piece cost me 2.39 and it doesn wear down)...spent the better part of today working on these between stripping, priming, painting, clearing, drying, etc etc. probaly 2-3 hours of work, but i spent time from 1-11pm working on them

heres what they looked like when i got them


my new favorite tool for dirty *** parts...


after


the difference...yes, they cleaned up that silver


priming


painting


done and cleared

[KeWLKaT]

looks good

[evan938]

thanks. im happy with the results. now for my sonata double drilled/slotted rotors to get here and my wheels powdercoated and the paint fixed and ill be happy

[KeWLKaT]

its gonna look prime!

good luck dood

[04GTboySC]

evan, that paint job looks awesome makes me think i should redo my rotors cant wait to see the finished project
