Where to find!?

[Tibbiette]

hey.. i have captive rotors on my front tibby. I need to swap them out to put my rims on. Just wondering where every body who did the conversion find the parts to swap ? did you guys go to the junk yard? where else can i look?
and also.. what exactly do i need from a rd2 tib to do the swap?
thank you!

I bought a whole RD2 at a junk yard. I haven't done the swap yet but here is a link on how to do it http://hyundaiperformance.com/tech/d.../001/index.php

All you have to do is remove the two screws from each rotor. No hardware need just a screw driver and a bit of muscle...

It's the easiest mod I've done so far and don't worry it's safe I did mine a year ago and haven't had a problem.

Racer X u dont have captive rotors then. If u can remove the screws u have non-captive rotors. he has to do a swap of hubs, spindles and rotors from a non-captive setup which only came on 1999 and up tiburons. I was going to do it when i had my tib but i said forget it

hey guys.. thanks for the replies. so all i need is the rotors, spindles (whats is that?), and hub (what is that as well?) am i right?

where else can i find these parts?

hey..you dont need to do a whole conversion for rims...try to find rims that was made for captive rotors...it will work out better(not to mention cheaper) for you...i have a 97 tib and have rims with the stock rotors on mine...never had to replace a thing...just a thought but if you really want to do the swap...just call up the dealership and ask them for all the parts needed for a non-captive rotor conversion on your car good luck

Search for that All Hyundai and Isuzu parts junkyard. They have a website too where you can request parts. Hope that helps.:smoking:

theaznsensation, What brand of rims do you have? I have a 1997 Tib too, looking to trash my stock rims. I am having trouble finding anything I like due to the captive rotors.

I am realy getting tired of every time somebody posts about captive rotors, somebody with noncaptive rotors talks about the assembly screws.

Be careful about how you answer questions because if he would have listened to you, his wheels would have fallen off while driving down the road.

I am not just getting on you, tons of people have done the same thing lately.

Maybe he wants a particular set of wheels that will not fit and has to do the conversion. Swapping to noncaptive rotors greatly opens the wheel choices up and the possibilities for brake upgrades. Also, when it comes time to replace rotors, it will be cheaper since most people can do noncaptive rotors themselves and shops charge a grip to do captive rotors.
