Anyone want to help me find some parts for my project BetaI
This is my first post here but I was wondering if anyone knew of where I could find a forged crank and rods, performance valvesprings, a good set of performance turbo cams, and some F1 or similar fenders for my 1998 tiburon FX. I plan on doing some major engine upgrades soon that include: Alpine turbo kit, tigerlily turbo pistons, Airram intake man., KRD cat-back, Oil catch tank, rside turbo throttle body, Yaya suspension bushings, Yaya motor mounts, a kspec FGR conversion, as well as some Apexi electronic goodies. My basic overall goal is to create a betaI with at least 400whp that will eat just about any street driven civic in my area. Any additional advice, support, info, or comments are appreciated.

Contact Kspec.com, they aren't on the site, but we can get them and sell them. Either post on the site or email sales@kspec.com

No clue. If they are made, they are in Korea. If they are in Korea, Kspec.com can get them.

Same as the first answer.

No one makes any fenders for us right now except for Curt at Custom Composite. Most everyone is boycotting him right now for shady sales practices. He still owes me $200 and 2 scoops. He sells on Ebay under some new name now to avoid his bad rep. Don't deal with him.

The Alpine kit, don't know how you'll get 400WHP out of that. You'd be better off going custom. The pistons are available at a few of the sites Autobot listed. The Airram we just had a Group Buy on, contact me, I may be able to get you the same price. The KRD Catback is out of production right now according to Importshark.com's site. I know of no other retailer for their exhausts. The Turbo Throttle Bodies are out of stock, Rside is not going to make more unless someone orders 100 of them. Prolly not gonna happen. At least not soon. Check at http://www.rdtiburon.com, there is a group buy going on there for the new Iceman BBTB's man, one will be at 70MM, that's your only chance for one that big. Also, contact me on the Yaya Suspension bushings.
You've got some goals, I'll give you that, but have you thought about an LSD for that power? Axels?

Thanx for the info... I am getting more interested in a Quaife or similar LSD and some high per. axles. I can find the LSD but anyone know where to find some axles?
Re: Anyone want to help me find some parts for my project BetaI
There's only one place to get the Quaife right now, you have to contact Littlejohn on the RDTiburon.com forums. His racing team sells them.
Kspec.com also sells the MnTEC LSD's, supposed to be very nice. We've sold a few. Same company makes racing Tranny's and FGR's, not to mention Axels. We will start selling them soon if they aren't too heavy.
Stateside, again, Littlejohn is getting some custom made, maybe the folks doing his will start to do them for everyone. He's shooting at 600HP.
