People still building their Tibs
How many people are still actively trying to build their tibs either with performance parts or appearance mods? It's has gotten increasingly harder over the years to find new stuff for us RD owners since the car isnt made any more. I wonder how the Koreans are doing with new stuff for their tibs over there.

I'm not sure what parts you could be talking about? In the past, it was difficult for custom parts to be built because we owned imports/hyundais, and the scene was still new in the states. But these days, finding shops to help build parts has become very easy. Think of the rarest part for us. The airam? The sprocket? Both of those can be built by a dozen companies. All you have to do is pick up a phone and show the money. It wouldn't cost much more than purchasing the originals.
I'm sure others know, but I just found out that oem parts are still sold everywhere, including the dealer.

Yep, got big plans for the Tib this year! New EMS and stereo for starters. Might go wild with interior this year as well. Been wanting a different look and feel for the inside of the car.

You should try getting parts for an 86 Celica!! lol Seriously though as these cars get older and older and the business case gets less and less aftermarket suppliers will make less and less parts. Its the nature of the beast. The exception to the rule is the Honduh guys. They seem to have an everlasting supply of parts at their disposal. Mainly due to the proliferation of Hondas at car shows as well as drag and road race events. I can count on one hand over the last 10 years I've seen a Hyundai anything at car show or race event and mainly it has been me and Tibbytib..lol

Mine's coming along slowly. I really need to stop pouring money into my MR2 and finish the Tib this year.... Like I have been saying for 2-3 years now 
FYI: there's a FB group just for RD owners that's pretty sweet. They don't stand for the same retardation the GK group is notorious for.

Tibbi...invite them all here! This site has the largest amount of info for RD's in the world! Between all of the HA content, and the RD Tiburon archives, this is a goldmine for them!

Not that it often yields much, but I do my part to show <3
I need an HA sticker for the Tib BTW. After the system is finished in a couple of weeks and the interior is painted I am going to start frequenting shows again. I have the old RDT logo on the calipers but that info is kinda... dated <_<
I need a sticker dood!
