Re: Donation.......Shouts
Okay someone interested me in this over the weekend but I have yet to get a response back on his thread so I created this one.
I need to know what is needed to swap my PITA captive front rotors to the nice and easy non-captive style on the 2nd Gen's. From what I have gathered I need Hubs and Spindles. I also read that you need Calipers, but I think it is untrue. Any help will be greatly appreciated, I will do a full DIY for this as long as I can find the parts.
Thanks

Re: Sputtering @ Low RPMs
Yeah I gotta find some parts, then I'll do it. I absolutely want to kick the engineer that came up with this garbage captive idea square in the nads!

Re: NW/West Coast Roll Call
Sorry to hijack but how do you know if you have captive rotors?
I have a 1998 Tiburon S/E w/ all 4 disc brakes.

Re: CD unit trouble
I'm 99.99999% sure you have Captive rotor.
Take your front wheel off (either side)
if you see 4 big honking Bolt heads, then you have Captive rotors.
Looks like this:
If you only see 2 phillips screw heads, you do not.
