Hola, iv had my tib for about a year now and iv done a coupla things...but never smart decisions so thats why i like to read about other peoples problems before i repet them. im currently working towards getting teh Eibach pro-system kit ( i think its called) and i still need to change my brake setup to teh 00-01 setup and i was wondering if anyone had any extra parts or knew of a junk yard near them with the parts (hub, spindle, rotor, calipers) cause the one JY near me dosnt have any tibs so any help would be great. thanks a lot and i look forward to hooking up my tib

Well i got a new headers, exhaust, intake and hood all off ebay...ill spare you the details but im never shopping there again...you really do get what you pay for.
i got the Ram Air hood, it was in good condition and all, i guess the only problem i had was that i was a moron....i was changing the hood pins to locking pins and long story short- i forgot to put the pins back in before i could do the change and the hood flew off, but not before scaring the shit out of me and denting the roof, not to mention the new windshield. so im trying to be more cautious in my purchases and i think im going to work from the inside out this time, i.e. suspension and other things that will get the car to run for a couple more years..so if you have any products besides the exhaust... lemme know. My brother bought rims for the car...and i guess he followed my lead cause he got chipped, nasty rims from a friend of his and only the rears are on now. so first on my list is the brake swap...i appreciate all the help, im sure ill be visiting the site a lot more!! thanks for the help so far

What kind of Exhaust/Headers/Intake did you get? Sucks about the hood. Before it flew off was the fitment good on it or was it soso?

Headers, Exhaust - SS Auto Chrome

No real problems so far, except i had to get the hole in the headers plugged because of O2 sensor alignment, and had to get one drilled for the flex pipe but other that that...nothing wrong with it. I wouldn't advise anyone to get a full exhaust or at least keep your cat in, cause i'm gonna have to go back to inspection soon, and let just say you can smell that i don't have a cat. i'm not sure what i wanna do but i have until June, so if anyone knows of any good aftermarket, but clean products i could get, hit me up.

Ram Air Hood - Ebay (but can be found on importshark.com )

i'm not sure about the fitment cause i just took it to Maaco (quality/prices of Ebay) but it didn't look like there were any real problems since i ended up taking it of myself to replace the hinges after it flew off. but if you get a hood, don't just rely on generic hood-pins (maybe an obvious point) but coulda gotten me into real trouble.

Intake - another beautiful Ebay buy

in short...the only thing i could use was the filter...the one i got for like $40 has some hole in it that has no purpose or reason, trust me its not for the O2 sensor, i had my mechanic friend at the time look at it and they couldn't figure anything out. so i'm gonna end up spending an assload on an EM at sometime, btw does anyone really think that CAI really helps THAT much for the hp?? should i just get a ram air?


oh and i live in NJ now..and i'm looking for meets or anything, just looking for a fellow tib enthusiast

Welcome to the site.

I think pads and calipers are the same for non-captive and captive setup. (correct me if I'm wrong)
