Bob;

Albeit unknown to yourself, your modest by currently pissed ways, you have a stature
amoung the elite Stealth World(no shit Sherlock!!) and should insist on a free cap. If
that fails perhaps you should tell them that we (at least me) as a list will think ill,
if not speak ill of them from this time on. After all, there is strength in numbers, and
when they shit upon our elite, we will respond.

Subject: owner info requested/added database features


Hi everyone,
=20
If you didn't already know, I am maintaining a Stealth/3000GT owners =
database on my website.  Parham and Eric Lotter have expressed interest =
in using this database on www.3si.org and www.3000gt.com respectively.
=20
I have recently added many nice features to search on the database.  You =
can search by first or last name, city, state, model type, model year, =
3siID, and modifications.  For example to search on all owners that have =
VR-4's, click the model year checkbox and select VR-4.  A list of owners =
whose info matches the criteria you've specified will be generated.
=20
The database is on my VR-4 page on my web-site at =
http://www.groupworks.com/people/dblack
=20
If you want your info added, either email me privately =
(dblack@groupworks.com) or use the link on my VR-4 page.  I've been =
having some ASP problems and have temporarily setup a link for you to =
add your info to the database by sending me an email.
=20
If you have tried to add your info by using the link on my web-site, I =
must apologize that is hasn't worked exactly as planned and your info =
was NOT added to the database.  The problems are being worked on when I =
have a few moments to spare at work.
=20
Let me know what you guys think.  All responses and suggestions are =
welcomed.  Thanks.

<P>Good on Ron...nice car!!!! I believe a thread on this in the past indicated
that these features are automated on the later generation 3S so that over

From: Mike Chapleski <mike.chapleski@ibm.net>
Subject: Team3S: Brake Wobble

    OK, I have a weird problem with my brakes.  I first noticed this
problem when I initially bought the car back in May.  After accelerating
from 0-100 MPH, I hit the brakes hard.  I get an almost immediate wobble
in the brakes that just gets worse the more I stay on them.  Now here is
the weird part.  If  I accelerate normally up to 100 and slam on the
brakes just as hard, I do not get any wobble.  My first reaction was it
was some kind of drive train problem.  Since it only appeared after a
hard acceleration run.  Well I had the transmission replaced in July and
have not been doing much heavy accelerating since then.  Until last
night.

    Three times I got on it hard, but did not use the brakes to slow
down, just coasted.  Then a forth time I floored it up to 130 MPH then
hit the brakes.  I immediately felt the wobble and it got a lot worse,
to the point I was afraid something was going to fall off.  Well I
cruised at 80 for about a minute then slowly back up to 120 MPH.  I once
again hit the brakes and they smoothly stopped the car.  NO wobble.  I
do not have any wobble when I drive the car under normal conditions.
Only right after I accelerate very hard.  Any ideas?

    BTW, all lug nuts are torqued to 100 ft-lbs. 21k miles, original
Yoko tires, crappy stock chrome rims.
