Team3S: Pre-cat eliminators
Barry and others,
For what it is
worth, the earlier than 94 pre-cats are different. The
94+
are angled differently than the 92 parts.
Your builder would
probably need to make two sets, or build them including
the downpipe (to make
them universal)
I might be interested in pre-cat eliminators if Brian
would ever ship my
exhaust that I have been waiting for. (for over a
month.) Brian, are you
alive?
November drag wars have come &
gone, I need an exhaust still.

Team3S: Pre-cat eliminators
I am about to have pre-cat eliminator
housings built. I have left them with
the builder and he doesn't see
the big deal. He has yet to determine a
price but is willing to give it
a shot. My car will be a guinea pig I
guess.
If successful, how
many people will commit to purchasing a set?
They will likely be ceramic
coated but it depends upon price.
Regards,
Barry

Team3S: My car is DEAD!
Well boys and girls,
As
some of you may have remembered, I recently purchased a JEEP
wrangler.
The Stealth has been parked for about three weeks now in a
friends
garage. Today, I needed to get something out of it, so before I
had to
be at work I dropped by his house. I decided it was HIGH time I
pull
the mothballs off of old girl and AT least drive her to work.
Things were
going well until I got about 300 yards from the parking lot
of the TV station
I work at.
I had a red light so I stopped. I was in the left hand
lane of two
lanes going the direction that I was headed, and I needed(when
the light
turned green) to get over into the right hand lane so I could turn
into
the parking lot I was headed to. When my light turned green, I
waited
for the car that was to my right to proceed so that I could sneak
in
behind him and make the turn. After about three to four seconds of
MY
light being green, I went.
WHAM!!!!
I was hit HARD by an
ambulance.....no lights....no siren....not even an
F-ing patient in
transit. Just two female EMT's having what must have
been an
extraordinarly interesting conversation....not paying attention
to the road
or the traffic signals. They had to have been going at
least 30
MPH.
Well....my first thought was OH SHIT...I just hit an
ambulance....but
once I realized they weren't in a hurry. I got a bit
agitated.
They hit just in front of the drivers side front wheel. The
front left
quarter panel, the hood, the front bumper, and the
headlight
mecanism....all beyond recognition. The oil cooler and
intercooler were
destroyed, oil was rushing out of the car at an incredulous
rate. The
frame is surely bent...the nose of the car is twisted up and
toward the
passenger side. Who knows, at this point, what is wrong on
the
suspension/steering. I'm going to miss my baby.
The B!^@#
that was driving had the audacity to suggest to the cop taking
the accident
report that her light was yellow.
The good news is that my good friend
Titus(who's house the car was
stored at) was directly behind me, driving my
Jeep, and behind him was
another co-worker of mine named Jay who corroborated
my story that my
light had turned green and I WAITED to proceed into the
intersection.
Had I not waited....had I lurched out into the intersection,
She
probably would have broadsided me and they would have been peeling
my
ass out of my beautiful red car with the jaws of life. I took a
video
of the car with one of the news cameras tonight, tomorrow I'll try
to
get some still pics and post them somwhere so that everyone can see
what
a 15,000 Lb ambulance can do to a 5,000 Lb sports car @ 30
MPH
Hope everybody's day was better than mine. Glad I just bought a
second
car. I'm going to need it.

What an incredible bummer! I don't know how
I would deal with such a stupid
accident (not that many of them are
smart...).
You should get a lawyer on it right away, because unless it
was a city
ambulance (I hope), those independent ambulance companies have a
nasty habit
of changing their names every time they have an accident.
They claim they
transferred all their assets 2 weeks ago, and declare
bankruptcy, which gets
you a dime on a dollar of what they owe you, since
their insurance is
inadequate, etc, etc... It's been a big scam in that
business (and
independent cab and bus companies) for years. Get a pro
working on it
pronto.
My deepest goes out to you,
bro...

up
Hey Guys,

I found out where I could get a test pipe for my 93
Stealth TT and I
inadvertently deleted the group I was keeping the
information in.
Anyone that can direct me to a TEST PIPE, I would be most
appreciative.
Thanks,
Bob

Total unadulterated BUMBER!!!
Just when I
was saying: "as long as you don't put it in the classified's".
Bob's
advise sounds like really good advise...and since these cars become scarcer on
a
daily basis (yours being a very sad example) insist on a replacement, not
on a payout.
I'm really sorry to hear this dude...you handled it better
than me.

Re: Team3S: Crankshaft pulley
Ryan,
I know you are
chroming for show purposes, but you might want to consider an
underdrive
pulley from Unorthodox racing. It will probably cost a little more,
but it
is aluminum and you can get it color anodized.

Re: Team3S: My car is DEAD!
My deepest condolences at the recent disaster
to your treasured toy. I can't
begin to know how you feel. I'm glad you were
physically injured, but I
suspect the mental injury, will no doubt, take
longer to heal.

Barry...
I believe there's already a front aftermarket precat
available for $125. If we can get a set for under $300
(the back is more
complex) you can count me in!!!
Looking forward...Chris
