Subject: Team3S:
Synchros
Brad,
Paul Klusman and myself both work for the same
independent engineering firm
in Lafayette IN. (Purdue Univ.), we focus
primarily on heavy industrial
mechanical equipment so I can't say we would be
the most qualified, but if
no one else shows interest we would be happy to
study the parts in question
and investigate alternatives. I can also
take and post digital pics. If
you can cover shipping here, we will
cover shipping back.
My personal feeling is that it's unlikely we would be
able to come up with a
cost effective alternative to the factory parts given
what I assume to be
few requests if we were to line up a custom fabrication
source. I still
maintain that Jack T. is our best resource if he were
able to gain access to
the factory parts. None the less, I can appreciate the
interest and would
welcome the opportunity to assist.
Regards,
Dave

Admin announcement
The administrative function of Team 3S feels obliged
to post that an
individual (herein un-named) has been banned from the list
for blatantly
violating our stated and implied rules of conduct. We take no
great
pleasure in this action, or in posting such an announcement, but we
felt
it should clear up some of the queries we have received. This was
a
regretful but united decision by all the admin, and it is line with
the
spirit of conduct we wish to maintain in Team 3S. We feel action
like
this, although regretful, will insure the quality of the forum you,
and
we, have come to expect in this peerless gathering of 3S
enthusiasts.
Darcy, admin...for all of the admin.

RE: Team3S: Attempted Theft!
> I'm off to go buy an aftermarket
alarm!
Basically the best thing is to hide as much as possible.
If
there is something that they can see and get at quickly
they will just smash
and grab (alarm or not!).
If you are going to put any "serious" gear in
your vehicle
then I would suggest putting in a good aftermarket
alarm.
There are many out there that have radar zones for a
very
reasonable price. I am not too sure what companies are
offering
at the moment, but IMO any dual radar system (to
protect as well as warn off)
with a battery backup siren
should be more than enough to protect most
vehicles.
Cheers,
Kevin Clark

Team3S: HKS EVC-II at auction
Hi!
I've put my old HKS EVC-II up
for auction on eBay.
Go to http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=60010202
to
bid on it, you do have to register first.
As far as I know, it works
fine; I replaced it after my accident with the
Apexi AVC-R mounted in the
center console instead of under the dash.
This is the one that everyone
wants because apparently there are some DIP
switches in it that can be reset
for some serious performance gains, not in
the documentation. Ask Bob Fontana
about that.
The top part of the case is cracked, and repaired with glue
and duct tape,
as my knee hit it really hard in the accident. Needless to
say, I do not
recommend putting anything under the dash where this was
mounted! And the
power button is missing. But once it is installed, you
really can't tell
what that part looks like.
The wiring is with it,
you can see in the photograph.
I set the minimum bid to only $10.00, so
go get it while it's there!

You didn't by chance keep this post
did you? I'm
afraid I went a little delete happy and killed it
and someone
is begging to read it. Thanks for the
cudo's, I thought it might be time to
remind
ourselves we drive something that that can please

Good news is I think Bob Rand
decided to sign up for a school, Panoz @
Road
Atlanta. Thought you would appreciate my story
since I got a 'little'

list. Humble pie is best served to one's
self.
Still have my sword though, but secured.
Happy

Subject: Re: Team3S:
Synchros
I just sent the following letter to Ligenfelter Engineering
(they upgrade
Corvettes, Camaros, TAs, etc.). I stumbled upon their website
through a link
from Hurst Shifter website. I got all excited when I saw an ad
for a '97
Camaro Z-28 SS with a HURST 6 speed. I wasn't sure what equipment
Hurst made -
it doesn't look like they make any transmission components, just
the gearshift
handle for both automatic and manual trannys.
Anyway, I
think we ought to send letters like this one out to all the
performance
specialty shops out there (lets be organized about this - compile
a list of
appropriate companies/individuals and send each of them ONE letter
from our
group)
Here is the letter I sent:
Dear sirs,
I am
searching for a manufacturer of transmission components (oem or
aftermarket).
I am a member of a car enthusiasts club who trade technical
information about
the Mitsubishi 3000GT and the Dodge Stealth via the
internet.
One
problem area of our cars is the synchros in the 5 and 6 speed
manual
transaxles. They tend to wear out, and unfortunately, the oem refuses
to
release individual parts for transmission repair/rebuild. Instead, anyone
who
owns one of these cars must swap out the worn transmission for a
completely
new unit at considerable cost.
After failing to get any
cooperation with the transmission manufacturer
(Getrag in Germany) or
Mitsubishi, we are now looking for a domestic
transmission manufacturer who
might be able to make and sell copies of the
synchros. We are hoping to
develop a set of prints for the needed parts, or we
may supply components
from a good transmission for duplication.
As an automotive performance
company, I'm hoping you will know someone who can
help us. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Paul Klusman

Paul;
You symbolize what this Team is really all
about. Good on Ya! I will try to restrain
myself from too much of a profile
from now on, and let you good guys do what you do
best. I just had note,
however, your use of "our", which should give everyone who
feels
the same way, a shit eatin smile!! I hope that your/our list grows in the
days
ahead, and that some manufacturer somewhere is affected by the
enthusiasum of our Team
spirit .

Team3S: Attempted Theft!.... bought an alarm...
Well I picked up an
alarm. I decided to get the high end Viper (PC 800SHF).
I was comtemplating
letting the shop do the install or if I should tackle it
myself. Well since
I'm not afraid or wiring and since I wanted to know how
the alarm was wired,
I decided to do it myself. Anyways I started out on the
project late Sunday
afternoon and I knew I wouldn't finish by the end of
daylight, but I wanted
to get the preliminary wiring done. As I had the
center console apart, I
noticed a HUGE space behind the radio. Thinking
about what I could do with
that space, a light went of in my head. How about
adding a SECOND siren
INSIDE the car! That would be really loud inside the
car and (hopefully) make
the thief decide to leave. I'm not sure if the
alarm circuitry can handle the
load of two, maybe three sirens so I will add
a relay. Also, another
brainstorm of mine is to add switches in the door
handle that will trigger
the alarm if somone tries the handle. Now, my car
has a turbo timer. I need
to bypass the shock sensor untill the turbo timer
finishes it's
countdown..... hmmm, I suppose I need to use relays to do
that. I don't have
the installation diagram for my turbo timer. Does anyone
have one? I need to
know the color code. Its a Greddy Turbo Timer. Also, for
anyone who has an
aftermarket alarm, where did they put the siren? The only
place under the
hood that I could find was underneath the fuse/relay box in
front of the air
filter. Does anyone know of another location? I want two
sirens under the
hood so if they disable one, another one is still going.
I'm also going to
add the pager option so the next time someone messes with
my car, I'll be
better prepared. Geez after reading this I feel like I'm
being overly
paranoid, but considering that someone almost got away with my
sound system,
I feel that any step that I can take will be worth it.
Anyone have any
other suggestions on how I can improve on the alarm?
Thanks
Jose

Jose,
Sounds like the only

Just in case they get away,
press button, blamo - car thiefs blown to bits.
