<< hey

>>
My first experience with state farm took place
several months after getting
my drivers license at age 17. I was covered
under my parents auto policy, and
after 2 tickets -(one speeding (supposedly
not on my record due to traffic
school) and one reckless driving ( I though
the idea WAS to drive wreckless) -
they sent my folks a letter of
cancellation pending unless I was removed from
the policy. The tickets were
about 2 months apart - they did'nt raise the
rates first or send any notices
- it was cancellation right now.
I have since aged a bit and
have a clean record, and State Farm has never
been able to compete with the
other carriers on price. I am currently with
Allstate and pay $800 for
full coverage on my '91 3000GT SL and '97 Ranger
pick up.
One more note - Allstate has a couple of features I like - such as paying
the
bill by phone and Visa, and during 10 months out of the year, they give
you
30 days leeway on making the payments without penalty.

Hi Jeff

The contrast is interesting --- I've only had three dealings with
Fusz in the
5 years since I got my first Eclipse, and just had the 3000 in
there yesterday
for some minor stuff -- it's funny as soon as I got home from
picking it up,
I checked my email and there was your message -- anyway, I've
been
pleased with their service. About two years ago, the silver paint on
the roof,
hood and trunk deck of my '93 Eclipse began to checker -- I took it
to Fusz,
they looked at it and set up an appointment the next time the
district manager
was there, he looked at it and they gave me what amounted to
about a $1000
paint job for nothing --- and it was a good one too ---
I have no personal interest in Fusz in any way, but on that situation I
was
a happy customer. Of course the next time may be totally different.

SWEDISH DYNOTEST (long)
Hi Team3S members,
I had my car on a DYNO
yesterday and let's say that I'm a little disappointed and confused.
I
haven't scanned the charts yet. The dyno is a MAHA/Sun electric company dyno.
Interesting for you guys to know is that Sun electric company is a US company.
This is the same brand of dyno that Jim, Mike and Roger tested their cars
on.
I have much lower values than Roger and the others. :( and when I say
lower I mean lower on ALL values.
P-norm 228,6 kw (DIN 70020)
P-eng
241,0 kw
P-wheel 163
P-loss 78kw
Max kw 4970 rpm
Torque
450NM at 3140 rpm
Top speed 188
Max RPM 5130
My boost was 0.9
-0.95 all the time and the NM curve was almost 450 from very low rpm's all
the way up to 5000.
My max NM was 2000 rpm's lower that Jim's !!!!!!!
So the question now is: What can be wrong with my car?
Mitsu
3000GT 93 50K miles
Original 9B turbos
HKS supermega flow
Blitz DSBC
set at 1.0 -1
Magnecor 8,5 and NGK plugs (~0.32)
Original
precats
Complete ATR exhaust with cat and DP
The car runs good and
have no problems with missfires or something like that atleast not that I can
feel. I have no problems doing under 5 sec to 100km/h on the Gtech (4.41
personal best).
First I thought that I have an airflow problem because my
CO was 11.7 at peak HP and Lambda 0.761. So I can add more air without any
problem.
Do I have a flow problem with my HKS filter? If I had bad
airflow, should I be able to hold .95 bar thru the whole rpm range?
Bad
turbos? I have no oil in intake and no bad sounds from the turbos and the boost
is building fast and no problem to hold boost.
I know that I don't have
a missreaded boost value because I measured boost at three different gauges and
locations and all indicated almost exact the same values.
I guess that
the boost should not build up if I had a restriction on the intake side.
Right?? So I think it's more likely that I have problems on the exhaust
side.
Other things I check is:
- -Is the timing belt (cam
position) installet correctly? (Mitsu changed my belt a few weeks ago)
-
-Are the precats clogged? (I gut those babies this weekend)
- -
Compression test will be performed. Anyone knows what value it's supposed to be
if everything is OK??
My hope is now on you guys to help me with tons of
suggestions about where I can find my 50 lost ponies :)
The good thing is
that the guy with the dyno felt a little sorry for my so he will let me test the
car again for 15$ when I think I have found the problem :)

confused but on a higher level"
BTW later tonight I will post the chart

Subject: Re:
Team3S: Lou Fusz Mitsubishi
Jeff,
I was absolutely floored when I
read your post. They still had my car.
I went to pick it up last night, and
all but one thing they were suppose
to do was done, and done well. The one
thing they did not do, that I had
asked to have done was change the oil. I
called them back and told Kevin
in the service dept this, and he said he
screwed up by not putting it on the
ticket when I called him, to bring the
car in Saturday,
and the oil change was on the house.
I want to know
who you were dealing with.
I have bought my last three cars from these
guys, two 3KGT's, and
my wifes 98 Regal. It really ticks me off to find out
that the same place
I have sent many friends to, to get various work done on
their cars, has
done this to you, and I will tell them how I feel about
it.
For whatever that may be worth.
I have to say though, they did the
rework on my wifes 98 Regal last
summer, after our son did $8000.00 worth of,
mostly body damage to it.
The car looks brand new, as it was before it was
used for an off road trip.
I looked my car over very carefully after reading
your post, I am totally
satisfied with the work they did. I must point out
though, even though
my car went in through the collision repair center, the
service dept did
95% of the work on it, Wheels, tires, strut, and when they
found the water
pump leaking they called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead
and do the
timing belt while they were in there.
It is not actually
possible for me to boycott these guys, both of
my cars are warrantied by
them, but I can sure let them know how I
feel about the way they treated
you.
They were even washing my car when I went to pick it up last
night.
It almost sounds like we are talking about two different
dealerships.
I am totally dismayed by this.

Hi Peter, yes. This works but I'm not to thrilled about the way
the injectors
get mounted with this setup. I'm putting a lot of $ into the
motor & I'm
trying to keep it safe as possible to avoid any future
damage.The costs of the
alternatives Vs this setup I have not determined.
Money being a big factor,
may decide for me? I wish I could have started all
over from scratch with just
a shell. Building a street/strip car is a lot
different then a race car. To
much spent on street/strip to go full race. I
would need to change everything
all over again. I'm going to add a bit more
& be happy with a really fast
weekend/race car, still street drivable. I
have no doubt low 10's maybe hi 9's
with a top speed 200mph+. Going to do the
Bonny flats for that little gold
engine plate. Time & money will tell.
Hoping to get it back together by
summer.

I
thought hks has a dual setup for injectors where two injectors
would
sit in a single cup design??? IM not sure how well this would fit
but
looking it should work??? And then use like you said the aic from
hks to
control the other 6.

Team3S: SWEDISH DYNOTEST (long)
Hi Team3S members,
I had my car on
a DYNO yesterday and let's say that I'm a little
disappointed and
confused.
I haven't scanned the charts yet. The dyno is a MAHA/Sun
electric company
dyno. Interesting for you guys to know is that Sun electric
company is a US
company. This is the same brand of dyno that Jim, Mike and
Roger tested
their cars on.
I have much lower values than Roger and
the others. :( and when I say lower
I mean lower on ALL values.
P-norm
228,6 kw (DIN 70020)
P-eng 241,0 kw
P-wheel 163
P-loss
78kw
Max kw 4970 rpm
Torque 450NM at 3140 rpm
Top speed
188
Max RPM 5130
My boost was 0.9 -0.95 all the time and the NM
curve was almost 450 from
very low rpm's all the way up to 5000.
My
max NM was 2000 rpm's lower that Jim's !!!!!!!
So the question now
is: What can be wrong with my car?
Mitsu 3000GT 93 50K miles
Original
9B turbos
HKS supermega flow
Blitz DSBC set at 1.0 -1
Magnecor 8,5 and
NGK plugs (~0.32)
Original precats
Complete ATR exhaust with cat and
DP
The car runs good and have no problems with missfires or something
like that
atleast not that I can feel. I have no problems doing under 5 sec
to 100km/h
on the Gtech (4.41 personal best).
First I thought that I
have an airflow problem because my CO was 11.7 at
peak HP and Lambda
0.761. So I can add more air without any problem.
Do I have a flow
problem with my HKS filter? If I had bad airflow, should I
be able to hold
.95 bar thru the whole rpm range?
Bad turbos? I have no oil in intake and
no bad sounds from the turbos and
the boost is building fast and no problem
to hold boost.
I know that I don't have a missreaded boost value because
I measured boost
at three different gauges and locations and all indicated
almost exact the
same values.
I guess that the boost should not build
up if I had a restriction on the
intake side. Right?? So I think it's
more likely that I have problems on
the exhaust side.
Other things I
check is:
- -Is the timing belt (cam position) installet correctly?
(Mitsu changed my
belt a few weeks ago)
- -Are the precats clogged? (I
gut those babies this weekend)
- - Compression test will be performed.
Anyone knows what value it's supposed
to be if everything is OK??
My
hope is now on you guys to help me with tons of suggestions about where I
can
find my 50 lost ponies :)
The good thing is that the guy with the dyno
felt a little sorry for my so
he will let me test the car again for 15$ when
I think I have found the
problem :)
Mikael "Still confused but on a
higher level"
BTW later tonight I will post the chart on my web
page

Team3S: Speaking of fluids...
I just put Redline Heavy Shockproof in the
differential. Is this OK? A
buddy mentioned that limited slip
differentials are supposed to have a
friction modifier added. Anybody
know about this?
Thanks,

Team3S: "Minnesota 3/S" updates
Hey everyone,
I've made some
updates to the Minnesota 3/S website.
1) Revamped the mods
section. Each type of mod has its own page (not all
of them work
yet).
2) Added a new member and listed members modifications in the
'Minn.
Memebers' section.
3) Added more detail in the Events
section. Including a map to Rock Falls
Raceway.
4) Added
more owners links in the Links section. I think there are 48
owners
links now. WOW!
Thats all for now. Enjoy!
Thanks for
