Subject: Team3S: tranny leak

I've recently developed a little leak from the tranny on my '91 VR4.  It
is leaking out of the side closest to the passenger wheel above the
drain plug.  It appears that some sort of plug is missing.  Has anyone
else experienced a leak from this area and is there a plug of some sort
that might be missing?

Thanks,
Ken

Subject: Team3S: 3000GT NA vs...(MODERATOR MESSAGE)

PLEASE REMEMBER :

It is the intention of this list to keep this kind of messages off from here !
Please sunscribe to the other Starnet and Dragnet lists to discuss this stuff
there.

Maybe some of the members forgot but this list was set up to discuss technical
stuff and to help people out of problems with the combined knowledge of this
group. It is impossible to keep all the noise off and we are more tolerant than
other lists and therefore some messages are not of much use for everyone. Please
always use your own brain filter when post a message :)

Thanks everyone for your help,
Roger

Subject: Team3S: Spark Plugs

 I have a 91 RT TT and have heard alot about our cars killing cheaper
spark plugs. Has anyone tried the Bosch Platinum +4 plugs and compared
them to the NGK plugs?

Also, is there anyone out there that does all their own maintenance that
wouldn't mind me calling them or lives in the Ft. Walton Beach, FL area
and asking a few questions about changing the clutch and fluids in ours
cars. E-mail me privately about calling.

Thanks

Subject: Team3S: Lights Out - Help

Gents
Maybe someone has heard of this:

The rear running lights and all the dash lights on my 92 TT Stealth blink
out intermittently. Once they're off, most of the time they stay off as I
continue to drive. After awhile, half hour or so, they may decide to come
back on.

Headlights stay on and brake lamps work while the rest are out.

Anyone have a clue?

Art;

Often fuses are partially faulty and will give an intermitten problem. They look good
but are not.  Check to insure everything's plugged in firm with the fuse and on the
appropriate connectors. Otherwise you'll be into a wiring check..look for a partially
bare wire in an area where rub/wear can occur. Hope it's the fuse or plug connector, the
latter is a hair puller.

Yes but all I got from the list was take it to a dealer!!!!

Mine is slowly streaming down the case and dripping off 2 -3 drops a
night in the garage only if I push the car hard on the way home.
Looked much worse tonight but it rained hard today so I can't tell
water from oil on the ply wood.

Subject: Team3S: Warning VIRUS Happy99

Brad, you're infected with the HAPPY99 virus.

If any of you guys clicked on it, you're infected too.

Here's how to remove it

This is a worm program, NOT a virus. This program has reportedly been
received through email spamming and USENET newsgroup posting. The file is
usually named HAPPY99.EXE in the email or article attachment.
When being executed, the program also opens a window entitled Happy
New Year 1999 !! showing a firework display to disguise its other
actions. The program copies itself as SKA.EXE and extracts a DLL that it
carries as SKA.DLL into WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. It also modifies
WSOCK32.DLL in WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and copies the original
WSOCK32.DLL into WSOCK32.SKA.
WSOCK32.DLL handles internet-connectivity in Windows 95 and 98. The
modification to WSOCK32.DLL allows the worm routine to be triggered when
a connect or send activity is detected. When such online activity occurs,
the modified code loads the worm's SKA.DLL. This SKA.DLL creates a new
email or a new article with UUENCODED HAPPY99.EXE inserted into the email
or article. It then sends this email or posts this article.
If WSOCK32.DLL is in use when the worm tries to modify it (i.e. a user is
online), the worm adds a registry entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce=SKA.EXE
The registry entry loads the worm the next time Windows start.

Removing the worm manually

delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.EXE
delete WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SKA.DLL
replace WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.DLL with WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.SKA
delete the downloaded file, usually named HAPPY99.EXE

Safe Computing
This worm and other trojan-horse type programs demonstrate the need
to practice safe computing. One should not execute any executable-file
attachment (i.e. EXE, SHS, MS Word or MS Excel file) that comes from an
email or a newsgroup article from an unknown or a untrusted source.

Subject: Team3S: Performance Shop - Mail Order

Hi guys,

remember that recent discussion about finding a good performance shop that
would do mail order ?

I'd suggest to try the following one.

SGP
110 West Helgra
Deer Park, TX 77036
Phone : 281/479-2475
Fax: 281/479-2516
WWW.SGPRacing.Com

I just visited them today, and asked them if they would be interested in the
3000GT / Stealth business, and the answer is a clear YES.

These guys can use a credit card, they KNOW how to do international
business, and even if their MAIN course is not the 3S (it's the 300 ZX TT,
and that's why I know thwm), they'd have no problem to work on any
turbocharged car.

From a personal point of view, I already ordered parts from them, and was
always pleased with their service.
And the parts required to modify my TT_Stealth will come from these guys.

I also know that a LOT of members of the www.twinturbo.net are swearing
they're the best, and they haven't got any bad report on the board....

Best

Henri
PS: Naaah, in case you wonder, I do NOT work for them , and I don't get any
special discount..:-)

Subject: Re: Team3S: wheels and tires

Well to tell you the truth I haven't really been able to boost up my car that
much.  Money and right now in between jobs.  But i tell you the best things
to do are 1.  Get or find back issues of Super Street 2. Read Sport Compact
Car 3. check out NexusMotorsports.com
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST CHILL WITH TEAM 3S.  I get the best tips and mods out
of these four things.  Also remember to shop around.  There are killer deals
out there you just gotta find them.  M&S Recycling is a "junkyard" of Mitsus'
and Sarurns.  They have good deals supposedly.  I haven't checked them out
yet.  But am planning to when I move back to Cali.  As for my ride I have 16"
ALT 180s', resonater removed, some stickers, shift nob, razo cigarette
lighter, K&N FIPK, and ALOT of ideas.  Going to get the Erubuni body kit and
racing body ($2,000) The body isn't by Erebuni but a raacing company I came
across onthe web under web search DODGE STEALTH.  You have to do somoe mad
digging but it is in there.  I ordered a mag from them 2 months ago but have
yet to receive it.  Oh well i hope this helps.
