Subject: Team3S: Final Word on the "Happy99" VIRUS...

Here's everything you need to know about the "Happy99" Virus (or 'Worm').

Please, take any other posts about it private--  it is illegal to post them
to the list...

From our rules...:
"05. ----------snip----------
 Anyone who posts a virus warning to the list will be banned permanently
without warning."

This post contains:
1.  How to check if you have been "infected".
2.  How to fix it.
3.  How to find out who else you may have infected.


*******How to remove Happy99.exe 'Worm' Virus *******

You can remove this Trojan manually from your computer.
To do that, first check the WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder for the presence of these
files.

1. SKA.EXE
2. SKA.DLL
3. WSOCK32.SKA

If you find these files then you have been attacked by the Happy99 Trojan.
To remove this Trojan do the following:

1. Delete SKA.EXE, SKA.DLL and WSOCK32.DLL
2. Rename WSOCK32.SKA as WSOCK32.DLL

Make sure that you have WSOCK32.SKA file before deleting WSOCK32.DLL and
ensure that you have renamed this file properly. You may have to close your
Browser, Email software, etc. to delete and rename the DLL files.

(Note: If you have Internet Explorer integrated Windows,
you may have to do it in ms-dos mode):

1. Shut down windows with the RESTART IN MS-DOS MODE option.

2. At the prompt type the bold text.
C:\WINDOWS>cd system

3. Next prompt and command:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM>del wsock32.dll

4. And finally:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM>ren wsock32.ska wsock32.dll
Then restart your computer.


Open the file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\liste.ska in your NOTEPAD to see a list of
who you may have infected with the Happy99 worm virus.)

Subject: Team3S: Cleaning Under The Hood

Hello to all:

I have heard many things about being really careful when cleaning the
engine, relative to the timing belt.  The dealer wants $35 to provide
this service.  I inquired with one mechanic as to what exactly they do
that is so unique for this fee.  He indicated it was a "special
chemical."  Would anyone know what I could use to clean under the hood,
without creating problems now or in the future?

Thanks, and regards,

Scott

Subject: Team3S: VR-4 Drivetrain...

Would it be possible to stick the VR-4 Engine and Drivetrain into a
Mitsubishi Mini-van.  The reason I ask is that a friend of mine owned a
93 VR-4, he totalled it.  The engine and Drivetrain is intact, and the
insurance only wants $800 to keep the car.  His brother in law has 92'
Mitsu. Expo Minivan.  I think its AWD.  Same engine as the SL or base.
He blew the engine and is completely overjoyed at the concept of the
conversion, especially since the new engine is $2k, and the salvage GT
is $800.  What do you guys think.  Will it work?  If anyone wants this
VR'4 lemme know.  The entire, and I mean entire extrerior is trashed.
Apparently he parked under the edge of a roof and where construction was
taking place, and buch of metal crap rolled off the roof onto the GT,
and destroyed almost every single body panel, all the windows,  and
ruined the back seat, and door panels.  Isn't funny all the weird ways
people wreck their cars?

Subject: Re: Team3S: Cleaning Under The Hood

I don't know specifics, but I'd heard that before about "special" (non-H20)
engine cleaners being safe.  I've also heard a number of horror stories
about steam cleaning our engines--  seems that the steam gets into a number
of our sub-systems and trashes them pretty thoroughly.  If the delivery
system for your dealer's "special chemical" is steam, DON'T do it.

Subject: Team3S: AVC-R learning

Sunday I'm going to the dragstrip with the rest of Minnesota 3/S.  Tomorrow
I plan on installing the Super AVC-R.  I've re-read older posts and have no
doubt the install will go fine.  I guess there are two points that stand out
from previous posts - Don't quit halfway, or it won't work, and don't mount
the solenoid on the firewall.

My question has to do with the learning.  I'm not sure of the best way
fastest way to let the BC learn.  It seems you do a few runs in different
gears, is that it?  What gears?  I will want to go slow and safe to begin
with.  After that, is it advisable to disconnect things to "erase" the
memory, and then let it learn under higher boost conditions, or will the BC
adjust as I apply the leadfoot??

Thanks for any help!

Subject: RE: Team3S: AVC-R learning

Set the boost to 1.0.  Set the BADC to around 66-68.  Go for a romp.  These
should be full throttle runs revving out as far as you can.  You want to
build as much boost as possible and hold it for as long as possible.  Get
going in 1st gear and shift to 2nd around 3500-4000 then throttle to the
floor through 2nd and 3rd.  If the controller doesn't learn the boost will
not stabilize.  If the BADC is too low you may not achieve your desired
boost.  If that happens increase the BADC by 4% or so and repeat.  If you
overshoot then reduce the BADC and repeat the runs.  Keep doing this until
it learns.  Shouldn't take long.  Once you get the hang of it you can
retrain it in one run.

In the rare case that IDC exceeds 90% during learning the AVC-R won't learn.
In this case reduce the boost a little bit and try again.

Have fun.

Subject: Team3S: HKS SBOV install on 2nd gen

Anyone have any pointers on how to best install the HKS SBOV on a 2nd gen?
I bought it used and got no directions.  I have a K&N FIPK installed,
otherwise pretty much stock under the hood.  I have the hard pipe that comes
with the BOV, but if I use it won't it interfere with my 6sp tranny?

Thanks all for the great help I've received, and special thanks to Barry for
a very quick reply to my previous post!

I think it is the old one you are speaking about (the same I have). If so then
the hard pipe is not compatible and you cannot mount it (as you already found
out). One chance is that you cut the top part of the pipe where the BOV sits on
and use a shorter rubber hose from the y-pipe to connect them together. The BOV
will then sit closely to the battery (like the most others). The other way would
be to find an exact flange that fits the BOV but this is not that easy and leaks
may occur.

Hope this helps a little,

Subject: Team3S: Basic brake upgrade

Recently I had my car on a track on a club day & after 20-30 fairly
heavy laps my brakes gave up & cooked the rotors, pads & fluid.....very
expensive day.
I've machined the rotors & replaced the pads with stock pads ( I had to
get the car back on the road fairly quick so I didnt have time to work
out what to upgrade to ) & the brakes are now fine.
My question is , can I just use high performance pads & fluid with out
having to buy better rotors for "occasional" track days? Has anybody had
experiences with using upgraded pads & fluids on tracks with the
standard rotors? I realise brake fad will be an issue with standard
rotors which doesnt worry me that much, I really just want to be able to
go out on the track once in a while , have a bit of a blast , & not have
to get the whole braking system overhauled when I'm finished.
Thanks
