Hi Joshua;
It depends how hard you are on
your clutch/what you use it for. I know individuals with
the same
setup/similar setup to yours, who opt for the stock clutch as a replacement,
as
it is more forgiving and more accomodating on a daily driver basis. On the
other hand, a
whole gambit of race oriented clutches are available. I, and a
number of use within Team
3S, just finished with a group purchase for a
new carbon fiber clutch, but it is still
too early for any of us to give
feedback. Most, if not all of us, have not received
it
yet.

Ahmed;
In
response to your questions;
1). I haven't heard of anyone installing
another breed of tranny in our vehicles,
although a 3S in South America
appears to likely have some kind of unusual setup which
has not been thus far
described in any literature I have read.( I believe a picture of
it is at
Todd's site.) Just upgrading from 1st to 2nd generation trannies is
expensive
and time consuming, so I would expect a hybrid project ( possibly
like the South
American) might be a long expensive undertaking.
2-3) No
one has posted any phone number, and Jack's interaction with an unnamed
source
for the one time synchro order he so generously undertook, is likely
not to be ever
disclosed for reasons of confidentiality.
4-6) I believe
Brad (Bedell) has upgraded from a first to second
generation
transmission and his posts on it should be in our archives. There
are likely others as
well, but as he has a small business which devotes
itself in part to 3S vehicles, you
might want to contact
him.
Good luck and post back on your
success.

do they do this? Is there anyway to do this to the

Re: Team3S: Best clutch??
Joshua,
With that setup,
you are looking at either a stock ($300?) or a Centerforce Dual
Friction
($500 from NOPI). The stock clutch is cheaper, and does not really have
a
break in period. I personally believe it can take the abuse of a 5000
RPM dump a lot
better than others. The Centerforce clutch is a little
more expensive, but the clutch
feel is lighter. Also, it is more of an
on/off engagement than the stock clutch.
However, because of this, it does
not handle high RPM DUMPS very well. People who use
this clutch
successfully have learned to let the clutch out easily till it
slightly
engages then as the car JUST starts moving you fully release the
clutch. I believe this
technic and the Centerforce clutch will give you
faster times. However, the biggest
problem with the Centerforce is that
it requires a 500 mile city driving break-in
period. This is a
must. If it is not done and you do a launch before the clutch
material
has been able to cure properly, you will ruin the clutch.
Hope this
helps,
Mike C.

They
use a liquid cristal screen that visibility is controlled by the
voltage
given. Just look at any LCD screen and change the contrast on it.
This is the
same technique used on the rearview mirrors.

No way to do this with LCD
technique. But there is also a paint in development
that can change its color
by applying some voltage. This should then also work
on windows and some
prototyps have been tested in offices to work like
sunshades. Well, the price
is very high and I think not worth thinking about it
as it is still not in
production.

Subject: Re:
Team3S: Water Injection
During my investiogations about WI systems, I
also found those systems and
searched for related articles.
The
Spearco WI kit is a cheap starter kit (somewhat old) for engines with a
max
displacement of 2 liters. But even on a Celica GT four the amount of
water
delivered last only for a max boost of around 15-18psi.
The
system for the Grand National V6 is bigger and is able to deliver
more
water/alcohol but also here boost seems to be limited due to the pumps
power
that is supported by the boost produced by the turbos. Also the water
sprayed in
is not that fine as with the ERL system due to the smaller pump
and the pressure
that varies.
Unfortunately, the ERL (Aqualist) System
1 is the most expensive one as the
older "normal" pump has been discontinued
and only the race pump is available
now. But this system is the most
sophisticated one on the market and some Rally
teams trusted them with
succsess. While the other systems are using the produced
pressure from the
turbos for spraying the stuff into the upstream the ERL is
independant to
this and produces the same pattern on every boost level. This
helps to
upgrade the system with a System 2 that finally allows to tune up a
3D
water/boost/rpm map... the best you can have.
Generally, a mixture
of water/alcohol to be sprayed infront the TB gives the
best results and is
able to produce detonation stability like running with fuel
of up to 140
octane (or even more). This will allow you to increase boost to a
high level
without the danger of melting something in the chamber.
Of course, our
injectors are getting maxed out around 15psi and the fuel system
needs to be
upgraded before the WI system can be added.
The water reservoir for the
windshield washer can be used for the water/alcohol
without a problem and
it's not really necessary to get another one. Our EU cars
do have an
additional water reservoir in the bumper that is used for the lamp
sprays.
I'll use this reservoir for the water as it is big enough and do have
a
sensor for a low level too (that lights up the orange lamp). The ERL pump
is
bigger than the others due to its power needed to produce an very good fog
when
pressed through the nozzle. So the biggest problem is where to place the
pump in
the engine compartment (I just found a way) and where to install the
nozzle
(still not solved on our cars)
On my car the ERL System 1 (or
system 2 directly) will be installed as soon as
the fuel upgrades found their
way into their locations. Unfortunately, this
takes more time as expected and
I have to show the car to the gov. pretty soon
too (without any mods....don't
ask).

Team3S: battery warning light
Tonight, on the way home from work, I
noticied something flickering on my
dashboard as I went through the
turns. I kept my eye on it, and I finally
decided it was a picture of
a battery.
The battery warning light goes on when I go through
turns. It doesn't stay
on, it only flickers and stays on for a second
at the most. It happened to
me during every turn I went through, and
this is the first time I've seen it
come on. I looked at the voltage
indicator on the dash on the far right,
and it looked normal. It said it was
at 14V. Could a cable be loose? I
have tried to jumpstart
someone within the past couple of months. Would
that have done
this?
Please help me.. Do I need to get a new battery??
Should I take it into
Trak Auto or PepBoys and have them check it
out??
Thanks for any and all
help...

If it's over on the right side, near the bottom,
and is yellow, then
it's your coolant ondicator light. fill up the overflow
tank to correct
the problem. It could also be the windshield washer
reservoir. Fill both
up, and it should correct the
problem.

Was it orange or
red? In the center of the console or to
the right... I ask
because the symptoms sound like your
washer fluid level. Have a look at
item "G" at this site
http://beam.to/GTO_Manual to determine if
it is indeed the
washer fluid.

Hmm... I do not have one of these in my GTO, I assume
that
this is a Stealth? If it is not the washer fluid then you
will
need to check all terminals, etc...

Are you sure it's the battery light?? What
you're describing happens
often if the coolant is a little low. As you go
around the corner, the
marginally low coolant sloshes to one side and gives a
very brief
coolant light. The light is the strangest looking coolant symbol
I've
ever seen.

Re: Team3S: battery warning light
Chances are it's the Parthanon (sp?)
looking icon (looks like a Greek
building) it's the coolant light.
Mine's been going on and off for the last
month or so even though the coolant
is a nice green and filled to the fill
line. There's no way this light
goes off somehow knowing that the fluid is
2 years old is there? I've
heard that there is a sender unit that often
fails causing this
problem...
