Team3S: DBAsport rotors????
Has anyone looked at the new DBAsport rotors
for our cars? They are both
drilled and slotted. They seem pretty
nice. Just curious if anyone knows
anything about them. I am
trying to get some prices of them.

Team3S: RPS Turbo Clutch Carbon
I got my car back with the new clutch (GP
RPS Turbo Carbon) and new
warrantied
transmission on Friday. First
thing I did was stall the car, I always seem
to
do that with a new
clutch. I immediately jumped in the car and headed to
Panama City
Beach. Here's a list of my observations on the trip.
1. To my
surprise, the clutch requires about 20-30% LESS force than
the
stock
clutch
2. When either slowly or only
partially engaging the clutch (like when
you're
inching
forward in traffic), it tends to jump and jerk around,
rather
than
smoothly applying power. My old
Integra used to do this, so I figure
it's
normal and
just a result of the materials it's made out of.
3. The clutch catches
a lot quicker than the factory. If you
don't
rev-match
properly, you get one hell of a case of
whip-lash.
Overall I'm happy with the clutch. I haven't tried any
launches, as I want
to
let it break in first. Is breaking in
necessary with these?
Michael
BTW: I'm heading up to Nashville
tonight for the week, if anyone can
recommend
some good roads to drive on while I'm up there, or just want to
get
together and talk cars, drop me a
line.

He didn't actually _replace_ any
_LEDs_ as much as he added them... stock all of the
"amber" lights are simply
white lights w/ rubber coverings. What he did was go in there,
remove the
lights, add resistors to the + side of the LEDs and fit them in.. best
thing
to do is know which wires are + and - and solder an LED to 'em (with
the resistor on the
+ side). The passenger side buttons are the _same_
buttons as the driver side, so all
you'll need to do is find some +/- wires
controlled via the light settings (parking
lights setting) and drill some
holes... it's complicated in a sense... sorry I don't
have the URL.

Yes!!, Break in is necessary. 4-500 miles very low

load, and no slipping of the
clutch.

I've been shifting
with low power, but once the clutch is engaged, I've been
giving it full
throttle. Should I quit doing that? What are the effects if
you
don't break it in properly?

Subject: RE: Team3S:
RPS Turbo Clutch Carbon
Not according to Rob Smith. Supposedly the
carbon kevlar composite clutches
do not require the same breakin method as
resin bound fiber clutches.
My specific question to him was "Can I take
this directly to the track and
have it work as expected?" to which he
responded "No problem". I would
think this would NOT be true for
fiber/resin clucthes.

Subject: RE: Team3S:
RPS Turbo Clutch Carbon
The point of breaking in a cluch is not unlike
bedding in brake pads. The
binding resins need to cure and emerge to
the surface which requires heat.
As the material cures some of these resins
escape and burn off. Babying the
clutch is typically not recommended so
it sounds like you are doing just
fine. If the clutch is babied, it
will only get a little bit hot, usually
hot enough to cause glazing but not
allow the resins to actually burn off.
Slipping the clutch is typically not a
great idea anyway. Proper engagement
with spirited but not abusive
driving should allow your clutch to last a
long time and take more abuse
later on.
The authorative answer should come from the manufacturer since
it is they
with whom you must deal in the unlikely event of premature
failure. So if
they say something different, follow their instructions,
not a dealer, not
me nor anyone else unless they agree to pay for the clutch
if it falls apart
2000 miles from now ;).

No, the time is
calculated by the amount of pressure or vacuum read over the
whole time the
car runned. This is the only "true" Turbo Timer and work damn
good
:)
The purple wire is needed to sense the handbrake signal. Just run the
car,
switch of the ign. key and do not connect the purple wire to anything.
The timer
will stop immediatly. Now do the same and make contact to the
chassis and the
timer will count down until it stops the engine. Use a
voltmeter to find out
what wire it has to be attached to at the handbrake
switch. It must show 0 volts
when the handbarke is on and something else when
off. This should work then for
you. You can test this by just sliding the
purple wire into the boot of the
other one and see how it works. Finally just
splice into the wire and the thing
works.
Hope this
helps,
Roger

Subject: RE:

Actually, since Arty has a '91,
he may very well be able to find a 16" that
fits over the front calipers.
Note the key word MAY... But I'm pretty sure a
16" without any interior
bulges will fit over the smaller older calipers.
Arty:
Stock offset is
46mm on all of our wheels. You will want something slightly
LOWER than this
to push the wheels outboard to prevent rubbing. How much
lower depends on how
wide a tire you're going to run. Reducing the offset by
half the increase in
width of the tire will keep the inner sidewall of the
tire in teh same
location...
