Could someone with a stock 93 VR4 do me a favor and measure the
distance from
the top center of the wheel well's to the ground, both front
and rear. I am
trying to determine how much lower my GC setup is and I
forgot to do this
before changing the suspension.

Dave, do you mean measuring from the top center of the
outside of the
fender ?? My car is currently back to bone stock including
the stock
exhaust (it was almost 1cm higher in the rear due to the
lighweight
Borla exhaust and missing spare tires, tools, etc.) and I can
measure it
tonight (17" rims).

RE: Team3S: Springs
Bob...
I doubt that the rubber shipping
spacers, if left in, would raise the car. I
believe they would merely
restrict the amount of spring compression when you
hit a bump.
You
might be surprised at how much an inch increases the occurrence of
hitting
your exhaust on speed bumps and the lip on driveways. It would be
great to
hear from some of the RSR owners out there. Any clearance
problems?
BTW...your car (give me a ticket red) looks great, in pictures
and in
person.
Looking forward...Chris

Re: Team3S: Springs (was: anyone there?)
I wasn't originally going to get
lowering springs, but when I looked
at the pictures of our San Francisco
gathering in January (BANG'99), I
realized just how high off the ground my
car is compared to all the
other cars. Mine looks like I've got truck
stiffeners lifting the
chassis off the ground compared to the other cars in
the line-up. I
know they ship these cars with rubber spacers in the
springs (that are
supposed to be removed by the dealer before sale), but I'm
starting to
think that maybe they never took the spacers out on my car!
BTW, I
have an NT, so I don't have to worry about Active Aero
clearance.
Just from looking at the pictures, do any of you guys think a 1"
drop
will be enough for me? I don't think so... My pictures never
got put
up, since they got buried somewhere in my move, but Chris
Winkley's
and Scott Alcaide's are at:
www.bobforrest.com/Bang99CW.htm
www.bobforrest.com/Bang99SA.htm
Any
feedback would be appreciated. Mine is the '94 Red Stealth (on
the end
in several photos...).
Best,
Forrest

Subject: Team3S:
Spyder Springs and "Goose Sound"
I've noticed that most of the
aftermarket suspension springs out there say
they don't fit the Spyder.
Does anyone know what the reason is? I was
under the impression that
the suspension was identical to the coupe. Anyone
know of a company
that makes Spyder-specific springs? I'm not really
wanting to lower the
car, just make it feel a little lighter (if possible).
Oh, and about the
"goose" noise with the stock bypass valve, it is
definitely the valve doing
it. On my car, GT Alley forgot to hook up the
vacuum line to the stock
CBV (after installing Magnacore wires) and only
hooked up a line to the Blitz
blowoff valve... No goose sound, but the
stock CBV will limit boost to
only 10 psi without the vacuum hose hooked up.
Without the hose hooked up,
there isn't any incoming pressure from the
vacuum line to help hold the valve
closed. With the valve leaking back into
the intake, there was no
"goose" noise, but when I removed the Blitz valve
and reconnected the stock
hoses to the CBV, I get plenty of goose noise now.
Basically, I don't
think it is the tubes in the air intake path that make
the resonance, but
rather a "fluttering" of the valve at part throttle. I'd
personally
leave the air tubes in the intake if you are using the stock CBV
(or DSM CBV)
as they redirect the airflow towards the turbos to help keep
them spinning
and also keep the turbulent air from the CBV away from the
airflow
sensor.

Team3S: TEC warranty on 15Gs
Roger...
The folks at TEC didn't say
they "wouldn't" honor their warranty. In fact,
I'm not sure how they would
know if I was running at 1.0 bar or 1.5 bar.
They just said that running them
above 1.0 bar "regularly" (what does that
mean?) would result in premature
wear. Their warranty is only for a year, so
they'll get us in the end. TEC
said some people are sending their 15Gs in
for a rebuild every SIX months, as
a result of running high boost. Not a
good thing, as it costs a HEALTHY chunk
of change for the rebuild.
Looking forward...Chris

But if TEC says not going over 1.0 bars
you'll never get above the 415hp
mark. Does this mean TEC doesn't give any
warranty if you run higher
boost ?

There's a couple of shots of the Bee-R GTO underhood
shots at
http://www.autobuzz.com/gallery/gallery.cfm.
It's located under the
Battle of the Imports. They seem to be using a front
mount setup also.
They've eliminated the Y-pipe system.

A
FMIC normally eliminates the y-pipe. They did this very consequently
with
relocating a lot stuff providing a good way to get cold air in. It
also
seems that the ABS is removed to save weight and space. Furthermore,
the
front exhaust part looks like a nice header design and for sure they
have
some big turbos mounted in there !
What did they run and are more
close-ups available ?

Re: Team3S: Bee-R GTO
From my last knowledge of the Bee-R car, they were
utilizing the GT2835 turbos in Japan
and she was running timeslips of about
11 seconds flat. But this is what they have
accomplished in Japan. I have
also heard that they have broken transmissions in one day of
running from the
excessive launchs they make. I think they are running a Skyline GT-R
fuel
pump and their own ECU system and N-1 Style Exhaust system. This is from
what I can recall
from my contacts in Japan.
