Subject: Team3S: Rim question

I believe that I am FINALLY getting around to buying new rims for my 91
Stealth TT.  I will definitely go with 18 inch (maybe 3 piece wheel), but it
has been suggested to me that I get 18 x 8.5 or 18 x 9.0 in the front and 18
x 10 in the rear.  Is this advisable?

The info is specific to the 5-speed non-turbo trannies, however I'm not
going to say that nuts can't back off shafts in the AWD trannies...

Subject: Team3S: A/C Problems

I've been having problems lately w/ my Air Conditioner.  Here are some
symptoms, and hopefully someone will be able to help me out.

1.) Sometimes when I accelerate and my A/C is on, and I get to high RPM's,
something squeels..  I know the it is a belt squeeling, but I don't know
what it's for or if this is a problem.

2.)  Today was the first time I noticed this..  I was at Boston Market in
the drive through line, just idling with the A/C on high.  I started to hear
a clicking sound....like and old clock that goes "Tick", "Tock", "Tick",
"Tock".. It sounds like it's coming from the front left side of the engine..

Please help me out..

Thanks

Subject: Re: Team3S: A/C Problems

was going to post today about the same thing, so any answers please also
send them my way.  I just had the a/c condensor and evaporator replaced last
week so if blame can fall on the people that fixed it, let me know so I can
get that paid for as well.
as to my previous post about 1/4 mile times.  replaced all the plugs, wires
and a few broken vacuum lines and ran a 14.2 at 99mph, so I know that helped
alot.  Where is the best place to order a K&N filter charger system.  I
don't want one that fits in the stock box, but a cone filter.  Also who
gives the best prices.
Thanks,
Gabe Estrada

Subject: Re: Team3S: Rim question

Hey Mike

    I personally got 18 x 9.0 all around. I've got the Blitz Techno Z1 and the reason is
that it's perfectly wide and making them all the same width makes it easy to rotate
tires. Also stock has them all the same so it might be advisable to follow what the
factory has. Also 18 x 10 in the rear is gonna stick out of the fenders a little and
definatly stick out alot in the front. You don't want to look like a low rider do ya. =)

18 x 9.0 are good for 275/40/18. But that is really stretching it. 265 is a good in
between.

Hi Michael,

    No the lug nuts aren't exposed there are recessed spaces in the rim where
the lug nuts hide. You can see them but they don't stick out. =)

What offset do your 18x9.0s have?

I unplugged the ECS control unit in the passenger side luggage area and the
light went out ---- no side effects noticed. The schematic shows lots
of inputs with the shocks as the only output so it should not cause a problem.

Subject: Re: Team3S: A/C Problems

I think what your talking about is the screws around the AC compressor/clutch
pulley, i was hearing the same noise and i took it to the dealer and they
wanted 1500.00 for the fix( said i had to replace the a/c
compressor,dryer,freon....etc)...So I went to get a second opinion and the
guy said yeah i can fix it for 200.00, what he did was remove the compressor
(not easy, you have to get it from underneath) and then take it to a machine
shop move the holes 50% clockwise, drill and retap the holes, and make sure
you buy new screws,( he got them from the dealer)

Good Luck
