Re: Team3S: [Fwd: 92 Dodge Stealth R/T twin turbo]
Two things that did
this to me on other cars.
1. Cracked or dirty ignition part, heat makes
the part expand and
ground out.
2. A pinched wire to the fuel or
ignition drove me nuts for 11 months.
It was intermittent and I went over the
whole car, I thought, checking
components. Sold the car and the guy found a
cracked wire for the fuel
pump.

Team3S: Porterfield brake pads (another try)
Ok, I have not gotten any
answer on my question about any source where to get
the Porterfield pads. I
finally got to their web site and I maybe have to order
them by
phone.
Now they have three types and I'd like to know what the
experiences are with R4,
R4S or R4E are.
Thnaks,

Roger,
The R4S is their street compound and works well at
lower temperatures.
The R4 is their standard race compound and takes some
heat in them before
they start to grab.
The R4E is their Endurance racing
compound and takes quite a bit of heat
before they will start to
work.
If this is for street use, I would recommend the R4S (baked of
course) The
Porterfields tend to "dust" quite a bit and will leave your
wheels black
but for the stopping power, they cannot be beat.
The
other two compounds I would only recommend for track use since they do
not
stop too well without first getting some heat in the pads.
BTW, the only
source I ever have found for Porterfields is directly from
them or maybe from
www.racerwholesale.com
but I
think they are a standard price but well worth it.

Actually, the R4 carbon
kevlar race pads do not need heating up for
stopping. They actually work
pretty well on the streets, rotor friendly
too, but the only thing is they
wear like butter! Also, kinda sqeeky..
like the city bus.. They are the only
pads I use on the track; never
has any fadding problem with them.. great pads
IMO...
I have no experience with the R4e...
I use the R4s on the
streets.. good pad for daily driving.. lasts
pretty long.. and
quiet...
And Roger, you can order direct from them, why would you look
for other
dealers?
