Yes, Matt (and the website) is correct

This are the figures I'm using :

14,50377377 psi
1,00 kg/cm2 = 0,980665 bar = 14,22334331 psi

Summary: Re: Team3S: FrontWheelDrive: Taking off tooQuickly In
1st?WHEEL-HOP
Thanks Bob and all for the help on the
"wheel-hop". The car seems real
"new"
mechanically, I inflated the car to specks a couple of months ago (I
should
probably check them again), the lug nuts are tight and I would say
it only
has 64000 original miles. I am hard on cars, that is true, and
it
may be having it's noticeable toe with my excessive quick starts, I'll
just
have to chill and I may get another 10-20000 miles on the struts
or
whatever other front-end parts that are loosening up. I will
inspect the
front-end parts (motor mounts too) for signs of wear, etc.
and maybe take
it in if things look questionable or get worse. If
anyone sees better
alternatives to this "solution", please let me
know.
As for the archives, my emailer apparently
automatically extracts the
archive files because they do not show up as true
ZIP files when I bring up
my email. Of course I know I can search these
entire files with any text
editor and it does help to have them by month, but
for some reason these
retrieved zip files and the digest version coming to me
each day does not
have the "table of contents" at the beginning of
the digest file. The
Buick turbo list offers an additional INDEX file
of all Subject lines and
email dates stripped off from every email from the
history of the list.
This ZIP file (updated monthly) could be brought over to
our pcs from the
archives area and used in a text editor to search for the
subjects/dates so
that we would know which archive to retrieve the key
subject of interest
from. I suggested this and some other things months
ago when someone posed
the question of ideas for FAQS, etc. and would be glad
to dig it up. In
fact, I am thinking maybe this is not pertient info to
everybody on the
list Bob, because I believe it was requested then too that I
email him
directly. So, I apologize again if I have rambled
on. Hope that helps
clarify.

If you're in a hurry at the times you

Excuse me? "You

like
you. The Team3S Admins (with assistance from other member
volunteers,
notably an Herculean effort by Gavin Wallis) have been
putting together a FAQ
section for our upcoming new website for the
better part of 6 months.
Perhaps the FAQ would happen faster if you
would care to volunteer?
:-)
The archives have been available since "day 1". They
are (and have
always been) searchable by keyword, explained on the Archive
Page...

Team3S: Carbon Fibre (precautions)
That Bozz speed hood looks pretty
cool. I will assume the vents up top are
functional, but only really work for
the front turbo area. A way to cool
down the rear turbo's heat would be nice
too!
About the primer on carbon fiber. THIS IS NECESSARY to the best of
my
knowledge. I have done quite a bit of fiberglass work on my other cars,
and
up until about 2 years ago, there wasn't a commercially
available
gelcoat/topcoat that lasted more than a year or two under UV
radiation.
What does this mean? Well from what I know, the top layer in a
carbon fiber
construction is a high quality epoxy type material. Then you lay
the fiber
material down with regular epoxy as the "adhesive". If
the top surface is
exposed to the sun (UV), it starts to break down the
molecular structure
that makes it what it is. It will loose luster, turn
yellow, have little
cracks, and soon start delaminating.
The only way
I know of to protect carbon fiber from this unfortunate
situation is to prime
and paint it just like any other material (except for
SS :). I know this
pisses people off, but don't say I didn't warn you! :)
I COULD be wrong,
maybe they do have a UV proof topcoat now, in that case,
just read the first
paragraph, and skip the rest (oops too late :)

Your emailer is a proprietary in-line
business variety, and as such,
it will do what the MIS guys at your company,
Statoil, tell it to
do... So we have no control there. But it's
probably equally
clumsy for the rest of us with other browsers & email
clients. We
currently have no control over what our Majordomo software
does when
it saves our archives. There are no choices, so I don't
follow what
you don't understand. As I've said before, when we were a
small
list, it was possible to play with them and save them in a
slightly
different format, but now it's automatic. Suggesting that we
need
an index is suggesting that 'someone else' make one!?
That Buick
drivers have a certain kind of archive is irrelevant, and
academic, for our
purposes. We all know that there are better ways
to do everything, but
until some member with copious free time steps
up and says, "I'll do
it", and chooses to invest their personal time
on such a project,
nothing changes. BTW... It's also a pretty good
bet that there
are a lot fewer professionals on some Buick list than
there are at
Team3S. Many folks on this list who drive Stealths and
3000GTs are
business leaders (present or future), executives,
self-employed, supertechs,
etc, with a minimum of free time...
Could it be that Buick drivers have more
free time? :-) Except for
the Grand Nationals, I personally don't
even know anyone who drives
a Buick... or why... ;-)
To
finish answering your question... I still don't know all the
details,
but we'll be moving the Team3S list, and our (old AND new)
Web Pages
(including FAQ) to a faster, better server by the end of
the year. We
will still be using the best software out there (which
happens to be
Majordomo), but from what I understand, we will
probably have a more
Web-based archive, possibly of the variety that
you prefer. And
hopefully with an interface that's easier for all
of us to use for
searches. And it's going to happen because one of
the
Team3S
members, Jeff Mohler, stepped up and offered his expertise
and his resources
to give us a better medium through which we can
share information. And
if we still need an index list with the new
setup, we would be happy to
accept you as a volunteer to make one
up! :-)
Anyone with
non-tecnical suggestions or comments should reply
privately,
please...
Best,
Forrest
