Steve's right. When I go open tracking, I
frequently forget to put the ECS
into sport mode, but it doesn't seem to make
a difference, because it
switches into in automatically. At least it seems
like it does. I can't
tell the difference in lap times.

This problem has come up in the past before, and I think it
was
related to the clutch pedal height being incorrently set up...
or
maybe it was the clutch free play. Someone on this list
should
remember more about it.
I can't say for sure this is your
problem, but it wouldn't hurt to
have these things checked out (and it might
be a good idea to
get a second opinion from another service shop which did
not
do the install).

Team3S: stuff for sale
Well, my last post (tho I haven't been active on
this list)
Car is gone, so here's some extra stuff someone may be interested
in.
Everything is plus shipping, and all is negotiable. If you live
close
to Richmond, VA, I'll meet you.
92 VR4 Factory wheels - NOT
mint. Some wheels better than others. Could
be good for snow, or spare,
track? $600
Wolf Car Cover - Evolution 3 fitted w/ storage
bag. I know this will
fit 1st gen vr4, prolly all 1st gen.
Someone who knows dimensions
better may know if it would work on 2nd
gen. $40
CoverCraft Sunshade - custom cut for 1st gen front
windshield. $20
Factory in-dash radio. This is the double DIN
single cd, cassette
headunit. Was working when I pulled it out 3 years
ago. $30
I also have some odds and ends like factory air box, space
saver spare
and jack, and all those plastic bins that go in the trunk.
Make me an
offer if you're interested at all, 'cause it'll go to the trash
heap
otherwise.
Its been a fun ride guys!

Team3S: Brake fluids
Soon, I will be installing Brembo Big Red calipers
from a Porsche Turbo and
new stainless steel lines on my Mitsu. Since the
entire system will drained
of fluid anyway, I thought it might be a suitable
time to change over to a
better brake fluid than what I am using now (Racer's
Blue)
Question 1: What's the best brake fluid to put in for open
tracking? Why?
Question 2: Racer's Blue is non-synthetic and Motul is
synthetic, so I
can't mix them, right? I have a pint of both hanging
around the garage,
but not enough of either to do a complete change. Hate to
see it go to waste.
Question 3: Any drawbacks to using full-race fluid
other than cost? I know
there's some fluid out there that costs a zillion
dollars a pint but, with
my luck, it probably leaks like a
sieve.
Question 4: Is there a proper sequence for doing a complete brake
fluid
change? Especially if I go to synthetic? Last time, we just drained out
the
old stuff and poured in Racer's Blue, but that isn't synthetic.
Question 5: What's the proper pre-race procedure for brake fluid?
We've
been bleeding the brakes before every event. We bleed 'em until the
burnt
black fluid stops and fresh blue starts, and then top off with
fresh
Racer's Blue. You guys don't want me to replace ALL the fluid before
every
event, do you?
All advice welcome

Brake fluids
I read this tip someplace, not sure where. When changing
fluid use a different
color, e.g. blue when the existing is clear, that way
you can tell when the fluid
is flushed.
If you'r going to flush regularly
then any good high boiling point fluid should work.

Subject: Team3S: active
exhaust control servo
I'd like to make a request of anyone who has
upgraded their exhaust system
and taken out the stock active exhaust control
servo. If you feel like
giving this servo motor to a charity
"project," I'd really appreciate it.
I'm willing to pay for
shipping and as little as possible for the motor (i'm
cheap).. so please, if
you've removed the stock exhaust and have the servo
just lying around doing
nothing, i'd love to take it off your hands, just
send it my way! Please
respond privately to
ojm@iname.comThanks
guys!

Trany Question F-Up
Hi there:
Thank you, all for the reply of my
message. The information you guys gave me
make me think that the particular
problem will make our cars to loose their
values very fast and soon or later
are going to be collectable items only
for the junk yards! And just thinking
loud: We are thinking for mods and
increasing the power of the motors,
without to have a reliable trany we
can't have our 400+ HP at the
street...
I am an importer (not cars industry) and I have experience of US-
European
trade. Also I am not in the US mainland but in Puerto Rico. I do not
if the
agreements they have are covering my island but if not obviously I
could
import parts and ship them UPS to the mainland! I sent an e mail to
the
sales Mgr of Getrag in Germany telling him that I am interesting to
become a
Getrag distributor for PR. I will keep you posted next week if
I have some
reactions. At the meantime Jack Tertadian tell me if I can get a
3rd gear
synchronizer from the Metric guys? Do they have it available? How
can I
contact them?
Gentleman I think this is a problem that has to be
solved NOW. We all are
going to need trany parts soon or later. Did all of
you (no matter if you
have them) are able to pay $3-5k for a simple trany
problem?
