Team3S: Changing Dashboard Indicator Light Bulbs
On my '92 VR4, the
Indicator light for the ECS "Tour" mode is not working,
and the SRS
indicator light won't go out (I've tried all the tricks). I
was
wondering how much trouble it is to get to these bulbs, and maybe just
swap
them out.

Subject: Team3S: boost
behavior
I recently had a Hallman boost controller installed in my 95
VR4. When
having the boost set at 15 psi I would get a spike to 16psi
and then it
would settle at 15 psi eventually dropping to and holding 12 psi
to redline.
My car is scheduled for a tranny inspection so I removed the
boost
controller. With the controller removed I still get boost
readings
(spike?) to 15 psi and then the boost falls off to 9 psi. Is
this normal,
or should my boost readings just hit a steady 12 psi and then
fall off to 9
psi ? The other mods are gutted cats, FIPK, and Borla
exhaust. Should I
be
concerned?
Thanks,
Len

Shootout in Dayton, Ohio!
Aaron Ruppert:

Looks
like Dave Buschur is not organizing an event this year, his letter
in the
same DSM Digest as your "Shootout in Dayton" letter...
Anyway,
I am not sure how many people would come but I'd be happy to
help you
get
a few more souls/entrants to help pay the bills and
such...we
3000GT/Stealth
people are not many in number but would be happy
to lend what support to
you that you need. We don't need much
care and feeding ;) maybe just
a 3000/Stealth class, like
Dave B had and committed to since
we're a family and all. There is no
danger we'd ever bring huge numbers
to dilute the DSM situation but we do
bring a little variety!
Anyway, here's a little support for you and if
anything I can do, let me
know.
Best will be finalizing the dates, so
people can plan on vacation time
etc; I
think that the Shootout wasn't
published much among our people years
past but if we can get schedule, that
will help.
I/we sure appreciate somebody (you) stepping up; I bet most of
us have
considered
posting a message saying "come to this track on
this day and whatever
happens, fine"
but you the man.
Maybe
you can get the rules/classes Dave used, exactly as he used them
last
year,
and just copy it so all rules are ALREADY clear--your only task is
the
track rental,
telling people, thinking about arranging for trophies
(if you want)
rather than starting
from ground ZERO and "re-inventing
the wheel". I think that duplicating
Dave's
rules and event
from last year would make it a MANAGEABLE project, one
you
can fit into
your life and not burn out :) Maybe it'd even be
SIMPLE!
"Here are the dates"
"Here are the
rules" [see LAST YEAR'S]
"Here are the hotels, get your own
deal" (or arrange one)
"See you there!"
Again,
any help I can give, let me know
Sincerely,

THE BEST OIL FOR THE TT MOTOR
I cited an independent survey and tomorrow
I can quote you from an article,
published in this months issue of a
publication most all of you may never
hear of citing Mobil 1 as the best
oil. Publication is American Iron. Were
is your independent
studies or articles? The information in the article I
cited can be
obtained from any product data sheet - you can call Redline, to
find out for
your self.
I have run Mobil since I purchased the car new in 92 and I
just flat out
have not had a bit of trouble out of my car. The only
item I have replaced,
other than the general maintenance items, is a $4.95
reverse light switch.
I have 85,000 miles on my car and she runs great.
Based upon the mods I
have I should be running some where in the 400 HP
range.
The main reason I don't reply to many posts is because I haven't
had any
problems, to relate to those who have. What really make me
wonder is why
are all those folks who run Redline have all those
problems. Now as for
something I can't substantiate - the Redline
Dealer at the local sport car
track (Summit Point) I attend told me that he
would not advise running
Redline in a street car, because it doesn't have the
detergents and
additives needed. But I didn't cite this earlier because
I didn't have
proof.
Now I suspect you had other engine problems and
that prompted you to tear
your engine apart to start with and the oil may not
have been the cause but
the result of your problem. But running Mobil
1, I haven't had any
problems, but I guess if you run a different product you
feel some reason to
defend it, so show me an independent write up, show me
where Redline is
rated the best other than in the material they
publish. I am open, but
opinion should never be confused with
facts. Show me the facts, studies and
tests.
What me
worry,
Dave Best

Re: Team3S: Shootout in Dayton, Ohio!
Damn, I'm extremely
interested. I haven't seen too many modified cars run
the 1/4. Us
Detroit 3SI members hit the track a few times a year, but I've
yet to see
anyone run 11's. Unfortunately, my car may be under the knife if
its in
the Spring or early Summer, but I'd go just to watch Jack and others
if
nothing else.
I would be interested in knowing if we would be renting the
track and only
we would be at the shootout or are we going to be running with
20 other
makes and models. If we are renting and need people, can we
invite non 3SI
people with street cars (Vettes, Supras, F-bodies, Mustangs,
etc.). I know,
I'm getting ahead myself.
Looking forward to more
information,

Changing Dashboard Indicator Light Bulbs
Not too much truble at all.
There are two screws holding the dash bezel in,
after removing these, the
bezel needs to be pryed out jently. Disconnect the
wiring harnesses on both
sides, lower the steering wheel all the way down,
and you should be able to
remove the bezel with a little finnagling. Then
there are 4 screws holding
the gauge cluster in. After removing these, you
should be able, again
with a little finnagling, to remove the gauge cluster.
It helps to turn it
upside down, so it's facing into the dash. Easy as pie.
Takes me 5
minutes.
