Hey, Shannon,
When offering items for sale on the Team3S
list, please be more
specific as to the condition of the items, and request
that members
who are interested respond privately. If these are the
same rims
you were considering having rechromed in November, that info
should
be shared with the other members. We have dozens of new
members
since then who may not have seen your post 4 months ago...
You
mentioned at that time that the "FixARim" company advertised
on
another website (the 3Si site) and that 3Si shouldn't accept
their
advertising since they offered NO warranty... It's not our
website,
so it's obvious we have no control over that, even if we agree
with
your criticism. But we can only assume that you did not get
the
work done. Please make sure to include such facts when posting
to
the Team3S list, out of fairness to all the owners who might
consider
purchasing them. Thanks...
Best,
Forrest
for the
Admin...

Rally Style Fog Lights
Who knows of a decent set of the big rally style
round fog lights? I need
the fog lihgts specifically, not the driving
lights. I am in search of some
that are between 7 and 9 inches in
diameter. I have found some I like at
www.cibie.com but when I converted 33,000 yen, I
got $315US, and to me that
seems high when Hella has a similar application
for like $80. I am willing
to spend more, and I want quality, but I'd
like to stay under $200. Any
vendors out there, or know of a vendor
that specifically carries
these?
Thanks.

Team3S: Checking oil level?
MM,
The procedure is the same for VR4s
and nearly all cars on the
road. You will probably have to dry the dip stick
off with a
cloth or paper towel then put it back in completely. Remove
it
again and check to see if the highest bit of oil on it is
between the
two indentations near the bottom of the stick. Below
the lowest one and
you'll need to add some oil (remove the big
cap that says "OIL"
next to the dip stick and pour a little in,
check the stick again, and
replace the cap after enough is
added). Above the upper one and you have too
much oil in the
crankcase. Ask us for more help if this is the
case.
P.S. NEVER press the acceleration pedal more than half-way
to
the floor. Pressing the pedal all the way may cause a never
ending
smile on your face that could be embarrassing in some
situations plus annoy
other drivers of lesser cars.

Sandie,
Make sure to wipe the dipstick to
remove any oil that might have been
forced up the dipstick tube with a
rag. After wiping the dipstick clean,
insert it fully then remove it
again. Look for the point where the oil
crosses the entire width of the
dipstick and that should be the oil level. If
the oil is higher towards
one side of the dipstick then it may just be oil
clinging to the side of the
dipstick tube. Also, for the most accurate
results try to park the car
as level as possible and let it sit for a bit
after being run so the oil
drains back down.
Hope that helped somewhat,
Jason

RE: Team3S: 92 Stealth trans
Stan,
I have a similar problem with
my 91 TT 5spd. But it pops out of reverse on
occasion and has a
vibration in 5th gear. What worries me is that the DSM
guys have had
similar symptoms when the nut which holds the 5th gear shaft
comes
loose. They have a totally different transmission but the
symptoms
could point to the same problem. Check here for their answers
and symptoms
http://members.home.com/costall/1000Q/answers-problems.htm#myshiftermovesI
also talked with my local dodge dealer and he said it sounded like a
bearing
wearing down. (I don't know how much I trust them) As soon as
I
get my garage stuff moved into my new house I am pulling the side cover
off
of the tranny and looking for any loose nuts on the gear shafts.
It
could also be just a warn motor mount, but I don't think it would cause
the
shifter to pop out of 5th gear.
Hope it helps,
Kevin Schappell

Depending
on the price and how it was shaped. If it is just like the
stock tubing, no.
If it went to a different place to allow cooler air
intake, yes. And more
importantly, mandrel bends.

I'll second that - also, if it were modular (i.e. had a 6"
straight part
that could be replaced with an eRAM), that'd be really nice,
too. Intake
end could be somewhere around the passenger side
intercooler location, but
up far enough to be protected from water, rocks,
and small rodents. Perhaps
even make it so that the 90 degree bend at
the TB was opened up some (would
require people to relocate their battery,
but no big deal, right? :)

level?]
Sandie,
Make sure to wipe the dipstick to
remove any oil that might
have been forced up the dipstick tube with a
rag. After wiping
the dipstick clean, insert it fully then remove it
again. Look
for the point where the oil crosses the entire width of
the
dipstick and that should be the oil level. If the oil is
higher
towards one side of the dipstick then it may just be oil
clinging
to the side of the dipstick tube. Also, for the most
accurate results
try to park the car as level as possible and
let it sit for a bit after being
run so the oil drains back
down.
Hope that helped
somewhat,
Jason

MM,
The procedure is the same for VR4s and nearly all cars
on the
road. You will probably have to dry the dip stick off with a
cloth
or paper towel then put it back in completely. Remove it
again and check to
see if the highest bit of oil on it is
between the two indentations near the
bottom of the stick. Below
the lowest one and you'll need to add some oil
(remove the big
cap that says "OIL" next to the dip stick and pour
a little in,
check the stick again, and replace the cap after enough
is
added). Above the upper one and you have too much oil in the
crankcase.
Ask us for more help if this is the
case.

Hey, Mike,
Sounds like the
last time they did your oil, they threw in the extra
1/2 QT. And you
don't burn any, so it's still overfull. (Unless
you're on a huge hill,
or your engine is running when you test it)!
Level ground, engine off, above
the max line means too much oil.

Re: Team3S: Stock fog lamps
Tim:
I didn't see any reply to your
question, so...
You need to undo some bolts from the front air dam (black
plastic thingy
under front bumper) -- enough to reach and see your way to the
back side of
the foglight, then reach up and undo the 2(?) bolts from the
foglight. It
then slides out the front pretty easily. Let me know
if you need more
detail, and I will gladly provide it.
You may need to
convert the bulb connection plug, since the H3 bulbs have
different plugs
now. Take your bulb out _before_ going to the store to buy
a
replacement, and you will see what I mean.
I put 100 watt bulbs in my
foglights, switched to a higher-rated fuse, and
they sure are bright.
The stock wattage is pretty worthless, in my opinion.
It may or may not be
coincidence (probably not!), but the one time I let my
wife drive the car to
work, she ended up burning up the wiring on one of the
lights, so I will be
taking mine apart soon to re-wire them with larger
guage wire.
You may
also want to play with the aiming screws on the fogs and headlights
once you
have replaced the bulbs, for more effective lighting
patterns.

Sandie, Do an oil change and take a reading
after the oil has been drained.
If the stick is dry then it has been
overfilled. If not then there is a
problem with the tube for your
stick.

Big RPM gauge.
ANyone have one? Like the kind drag racers mount on their
dash. I'm ~kinda~
looking into one, but can't tell where it would fit.
I mostly want it for
the shift light and the memory feature (more fun stuff
than really needed,
but I don't like the factory Tach - the angle I sit at
with the steering
wheel at it's angle, I can't see the tach very

Team3S: NEED INFO
Hi All,
I am a new member and would like to
discuss and solve the problem for my
Mitsu.
One of my sixteen lash
adjusters is malfunction always ticking and should
be replaced with new
one.
I bought new for 1 pc MD337687 -Mitsu Lash Adjuster, before I installed
it
first I bleed air up by pushed a small wire (paperclip) down slightly
from
top hole to bottom till lash adjuster is collapsed then I deep it into
clean
fuel diesel and pumping it up 5 to 8 times till the cavity full of
fuel
diesel. After I did it, I take it up with paperclip still in it and
pumping
up to empty fuel diesel from cavity then I deep it into clean oil
and
pumping it up to fill oil in it, but the lash adjuster is still
collapsed
not like before I did it.
Then I installed it into barrel and
completed the valvetrain after this work
is finished then I start the engine
up, first the lash adjuster is still
clattering after 2 minutes the satan
went away, it means the lash adjuster
is working well. But what happened
after 3 weeks, the lash adjuster is
ticking again and it will go away when I
drive long.
In my question, is the lash adjuster ticking because I did it
wrong
procedure in which I collapsed it first by pushed down with small wire
to
bleed air and fill oil into cavity.
If I did it wrong , how to fix it
and if anybody knows and have experience
please let me know.
Your kindly
attention and assistance will be highly appreciated.
Kindly
regards,
Harijanto
