RE: Team3S: Rotor hub question..
More specifically, there will be fewer
FULL threads making contact in your
lugnuts of you space out your
wheels.
You'll be asking for stud/nut failure for
sure.

RE: Team3S: Rotor hub question..
Just about any "real" race
shop can obtain and install SAE racing studs. I have
em on the front of
our car, and theyre a dream to work with.
If you have the chance as well,
get a deeper lugnut to use with them as well,
balance out the stresses across
even more threads.

This is the solution that the Mov'it big
brake upgrade kit uses
(
http://www.ultimategarage.com/bigbrake1.html).
They supply 2-piece rotors. The
hats can be thicker to push the wheel
out further. This solution will be a lot
better for track enthusiasts
than using spacers. Unfortunately, Mov'it won't
sell parts (hats,
rotors, etc) seperately.
KVR (
http://www.kvrperformance.com) is also
now offering 2-piece rotors. Brad
Bedell is investigating these for his
Big Red brake kits. You may want to check
with KVR to see if they can
provide thicker hats on on otherwise stock-sized
rotor. Lots of folks
would be interested in this info, so please post if you
obtain
any.
Definitely take Geoff's advice though and go with stronger &
longer studs and
maybe deeper lug nuts too. Replacing the studs should
be easy (I have a set of
new front hubs in the garage that I've
studied). You should be able to press
the studs out or knock them out
with a hammer. Then insert the new ones, put on
a lug nut (wahsers
might be needed), tighten it to pull the stud in 'home'. Let
us know if
you find a source for studs too, and their sizes.
Good
luck,
Ken

One trick to passing emmisions test is to make sure your
car is completly
warmed up before going to inspection station. When I
went to have my
insection done early Saturday morning I saw several irrate
people with new
cars that did not pass. Most of these people had
gotten up and driven
straight to the insspection station to beat the
rush. The catalytic
converters work better when hot (that is why
they are so close to turbos).
The engine itself seems to burn cleaner
when warmed up. I drove my My 71
Leman's revved out
in secpond gear driving to the inspection station to get
it good and hot. It
passed the dyno test with flying colors( but to much
lower standards) and
the dyno operators even commented on how clean the car
was for its
age. If your car was warmed up good before the test then you
have
other problems.

Can anyone
tell me if my oil pressure should drop way low like 2
marks from the bottom
an also with the K&N air filter should the idle be
a little higher to??
Also I just installed a new exhaust kept everthing

If you are at idle, 2
'marks' or so sounds fine. (I think mine is 2
or a bit higher).
But the important indication is where it goes
when you are at speed, with
high revs. If that indicator is just
below that icon near the top,
you're OK. But if it's still way low,
you may have oil pump
problems. (Or a faulty gauge).
When you installed the K&N, if
you disconnected the battery, the ECU
has to relearn it's new parameters when
you hook it back up. And it
should reset to around 750 rpm at idle
after a while. If you didn't
disconnect the battery, I guess it's
possible that the idle might be
somewhat higher. For my K&N
install, I removed the negative, as per
recommended procedure, and when I
hooked it back up, I think it did
race a bit... But it
"learned" quickly to compensate for the larger
volume of intake
air, and came back to 750 rpm. It's been there
ever since. Just
give yours a few miles, and if it's still idling
higher, disconnect the
battery and leave it that way for 10 minutes.
When you hook it back up,
within a few dozen miles (I've heard up to
150 miles), the ECU will 'learn',
and the revs should come back to
the default
750.
Best,
Forrest

Actually to "reset" your ECU after you have
disconnected the battery you
should allow the vehicle to idle to normal
operating temperature before you
drive it at all. I think the service
manual says about 5 minutes. That
allows the ECU to learn the idle and
warm-up parameters--parameters that do
not function above idle (like while
driving off into the sunset!). This also
allows the ECU to learn the
default parameters for all sensors--parameters on
which all
"adjustments" are made beyond idle.

I may have found a possible source for Getrag

of Presrite Corporation? They are
located in Cleveland, OH and according to
