Meguiars has a three bottle system, of
which I use #'s 1 and 2 with
very good results. #1 is a cleaner and #2 is a
polish. They're in a
burgundy colored bottle. You probably want to go with
the cleaner if
you're getting rain spots.
I wax with #26 high-tech
yellow wax.

It will fit. It might be something CARB related, or like
previously stated
it could be an old printing. AFAIK Extreme primarily
caters to the DSM
crowd. Maybe therefore the misinformation. The
best online 3/S vendor of
all times, Chien owner of Nexus Motorsports, have
unfortunately withdrawn
from the mail order parts business. For future
reference I think you will
have luck with Mike at Altered Atmosphere, or
Accelerated Accessories.

I have the Goodridge too which work well. I was told by

Ultimate Garage that they may have to be replaced with Porsche ones
to
upgrade brake systems to the 993. Something to consider if you go

RE: Team3S: a couple more...
I have been using the Mother's 3-step system
and also like it. They have
"Showtime" which is the "touch-up once you
get to the track" step.
Mother's does not have as good of a scratch
removal system like the 3M
(three step) or Meguiar's (three step) has so take
your pick but they all
have a cleaner, sealer, and wax. I like these
because they are a thick
liquid wax instead of paste.
Also note that
the 3M has a step for dark-colored cars (the wax for removing
or filling
scratches is dark in color). Sorry to those with Pearl White or
Red
cars. :-)

Air Box Removal (was: FIPK ?)
Darren, Bart et al:
As
with anything, you will have much better luck if you plan ahead.
A
couple days before you're going to remove the air box, hit those
bolts
with some Liquid Wrench. Again the day before. Then take
your time
trying to break them free on the day of removal. I can't
guarantee this
will work, but it has for
me.
Best,

If they do spin,
simply cut off the two plastic strips used to "anchor"
the flat bolt head
inside the air box, then grasp the long edge of
the bolt head with a
vice-grip and snap loose the nut. Should take
about 5 minutes not 2
hours, unless you try in vain to grip the bolt
heads in the narrow area
between the plastic "anchors".

BTW, was anyone
else appalled at just how stupid that design was? A
regular bolt/washer
combination would have work better and been a
hell of alot cheaper than
designing a custom head bolt and specially
molded anchor within the
airbox. Sometime times I wonder just what
car engineers are
smoking.

RE: Team3S: Stock Air Box Removal (was: FIPK ?)
Mind you the
two hours was when the box was off the car and the Dremmel tool
was used
(with cheap discs I found out which snapped instead of grinding
metal).
This was used to cut through the nut holding the bolt on so the
nifty bolt
now has a slit down the threaded portion of it.
I agree that the design
is stupid and replacing them with normal bolt-nut
combos will reattach the
box if needed (in AutoX the FIPK bumps me into the
ASP class whereas the
stock box keeps me in the AS class).

Team3S: Remote Start & Hood Lock
Hi to all that have shown interest
in locking down the hood and trunk. So as
not to clutter up the list, I will
compile an interested parties list by
email and post a digest version
answering all the questions in one posting.
If anyone else is interested in
the details please email me direct. I can
offer a discount for any list
members interested in purchasing. (I am also
looking for a USA/Canada
distrubutor)
The lock is built in England by a friends company CarSafe
Ltd
(www.carsafe.co.uk) and fits near
any car or van on the road. I have
fabricated the required brackets for the
3KGT/GTO/STEALTH. It works by
physically separating the manual cable release
from the actual release
mechanism. It is in a permanent locked position and
only releases when the
immobiliser is activated via the key or via any
electronic alarm device you
choose dependant on level of security you
require. When the electronic are
"Live" the hood or trunk can be opened as
normal, if the battery runs flat
you can "jump" via the cigarette lighter
socket with as low as 2V
q. Do you have any pictures or
diagrams?
a. Yes see attached (I will have details on my web site as soon
as I get rid
of this bout of flu). (http://www.airlarm.com sould be active by
Sunday)
q. I know the hood and trunk have a signal to sound the alarm if
after
locking it is forced open. Can you tell me where these are?
a.
The UK spec has a "pin switch" on the drivers side (RHD) mounted on
a
bracket, it has a square convoluted rubber cover which also controls
the
hood light, the trunk uses the trunk light switch.
q. Does the thief
really need to gain access to the engine compartment to
steal the car?
a.
YES in most every case, (don't believe what you see in the movies. Alarms
can
be bypassed, fuses/relays bridged, starters fired (6" spanner 2
secs)even
batteries removed (black-market value on a good battery about
$10-30)Some but
very few cars or vans can be started via the ignition switch
being taken to
earth (chassis) but more modern cars don't allow
this.
