RE: Team3S: Brembo rotors
Their data is inaccurate if they claim a bold
circle of 108.01mm on the 93+
cars. Assuming we are measuring bolt
center to center on the wheel studs
and not something else.
I have 94+
rotors and 95 18" wheels on my 92 VR4 (right now, as you are
reading
this)
I have installed this combination on 4 other cars also. (with
no other
modification to the car)

Re: Team3S: Brembo rotors
OK, hopefully this will put the 1st - 2nd gen
rotor issue to bed. These
are my sheet from Porterfield since I wanted to
upgrade to the 2nd gen
rotors. My rotors dimensions are:
OD-296mm
Height-45.2mm Nominal thickness-30mm Min Thk-28.4 mm
Hub Hole-68.8 mm # mount
holes-5 Hole or stud size-0.500 bolt circle-
114.3 mm
93+ front rotor
specs
OD-314 mm Height-45.6mm Nominal thickness-30mm Min Thk-28.4mm
Hub
Hole-68.8mm mount holes-5 Hole or stud size-0.49 Bolt
circle-
108.01mm

Ken
I
talked to Porterfield 6 months or so ago and it didn't seem like it would be a
big
deal --- they have the dimensions for the 3/S rotors to start with then
you just
choose what rotor configuration you want to go with the hat, the end
result is a
custom two piece rotor. Their cost is higher --- is the KVR a one
off or are more
units required to get the $200 price. In addition, I don't
remember the material for
the hats, is the KVR aluminum or
steel.

That

Team3S: Re: Anybody need to check battery? CHEAP WAY here (fwd)
Heres
something I added to the starnet list, thats very apropos in here as
well,
given that winter is arriving.
Check...your..battery.
And..if
youre a purist like me, its a good time to drain "some" of the
pure
water+water wetter coolant, and dump in some nice 50/50 "pet
killer"
formula. Dont drain it all, just some..and add A/F as required
to hit
50/50.
In the spring, flush & clean it all, and go back to
race-mode. *grin*

Resent-From:
stealth@starnet.netEveryone:
Lets
not forget that a maintenance-free battery is -not- a maintenance
free
battery.
Just marketing.
If you have a standard lead-acid battery,
please remember to check once a
year (if not 2x so) the water level on the
plates.
Maint-free batteries just have a fancy flame-retardant vent on
em, they
still lose water like the battery your grandparents were checking in
thier
cars 20+ years ago.
Most maint-free cells are redily able to pop
off the top, and add PURE
water. Its not "dirty" tap water that is the
issue here, but the chemical
properties a battery needs to work
right.

17" Wheel question
Hi all,
I've got a pretty odd question for all
you. Does anyone know of any 17" STEEL wheels that will fit
on a 91 TT? I'm
interested in doing a little "fun" driving this winter and I can't afford to
shell
out $500 per wheel if I damage one of the stock ones I have. Any
ideas? I would like to go with
steel since it would probably be cheaper,
other than that I'd like to find some wheels that are a
touch skinnier than
the stock wheels (I believe that they are 8.5", I'd like to go to 7.5" or 8")
so I can get a different tire on it for better traction in deeper snow/ice.
Thanks,
Bill
