Team3S: NON-Platinum Spark Plug Part #??? PLEASE!
I was wondering
if anyone knows the part number for the non-platinum
(inexpensive) plugs for
a 92 RT/TT. I can't remember which person it
was who has used them
before (Jack T. or Bob F.)
Thanks in
advance!!

3si member passes away.
My deepest condolences, Vineet.
If I
recall (and please correct me if I am wrong), Mike Murray was known as
"
Cometothezoo@aol.com". He was also
involved in the video you took in the
snow blizzard. I also recall
Mike Murray contributing to our 3Si/Team3S
mailing lists with valuable
knowledge, feedback & support.
I never had the opportunity to meet
Mike in person. I only heard of him from
you, Vineet; and and it sounded
like you two were truly good friends. About
a year and a half ago, I
too had lost a good friend due to reasons I will not
mention right now; and
no one saw the signs either. My thoughts are with
you and once
again, my deepest condolences go out to you and Mike's family.
I will try
my best to attend the services tomorrow (Saturday
12-30-2000).
Ahmed.

guess life just got to him, and no one saw the signs, and
if they did,
they didn't think it was really that bad. He passed away
peacefully as
far as I know. It's hard for me to write this stuff,
because I have
never done so.
3/S CD's and Curestrip
shipments may be delayed a bit, until stuff
settles down... anyway,
here is some info if you are in the area, and
you knew Mike, his mother
does not really know who his friends were,
since so many of them were
on the internet, and associated with 3/S
stuff. If the team3s list
cannot handle a non-technical post... at
this point, I don't
care.
To all of Mikes friends, here is the info I just
recieved from Mike
Murray's mother (Caroline). She and her family would
be grateful to
have his friends around. I don't know how to write this
stuff 'cause
it sucks... sucks ass.

NGK model numbers
are: BCPR6ES-11 for stock heat range, BCPR7ES-11 for one
range colder
than stock. The part number for the 7ES is 1095 but I'm not
sure what
it is for the 6ES.

Re: Team3S: Help, car does not start
I had a simular thing happen when my
timing belt went
out. One day I tried to start my '92 stealth and it
kept
turning and turning, but wouldn't start. The
dealer told me later that some
of the values had broke
because of the timing belt, and that was the
reason
for the lack of startage. At the time, I had just
bought the car
from a private individual a week
earlier, and it had 51K miles on
it.
I hope that this isn't the case for you, as it ended
up costing me
$4000 in repairs. At least I can sleep
at night knowing the dodge dealership
won't go out of
business anytime soon.

Team3S: I forward mikes mum's thanks to you all
I got so many emails, and
tried to answer a few, but thought this
would be much better... (and easier
for me to handle). I forward all
your heartfelt emails to Mike's
mom...
This is from Mike's mom, some of you asked info for flowers and
cards
Dear Vineet:
I received your email, thank you so much it really
did help. I only
wish
Mike was here to realize how important he was
to so many.
The response has been amazing. Anyone wishing to send
flowers
or a donation can send it to the funeral home, they will make
certain
it goes to the
family.

As to
specifics as to how, or why it happened, I don't think I can
talk about it
anymore, nor do I think it's something for me to say. If
you knew him, please
ask him mom. She really appreciates the fact that
he was well liked, and had
so many people out there that at least knew
of him in some way or
another.
If you want to send any emails, please mail them to Caroline
at
jadeceo@aol.com (I have been
forwarding all the ones you all have
kindly sent me to her, and she really
appreciates it.
Thank you all so
much.

Team3S: Pirelli snow tires
The snow tires finally arrived. Wow. All of a
sudden the car drives like it
should. I'm pretty sure that the 18" wheels
that were on it are bent or
something because the car wanted to wander all
over the road with the 18".
Now (17" Mille Spiders w/ Pirelli Snow 210) the
car drives straight down the
road. And the ABS hasn't kicked in since, even
on ice!
I was beginning to think that something was wrong with my
AWS...

Team3S: Just got a VR4... Things don't look good
Guys,
I
just picked up a '94 3000GT VR4 today (12/29). It ran great through
the
test drive, had records (full 60K performed at 52K), has new tires, and
has
new paint. The bad news is on the drive home it tried to and
finally did
overheat. I have been reading in the archives on what could
have caused
this and what damage it could have done. There are no
visible leaks, but
the coolant was severely low when I got it stopped.
The heat hand was
fluctuating between normal and about 4/5 of the way up on
the drive home.
It finally hit the red as I got off the highway (I assume
thanks to there
being less air forced through the radiator) and the check
engine light came
on. I was hoping to limp it to a parking lot, but
less than a minute after
the engine light came on the car cut off. Soon
there after the proof that
the car had run too hot poured out from the
hood. I sent my girlfriend to
get some water and waited it out.
Seeing as it is under 30 degrees here
right now the engine cooled off
considerably quick. When she returned we
cranked the car and started
adding the water (as was the advice of my
father: "Never pour cold water in
to a hot engine"). The engine knocked
rather loud for a short time then
calmed down as the water was added.
I'm afraid that either the engine had
damage prior to me buying it or I just
caused some serious damage.
After the water was added I was able to limp it
home and the check engine
light never came back on. I'm hoping this is a
good sign. The
knock is gone but it is producing a fair amount of smoke (it
was mixed in
with the usual cold air exhaust clouds and in the dark, so I
can't tell you
guys a color right now).
I have been reading on the archives about
overheating and thus far I have
heard boiling over is something to worry
about (as I knew it was) but I am
yet to see anything on exactly what may
have happened to the engine due to
the boil over. I'll keep reading in
the archives and I hope to hear back
from some of you on this.
When I
saw the heat hand start acting strange I suspected the thermostat was
faulty
and planned to have it changed some time soon. I never expected the
car
to die before it even finished the 30 +/- mile trip. :(
I got a
great deal, now I hope things don't go down hill for me.
Thanks in
advance for any help you guys can offer me...

Team3S: rotors and pads
Hello list members.
I have a warped
rotor, so in a month or two I will be ordering a new set of
rotors and pads.
I decided I want to just go ahead and buy the best set
available. Which
rotors would you all recommend? Any particular pads or just
the
factory?
Please keep in mind that I need these parts for a *non*turbo and
I would like
to spend something no higher than in the upper three
figures.
I appreciate it!
