I am in the process of posting the entire Stealth Technical
Information Manual on my web site. The Brake and Steering sections
are available for those that are curious as to what Mitsubishi has to
say about these. Other sections are available. It probably will be a
few weeks before the entire TIM is available (about 280 pages).

Subject: Team3S: Need advise on helmets

I need to get a helmet for driving schools but I don't no what is best. 
Most of the helmets I am seeing are SA95 approved but SA2000 helmets are
starting to pop up more often, when do you all think that the SA95
requirement will be phased out?  I am looking at the Bell Sport II, the best
price I have found is $225 for the SA95 and $284 for the SA2000.  I know a
full face is much safer than a open face and I would defintely feel more
comfortable(safe) with a full face, but are there any reasons not to get a
full face?  What advise can you guys offer me?

Thanks,
Michael D. Crose

Thanks Jeff you're setting up a hell of a informative site there --- if
only people would read a little before asking some basic questions.

Subject: Re: Team3S: Need advise on helmets

I've got a Simpson SA 95 which will probably be good for another 5+ years
in open track events. Some of the organizations are starting to phase out the
90's. If I were buying new I'd go with the latest greatest. Porsche club is
talking about phasing out the 95's --- I think they just want to keep out the
riff raff.

Short of Dale Ernhardt few folk wear the open face for racing --- better
visibility is of course the best reason for a open face, but in a car there
just ain't that much to see. Dale sez he can feel the air movement better
and therefore kick ass better --- not issue with the way I drive.

When my O2 sensor went bad, my check engine light came on. Also, it got bad gas mileage and lost power. The one you need to replace is in the front of the exhaust after the manifolds. At the dealers, they were pricier than good ole carparts.com.  Try them...

Subject: RE: Team3S: Need advise on helmets

I actually have the exact helmet you are looking for - Bell Sport II full
face and I bought it from Helmet City, www.helmetcity.com, and they were
most kind and even shipped the helmet one day early with no extra charge (I
needed it that weekend for a track day).  As far as rating I agree that you
should get the latest.  I have 95 which is standard for all schools I've
seen so far.

I love it and a bonus is the Band-Aid smell from the insulation and fire
retardant stuff on the inside.  I actually don't mind this.  It is not a
very helmet for track use (30 minutes on at a time or so) and provides about
the most eyeport available except for the much more expensive M2 (or
something like that).  I can even wear my sunglasses inside the helmet
although it is a little tight on the temples but at least I can see.

It has the shield closable all the way, popped open about half an inch,
one-third and two-thirds open, then all the way open.  Vent holes don't seem
to do much so I leave them in the open position all the time.

Also look at a helmet bag and a balaclava.  Bag to keep it from getting
scratched and the balaclava (which is NOT a pastry item) to keep your head
sweat from smelling up the inside.  Next padding (full circle, horseshoe
shape, etc.) might be good for longer events or better protection of the
neck.  All these can be found at Summit Racing, Carparts, OG Racing, etc.
and are located on Jeff Lucius' page of Links,

Subject: Team3S: Shocks & Struts

Hey gang:

Don't think I've seen this one asked before, and haven't run across a good
answer on the Net:

I think my original springs, shocks and struts are in need of replacement.
I have 84k on my 91 Stealth RT/TT, so the mileage isn't too high, but then
again, my heavy car has been supported by the same suspension parts for just
under 10 years!

I just ordered some new Eibach Pro-Kit springs, but I need to know your
collective thoughts on replacement shocks and struts.  I would like to keep
the ECS, so I don't know what options I have.  I would also like to keep the
cost reasonable.  I drive the car only on Michigan (pothole-infested)
roads -- I don't road race or drag race.  The car is mildly tweaked (manual
bleeder valve) but otherwise stock.

What would you recommend for replacements?  OEM, or aftermarket?  How much
am I looking at spending?  My experience with these cars has been that OEM
parts are usually as expensive as aftermarket/upgrade parts, so you might as
well go for the upgrades.  The only thing I have found so far was GAB shocks
on the Dynamic Racing website (which I *think* work with ECS) for $999.
That's more than double what I was hoping to spend, but again, I have no
idea what these things cost.

Thanks,

Roger Roskam
91 Indy Stealth RT/TT
