Yes. You also need to take them off the ground for 24 hr for the
first
cooling cycle, either by jacking up the car or taking them off and
putting
the streets back on. Most people don't go to all that trouble. As for
me, I
order them heat cycled -- that way I know they are cycled
properly, they
don't get any road mileage, and I don't have to waste several
hours
mounting, driving and demounting them.

RE: Team3S: check engine light on
The service manual lists the intake
manifold plenum gasket as a non-reusable
part. As cheap as I am, I have
never been brave enough to reuse it. If
this behavior was not present
before you changed the plugs, you have got to
suspect it has something to do
with that service event. How did you deal
with the EGR valve? I
remember getting it on and off was a challenge. We
bought a special
plumbers tool for retrieving the little nuts (or was it
bolts) after dropping
them into the engine compartment. Now that's a gasket
I DID
reuse.
Does the engine run smoothly, or does it
miss?

The following link gives Tire Racks
version of the truth ---- they just say run the
tires for 100 miles at
highway speeds or have them do their stuff.
I've seen other versions of
heat cycling that require a more aggressive approach.
Hoosier wants you to
bring them [ competition tires ] up to race temps, 200º or so
park the car,
jack it up and let them cool for 48 hours. The sitting around
period is
apparently important as it allows the tire to 'cure' properly.
Tire Rack
has some good info on there tire tech page --- it's worth reading
over.

Yeah, I was too lazy to dismount them,
but they don't seem to wind up flat
sided. I don't think they really
get hot enough to deform. I guess I would
dismount them if I had a more

Team3S: re: check engine light on
I haven't seen where anyone else
mentioned this yet, but if I remember
correctly, the throttle cable is
clamped to a bracket that is bolted to the
intake plenum. The mounting holes
on the bracket are slotted to make it
adjustable. If you removed the
bracket in order to remove the plenum when
you replaced the rear plugs, and
didn't re-mount the bracket in the same
position as it was before, this
affects the position of the throttle cable
and could affect your engine idle
speed. If it's too far out of adjustment,
then the ECU can't compensate. It's
worth checking, but sounds like you
could have other problems,
too.

Actually I have only had the front plugs in since mid-December

I
don't know. I bought it in June with 40k and it now has 52k. The

temperamental to
the seasonal change.

It could be the battery but it has juice to start and
lights are not dim so
this is not the answer. Cables on the battery are
not corroded.
I forgot to mention that I did do a silicone hose upgrade
and some might
have a slightly larger or smaller ID to the hose which might
make a
difference. However, once a hose has a vacuum it doesn't really
matter the
size (besides - it only changed by 1 or 2 mm at most
anyway). A few weeks
ago I did a third of the engine. It ran
fine. Then the next weekend I did
some more. It ran fine I
think.
This might be some reasons but I tie-wrapped all the ends shut so
no hoses
are loose or anything.
Boy do those hose kits dress up the
engine though.

I'm the one who's photo's are
being used in the auction. I too attempted to contacted the seller after the
discovery. Here was my email:
Dear sietup,
I noticed your
auction for the Stealth and would like more information on it. The car looks
beautiful for having so many miles on it. Is there anything wrong with it? By
the looks of the photo, it's been garaged all it's life. Why are you selling
her?
Here is the reply:
"Hi, those picture are exactkly my
Stealth, but I'm working on more pictures. The cars is in great
shape. My wife is getting to me ---- "SELL IT, SELL IT, YOU NEED TO SELL
IT!!!" ---- you know!"
After receiving this reply, I decided to
file a complaint. I too had difficulty finding a way to submit a complaint to
eBay, but finally succeeded. I sent them and explanation and links that would
clearly prove the image was mine and being wrongfully used in the auction. This
is eBay's reply:
"Thank you for taking the time to send your concerns to

Thank you for the

current product.
Also, I assume that the current product will be compatible
with the new,

will
change and keep the sensors the same or will the sensors be
different
too? This is all very new to me so I am trying to learn all

The NA motor can supposedly handle up to 10 psi
without changing
compression. This information comes from GT Pro, so
argue with them, not me
:) I would however, like to know what the
actual functionality of this
"kit" is. Regardless of the maximum boost
pressure, could this system be a
bolt-on mod? By my estimation, he has
assembled all the necessary parts to
build a functional TT motor out of an
NA. Not that I am not commenting on
any power output. I'm simply
wondering if it would run and be drivable.
Would any of our resident
technical experts care to comment?

I didn't notice any fuel system parts in the
"kit", and you would want to
increase the fuel supply in order to safely run
boost on a non-turbo car. A
rising-rate fuel pressure regulator is
pretty much mandatory, as is likely a
higher flowing fuel pump and
appropriately sized fuel injectors. I don't
know for a fact that the
nonturbo engines come with different injectors, but
if I was Mitsubishi that
would be a great area to cut some costs on a
nonturbo.
An ECU from a
turbo car would probably also be the easiest way to make all
this stuff work
properly. Don't know if the airflow sensors are different
between turbo
and non-turbo cars. Hopefully not, which would save
some
hassles/money.
Seems like more trouble than it is worth
though. High-horsepower FWD cars
are a real handful to drive, and not
really that entertaining.

Jim,
Roger,
I'd be extremely curious to learn how many 3000GTs Mitsubishi ever
officially
sold in Europe, but I'd be terribly shocked if the number was
above twenty or
so, considering the fact that the price of the car was about
35% more over
here compared to VR-4s in the US. Also, I have a lot of very
good friends
in Germany, and I love them, but 99% of them would get an
immediate heart
attack at the thought of owning a non-German-made
car.
> there are also various models of the 3000GT and

>
here.
I think the situation is a lot worse than you think, Jim. You'd be
surprised
how many 3000GTs and Stealths in Europe were once labeled 'salvage
title' by
American insurance firms... It's a great business, importing wrecks
and
'repairing' them. I was looking for a 3000GT to buy for two and a half
years,
and believe me, I know. I've seen ones where half of all the parts
under
the hood were not even made by Mitsubishi... Mercedes cooler, VW
air-condition
compressor, you name it, it's there. And since a lot of Mitsu
dealers never
ever saw a 3000GT in person, even the mechanics examining the
car for the
buyer are fooled. Everything seems to be working on the car, but
change
something, and the newly ordered part won't fit with its holder, etc.,
what
a surprise! Of course, the buyer is mesmerized by the rare beauty of
the
chassis, and loses all common sense. It's all caused by Mitsu's
hyperidiotic
marketing strategy claiming that there was no demand for NA
(i.e. not over-
priced beyond reason) 3000GTs in Europe. Did you know for
example that the
new Eclipse is NOT AT ALL available in Europe? The big
German 'Autokatalog
2000' doesn't even mention it! Ridiculous. You want a
sports car? Buy a
Ferrari. Don't have enough money to buy a Ferrari? Drop
dead, there's no
alternative. This seems to be the European way of car
marketing. (Or was I
meant to believe the Audi TT is a sports car, and not
some undersized
futuristic tricycle from a 1920's Fritz Lang movie? Never
ever even occured
to me, sorry, sorry, sorry...)
Andzrej, if you want
to get a 3000GT in this part of the world, be VERY
careful, and prepare to
spend a LOT of money, a lot more than any of our
American friends on this
list would ever even consider spending, especially
after you got the car,
courtesy of Mitsubishi Motors Marketing Strategy,
thank you.
(BTW, if
you buy an American car, you need to replace or modify all the
lamps to pass
the inspections, you need to buy the front lamps for the
European model
because American beams are horizontally leveled while European
beams are
angled, somehow install a WHITE front side marker and rewire the
big yellow
front sidebulb for turning light only, which will give you small
voltage
drops while you use the turning light, but don't worry about that,
and rewire
and cut out part of the rear combination light to install YELLOW
plastic
material over the rear turning light section at the sides, fog lights
need no
changing.)

Congrats on

takes
about 45-minutes to get out all the panels (next to the rear left

Team3S: Cigarette lighter/power outlet not working
It must be the season
for my problems.
A few weeks ago I was using a tire inflator in the power
outlet to inflate
the tires with air (seems simple enough). After
filling up all four tires
from the car sitting a while after the tranny was
replaced I noticed that
the inflator died on me. It still had juice
(lights would work) but it did
not inflate anymore. I thought I blew
the fuse on the power outlet.
I tried the cigarette lighter. It
worked for a while then went dead too.
Both fuses are good for these
things but where can the problem be? A
possible shorted wire under the
consoles? I think I even replaced the fuses
with good ones but to no
avail.
What's worse is that I can't use the Valentine One OR the G-Tech
Pro. Most
devastating.

Team3S: Windshield wipers not on automatically
Yes another
problem.
This one might be related to the last one (Cigarette
lighter/power outlet)
since it seemed to have happened around the same
time. When I pull on the
windshield washer arm it squirts water but the
wipers (front) do not move.
I have to move the arm to the ON position for
them to work. Is this a bad
switch or something? Could the
possible shorted wires from the cigarette
lighter and power outlet have
knocked out the windshield wipers too?
The rear wipers work like a
champ. I have checked all available fuses for
them but they appear to
be good. What's more is that I took out the fuse
for the wipers (the
fusebox in the driver footwell) but after I removed it I
could still turn
them on. Most aggravating. Maybe my fusebox cover was
upside
down. I checked and took out the correct fuse (located not by
location
but number this time) and still the wipers work.
I'll have to take a
picture so people don't think I'm crazy.

I have checked the #1 (Cigarette

Also, what fuse takes care of the power

don't think there have been any issues with Brian
trying to rip people off
through GT-Pro. I have heard some rather bad things
about GT-Alley...but
those days are long gone. BTW...don't go by the prices
on the website, most
of them are MSRP and are outdated. The site has't been
updated recently as
they are going to be launching a new site in the near
future.

that work on our cars and are reliable. I
checked out GT-Pro since they're
practically in my back yard but I've heard
some very mixed things about
them. I even found several complaints
about them on a consumer affairs web
site about them ripping people
off. When I checked out their web site their
prices seemed rather high
as well (compared to that of Altered Atmosphere,
which is nowhere near
me). Unfortunately, they're the only one I know of.
Does anyone else
know of any other shops that work on our cars in so.
cal?
TIA.

Exactly, the site has not been updated since
beginning of last December.
This because Brian has no time to send any
information as well as he don't
want to spend money on a service for making
the pages. I know, because I'm
(or was) the webmaster of GT-PRO. I'd not
expect any chance within the next
weeks and it is always a good idea to call
them directly.

I just installed my Intrax springs
today.
First, Brian set me up an appointment for 9am, but when I came there,
he
asked me to come back at 1pm. And so I did come at 1pm. The
installation
took about 3.5 hours.

Would a '93

Team3S: Heater sluggishness
Cripes - here we go again ...
This
morning like all others started out with starting the car for
5
minutes. Then I drive the 10 minutes to meet my carpool ride.
Usually, in
about 2 minutes of driving the car is warm enough to turn on the
heat and
feel all warm and cozy. Recently (in the last month or so) the
heater has
not been working so well.
It takes a full 8 minutes of
driving before there is any heat. Is this
going to be indicative of a
heat fuse not working, something in the heater
coils that needs
replaced?
Remember that is might be related to the other problems I have
been
experiencing. It does work eventually but takes some time to get
there.
