Re: Team3S: Brake Fluid Recirculator
Actually, Im installing such a
system on my Celica AllTrac soon.
Its not new science, just costly.
With the metering valves ther eis a
slight possibility of the pads hanging on
the rotors very slightly, and
theres always the idea of KISS being lost in
the design of yourbraking
system.
Race car...do it. Street
car..the complication added to the system could
end up being more of a
headache than its worth.

Rims
I have a 1994 TT with stock 17" rims. Has anyone taken the
time to weight one of these rims? Additionally I am thinking about
replacing them with a three piece racing rim that could be used on the street as
well as the track. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Team3S: NEED INFO
Hi Guys,
My Mitsu rpm engine is high (1000 rpm)
at idle and I got the information
that I should check fast idle air valve
(FIAV) but I donot know the exactly
location on throttle body.
If
anybodies know where is it, please let me know.
FYI, I have checked BISS,
IAC, IPS, Idle Switch, cleaned carbon deposits
inside throttle body and
setting the ignition timing at 5 deg. BTDC, but the
rpm is still high. I
would the idle rpm should be at 750 rpm.
Should the car run stiffly if fuel
injectors dirty or clogged, because
almost 10 years the injectors never be
cleaned.
Thanks for your kindly information for
above.

Team3S: TPS
Hello all,
I have been trying to buy a replacement TPS for
my 92 base Stealth. I tried
ordering it from two different places,
carparts.com and autobarn.com and
both places sent me the wrong part. I tried
to argue this with them, but
they both say that part was listed as a matching
part for my car. I really
don't think that I am looking at the wrong part,
but just in case, does
anyone have a picture of their base model with the
trunk open so I can see
if I am the dumbass or if there is a bigger problem
here. Also, if no
picture, can someone explain where this part is
located?
Thank you,

Team3S: RE: Driver's seat in passenger side?
Well swapping the driver's
and passenger's seat does not work. The floor is
not actually flat but
it angles (higher in the center and lower toward the
outside) so if you try
to switch the seat then it is angled quite a bit
because of this
offset. Perhaps some spacers would do the trick.
It appears as
though everything will work (the hand controls are not too
buried to still be
useful, etc.) and the distance between the front mounting
points (15-1/2")
and the rear mounting points (16-7/8") are the same on both
sides. The
only problem is that the seatbelt connector is on the opposite
side at
first. I did not see if this can be easily switched last night.
I
was just trying to see how well the race seat fits in the driver's
position
(it fits well by the way).
The only advisable option would be
to buy a driver's seat from a right-hand
drive car and install it
properly.
For anyone taking notes ... these are 14mm nuts on the front of
the seats
and 14mm bolts holding down the back. There is one harness
under the
passenger seat to unplug and there is a stock radio amplifier (on
the 1995
VR-4 at least) under the passenger seat. The driver's seat has
two
harnesses plugged into the seat and one harness sitting idle. There
is
nothing under the driver's seat. The passenger seat weighs 40 pounds
and
the driver seat weighs 60 pounds. The fiberglass race seat that
is
replacing the driver seat weighs 16 pounds and with the harness will
be
about 20 pounds total.

Driver's seat in passenger side?
Since I will be installing a race seat
in my driver's seat position I was
wondering how wide the stock driver's seat
is from a VR-4 and if it will fit
where the passenger seat does or if the
mounting points are all in the same
place.
I don't mind switching
except that all the controls (forward/backward, tilt,
memory, etc.) are going
to be on the inside (left-side) and won't allow a
hand down there to adjust
anything. Would it be possible to weld/fix
brackets onto the slider
rails that will offset the seat a little to the
right and allow someone's
hand down the left side to reach the controls?
My real goal was to get a
driver's seat from a right-hand drive car (UK,
Australia/New Zealand, etc.)
but I imagine these are expensive. I think
I'll do a trial fit this
weekend and see how difficult it would be.

As described, when looking at the engine from the front,
the intake on top

connects to. This is
the throttle body and infront of it the TPS is attached
