Team3S: re:fog light bulbs
Your lights should last longer than that. I
use mine whenever the parking
lights or head lights are on, which is quite
often, and they last 2 to 3
years. Be careful not to touch the glass surface
of the bulb when you
install it. I'm not sure exactly why, but fingerprints
on the bulg will
significantly shorten it's life.

Team3S: OT: I need info on lengthened wheel studs for NA Supra
(MKIV)
Hello list,
Please forgive the off-topic question, but I'm
in a little bit of a bind.
Can anyone give me information on purchasing
aftermarket/replacement lengthened wheel studs for a 97 Supra NA? Actually, any
info on lengthened wheel studs in general would be appreciated. Is this
something that my local Wheel Works would be able to do? Has anyone purchased
lengthened wheel studs?
Unless the info can be used by the Team 3S
community, please respond privately via e-mail
Thanks in
advance!

RE: Team3S: Yokohama AVS dB tires?
No goop on those but I love my Pirelli
P-Zero. I'm on 23,000 miles on them
so far. Fantastic tires at
about $265 each. I live in PA so don't deal
with much rain if that
helps people. Also, these are street tires only as I
have ones for
Autocross and open track thus I don't need a compromise tire.

RE: Team3S: re:fog light bulbs
Is there a way to have the OEM driving
lights on a second gen come on with
the first position headlight position
(parking lights)? I think the first
gen can do this but the second gen
can not.
And I'll be looking to put in fog lights and better driving
lights this year
sometime so I'll be checking out the posts and archives for
those tips
again. With my race seat installed I am about 2" lower than
normal so I
can't even see the OEM driving lights hitting the road
anymore.

Re: Team3S: Yokohama AVS dB tires?
I do have the AVS Yokos in size
255/40-17 on the car and I'm not that happy.
Lots of wandering and hard tire.
Extreme good longelivity but not that good
in wet weather. It was defintiely
too cheap :(
Today I highly recommend the new S-03 or the brandnew
Michelin Pilot II. For
my daily driver the Audi A8 I just got the Dunlop
SP9000 again (245/45-17)
and I still think it's one of the best tires
for a daily driven car in many
weather conditions.

re:fog light bulbs
What wattage are you running? I tried 100W
bulbs, but they didn't last more
than a month or two. I figured there
just isn't enough cooling to keep them
from over heating.
I have since
tried 70W bulbs and haven't had a problem.
Oh I am running H3 bulbs in
the fog lights (had to convert the connection a
bit) and H4 Hella headlights
(had to also rewire a bit).
Hope this helps,

Find your local SCCA chapter..yellow pages..etc, and
find the local shops
that deal with race cars..the more focused towards
SOLO1/Road Racing the
better. They eat/breathe that kinda

You will generally upgrade to an S.A.E. size stud from metric,

theyre more available..generally.

I just got a set of AVS (used) from Jeff
and I can't tell much difference
between them and my 'beloved' Nittos.
They tracked like hell with the
settings Jeff recommended (38F/32R), but he
had them on a heavier car. On
my Stealth NT, I tested them at various
inflations and ended up at 44psi
front and 36psi rear. They handled
great, even without the alignment I'm
getting next week. I have no idea
which flavor of AVS they are, since
that's all they say on the tire wall, but
they are definitely not loud, so I
guess they could be the dB variety.
I took them around a few turns at
speed, and so far, I like them a lot!
Fantastic grip, no squeal - really
nimble on tight turns. They don't
feel particularly "hard" to me - they
feel just right for performance
handling. We'll see how they fare at
Thunderhill in two
weeks...
Best,
Forrest

Team3S: CV joint replacement question
I have started removing the CV
joint to be replaced on the drivers side of
my 95 VR-4. First, I
believe it can be removed w/o taking the shaft out
that goes into the
tranny. I have gotten the axle nut off and the axle is
pushed out of
the bearing. I have removed the outer tie rod joint as well
since that
ball joint has a torn boot. How do you remove the back of the
inner tie
rod which I assume is inside the rubber grease cover? I removed
the
clip on the front side, but the rear piece is hidden. Also, what

I look for on the inner CV to disconnect so I do not have to take the
shaft
out of the tranny?

You must remove the entire 2 piece
shaft assembly, because if the 2 pieces
are separated they must be "pressed"
back together

Unless the steering
rack needs work, don't try removing the shaft, put the
clamp back on the
boot and just leave the tie rod hanging as it is.

As i said, you must remove it all.
The carrier bearing bracket is held on
with 2 bolts, and has a guide pin
(like on a flywheel or crank pulley).
Remove the bolts, pop it away from the
block, and maneuver the shaft around
until you can rotate the bracket to
clear the various parts. I think if you
push it towards (into) the
tranny about 1/4", the bracket will free up. It
helps to have somebody
hanging onto the wheel end while doing this.
Hope this
helps,
Wayne

You could go to the Tire Rack site and look
at tread patterns to see what
you've got. The AVS db has a wear rating of 320
or so, which means that
you'll get sick of looking at them before they wear
out --- they have a
half-life longer than most radioactive
isotopes.

Subject: Re:
Team3S: Yokohama AVS dB tires?
Yeah, Jim, I had already looked at Tire
Rack, but I hadn't really paid
attention to the tread design - only the size,
255/35ZR18. And I couldn't
find them in that size (not even on the Yoko
site!), so they must be a
discontinued size. (A whole lot of Porsche
and Ferrari drivers have them,
so I guess they were available until
recently). I finally went out and
looked at the tread again and matched
them up with the photo on the Tire
Rack site. They are the "AVS
Intermediate", which only have a wear rating
of 160. They are
Ultra-High Performance, and stick like glue, so I guess
they'll go to the
"nuclear waste dump" a bit sooner than the dBs. Like you,
I don't drive
much, so they'll still last a while unless I do too
many
"Thunderhills". (We'll miss not seeing you there). The only
time the tires
are noisy are over gravel or dirt, since the deep rain grooves
pick up
*lots* of debris and pelt the hell out of the wheel wells. Very
impressive
tires, if my 2 runs on PCH near Half Moon Bay are any
indication. And very
different from the AVS dBs. I'm glad I have
these "AVS Intermediates", but
the AVS dBs are probably better for those who
do mostly highway driving.
Later,
Forrest

RE: Team3S: Yokohama AVS dB tires?
Jim, my Pirelli P-Zero treadwear is a
140. AND I am getting 23k miles on
them. Imagine what I
would get with those 200+ treadwear tires. These
specs and more are
listed on TireRack's webpage. Not all tires offer this
(the Pole
Position tire did not have a rating).
For comparison ... my road racing
Yokohama A032 has a treadwear of 60 and
the standard Autocross tire, the
Kumho Victoracer 700, has a treadwear of
50. Those things can be dented
with your finger on a warm day.
