I'm pretty sure you can get the carrier bearing seperate from the shaft, but
I don't have my CAPS software loaded on the computer I'm using so I can't
verify that or give you a part number.  If it is just deterioration of the
rubber ring that surrounds the bearing to hold it in place, you can repair
it by filling the rubber piece full of silicone caulking.  Some of the
Eclipse/Talon people do that and it seems to work okay.

That's exactly what it is.  :-)

Subject: Team3S: Wiring diagram for Stereo

Could someone help me out with the wiring diagram for the stereo of the
3000gt.
Could someone mail me a scanned copy.
Is it in the manual.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Joel.

Mitsubishi part number for the "center bearing, propeller shaft" is
MB505495.  Conicelli Mitsubishi sells them for $49.56 each.  The same part
number works for both bearings (front and rear).

Yes, possible. I think an aftermarket BOV should be in the upgrade parh
anyways when larger turbos are going in.

revor (and anyone else with custom seats):

How did you mount the seats to the floor?  Did you get custom brackets, if
so from who (Corbeau, Sparco etc), and how are they?  Adustable fore/aft or
not?  Do they make the seats too "tall" so you don't fit in car with a
helmet on?

I got brackets from Corbeau that are 3/S specific. They're fore/aft
adjustable but the range is a little screwy. I'm 5' 10.5" and I have them
slid all the way forward. If you're short these seats are not for you. My
wife cant drive my car now! The seats sit about as high as a stock drivers
seat with it adjusted as high/tall as possible. I have no problem wearing a
helmet with them.

Jack, you're right about being too tall. That was my exact problem with the
Corbeau Seats. I had to have custom brackets made to fit right onto the floor
or my head just hit the roof and roll cage. BTW, looking forward to finally
meeting you.

I've noticed the Live list has died
but sent messages are still being
included/sent in the Digest version.

It's times like these I'm glad I
subscribed to both!

I hope the Digest only subscribers are
aware of this.  I first noticed the problem
on Sat. night and it is still occuring now.(Monday evening)

Subject: Team3S: wheel's crack (!$#&^*)

I just put new tires on my vehicle, found I had wheel locks and didn't have
the key.  With some good advice and help from fellow members I run the locks
off with a 12 sided socket (which was surprisingly easy???) only to find my
wheel is cracked.  It's the rear passenger side wheel.  The crack is on the
inside edge and extends approx. 1" into the wheel.  It still holds air but
how concerned should I be?  And does anyone have a stock 17" chrome plated
aluminum wheel, circa 1994 they would like to sell, or where could I get
one?

As an aside, I have been meaning to go down to the strip to see what my
vehicle would do in a ¼ mile but haven't got around to it.  Does anyone have
a good feel for what my vehicle would run (see mods below)?  Color me
curious?
