Subject: Re: Team3S:
Airbag
It probably means you have a wireing problem of some kind ---
going off
after 7 seconds is correct, staying on means there is a problem
with the
SRS system.
The OBDI or II saves error codes for the SRS
system but you can't read
them without a scan device. The dealer could read
it and tell you what the
problem is but he'll probably want $75 to hook up
the scan tool.

Almost certainly not. The current generations of the Lancer EVO
have the
4G63 mounted "backwards" from our configuration. The tranny is
on the
driver's side of the engine compartment.
Check out page 8 in
this PDF (it is 1.7 MB in size though!):
http://www.mitsubishi-motors.co.jp/PDF-E/evo7.pdf
...even
though you can't see the tranny at all, you can see that the
engine
compartment is configured reverse from ours.

Yes it does have sensitivity adjustment, the top LED is
very bright, you
can't miss it if mounted correctly.
There's no audible
warning but then when I'm on the dragstrip there's
normally a V8 behind me
with no exhaust and I've got a helmet on.

RE: Team3S: Need a sunroof for 1993 Dodge Stealth R/T
I had a mixed, but
ultimately good experience with M&S on my ECU. First
time I called,
nobody answered. Encouraged by Jim Floyd, I tried again and
they were
really helpful in finding exactly the right ECU and arranging to
have it
shipped to satan to install it. They asked how I heard about them
and
told me about a 10% 3Si discount. Then the thing shipped late
and
arrived late, but that was okay. It didn't arrive with a call tag
to return
the old ECU for the core charge, they had my home address wrong,
and the 10%
discount wasn't applied. I called back to get it fixed and
got a runaround
at first. I called back and talked to another
guy, and he corrected
everything. In summary, the ECU works fine, the
deal was good, but if you
are having trouble, I suggest keep calling until
you get it resolved.
Sometimes they seem to be having a bad day.

RE: Team3S: RE: Preventative Maintenance on Suspension
IMHO - the stock
hubs/bearings should be replaced around 90K miles. The
front hubs are
integral with the bearings. You might consider new
struts/shocks. It's
hard to tell when they are bad because the springs are
pretty stiff. I
haven't replaced any other suspension components like ball
joints and
bushings, and that's on one VR4 over 110K, one over 90K, and one
over
70K.

Team3S: Cracked wheel
I wonder if any of you have experience with this:
After hitting a
pothole last April, I cracked one of my 18" Chrome VR4 wheels
at the
factory weld on the rim (I bent it too).
wheelcollison.com says
that they will not repair a wheel like this
because it is a factory
defect.
Has anyone seen this and/or had something like this
repaired?
I have pictures if anyone wants to see
them.

Team3S: Connecting stuff to ECM pins
How important is it, when tapping
signals off the ECM harness (RPM, IDC, O2,
etc.) for gauges and controllers,
to ground the new device to the ECU ground
as well?
For example, if I
connect an A/F gauge to the front O2 sensor pin on the
ECM, do I need to
connect the ground for the gauge to the ECM ground pin (13
or 26)?
I'm
concerned about overloading the ECM wiring by connecting too many
things
=)
Is the ECM electrically isolated from the other electronics
of the vehicle
such that connecting a sensor device to an ECM pin and
grounding the device
to the chassis would cause problems?
Thanks,

And, as I

a pie
shaped chunk missing from it with the banner stating "This wheel can
be
repaired!"
And, Car and Driver magazine says that they do nice
work, as do others that
have had wheels repaired there.

But....but....but.... Your car is too nice to have the
front end dragging
on the ground at 70 MPH when the wheel decides to
fracture. Hopefully you
aren't turning or braking at the time (but of
course that's exactly when the
wheels are stressed the most).
Think
about it...
It is your choice, but I don't think anyone is going to
recommend that you
reuse a cracked wheel. Especially with a big heavy
car like ours.
Once you have a crack, it doesn't take long for it to
spread. You are only
seeing the surface crack - there's more beneath
the surface.

Team3S: Stalling
MY 93 Stealth is stalling out at low idle. This is
not a constant problem.
Sometimes it does it sometimes it don't. I
think the possible problem is
the alternator, when this problem happens and
choke the engine out, my
voltage drops down to 10V and I have to rev it up to
1200rpm to get it up to
13v at least. Sense the alternator is SO
expensive I could use a second
opinion.
It's been tested before but
pass.

Does anyone know what it would take to convert a TT engine

let's just say I may need
to raise the ground clearance of the engine.
We can talk about that later.
