Re Team3S: Fog Light Suggestions
I installed PIAA Fog Light bulbs in my
1997 VR-4 and they are incredible. Much brighter than the stock
bulbs.
They were also an excellent compliment to the bright white bulbs,
just like you installed, that I installed in my low and
high
beams.
Hope this helps

Fog Light Suggestions
Hey All,
Recently I installed a set of xenon
bulbs into the H4 light assembly for my
91 3000GT SL. They look awesome
and light up the road wonderfully, but my 12
year old foglights look
extremely dim and dirty compared to the bright clean
headlights. Does
anyone know of a xenon replacement bulb that would work in
the existing
foglight casing? And if not does anyone recommend a particular
brand of
foglights that would match xenon headlights? Thanks for your
help!

Hi ,
My name is Yvonne
We are
in Germany, Military. I bought a stealth from a nother soldier here in
germany. Have a big Prob. with my Breaks. 8 month ago i replaced the whole
system with new original dodge parts. now i have shaking in high speed
again. they reservest the disc and put new pads on but that didnt
help. then
they changed some kind of stering bearings or something
like that. no good.
the person that fixes my car got a masters degree and he

a 94 and i really
like my car, spend a lot of money on 18 inch rims ans had
dragons custum made
for my hood. but if i dont get my breaks under controll
i have to get rith of
the car. Iam german and i love the autobahn, which can
be deadly with my
breaks. hope anybody would have an idea.

Team3S: Re Shaking German Brakes
If you have shaking at high speeds, I
can't help you.
If the shaking occurs under braking at high speeds, then
here are some
things to check:
First, examine the rotors carefully.
Look through the wheel spokes and
see if the rotors are wearing evenly. They
should be shiny and smooth all
the way across -- no ridges, no rust. Reach in
and feel both sides of the
rotor with your fingertips to see if the rotor
surface is smooth. If you
feel ridges or see rust, the pads may not be seated
properly, or the
caliper may be sticking. You may just need a new set of
pads.
Get a dentist mirror and a flashlight and make sure you have plenty
of
pad left. Just poke the mirror through the wheel spokes. Be sure to
check
both sides, because the inner pads always seem to wear down first.
If the rotor feels smooth and you have plenty of pad depth, then
I
suspect you have warped the rotors again. As I understand it,
Germans
resurface brake rotors without removing the rotor from the car. Yuk.
If
that's how it was done, take the car somewhere else, have the
rotors
removed and resurfaced properly, and reinstall the rotors with a new
set
of pads. Make sure the rotors have not reached throwaway depth
(1.118
in.)
Remember that you can warp stock rotors with ONE high
speed braking
incident. If you slam on the brakes at 150 mph, it's possible
to warp a
set of front rotors. You can also warp rotors by braking
incorrectly. The
worst possible thing is to "ride" the brakes down long
hills, or to
gently apply them over a long stopping distance, because they
will get
very hot. It's better to hit them hard for a brief time than it is
to
gently apply them for a long time. If you drive in an area with lots
of
hills, and you drive hard through there, you may have to upgrade
your
brakes with a set of Porterfield R4S pads, and get some cooling air
to
the brakes.
The next time you buy a new set of rotors, take them
somewhere to have
them cryogenically treated. It costs $20 per rotor to have
it done here
in the U.S., so it will probably cost you $50 per rotor in
Germany. See
http://www.cryoeng.com/motorsports.html
After the rotors are
cryogenically treated, they will not warp. Well, mine
don't warp, anyway.

Re: Team3S: Average Monthly Cost Question
Does this happen driving or
upon applying the brakes? Have you recently
traveled over roads with
potholes? If it is without application of the
brakes then
............. Have you had your wheels aligned and balanced
lately? Some of the chrome wheels lose their weights very easily.
Happened to me ......... a lot of shaking at 100kph. Check that
out first.

Team3S: HOW TO SET THE IGNITION TIMING CORRECTLY
Hi All,
I started
the engine and run at idle around 900 rpm then I grounded the
terminal for
adjustment of ignition timing and also grounded the terminal
inside near
fuses console box but see what happen the rpm decrease till 500
rpm I did not
adjusted BISS to set up to 750 rpm since I do not want the rpm
will go up
over than 900 rpm after setting the ignition timing done. By
ignition timing
light I checked the timing and setting at 5 deg. BTDC.
Setting the timing at
5 deg. BTDC I have turned CAS.
After that I ungrounded the terminal
adjustment of ignition timing, look
what happen the rpm go to 900 rpm and the
timing at T (top dead center).
In my question, why the timing changed to T
(TDC) not at 5 deg. BTDC as I
set before. As manual said that it must be at 5
deg. BTDC and the rpm around
750 rpm.
If I set the timing incorrectly
please help me how to set the ignition
timing correctly and I would the rpm
run at 750 rpm.
Kindly regards,
