Team3S: Off-Topic: Note to Texas DFW area members
Please do not respond
to this post since it is indeed non-technical and
therefore
off-topic.
This is an event notice for those of you who may live within
driving
distance of Dallas Texas and wish to meet and greet other owners in
this
area.
There is a growing contingent of 3/S owners becoming more
"active" in the
Dallas/FortWorth Texas region (and beyond). We have had
several moderate
size gatherings this year of 15-20 owners. There will
be a larger gathering
that will coincide with a "NOPI Race Wars" event at the
Dallas Texas
Motorplex located in Ennis Texas during the weekend of
April 12 & 13.
Please reference the following links for additional
information.

Team3S: steering play ??
Hi,
I am experiencing
play in the steering but it really only has an
effect when I'm going between
70 and 75. I can feel the play when I'm
going slower than that if I
turn the steering wheel back and forth, but
when I'm going between 70 and 75
or so it really loosens up. It makes
things kind of uncomfortable and
the front even shakes a little. I'm
planning on having it looked at,
but I want to have somewhat of an idea
might be wrong with it. Does
anyone know of a common problem with the
front end that could be causing
this? Anyone experienced this? Thanks
a
bunch.

Team3S: wiring for TPS
Hi everyone,
Thank you for all the
suggestions. I spoke with the mechanic (who seems to
have given up) -
there is a check engine light pointing to the TPS. Switched
out the
TPS, but still didn't fix it. Mechanic said he wasn't getting good
readings at the TPS (I think with a voltmeter). He says the harness is
bad. I
have three questions:
1) How do I check the wiring to
pinpoint the bad stretch?
2) Does anyone have an extra harness (it's a pig
tail with four horizontal
plugs)? I have tried some junkyards, but to no
avail.
3) How hard would it be to run new wire?
Thank you
again,
Michael

Okay, so I really, really need new tires. I need something cheap

something that can hold its own on the highway. I went to a
discount
tire and they quoted me a total of 660 to get 4 Kumho ECSTA Supra
712,
which he later brought down to 560 installed. That works out to
~140/
tire + tax.
Two questions - is that a good price and is that a
good tire.
Tirerack quotes 96/each for those, but they need to be

still...

it up with
the 92 chrysler paint codes. The paint code is on the plate under
the hood.
Plate has mitsubishi logo, would it be a mitsubishi paint code? I
have no
idea on this subject, can someone help me out with getting matching
paint. I
got 92 chysler hunter green. Which seems to be a little darker then
what it
was. Someone at chysler told me that there were only two green's.
Hunder and
emerald green. I have seen an emerald green van, not the same

hunter green doesn't match.

Team3S: Re: Paint Codes
Well, I deleted the original email posted about
paint codes, but knew that
I'd seen some interesting web pages before when
searching (endlessly it
seems) for the right touch up paint for my '94
Stealth R/T TT (dark green
exterior). I've seen all kinds of touch up
colors coming close, but never
being right enough for me.
In research,
I found the following, but don't know what of use it may be.
http://www.ftooc.org/contents/pages/faq/paintcodes.htmlSeems
Mitsubishi was didn't understand their own codes. I haven't found
any
retail paint that will do (granted I stopped looking for a while).
Custom
shops may be the only place to get a good match.
If anyone
finds touch up paint available for code G84 (Emerald Pearl Green
per Mitsu,
Hunter Green per Chrysler, and Kielder Green per the above link),
please let
us know.
Thanks,
-Patrick

Subject: RE:

You my friend, are correct...
Tire was run low on air pressure, most
likely damaging the sidewall of the
tire, making it very easy to get
what we call an "impact bruise" Tire
definitely needs replaced... What
type of tire is it??? Sad thing
is, if the other tires are worn more
than 4/32 from new, they will need
replacing too... (and remember, if
you have to replace just the one, it
must be replaced with an identical
tire...)
The damage that occurred,
well, lets see... nylon/polyester/rayon/some
type of fabric cording
runs from one bead (where the rim meets the tire)
to the bead on the other
side of the tire... What's happened, is a
sharp edge has pinched the
bead up against the wheel, cutting a few of
these cords...

I agree that the tire appears to have
been run while severly underpressured,
maybe not flat but awfully low.
I also agree with the recommendation to
replace ASAP. If you can't
afford to replace all four, recommend replacing
at least a
pair.

Yes, definitely splurge and get the Yok
ES100's... Lightyears better
than the Kumho 712's for not much more
money... I can't get prices
right now (seems the web server is down),
but what size are you looking
into???
Things they/we will try
to charge you for
Tire (includes lifetime balancing, rubber valves and
pro-rated road
hazard/defect)
Chrome valves ($1.00 each, and optional -
only if you like the chrome
valve stems)
Disposal Fee/State Required Fees
- depends on the region... We pay money
to dispose of the tires, and in some
areas, the state requires a fee,
again, depending on the area you live
in... You might be able to get
them to take that off
:)
Certificates For Free Replacement - Worth it's money,
definitely...
It's an extra fee, but awesome... If you have to replace
a tire for any
reason other than vandalism, and you have the certificates,
the tire is
free, yes free. Some people choose not to get it, and stick
with the
pro-rated, but, again, it is definitely worth the money. (that
impact
bruise you have would mean a new tire for free right now)
Ride
Match - the cool machine that matches tires to wheels. Not needed
most
of the time, but will pro-long the life of the tire, and make it
ride
better. If you have a vibe problem on your new tires, they will do
this
for free generally, but if you have the cash, it's a good guarantee
no
problems out the door, and the tires will last longer and wear
more
evenly...
Any questions?

I would almost agree, I've run both on the VR4 and
the S02's needed
warming up as well. Once the S03's warm up they're
definitely one of
the best tires I've driven with. Very good wet
traction and awesome
hydroplane resistance. They're a bit pricy yes but
I've been impressed
enough that I'll purchase them again when
needed.

really care about is putting tires on... It's not our
money, and we
don't get paid commission, so we'll do whatever it takes to
make the
customer happy (and a fair price is one of them)...
What size
tire, again?
Those goodyears are junk BTW...

Tire choices
Just the person I wanted to hear from =)
I have 17x8
rims that had Goodyear F1 245 45 on them. So I want to try
and stay in that
range. Tirerack quotes 96 for the kumhos and 112 for
the yokos... I think
I'll go with the yokos.
Does discount match tirerack
prices?
Thanks,
Alex.

I already responded to this, but I will
elaborate....
Discount Tire includes a whole crapload of stuff TireRack
can't think
about including... Rotations, Flat Repairs, Warranties,
Balancing
(lifetime), Valve stems, etc... Not to mention you don't
pay
shipping...
For Instance:
245/45-17
Tire Rack sells the BFG
T/A KDW for $169/tire
Discount Tire Direct sells the same (but oddly it's not
listed on the
website)
Discount Tire Co. Sells the same for $188/tire,
installed, total
Tire racks price does not include shipping ($8-$12 per
tire),
installation ($7-$15 per tire), valve stems ($2 each),
lifetime
balancing ($10/tire), nor any other free services DTC offers.
Soooo...
$169 plus $10 shipping, plus $8 installation, plus $10 balancing,
plus
$2 valve stem = $199 / tire once we're done installing them, and
then
there is no warranty on the tire other than manufacturers
pro-rated
defect. DTC has pro-rated road hazard with every
tire...
Discount Tire Co. is cheaper, across the board in most instances,
and
when we're not, we still beat the other price no matter what it
takes...

Team3S: Tranny and T-Tops
my 91 vr-4 has 146,000 miles on it and it has
started grinding when I try
and put it in first gear. All other gears
go in smothly with the exception
of first. + if I try and put the car
in 1st if the car is moving at all it
grinds. I'm thinking it is
probably the 1st gear sincro. what do you guys
think...? If it is, how
do I fix it and how hard is it to replace?
Also, has anyone thought about
putting T-Tops or those 1 piece tops ( the
ones that go all the way across
like on the supra in "the fast and the
furious" ) on you cars? I wonder
how much it would cost and if it would
affect the stability of the cars
structure...
thanx

Team3S: Labor Prices
I have a 1991 R/T TT AWD Stealth. I recently
ordered all the parts I need from Mitsupartsdirect, however, I have not got them
put on. The parts I ordered includes; struts, bellows boots, right front
lower control arm, rear wheel bearings, and last but not least...brake
pads. (The struts support active suspension) I know that getting the
bearings pressed or whatever they have to do there is going to be the most
expensive part of my labor bill. I also am aware that I could get hub
assemblies and probably end up paying less in the long run. These are the
parts I am working with though. With this in mind, how much should I
expect to pay for labor to get these parts put on my car? Labor in central
Missouri runs about $37 an hour. I guess I just need to know how long this
all should take. The bellows boots are for the inner tierods. (that
is probably spelled wrong)
Thanks,
Carol Decker

Team3S: Dash
I know where to go to get the material for my dash tear down
to install gauges. However, if I do not have to get new gauges I am happy
with the stock ones. The problem with my current gauges is that they only
work half way. For instance the heat guage...I bet if the car were to
overheat it would read hot dead center. My oil pressure guage is the same
way, as well as my boost gauge. I was wondering if anyone has ever
had a similar problem, and if so...do you know how to fix it? If I have to
install new gauges I will when I put in my new heat vents. Also, if
someone has pictures of their new gauges installed sucessfully that are not
stock I would like to see them. My car is black with black interior,
therefore, I would like to keep black faced gauges. I think it looks
better. I don't want to have to do any custom cutouts to fit new gauges
in. I hope this made sense.
Thanks,

homelink Q
97 (I think) and up cars can be equpped with the homelink
system. It used to
work well until I got new garage door openers. It
learns the code fine so it
seems, as I follow the instructions. The doors
just dont open. The car manual
says it may not work with all systems, but
does anyone know a way around
this? Is the signal band of the homelink not
wide enough to get my new opener
signal fully? I would rather not have to
carry a clunky opener. thank you

Subject: RE:
Team3S: Tranny and T-Tops
Structure is the key question here. First to
say that anything is possible.
The Spyders were shipped to the US as hardtops
and a shop in Cali chopped
off the top and made a convertible. From what I
hear there is quite a bit of
stuff under the car to make the frame stay in
one shape though... Weight,
ack! The Targa top (like Supra) you are talking
about would certainly be a
challenge because you are removing part of the
roof completely. The car's
shape works like an egg shell to support itself so
doing a change like that
is a bad idea. However T-tops is something I have
been thinking about for
more than 2 years now. Given small tops and some
reinforcement to the roof
only it should be doable. I have yet to see or hear
of anyone doing this.
Give it a shot, do a write-up, send
pictures.
