Thanks, Slayton - this is
INCREDIBLE artwork! But you must list the
individual files' *complete*
URLs, since members do not have access to the FTP
server on our
website. For example, the first two files in 1997 are:
www.Team3S.com/~rocky46/1997/3000GT.JPGwww.Team3S.com/~rocky46/1997/M30GT.JPGGeoff's
speedtoys server is our ISP - please use only Team3S URLs, for
the
Archives.
Great job!!! Thanks! We'll look for your
complete listing of URLs...

Re: Team3S: Tire choices
When you say 'reviews', where are these
reviews coming from. I'd like
to get some independent reviews before
buying again. However, I only
seem to hear of anecdotal reports from
individuals. I do respect the
views and opinions of many individuals,
but unless they've done blinded,
back-to-back comparisons on the same day or
at least same conditions
.... same cars .... their view is only
opinion. Plus, are your driving
needs and style the same as those
testing? Be careful of 'reviews'.

anyone has ever had a similar problem, and if so...do you know how to fix

Doing 120K, should I change Oil Pump?
I am getting ready to do the 120K
service, water pump and timing belt, and
it was recommended by a friend that
it might not be too bad of an idea to
change out the oil pump (rotors), since
it's in the same general area. What
do you guys think?
And by
looking at the engine manual it doesn't seem to be too hard to do, I
was
planning on replacing the oil pump gasket, inner and outer rotors
and
crankshaft gasket , would I need anything else, maybe the relief
spring?
Is it harder to do than it appears in the engine manual, is it
even worth
it?

Tire rack lists user reviews for most (if not all) the tires
they sell.
While they are just that - user reviews, there's a good amount of
them
(the kumhos had >700, the yokos>100), flipping through them gives
you a
good idea.

Basically you can't access the
folders, you have to directly access the files, so if you know the
file names
your set, unfortunatly as a list we only have been told 2 of them... Hope
someone in the
know chimes in

Subject: Team3S: 3KGT is dead
I was driving my 1994
non-turbo 3000GT yesterday. It was running great,
but when I pulled up
at a stop sign and stopped, it died. I then pulled
out and the next time I
stopped it died again. I was near my mechanic's
shop and when I stopped
to turn in there, it died again. He popped the
hood and I started it. It
idled fine. I had just filled the tank with
gas and he put some kind of gas
treatment/fuel injector cleaner in it
and told me to call him if I needed to
be towed in. When I attempted to
leave the parking lot, it died again. By the
time I left there, the only
way to keep it idling was to keep my foot on the
gas. If I let off, it
would die immediately. He thinks that it could be a
dirty throttle body
or a vacuum problem. Any other
suggestions?

Subject: RE:
Team3S: Tire choices
I'm just catching up on this but have had some time
to evaluate the Yoko AVS
ES100 tires for the last two weeks. I highly
recommend them. I was
skeptical at first but have "seen the light" so
to speak.
First off, thanks to Cody for recommending this tire and
encouraging me to
try it out this time instead of choosing the Pirelli P-Zero
as I had before.
This was about $160 each from TireRack (I think the same
from Discount Tire
since they'll price match) and the P-Zero was about $225
each). The P-Zero
has a treadwear of 140 (VERY soft but I was able to
get 30k miles out of
it). The Yoko has a treadwear of 280 (realizing
that not all mfg ratings
are equal) but it performs as if it is a softer
compound than that.
Here we go with some preliminary results:
1. Dry
performance is fantastic.
2. Performance on dry pavement in a turn with some
dirt/dust/small portions
of gravel is quite good (not as good as I've had
with the Pirelli P-Zero).
3. Wet performance is quite good (haven't gone
all-out in the wet yet).
4. Understeer is easily noticeable when it occurs
(note: this means a 20 mph
turn taken at about 45 mph to induce understeer
for testing purposes) - car
was under control throughout the turn and no
squealing of tires could be
heard.
5. Road noise at highway speed is
low. More noise can be heard from the
doors not sealing the windows
against the rubber gasket so it isn't loud by
any means but is slightly more
than the Pirelli P-Zero. I don't look for a
tire with low road noise
though since turning on the radio eliminates that
problem.
6. Cornering
performance is awesome. This was the part I was not believing.
While it
is easy to make the car understeer entering a turn (just take a
90-right at
50 mph and most cars will understeer right through it) but once
the car is IN
the turn (after turning the wheel into the turn) then it was
very hard and
almost impossible to make the car lose grip in a turn with
full throttle
application in second or third gear (manual boost controller
to 13
psi). This, as I said, is about the most important aspect to a tire
and
the one I am most impressed with so far.
Last weekend, Philip Glazatov
took my car for a test drive of a few miles
and can probably add some (brief)
results for the tires although we were not
testing tire performance at that
time (he was trying out my race seat and
harness and also giving his thoughts
on the stock suspension with rear
anti-sway bar upgrade only). But
still, I think he would also give a good
performance rating to them. He
took a small right sweeper at a "good clip"
and the tires did not squeal or
lose cornering traction at all.

Yes,
definitely splurge and get the Yok ES100's... Lightyears better
than
the Kumho 712's for not much more money. <snip>
