#1. Re: LTW Flywheel Install Questions - from Roger Baker

Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 17:13:38 -0700 From: Roger Baker <rbaker@velodyne.com> Subject: Re: LTW Flywheel Install Questions The dual mass flywheel's springs & 2 part assembly usually do more for keeping the tranny quiet than damp the crank, although it will have some effect on the crank. Also, the flywheel end of the crank is damped by the load of tranny/drivetrain/vehicle, where the front end is damped only by the harmonic damper & minutely by the belts/accessories.

I am very sorry for this but unfortunately, my hands are tied until they get the damn things on a boat and get them here. I will hold my offer for the Racing Dynamics bars open if any of you wish to change, otherwise we'll just wait on Eibach. I wish I had better news for all of you waiting on these, but I thought I should let you know this. Thanks, Rob Top Notch Auto Accessories

#7. [Q] Disposing of Used Brake Fluid - from Ron Buchalski
Top
Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2000 02:16:39 GMT From: "Ron Buchalski" <rbuchals@hotmail.com> Subject: [Q] Disposing of Used Brake Fluid With all the recent talk about changing brake fluid, I'm curious to find out what is the recommended way to dispose of used brake fluid. My experience: I took my used brake fluid to the dump along with used motor oil and used antifreeze. They gladly accepted the oil and antifreeze, but had no way to collect the brake fluid. The attendant recommended lining a cardboard box with plastic, filling it with dirt, pouring the brake fluid into the dirt, and sealing the box shut. Yeah, right! I put the used brake fluid into the empty brake fluid containers and disposed of them in the household waste dumpster. I know it's not right, but they left me with no choice. I'd rather have it sitting in the dump than sitting in my garage.

"Alameda county household hazardous waste collection program" I think its called. They are open 2 weekends a month and you can bring them any crap you can come up with. (although your not supposed to transport more than 15 gallons at a time :) they ask what each one is and then label it and group the stuff. btw, its free.

#9. HFM screens - from Paul Elliott
Top
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 23:15:44 -0400 From: "Paul Elliott" <pelliott@rcn.com> Subject: HFM screens Did anyone read the latest Autospeed article on finding and eliminating negative boost in the intake system? Specifically, he found that by removing the HFM screens, he reduced the intake restrictions he had found by about 20%! I didnt read of the potential negative side effects which must result, except for a mention about the possibility of debris which gets past the filter sneaking into the turbo or engine, and ruining your day. What are some of the real problems with removing them? I've heard that one thing these screens do is to straighten the air...But I've also heard that they add turbulence to the air! I doubt both can be true....For a 20% reduction in negative boost, is it worth it? Thanks. _____________________________ Paul Elliott '99 Alpine White M3; <20000 mi; Forged M dbl-spokes; Rotex pads; Dinan Stage II Supercharger; Stygar Short Shift Kit and clutch stop; Skaags pedals

I'm gonna measure the intake drops this weekend. I just got my new electronic pressure sensors in :-). The screen that they removed was a little more gnarly than ours is I think. I'll publish the results of my data (of course they will be ampified by the turbo's intake..) -Matt --- Paul Elliott <pelliott@rcn.com> wrote: > Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 23:15:44 -0400 > From: "Paul Elliott" <pelliott@rcn.com> > Subject: HFM screens > > Did anyone read the latest Autospeed article on > finding and eliminating > negative boost in the intake system?
