#2. Road America & Engine Reset - from andytk@speakeasy.net

Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2001 06:20 -0700 From: andytk@speakeasy.net Subject: Road America & Engine Reset Is anyone going to Road America May 5,6th that has a check engine light reset that I could steal for a minute or two??? I'm getting my autopower rollbar tomorrow and will be doing the install at work (I'll report on my experiences especially since it only takes about 4 weeks to get the thing after ordering instead of 6 months), but wanted to rip out the passenger seat and leave it at home, I know this will trip the light...BTW, taking out the rear seat pieces does not trip the air bag sensors which I guess makes sense since there aren't any air bags back there!

I got a ticket yesterday and it read that I was clocked with Lidar. Is that laser or is that a new kind of detection? If its laser then I understand why my V1 didn't go off (I didn't get the laser detection option) but if it isn't, how come I didn't even get a beep? Alex "HyperM3" Demsky

#5. Opinions on Manual Brake Bleeders? - from Geof McLaughlin
Top
Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2001 10:39:28 -0400 From: Geof McLaughlin <gfmiiilist@usa.net> Subject: Opinions on Manual Brake Bleeders? I have been bleeding my brakes for years now using the Easi-bleed system. I was wondering however how the manual pump brake bleeders compare. Can anyone provide their experience? In particular, I'm looking at the BavAuto brake bleeder (too lazy to build my own). What I don't like about the Easi-bleed system is that it requires hooking it up to a tire to get the necessary pressure while the manual system obviously just requires a few pumps. This requires bleeding air from the tire to get it down to a reasonable pressure and then having to reinflate the tire which is a mild pain in the ass. However, my concern with the manual brake bleeder is that it leaves too much brake fluid behind when finished bleeding. Is this true? Geof

Well yeah, you might have to suction some excess fluid out with a baster. I'm sure it won't put you into a rest home to do it. Of course, if you built one or modified the cap like I did to add a tube extension to the fill line, it would suction all the excess fluid out automatically. If you order the BavAuto unit, be sure to remind them to steal that idea too.

#9. At the Track: Impressions of the UUC Swaybars (Long) - from Steve Sun
Top
Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2001 12:26:39 -0500 (CDT) From: Steve Sun <stevesun@midway.uchicago.edu> Subject: At the Track: Impressions of the UUC Swaybars (Long) I took my car to the track for the first time since installing these swaybars. I have the front set in the middle position, and the back set at soft. During the very first run of day, the track was very damp since it had just rained overnight. On turn 3 (at Gingerman Raceway), I hit the apex and laid down the power on exit. I felt the rear starting to come around, and I counter-steered to correct. Too late. I went into a full spin and went off the track. My first thought was...this is AWESOME! I've never felt power-on-oversteer like this before, and I can only attribute it to the swaybars. As the track dried out, the car became very predictable with a lot less understeer than before. Actually, the handling is almost neutral. If I went into a corner to hot, the front end will still plow, but once I began to get on the throttle, the understeer goes away and I can steer the car using the gas pedal. The rear comes around much better now. With 235's all around, the understeer is almost gone. I highly recommend these bars to anyone looking to reduce understeer at the track. If you're a beginner though, I'd recommend that you learn to drive on the track first on a stock suspension, or if you must, set the front bar at full stiff and the rear at soft. Steve 99 M3
