I need a new clutch for my TT. I am wondering if anybody in the Charlotte area might want to help out. Ideally someone who has done several clutch's, has tools, a great place to work on a car, and we could wrap it up in a day.
I only have the apartment parking lot to work from and about half the tools needed. Hell I will even do all the work you can just sit back and pass along your experience. If anybody can help out let me know. ]]> Carolina 3S rrjohnso2000 http://www.3si.org/forum/f105/interest-helping-clutch-swap-479615/ http://www.3si.org/forum/f105/map-carolina-3s-members-479564/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:32:54 GMT It was brought up by a member do I decided to do it. Found a cool site that uses gogle maps for the map.

Map of Carolina 3S members

Just click on 'Additions' then 'Add Marker'

A window pops up and you can add kinds of info. For safety of yourself and your home, I would just click on the map in a genral area not your exact address. Just move the pop-up window out of the way and click on the map. The long and lat will show up in the window and you can preview the marker. After you click submit a new window pops up with a link for making future edits to your location. I just laved the link to favorites by right clicking on it. So if you move you can change the location later.

Have fun and fill up the map.

Added a feature for out of the group people(inspired by jackhammer). Click on 'Map' then 'Legend' to see which color marker to use. It will help make things look nicer and remember I can always go and change it if you dont follow the rules, HAHHAHAH. If your region doesnt have an assigned color then just pick a random one and I'll update the legend later. ]]> Carolina 3S TheOmniscientRT http://www.3si.org/forum/f105/map-carolina-3s-members-479564/ http://www.3si.org/forum/f105/sohc-engine-479544/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:00:56 GMT may need a sohc engine in good shape, mine is still not working, and cant figure out why, so may just take out and replace, lmk thanks may need a sohc engine in good shape, mine is still not working, and cant figure out why, so may just take out and replace, lmk thanks ]]> Carolina 3S rubix_cube http://www.3si.org/forum/f105/sohc-engine-479544/ http://www.3si.org/forum/f105/map-479469/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:11:30 GMT Has anyone done one of those maps that i see in other chapters Va and Pa got one.

And the turn out and generosity of Spartanburg & Greenville people
was amazing despite it being freezing cold!!

Well... We decided to host another winter cruise-in,
this year we teamed up with the US Marine Corps to host Toys for Tots
event. Help collect toys for less fortunate children for Christmas.

If you’re already out at Westgate Cruising, this will give you a place
To park and chill, and not get ran off by police/security.

All Makes and Models Welcome! Bikes Too!

All we ask for in return is you bring a new toy with you.
It can be A $3.00 Lego or My Lil Pony if that’s all you can afford.
Anything is better than nothing to an unprivileged child on xmas day.
Open your heart, and come out and help us make this another
great event!!

Sears Auto Center, Westgate Mall Spartanburg SC
November 21st 6.00pm till 10-11pm

We hope to see you all there!!

I added a new amp for my sub, and switched the amp that was running my sub to run my front speakers. The new sub amp is the Polk/Momo C500.1 Carbon Series Mono Block, and ho-ly-sh-it did it make a difference! My bass hits so damn loud now that my head actually hurt from tuning it (with the doors open and windows down nonetheless). Thankfully, it came with a remote adjustment knob, so I can back it down and turn it up as I please. So now, I have the Boss Special Edition 2Ch running my fronts, the Polk/Momo running my Kicker CVR12, Pioneer 3 ways in the doors and rears, and a Volfenhag 2 Farad Cap helping push the amps. I ran all new ground points, re-ran my RCA's for zero chance of interference/noise, and removed the psgr seat and finally ran every single wire under the carpet and under the rear seats. What a damn difference a cleanup/reorganization job made...I wonder what I'll hit at the SPL comps now? hehe :D ]]> Carolina 3S DJ_X_Factor http://www.3si.org/forum/f105/so-loud-hurts-477860/ http://www.3si.org/forum/f105/never-try-save-money-get-tires-477800/ Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:12:21 GMT This is a word of advice... NEVER try to save money while getting tires, especially to have them put them on as well... Lets just say my front left tire decided to divorce my car while I was going about 40 MPH. Tire shot like a dang rocket (luckily not hitting anyone) and I pulled off the road, riding on my rotor, and I ended up having to crawl out of my window, because my door wouldn't open because my fender was smashed in. There was NO vibrations before-hand, just driving down the road, next thing I know I am able to fully see my tire, then the car dropped.

Was able to get the tire back on the car, found 4/5 lugnuts, and the last lugnut was taken off another tire (by the way... we were able to take the lugnut off the other tire by HAND... it was "snug")

Called the tire place (some no-name place on Franklin BLVD in Gastonia) and they tried to blame me for "being an unexperienced driver", basically playing games with me. Called again this afternoon and we told them the damage of my car, and we were told to bring the car in tomorrow to have them look at it. Ive already made my mind up - They are going to buy me a new fender, new rotor, repaint my ground kit (black tire mark), and they WILL repaint my caliper yellow again. LOL If they refuse, they will have a court date to attend to.

Pictures are soon to come, just wanted to share my story. ]]> Carolina 3S jbeard1 http://www.3si.org/forum/f105/never-try-save-money-get-tires-477800/ http://www.3si.org/forum/f105/blue-smoke-take-off-any-suggestions-477713/ Wed, 28 Oct 2009 22:08:16 GMT I just replaced my IAC motor this morning, completely fixed the idleing prob. didn't touch anything else, but when I got home noticed oil press. dropped alot during idle, however looks fine during normal driving...also now blows a bit of blueish smoke at take off...any suggestions as to cause and maybe cure??

This morning I woke up to a quite "pleasant" surprise... My window seal would trickle when it would rain really hard, but I never saw it as an issue... This morning I woke up, headed off to class, and I heard a "sloshing" sound in my back seat behind the driver seat... So I pulled over in a parking lot, and sure enough I had about 1 1/2 inches of water sitting in the floorboard. To make matters worse, my alternator was sitting in the water, and some other items. I took out the alternator quickly, and ran to mcdonalds, got a good chunk of napkins and slapped em in there. They didnt help much, but I will dry it out when I get home..

I did some research to buy an upper window seal, and to my surprise, they were about 90 bucks at 3sx which really kinda seems crazy... Does anyone have a spare one or one they dont use? Also should I be worried about my alternator? :mad::mad::mad::mad:
