Payne, I installed a new clutch in my car about 4 weeks ago, 51,000 miles car # 11004. I used to feel the clutch was weak and was engaging a little of the top. I adjusted the top of the peddle screw for more travel but after installing the new clutch, it grabs a little off the bottom with plenty of travel at the top. No, clutch peddle adjustment needed. My feeling is if you need more adjustment than what the screw allows at the top, then you may be ready for a new clutch. The new adjustment peddle linkage that Gradys sells may be great to have, but if it's needed, you may be covering up a problem before it happens. Clutches won't last forever. If you keep driving the car and the clutch is slipping, then when it goes you may hurt the flywheel which will cost more money.

Apparently this has come to pass. Last week I went to tirerack.com to order a set and discovered to my dismay that (unlike 3 weeks earlier) the front tires are no longer available (as of today they still have the rears). I called the friendly people at Tirerack.com and they said that the tire was discontinued and they could no longer get new stock. They gave me the customer service number at Yokohama Tires, who confirmed this claim. They said they were receiving a lot of irate calls. I asked if a replacement tire was in the works. They replied that they thought so, but have received no concrete information. They said that this suggests that a new product was at least a year away. In a mild panic, I started calling around everywhere. Things were looking grim until I finally called my local Sears Auto Center, who were able to special order a set of 4 tires, which I just picked up. Sooo, if you will be needing tires soon, you might want to act quickly. --pete lucas VIN #06703 ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 3 Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2001 20:57:43 -0000 From: jeremysmail@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: TV Sighting - Car & Driver TV TNN Today!

This years event is packed full of great attendance prizes, tech sessions, food and friends. Like the 1999 event there will be many pre-registration prizes which include door struts, sheepskin seat covers, tool kits, an alternator, and much much more. Also like the previous event we have been envited back to Road Atlanta to take laps before the historical car race. For a chance to be eligable for the attendance prizes registration must be postmarked by Aug. 31. One lucky entry will also recieve free lodging during the event. For more information and online registration please visit www.dmc.tv and click on the cruise-in link about half-way down on the center of the page. A new feature this year allows regisrants to pay by credit card on-line. Please email me with any and all questions that the cruise-in site does not help you with. Thanks and hope to see ya there Sean seanm@xxxxxxxxxx ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 5 Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2001 08:16:11 +0800 From: "ian" <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Eurofest Photos of Test Track DMLers, Just wanted to say a public thank you to David Swingle for allowing me to use some of his Belfast Eurofest photos. I've decided to send a letter to the Belfast Mayor (cc to Planning Dept. and Tourism Board) pointing out what a lost opportunity it would be if they allowed the Test Trak to be destroyed. As well as being an asset for the local communities in terms of matured landscaped open space, it is also a unique industrial heritage feature for N.Ireland, and a possible tourist curiosity. A letter to the Mayor can't hurt especially as the city is presently carrying out the 'Metro-plan' identifying such landmark and urban design features and opportunities. There is also ample space around the factory for their required extension. Those who attended Eurofest and took photos at the track, did anyone capture me driving my (reg. ANZ 2047) DeLorean? I'd really like a jpeg!
