I'm gonna need some soon (come summer).... I have so-so >tires now... the UNIROYAL GTH 215/60/14s....they aren't to bad..but not to >sticky. Anyone recommend nice tiers for 14" rims? I have a set of 14" Potenza RE71 V Rated tires from a MKII 91T in the stock sizes with about 4k on them ( mostly on a long trip in the rain - very little wear about 2/32" from installation ) The sizes are 195/60 V14 and 205/60 V14. I am buying a set of 15" wheels and tires ( RE71's ) for it and need to sell these - make me an offer the price I paid is in the tire rack catalog ( remember they are V rated ). Please reply to klingk@aol.com - thanks ------------------------------ From: uunet!netrunner.net!hkphoto (howard kuflik) Date: Fri, 24 Nov 1995 07:50:27 -0500 Subject: bubbles in the radiator Does anyone know why there is bubbles in the radiator headgasket was replaced and the head was shaved level there is no water in the oil.

Where is the email address of Ade, who sent me the window gear thingy? Anyway - Ade (and anyone who can answer this) I eventaully gave up on the lcoal machinists, and mailed the gear clear across the US to an engineer I know in California. I've learned some cool stuff: - - to have the gear cut by a machinist into steel or brass or aluminium or some such would probably not be cost effective. - - to have the gear cut into ABS plastic (stronger than the resin its made out of) may be cost effective, but it would depend on the number made. - - the gears are injection molded, it pressure forced as a liquid into a mold, probably made 100 at a time, at a cost of something like 3 US pennies each. Problem - to set up an injection mold could cost us over 8,000$US!!!!! - - the gears, sans the interior gear teeth, are readily available to me (off-the-shelf nylon stock as my friend (bob) put it). So, what I need to know is: What do the inner gear teeth connect to? How is the gear held on to whatever it connects to? How hard is removing the gear? I'm going to try and find an MR2 in a junkyard here in Virginia and pull the door regulator out and see how it connects. However, I can't promise that I can find one here (I haven't seen one around) and so am hoping that someone out there can help. Maybe someone has a trashed regulator they could mail here, or they could scan and email me the gif/jpeg of or something crazy. Thanks.
