dam sorry to hear, and its suprising that more and more Cossi cams are having issues,, i ran my M2's for long time, bought them back in late 07 early 08 i think !,,, and never heard of issues back then , seems like now issues are arrising all over.

COMP cams FP's would be my choise.

Agreed! Glad I bought the FP4R's for my car. They're one of the few MIVEC camshafts that haven't been snapping. GSC, Cosworth, and Kelford have all had numerous failures. I believe they're all using new cores though (except the GSC S1's) so you could ask Cosworth for a replacement set made with the new cores.

I hope they replace his money for the M3's and you would hope they would assume responsibility for the damages or at least a percentage,, however we all know how that works.

Kraka,, did you see net gains on the FP's ? , i know COMP cams are #1 choice in many performance cars,, and in here in many fast drag evos

Oh ya lol... wasn't going to post that yet lol. That is my oil cooler. Side exit exhaust FTW!
It is a dual pass aluminum with a much better flow and pressure than the setrab or mocal.

Damn man sorry to hear that! Beautiful setup. I've heard of this being a somewhat common problem on the 9's with various cams.

BTW that clutch you sold me is awesome! Thanks so much!

Yes thank you. Glad the clutch was working out for you.


The oil cooler works so well and is cheaper to create than the MAP or AMS and works a lot better.
