Hey Brad have you been able to take a look at my car? Do you think there is any way to adjust the clutch so it slips a little more, instead of an on of switch. I know you can adjust the previous evo's, but i think the clutch master cylinder is different in an x. Tony did take it out to install that ams clutch master cylinder ring from ams. I wonder if it could not be adjusted right.

I was gone Monday and Tuesday and Tony left for florida on Thursday so its been a busy week. Tony did drive it Thursday for a bit but of course, no sounds. Im going to try to get out in it tomorrow for a bit. I hate to drive your car anywhere away from the shop but ill get to it.

I'll look into the clutch pedal adjustment also. Sometimes clutches just dont allow for slipping but we might be able to make some adjustments so its better.

I am getting kind of tired of seeing that AMG all the time!!! Besides, if you think you come around the shop a lot, someone one this thread has you beat.... ehmmm Ryan....

Thats the part of this job that I enjoy. The cars are beautiful and the customer base is really cool. Makes it hard to work when Id rather talk to everyone when they come in.

Crashway,

I got a chance to drive the car on Monday. Only noise it made was on decel over 40 MPH and it was a loud whine. Not the usual awd whine. Barelly push the clutch in and it was gone. I think we're going to need to tear it down to get to the root of it. Feel free to call up and talk to Tony and see what he has in mind.

That shop is called TiC. Thats probably the only shop within a 5 hour drive I would trust to even look at my car. They also are very patient with me

Brad...................

Anyone in the area own or know someone that owned an e46 M3? Looking to possibly get one for the wife but she wants to test drive one first. Would be greatly appreciated!

My neighbor has one (although its track prepped so that would be fairly useless to drive) and my buddy has one, but he goes to Miami U.. Try Enthusiast auto on reading rd. They have tons of them on the lot.
