So I broke down cause of you jerkheads and called Dave at Motor Works West yesterday and they had a new rear dif. sitting in stock waiting for an M6 late next week. Well, I wasn't having any of that and we agreed that it would be best if the M6 waited and I got it first. So, I just dropped my beast off at MWW and while I was there I figured I'd have them *finally* remove my charcoal filters and install a front strut brace. (If I'm going to hear a whining, when will it happen?)

I'll report more later when I pick it up, but I just wanted to say I hate everyone here, and you should all pay my credit card bills...

Your the one who caved in to the mod bug, that's your own problem...:grinyes:

Well, All I can say is good luck. I took my M5 back to my installer to have the Dif oil changed. They drove the car and said they can hear the whine or whirl that I was talking about, but they said it was reasonable. Thus, I will drive it like i always do, and at the end of the warranty period, if it is still there, I will have them replace it on their nickel.
The slight noise that I had ocurred on deceleration mainly at two speed differentials (80 to 70, and 50 to 40).


Regards,


JDS M5

I've got a section 2 eisenmann pipe and the eisenmann race ovals in already. If I was serious about tracking the car I'd first put myself on a heavy diet and then go for the throttle bodies and headers (which I'll eventually do, naturalich)...

Next up will be the stage 2 suspension sans bumpers and springs. Andrew and Neil are raving. Coupled with the front strut and maybe the rear, this should make her go-fast more complete.

good work david !! im very proud of you ,, yes you may have a little whine but the performance quicklly makes you forget about it..dont even think whine drive it for a couple of mo's and when they fix the problem have them exchange it,,just enjoy it for now..

and you know what they say a glass of whine a day is good for you ..

Wowzers...So they installed the Rear dif, the front strut, and removed the filters. Next week they're doing the stage 2 suspension install (minus the springs/bumpers)...Car feels like a new girl - MUCH more responsive. I'm sure others have said it, but P400 feels like P500, P500 like P500S, and P500S is too scary to use:) Gonna wait until it is dark out to go try some launches...Nice upgrades for sure. (something like 4600$ for labor + parts [inclusive of freight, diff oil, 1200 mile service, etc.])
