That sucks! Is it too late to cancel your order? I'd be worried that you go to have the clutch installed and find out then that there are missing/incorrect parts. Would not be fun

Well the delivery date is May 4th- May 11th so technically they are still in a good status. I’ve been trying to call this company to narrow down that window so I can set some time aside to get a appointment set up for the clutch install. I’ve called everyday since last week few times at different hours with no response I hope this doesn’t go south.

Full Motordyne headers, helmholtz resonated test pipes and resonators at the tips, tuned... my god. I suspect we'd all love to hear a flyby video of that setup under load.

Your mod pace is exhausting, and impressive. And yet my takeaway is how I think your new oil pan is really attractive, which is probably weird of me, but still... cool pan (no pun).

No STS on this car?

I have a few Dyno vids but they don’t do justice on how this exhaust sounds. I wanted the car to respond accordingly and I wasn’t about to waste my money on a M3/ German car at that. Short Throw Shifter (STS?) I just purchased the one from torque solutions hopefully it performs well. Daddy Fat Sacks has it on his car and i think he’s a reputable Forum member here. Next big mods for me are 2 piece rotors and OS Giken LSD maybe 4.08 gears but i have plans of force induction down the road. Thanks for the kind words means a lot from an OG.

Can you post some more pics.... I am mulling over going back to stock duckfeet and I think your car may give me the push I need. Looks fantastic

Duckfeet are a lot less fugly when the car is dropped, and spacers push them out 15 or 20mm.

Well looks like I’ll be placing a new order in for a clutch ( OS GIKEN TR2A) . Other company isn’t returning emails and phone calls ( sounds familiar right ) but I’ll be going through a company recommended by OS Giken. Clutch should be better suited for my application as well compared to the Grand Touring clutch I originally purchased.

Is there any drone at highway speeds with the Motordyne Exhaust?

Negative, I often find myself downshifting to a lower gear just to hear my exhaust when cruising at a steady speed.

Order has been placed. I’m excited for this different setup up I’m going with.



I should be getting this sometime next week. OS Giken and Evasive Mortsports was able to pull some strings for me

Avoid Factory D Racing this is the Vendor who went MIA on me.

Can’t wait, I think with the RJM pedal it should be very interesting feel. If anything 1st gear might be a lil tricky but after I start getting into other gears it should be fine. I drive a clutch master 4 puck disk in my Sentra shouldn’t be any worse than that lol
