Dang that looks good.
So hot. Can't believe nobody is buying! What the hell.
Looks so good. Mmmmm. That alcantara's condition is so :drool
Do you have the stock wheels? I think that may be a factor of some of the loss of interest. When I was looking for my ZHP, I only looked at ones that had the 135's - no matter the condition of the car itself. I know it sounds unreasonable (and it is), but I think a lot of buyers may have the same mentality when purchasing ZHPs.
Would of had this instead of my mystic blue ..lol love imola

Cam, for your "for sale" pics, take all the crap out of the car. Including the dog tags from the mirror, the keys out of the ignition, and the umbrella from the rear floor.
Also, if you just go ahead and add a supercharger and LSD, im sure it will sell...... :biggrin
Thanks. Love the fresh alcantara. Makes we want to recover the rest of the car (even though it's all in good condition) Yeah. I've heard that before. I wouldn't mind trading my wheels for stockers, but I don't want to go out and buy a second set of wheels.Quote:

Sorry to hear circumstances are forcing you to sell for cheap. Can't believe it's still FS.
On another note, you sure you don't wanna just sell the vette?
The car looks great cam, it should sell soon. Love the RCRs and clear corners.
And if your splitters are oe and you ever feel like selling them apart from your car I will gladly poach them ;)
[Insert witty phrase about Tapatalk here]
Lol. Yeah. I got a notice that my lease ends at the end of Sept instead of the end of Oct, so I'm in decision mode. I would have to part out the vette at this point to get close to getting my money back with 14 months of ownership. Besides, it is both more fun and more reliable the the zhp. Gets better mpg hwy too. :roflQuote:

I do have a lead on some oem wheels. May be doing a trade this weekend.
Figured out my problem. Quarter size hole in the bottom of my upper intake boot. Can't remember why I just did the lower... :facepalm #noob
I should probably go ahead and take off the lower, clean the throttle body and check the disa again, right? Because of any dust getting in? (I did all of the above in either January or February)
Edit: Temporarily covered the hole with duct tape until I can pick up the part at 8:30 tomorrow morning. Idle normal. Clutch chatter gone completely. (apparently the oem lightweight flywheel doesn't like low rpms in nuetral) Car sounds normal again. Phew.
So the hole in the upper intake boot, and lean condition were what caused your clutch to chatter? Did you have an associated SES light (or code?)? Forgive me as I don't remember the exact scenario.Quote:

I have only driven it twice since so I could get it back home. Chatter occurred both times. Rev the engine or push in the clutch and the chatter would disappear. Now it's perfect again. I have heard of other stock zhps chattering too.Quote:

We were thinking throwout bearing before this revelation, correct?
Yep. At the time that was the only explanation I could think of.
Woah, this sounds familiar. Does the clutch only "chatter" when engaging? I have a similar thing; when I engage at low RPMs (500-700), clutch kinda vibrates. I've simply been engaging a little higher as a result.
Could this be the same thing for me? Car is from New Mexico; hot as hell. Could be dried boots. Or was your issue different?
Interesting. Mine was only doing it when the car hit those rpms with the clutch engaged (ie. fully extended up with foot not on it) in nuetral. I don't think it's a function of a clutch problem as much as it is a lightweight flywheel at low rpms. By engaging at that low of an rpm, you could be bogging down the engine as well. Are you getting any other symptoms?Quote:

clutch chatter when taking off in first is normal. You can give it more gas and slip the clutch more when you take off or just deal with it. I have a recent clutch and flywheel and my car chatters when I take off from a stand still in first.
When the clutch/flywheel chatter in neutral.. That's different. For Torxuvin the issue was his intake boot, normally it would mean you have some sort of clutch issue.
Got the new upper intake boot installed today. Also got most of the way through the cooling system refresh before I found out that the gave me the wrong water pump. Hopefully I'll get it exchanged for the right one tomorrow and put the car back together.
Thanks to Shawn for answering few questions I had early on.
I hate it when that happens. I ended up w/ the wrong tensioner when I did my coupe. That reminds me, are you doing pulleys and tensioners while you have it apart?
No. I would if I were keeping the car, but it doesn't make sense for me to spend the money on them. I have checked and they are still in decent conditionQuote:

Nice Cam! I know you are glad. Lets get this car sold.
Shawn in VA.
Via thumbs and Tapatalk.
Bump. Have two potential buyers checking out the car this weekend. Going to go out and wash/wax in a few minutes. Supposed to swap for style 135s sometime today
Hope they come through for you.
Sale pending with a current e30 M3 owner. If it goes through, the car will be going to a good family
Glad to hear, Cam.
Officially Sold. Just checked my online banking. Loan balance=0.00$. New owner to drop off the remainder and pick up the car on Wednesday. Could not be happier for him. Going to a great home. Will try to get him on the site.
Nice.

Congrats. Cant wait to see the vette in obx.
super. congrats.
Thanks guys. Second person that actually looked at it. I knew it would end up going quick.
Definitely. I'm excited about the trip. Could be your only chance. ;) I think I may have some other plans for what I'll be driving by reunion time. :shifty Depends on how much saving I can do.Quote:
