the louder noise didnt start after i put in one of your x-clutches. Actually i did get some louder ambient noise but thats not what i mean. About 2-3 months ago my clutch was dropped with no slip at about 5k rpm. not racing, just poor anger management. After that i got this horrible metal scraping sound for about 200 yards. After that there was no problem for the next few hundred miles. Then i got the LOUD howling sound about 500 miles later, which is now fixed. But once i hit decent boost in first or second gear i get a "VERY" loud metal scraping sound. By very loud i mean very very loud. Not just "wow thats an annoying sound" i mean "Holy shit what the hell was that!" kind of sound. When i let off the gas it goes away. The shops i checked were ur average pepboys/autozone/kraigen/napaa type shops not tuner shops. I would love to come over to u guys again but thats a killer trip. I've seen u guys before. Actually Mike im pretty sure u drove my car. I had the black evo with the x-clutch that wouldnt let me change gears at high rpms untill u guys adjusted the pedal for me. Anyway it seems im going to have to make the trip to see you guys. U think you would have time to take my car for a quick spin so you can hear the noise for yourself and tell me if im gonna have to rape my wallet? I would really appretiate it. THANKS!
