My point is that when I run a 10 minute race or 1.45sec AutoX I do not worry about engine overheating. I have already removed my all my A/C related components and the radiator is much cooler than before. But I am sure that other folks in colder climates would like to steal 8hp for a few track or drag runs. I do want to switch on (enable) the fan clutch on the cool down lap , at the pits and during the trip to and from the track. Has anyone done it ? I dont want to do the -even better- BML racer solution that removes the fan and fan clutch since I live in the sunny Mediteranian. Thanks in advance.

It's part of a "rebuild" (for lack of a better word) kit that also includes the bushings, bolts, etc. If you just need the bracket reinforcements then the TMS or GC are probably a better option. If you're still curious about Dinan, just give them a call. steve

#10. Rear end gets too loose! - from Robert S. Hatrak II

Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2002 11:31:29 -0800 From: "Robert S. Hatrak II" <rob@hatrak.com> Subject: Rear end gets too loose! Ok, I have another one for you guys.... Lately, the rear end of the car has become VERY loose, and I'm not sure why. Even coming off the line with 60-75% throttle makes the rear end swing the the *right* every time. If I'm at freeway speeds, in 4th or 5th gear with hands off the wheel and I floor it, the rear end wants to go right. What's the deal? Tire wear is even. Pressures are fine. I need to look under the car again, but last time I looked (2 weeks ago) no apparent damage. Could my diff be going kaput again? Grandpa is having some real troubles here! Thanks, Rob 95 M3 "Grandpa"

Last night I got a CE light come on and a code 1226 in the computer that according to Conforti's web site is "Knock sensor #2." Has anyone had this? If so, where is it located so I can pull it to find a part number for a new one? Thanks in advance! Rob 95 M3 "Grandpa"
