#1. Personal/Commercial Signatures - from Dave Kelley
Top
Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2002 15:24:25 -0500 From: "Dave Kelley" <d.kelley@usa.net> Subject: Personal/Commercial Signatures Sue I think it is perfectly appropriate for people to list where they work in their signatures. We all want to know who we are dealing with. I give a little more credibility to someone who is in the business compared to someone who flips burgers at McDonalds (no offense to anyone). Plus it is just nice to know where people come from and what they do. I have never seen James use this list for commercial purposes any differently than the rest of us. He's not pumping out spam, he is providing useful information, just like most everyone else. Please don't go overboard and get too restrictive on people's signatures. Please?

Nothing real fancy. You can either hook it too a Palm for data logging, or to a laptop. But you will need a PC to evaluate the data in any case. It is a self contained system built just from accelerometors, so it doesn't have RPM or any other engine functions, but it measures speed and cornering g's, and also calculates a smoothness and usage rating. The web site is: www.extremegeez.com I use mine for Autox, which is where it roots are.

#3. Rogue Engineering Lightweight Flywheel and Clutch - from Mark Kern

Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2002 13:12:08 -0800 From: "Mark Kern" <markkern@cox.net> Subject: Rogue Engineering Lightweight Flywheel and Clutch Just wondering if anyone has tried the Rogue Engineering Lightweight Flywheel and Carbon Clutch combo yet? They claim that it virtually eliminates flywheel chatter. I'm concerned mostly about the feel of the clutch in everyday driving. When I go to sell the car, I don't want it to be difficult to drive because of the clutch. Also, the noise should be minimal so as to not turn off a potential buyer.

At least you got another 25k before it started eating you alive. Its amazing how all the little stuff adds up when the credit card bill arrives. If only I could bare to part with this car I could save myself $$$$ by buying a new that's still under warranty. Then again I have probably replaced just about everything in the last 10k miles so I guess I should just keep it.

Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2002 17:04:11 -0500 From: <cteague@cox.net> Subject: Re: [E36M3] Rogue Engineering Lightweight Flywheel and Clutch Mark, I have that setup, and I am very happy. The wife likes it too (Other than I failed to mention how much it costs, and billed it as a "maintenence" upgrade. But that's off topic.) It actually feels *much* nicer than stock. It has a smoother engagement, and for some reason, it seems less likely to stall than with the stock clutch. Not sure why that should be, but even my wife commented on the fact that it shifted better. As far as rattle, it had a little, that mostly went away with using Royal Purple Syncromax tranny fluid. It is not totally silient now, but not at all noisy. There is also a small increase in cabin noise, but that just makes the car sound more sporty. I assume they all will do that once you remove the stock dual mass system. I have heard other aluminum units on other M3's that were very noisy and rattled like marbles in a tin can at idle, but this is very quiet, and you only here some light noise on occasion at idle. No rattle type noise at all with the clutch engaged. Hope this helps, Chris 97 M3/4 > Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2002 13:12:08 -0800 > From: "Mark Kern" <markkern@cox.net> > Subject: Rogue Engineering Lightweight Flywheel and Clutch > > Just wondering if anyone has tried the Rogue Engineering Lightweight > Flywheel and Carbon Clutch combo yet?
