I do know that it was one of the better shops around, but the lead mechanic, Don Fields, left sometime last year or so. Not sure how it is right now.

#5. quick info for a couple of you: - from Jim
Top
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2004 12:29:26 -0800 From: Jim <rx3sp@lanset.com> Subject: quick info for a couple of you: My experience with rotor runout: You should easily be able to get 0.003max at the periphery, the biggest source of error is the interface between the stock rusty hub face and the shiny new rotor hat. Average street runout is maybe 0.005-6, and it becomes objectionable somewhere around 0.010 with a sliding caliper. Fixed caliper (AP) probably gets objectionable at 0.004-5. Common source of power steering leaks is the tiny o-rings on the tiny hardlines (look like brakelines) that go to and fro. They are available from places other than the dealer. -- Jay Morris

#8. [E36M3] LSD test - from Roger Graves
Top
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2004 18:14:37 -0500 From: Roger Graves <RogRacer@earthlink.net> Subject: [E36M3] LSD test The idea of testing the slip-torque of your LSD with a torque wrench is a good one. In fact...the shop manual for my Miata gives the torque spec for just such a test. I've often wished the Bentley manual defined such a test for the M3. Lacking that, perhaps we could define a test, and see what range of values we get from list members.... Just a thought. Roger '95 M3...LSD is pretty good shape...or maybe not.
