Philadelphia's Classiest Drunkards
Who wants to take a ride with me Sunday morning to help diagnose the noise my car makes?
Originally I thought it might be drivetrain related but I don't think so anymore, I was jaming on the brakes earlier and it was doing it then, but it still seems too random to me...

xpehbam did you recently go SD? I had a similar problem and maybe it's what you're experiencing as well. Plugs helped a bit but I also had to apply the mrfred XML fixes and one of them worked (don't remember which but I think it was #2). There's a weird breakup that occurs from injector pulse width dropout on the speed density rom generally around 2000-3000 RPM. I had it all through the rev range though at part throttle. It's annoying as hell trying to accelerate into traffic and getting only a sputter unless you go WOT.
Pete, I've had a weird clunking sound in the front of my RS for a while. It seems to come and go, but I haven't heard it for a while. It seems to occur when I'm moving at very slow speeds (like pulling into a parking spot) when the steering wheel is turned nearly all the way in either direction. We've checked it at my shop numerous times without finding anything. I had searched the forums for said noise, and it seems to be fairly common. I never found a consensus as to the cause.
Are you going to Grill on Sunday? If so, let me know what to bring.

The story starts with post #6775, and goes on from there.

The noise first started last year at the last CBP event. I just did brakes two weeks ago.

so i couldn't stand seeing my clean newly tuned on e85 car sit in the garage any longer so i took it out and let it rip on 340 and 82.
It's friggin awesome!! I even have torque steer now (could be my crappy tires letting it happen excessively though).
It occurred to me on my excursion that we need to plan another cruise. There are so many good country roads out here for it.
Let's try to plan for sometime in April. I could do it as early as Saturday, April 3rd.
Who's interested?
