Well, I was considering going with a lightweight flywheel. The stock unit is 25lbs from what I've read, and there might possibly be available a Grand Am legal flywheel that's 20lbs - Not super lightweight, but should provide for a little quicker revving and smoother shifts.

That's very true Tim. I too felt they had no clue about the car, the words, "we haven't seen one of these in a really long time" were spoken more than once. Usually accompanied with *I think* when replying to my questions. I never got a positive answer. Oh well, I'm sure I could have gotten all kind...

Paul Miller in Wayne, NJ Moreover I was hoping to have a few dings removed by them and while they were at it I wanted the passenger side mirror base repaired under the corrosion warranty. I was left feeling as if they had no interest in repairing the mirror. For the dings, one in the hood and three...

Great! I'll try both ShadeTree and Haven Motors, they're much closer. One of the things that really annoyed me yesterday at the dealership was when I inquired about the Inspection I for the car, they stated it was $600 and required replacement of the micron cabin filter (uh, no it doesn't - this car...

That's an hours drive at least for me, I'm near Wayne, NJ. Is he that good and that inexpensive? I'm only asking because I would have to bring two cars down, drop the bimmer off, go home, then go back down and bring two cars home again. I was really hoping for someone local to the Wayne area.

2k M Roadster - Need mechanic in North Jersey

Hello All, I'm looking for a local mechanic to perform the 40k inspection on my 2000 M Roadster - And I'm not even sure what the 40k inspection entails.
