Lmao -- Mode Carbon parts should be in in a couple weeks, and frozen reflectors are on order.

Couple small updates:
The owner of SSP is flying in next week to install their 800hp clutch pack and additional goodies. Swapped out my Akra Evo mid-section for the GT4, car now sounds and feels as it should. Absolutely love it. Wheels arrive next month, Vorsteiner FF in matte bronze. 19x10 front, 19x11 rear. |

Not sure why upgraded clutch packs would even be necessary unless you are building the motor. No need on the bolt-on blower kits...

I hope I'm wrong; don't wanna see another car sit around another year and say I told you so. If you think of all the supercharged dct m3's out there (several hundred if not close to 1000), I'm sure others would have jumped on this if it was a viable upgrade or if it were needed. But fact is no one has reported that they have... Again I'd be weary especially since it's not necessary on bolt on VF620 or VF650 kit. Last edited by dvpouldar26; 03-23-2014 at 08:31 PM.. |

I'm really curious if SSP fixed whatever caused the problems on Drew's tranny. As far as I know, only the BMW dealerships have the tools necessary to calibrate the DCT clutches -- as AutoLogic can't do it. If I remember correctly, the only way the BMW dealership agreed to calibrate the clutches, was if they installed them themselves. So I'm pretty sure BMW did the work on Drew's tranny, not ESS. I'm not 100% sure about that...but that's what I seem to remember. |

If the SSP clutch packs are the same type that myself and Gintani had installed then be prepared to buy a new DCT tranny like we did, if they have fixed the issue since then that's good news, either way best of luck.

The only reason someone would have recommended a DCT upgrade build is if the motor was also being built. Because no matter what you do a stock motor (i.e. ESS 650, Gintani Stg 2+, AA Level 3, Gintani twin turbo), you aren't going to make enough power to blow the DCT. And even on your 13-14psi LC build, the DCT is fine. So either the DCT is already blown and out of warranty or Richie Rich is doing a 1,000 HP motor build...because otherwise the DCT build is a waste of money.

Yes, that's what you were thinking, it was a few years ago! The dealer installed the new tranny with the stock clutches.
