I think it broke a day ago...or almost broke doing 10 or so 70-120mph blasts on the interstate tuning.

I tired to drive it to work today...sounded like little midgets with a ball peen hammer... but still drove ok while babied. I actually thought it was an engine or electronics problem...like stuck on max timing...till the pop during a slight accelleration on the interstate.

I then had NO connection between RPMs and MPH. lol.

Coasted over...stop...bang clang bang clang. Shut it down...waited for a tow.

Nathan ran over since it was near his house and towed me up the ramp and into Home Depot.

Can we start a rescue fund for me...I am having enough money problems with a few legal challenges at the moment.

ATS is going to love my next phone call.

I have broken far too much too many times for anything to have a warrenty.

sorry to hear about the trouble. I've sure been there and not close to home or friends !! Mine had the bolts back out of the FP. Made a mess of the crank shaft threads !

Is this something to be said for ATS and their products ? Three times is a bit much.

Cq,

So it was an ATS flex plate? Billet? I haven't read about any problems with them.
