I'm new to this forum, so I guess I'll start here.

Just got a True Red MS3 and from SoCal

 

Hey guys I don't know if you ever experience any problem with MS3 clutch, cause I do. Whenever my clutch depressed I hear noise, when I press clutch no noise. It happens either engine cold or warm. Can you give advise? Car still under warranty. Is there something specific to car to make this kind noise? Is it a clutch problem?

This is exactly how it sounds:

Thank you.

 

Some noise is normal, that doesn't sound normal. Sounds like a dealership visit, they won't cover clutch/throwout issues but you'll know what it is. BTW this is a hello thread you should post your own question thread.

Pearl White '08 Speed3, just hit 650mi. Waiting to finish breaking in the engine so the fun can begin.

 

Thank you. BTW just a couple of days before I race evo, I check my oil it was light, but after that race I checked my oil it become much darker. We were pushing 100 for 2 or 3 miles. It was fun. But still founder about oil. This is my first turbo engine.

Thanks.

I too love my 2007 speed3! I did something a bit different though.
The dealer had mine sitting around for a while, i guess cuz it was a sport and not a GT.
So he made me a pretty fair deal on it. Anyway my sport has the leather interior, i had the dealer put it in... It came out very sweet! I also had the dealer install the cold air intake, the bigger cat back exhaust system, the silver gas tank lid, also had the windows tinted. And wheel locks put on. It just turned 9500 miles on it yesterday. I also run the amsoil dominator synthetic 5w-20... Anyway it is a real sweet ride and I'm very proud of it!

Sounds like you had this dealer over a barrel. Include a picture if you get a chance. One thing I thought that the recommended oil weight was 5W-30. Please advise, thanks.

Hello Bob9995,
Ill have to work on a pic.. as far as oil yeah the book says 5w-30 I could run that as well
I just chose the dominator 5w-20 this time. Like with the old type oil there is 10w-40 &
10w-30 pretty much a persons choice... I may go back to the 5w-30 next time.
But I feel that amsoil is the very best on the market, and I really feel that there synthetic will not let me down... Oh and no didn't really have the dealer over a barrel
Just called at the right time. And got lucky. Hope to hear back from you!
