Default Goodbye M3, Hello S2000!!!!!!!!!! Got some ?'s

Hey guys just did a even swap for a 00 S2000 for my 98 M3. I traded a 4 door automatic M3 w/84K on it for a 00 White S2000 w/ 71K on it.

After having it for a week now I noticed the "clutch buzz" which is annoying. I would like to find some of the following to clean it up a bit. I'm looking for:

New OEM lug nuts in good shape
Mudd Flaps for in front of the rear tires
Any suggestions about what clutch to put in to get rid of the buzz perm.

I'm gonna post some pics below if I can of it, I recently just got new OEM wheels and I'm selling the SSR rims and tires that you see in the pics

Thanks guys.

Oh man Estoril Blue. My favorite. Did you replace the water pump before you was rid of it?

Unless you are going to mod for hp...just stick with the OEM clutch. The latest OEM clutch & pressure plate get's rid of the buzz.

BTW, what size are the SSR's...are those the SSR Comps? PM me with what you are looking to get for them.

i think some people still reporting that even new replacement from HOnda will still buzz after a while, i recall someone said that on S2ki.com

are you talking about the 06? maybe something new that i am not aware of?

I would've keep the M3 tho, nevermind it's slushbox

I was going to say you EVEN traded an M3 for an 00 s2k? But then again its an auto ... so I can see why it was hard to sell

Yeah man, it was so hard to even find someone who wanted it..... I mean I dropped 1500 off the Blue Book and still nothing,......anyway...you think an Exedy clutch would be a good fix for this clutch buzz??? Check out my other posts for the SSR rims...thanks guys...

If you are not going to go OEM, Kane.s2k writes a pretty convencing argument for these clutches:

http://www.s2ki.com/forums/ind...00118

I've heard negative comments on the Exedy on the S2k: wear quickly (some have seen less than 2k miles); get hot quickly in traffic and become slippery; noisy.

BTW...as long as you are in there, a light flywheel is a nice mod that is not too expensive. Comptech (9.2lb), Toda (8.4lb), Fidanza (8lb) are most popular...all in the $300-$400 range.
