i dropped it with espelier asd springs, maybe 1.8in. They have been on for about 4-5k miles already.

the noise is actually louder when you first start the car

alright last night when i went in my garage i started the car, didnt let it warm up so it was idling high put it in first and let off the clutch without the gas so i could creap out of my garage and while doing this i heard a slight clicking as i inched forward . So i pulled all the way out of the garage put it in reverse to see if it would click in reverse and it did . i put the e brake up ran in the house for a few min, let the car warm up and when i came back out and i tried to listen for the noise again when i was creaping out of the driveway but it wasnt there anymore but as soon as i get over 20mph the swirling noise starts


ive checked to see if its my e brake not fully disengaging,
checked the brakes the exhaust sytem all the axle boots and everything looks

think you've got



j/k Matt but it's hard to trouble shoot something on line - as i mentioned lots of folks dropped thier cars without any problems

any chance you're going to the Nov 11th meet?? if so there will be a bunch of guys there to listin to your car

i stil think the over 20 could simply be wind noise (does it go away when you open the window)

you can try to put some slight downward pressure on the convertable top handle ( you know that roof handle you use when you close the roof) to see if the sound goes away

if it does go away i would still guess it's the seals
