1972 BMW 3.0CS in for clutch hydraulic repairs.

Diagnosis found a leaking clutch slave cylinder and low fluid level. A new slave cylinder was installed and the clutch hydraulic system was refilled and bled, getting this classic BMW back on the road.

With just over 8,000 BMW 3.0 CS coupes produced, the E9 remains one of BMW's most recognizable classic designs more than 50 years later.

Also, a thank you to our friends at Cavanaugh’s Finest for supplying the detailing products that help keep classics like this looking their best.

2015 Scion FR-S with 75k miles towed in after the clutch pedal went to the floor.

An Advanced Clutch Technology upgraded clutch kit was installed along with a new slave cylinder, rear main seal, guide tube, shifter bushings, and related hardware. The car also received an oil service with LIQUI MOLY and a general inspection while it was here.

Lightweight, rear wheel drive, and built around driver feel, the FR-S / BRZ / 86 platform is still one of the best modern enthusiast cars to build on.

2013 Audi Q5 3.0T with just under 100k miles towed in for overheating and coolant loss.

Pressure testing revealed coolant pooling in the valley under the supercharger. We removed the supercharger and completed a carbon clean while replacing the PCV assembly, thermostat, water pump, coolant pipes, seals, and related cooling system components. Also repaired a damaged injector connector and completed an oil service.

The 3.0T is a solid platform, but coolant leaks and carbon buildup are common as these cars age. Contact Griffin for Audi diagnostics, maintenance, and repairs.

Essentially a GT3 RS-inspired EV sedan!

The Manthey-equipped Taycan Turbo GT Weissach just reset the Nürburgring production EV sedan record with a 6:55.553 lap time.

Over 1,600 lbs of downforce, revised suspension tuning, larger brakes, wider forged wheels, and increased power delivery make this one of the most extreme factory-backed EVs Porsche has ever built.

Feels less like a luxury EV and more like a GT department experiment gone wild.

Does a car like this change your opinion on EV performance cars?
