Looking for CDV removal in NOVA

Reckless335 · 12-30-2013, 07:15 PM

Anyone know a reputable place in NOVA or Southern MD to get my CDV removed? I don't want it hollowed out, if possible, I'd like to remove it completely. I know this seems very easy via DIY, I just don't feel comfortable bleeding the clutch line afterward. I'd rather have a shop or someone with experience do this and have the peace of mind it was done right. Anyone in NOVA or Southern MD have their CDV removed, and where did you get it done at?

Luther from Flemmings Automotive, Boom (Jason) or Clem (Adam) all can do this quickly and cheaper than most shops.

j23a45m · 12-31-2013, 12:09 AM

Adam is the man to see for sure

PSUSMU · 12-31-2013, 11:07 AM

I can do it as well.

Reckless335 · 12-31-2013, 01:00 PM

Is there enough room in the line to remove it completely? If so, how much do you charge and how long would this take to do?

boom · 12-31-2013, 03:49 PM

I'll do it for you. No charge. Takes 5 minutes once the car is in the air.

Jason did mine....knocked it out quickly.

Reckless335 · 12-31-2013, 10:22 PM

Jason?

Edit: nevermind, I just read your initial response. Sorry, I'm not too familiar with names and usernames yet.

Boom where are you located and when are you available?

Reckless335 · 01-12-2014, 06:51 PM

Just wanted to give a shout out to Jason (boom) for helping me out with my CDV delete today. Really cool guy, very knowledgeable. I'm really pleased with how the car performs with the CDV delete. Not super noticeable at low RPM and normal driving, but once I took it for a small spirited run I could feel the difference.

boom · 01-12-2014, 08:17 PM

My pleasure. Happy to help out.

Boom, do you have to bleed the clutch after removing the CDV bit!?

Ive done 3 and never had to

Reckless335 · 01-13-2014, 01:43 PM

He bled mine, just for peace of mind. He used a vacuum and there WAS a bit of air in the system.

It should be more noticeable at low RPM, especially shifting 1st to 2nd.

How can you tell there was no air introduced into the system w/o bleeding it? Better off bleeding for peace of mind and it only takes [literally] 10 seconds.

boom · 01-13-2014, 07:04 PM

Bleeding the e9x clutch is not a 10 sec job. lol That damn bleeder valve is is the worst position possible. Total PITA. It's worth doing for peace of mind. I'm not convinced it's necessary but you're right there so why not...

Reckless335 · 01-13-2014, 09:36 PM

I agree. I watched Jason bleed mine.... it needs to be more easily accessible.

Ghostryder · 01-14-2014, 09:48 AM

Boom let me know if you would be able to do my CDV removal and clutch bleed after, beers for labor haha let me know how much youd charge. Im in sterling. Thanks

True true - the bleeder valve is in a stupid location. It's quick with a mini ratchet wrench though.

Not that I don't believe you, but do you have a picture of said wrench? Jason and I were talking about trying to figure out how to get a ratcheting wrench in there to make it easier.
