Hello again. Just wanted to give you an update.
So, no one really knows what the problem was. But I showed the mechanic the sound the car made when it broke and he said it sound like the belt. He said it could be the AC and then told me a lot of stuff about why it could be the AC, but don't remember all of it, but he mentioned something with a clutch. Anyways, I have been driving the car daily for the past 2 weeks and it's driving normally. When I got the car back the mechanic also said to me that the car felt like it only had 150hp, and I found that weird. I went and got the ECU tune removed and it feels like it have 200hp power again. That's on problem solved. I think that the tune might have something to do with the problem I had, because now I can drive the car to the limiter and no problems or sounds. But back to the AC. The mechanic told me to change the gas and the oil to see if the problem went away, before I changed the hole AC. I'm going to do that next month, not that I think I need that because the car is normal again but to be safe I'm going to try that. Also going to do a big service on it and change stuff like the diff oil, brake fluid etc. I think that's all for now :P also got a full insurance on the car hehe I think it's like that AAA insure é you talked about.

Ah and thank you all for the replies
