    Some issues with my new MS3

    The noise you hear on start up is the VVT most likely; next time you do a cold start, have someone listen (or you listen) right over the oil cap for the a rattling/timing chain scraping on the valve cover. You can also open the oil cap up (while the car isn't on) and see how tight the timing...

    clutch pedal shakes when slightly pressed

    Unfortunately, this guy right here would be correct. That is the tell-tale sign of a bent rod; get that inspected before you drive the car anymore unless you want a VTA mod on your block.

    FMIC options

    Core is junk. Are you running a Gen2? If so, a TMIC would not be a bad option; lowers BAT's CONSIDERABLY. Gen1=FMIC all the way.

    The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

    I used a pair of wire cutters and clamped down as hard as i could right under the cable arm and used a pair of needle nose pliers to pop it off. Just like butta....if butta had like rocks in it or something

    The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

    Oh yeah both Jake and Evan helped me out a toooon! Works great now! The difference is the height that the plate sits. Because the JBarone sits higher and at a different angle when connecting to the shift cable arm (the part that connects to the transmission), and the throw is very heavy. I...

    Im trying to take my jbarone short throw plate off to switch to the shortcut. Does anyone have any idea how to detach the cable arm from the ball stud? Its up higher and theres no place directly underneath to apply pressure to pop the cable off. Im already down one pair of pliers! Haha Any...

    Nothing at the moment.....but its either take the test pipe off or get a cobb ap or a tune. One costs barely anything the other a ton. Kind of a no brainer with so much warranty left on the car as it is.

    Yeh man, I'm thinking Mad Hatter or this other place that got awesome reviews on Google. It's a super nice test pipe, it has the hangers preinstalled on there from wherever it was manufactured from. I'm sure this dude paid out the @$$ for it, so I should be able to sell it and get my money...

    So I bought my 2010 MS3 w/ a test pipe and SRI on it. I have the stock parts....because I dont have a tune and to keep the warranty all good, I'm trying to get the test pipe off and the original cat pipe put back on. I was under the car today, there's like no way I can do it I just dont have...

    Do I need to tune?

    Well that being said, I talked with the dude that sold me the car. He is giving me the original pipe back, I think since it only has 17k miles on it im going to put it back to stock for now and be on the safe side with warranty and all that. The little power gained without a full exhaust isnt...

    Do I need to tune?

    Hey guys! I just bought a 2010 Speed3 from a guy and it has a Corksport SRI and some kind of test pipe that deletes the 2nd cat. Does this merit the 600 bucks for a Cobb AP? I'm not extremely worried about performance, I'm more worried about warranty and safety of the car running with the...
