    Replacing OEM stock suspension: overwhelmed by choices

    109k miles on stock suspension. I don't drive on the track, just street. I want to be able to play with the ride height - I'm thinking of lowering may 1/2-3/4" below stock height. I'm looking to find a balance between comfort and performance. I'm not looking to mess with the camber. Folks...

    P2096 code mostly stock

    Ended up being a software update needed. Took it to a dealer to have them update the software. I took it to a local shop as I’ve been busy with work and my house to try and troubleshoot it.

    Bad Pivot Seal: symptoms with shifting?

    I did: I installed a cork sport short shifter and adjusted the linkage to make sure going into reverse was right. I experienced this issue with the stock shifter that came with the car before swapping to the CS.

    Bad Pivot Seal: symptoms with shifting?

    I got my MS3 maybe 7 months ago. I had the trans fluid replaced as it needed it but was also wondering if that might improve the shifting feel. I'm still having an issue that manifest as inconsistent resisting shifting into 2nd (sometimes 3rd). Sometime it shifts into 2nd like butter and other...

    Thanks. So something is up with the mechanism inside that is supposed to drop the male piece that locks into the column when the key is removed.

    Steering wheel lock

    Looking into steering columns and wheel locks, I wonder if a sensor failed and the car thinks the key is still in the ignition even when the car is off and thus it doesn’t engage the locking pin. I did not see anything mentioned in the manual about a the steering wheel locking but it would be...

    Nope, and Carfax and NICB shows nothing of theft and title is clean and VIN is correct.
