Corksport TMIC, K&N air intake, Cobb Catback exhaust are the only mods on the car right now. I’ve read this code can be the result of many things. Any suggestion on where to start troubleshooting? Year/Make/Model: 2011 MS3 Mileage: 107500k Location:SF Bay Area CA Concern: CEL and P2096 code...

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...

I have a 2011 and the steering wheel does not lock when the ignition is off. Is this a common issue? From my understanding it should lock when the ignition is off.

I like the adjustability of the CS short shifter but dislike how the shifter no longer sits centered in the console cutout area like the stock OEM as the CS's shaft is not offset to sit more centered. Has anyone modded CS their shifter shaft to be offset and sit more centered like the OEM?

Someone on FBM has a Corksport TI for sale. Looking at the connections on it, it does not match the TI CS is currently selling. It does match the connections for CS Stage II Short ram inlet pipe. I currently have a K&N cold air intake on my car with the stock turbo inlet pipe. Will the Stage II...

I have a 2011 MS3 with 105k miles on it. I got it maybe 3 months ago and had the oil and transmission fluid changed not too long after I got it. I experience this issue with the shifter where sometimes the shifting - particularly from 1st to second gear - feels like butter and other times there...

Looking to upgrade my suspension. For someone not doing track but would like the adjustability of Coilovers. I’m looking for something on the mid to upper price range. I’m not trying to cheap out as I know that will cost me in the long run.

I’m going to replace my HPFP internals and saw it is recommended to pull the fuel relay to start the car till it dies to purge fuel from the pump so it doesn’t spray when disconnecting the lines to remove the HPFP. is this fuse - #5 in the diagram - the correct one to pull...

I saw another thread on this - center console blocking shifter - and that guy had the SS with the 4 holes for the throw. I'm assuming CS did a revision as mine that I just bought direct from CS has three holes per row for the throw. I got it installed and A.) the shifter does not sit center in...

My 2011 came with a K&N air intake and Cobb cat back exhaust. I was able to pass smog but as I get into mods like changing my HPFP internals I’m thinking of changing the downpipe but I wanted to know: A. Do all aftermarket down pipes that can increase HP come at making the vehicle unable to...

I got this car maybe month-month and a half ago and there is an issue where sometimes the horn will sound when using the key fob to lock the car and other times it will not. While doing some work on my MS3 this weekend I noticed I need to replace the negative battery clamp as doesn't seem to...

Does anyone know of these is a way to restore this trim piece or is painting it the only way? - other than leaving it as it is.

When I put my car in reverse I get this sound. Sometimes I hear it when driving but it’s not constant when going forward. Maybe I take a turn and I hear it quickly but it’s more prominent when reversing. It seems to be coming from the passenger front area...

Read a few things about both improve handling and lessening torque steer. I wanted to know if folks installed both of these and if so, what their impressions and if they deem them worth it.

I got Autotech internals I plan to install on my 2011. I had seen some other MS3 build videos where folks say they replace a screen in the fuel line return and in-tank pump feed that mounts on the side of the HPFP with a stainless steel screen. Is this recommended? Are there any other parts are...

I got the Damond motor mount set and I wanted to know if I only need to use jack stands on the front end of the car to elevate it enough to get under to access the RMM, or if I needed to get the whole car elevated on stands to access it.

Hey Folks! Recently bought a 2011 MS3 and looking to do some mods. Excited to be here and draw on the knowledge of this place. David
