Bump an old thread. I see most everyone is stating brakes. I*ve had this noise happening for a little bit, which is now getting worse. Just had the inspected and the brakes were fine. I had a guy replace all my shocks due to the rear drivers being blown. The noise is exactly the same as the...

They had thought that was my only cat and that I got rid of the 02 sensor until I made them aware. I was at that place for 2 hours waiting for this inspection with only one person in front of me, it was ridiculous.

They passed it. Dumbasses didn't realize that was the second cat and the first cat has the o2 sensor. I appreciate the helping hand though man

I went for my state inspection today and failed due to having test pipe. I was told it replaced the catalytic converter and that is why. I told them it passed last year but I was told because they probably didn't look at it due to being a low mile vehicle. Any insight on this issue guys?

No they are not. What he showed you on his graph is a nice straight line slowly increasing, whereas yours goes up and down constantly. It almost looks like you are going WOT for a split second then letting off and doing it again.

Yeah but people have known the speed 3 as the boosted hot hatch. I would hate to see them go with less power let alone no turbo.

Giving this a bump since it is right around the corner

A cheaper option to Powder coating is Plasti Dip. I just dip this not too long ago but the matte black. It turned out better than expected. But I would not want to do white because you will constantly be cleaning the brake dust off.

No HIDs, I didn't know how invasive it was to convert it over so I never messed with it.

Changed out the headlight bulbs (yesterday). Just used Silverstars 4k from Auto Zone. I was pulled over Saturday night by a douche cop to make me aware I had a bulb out. He asked do you know why I pulled you over, I of course said no, which I truely did not know I had a bulb out. He said you...

I noticed I had went 280 miles on the odometer without the gas light coming on for the first time since owning the car, I think. I did not pay too much attention in the beginning but I was pretty excited seeing as I was not driving like a grandma trying to achieve this.

I should have just went straight to the second page, I started reading the first original posts and was like wth is going on in here.......
