    Driving without headlight/tail light trim?

    I'm in the process of painting the chrome rings for my headlights and tail lights. All eight of the rings have been removed from the car. I won't be able to finish this project by tomorrow and I need to get to work. Should I be worried about driving my car without this trim for a few days? It...

    So...I 20 rolled a MK6 GTI and won...

    I DO NOT CONDONE STREET RACING. This took place on a very wide, straight, and smooth one-way road with two lanes. The speed limit on this road is 50mph. There were guard rails on either side and absolutely no trees, houses, or other buildings within hundreds of feet from the road. This was a...

    Need exhaust gaskets

    I need exhaust gaskets to hook up my anaconda system to my zzp cat back. Where can I get them? I've never run my car without gaskets. Would it be a bad idea to run it for a little while without them? Thanks.

    My tune is requiring that I update it so that I can flash to stock?!

    I got my tune years ago and now it won't let me flash back to stock for emissions testing. What gives? The original tune I received is a TRT file. I sent in a request for support to Trifecta and haven't heard back yet. I'm getting really fed up with the lack of support for this company. I paid...

    Replacement Exhaust Gaskets

    Guys, I need some new gaskets. Switching out the anaconda for factory cat section to pass emissions every year has taken a toll on my OEM gaskets. Where can I get replacements? Thanks

    Ridiculous Yet Possible Ideas (drivetrain swap)

    This question is for the mechanics on here that know our sonics very well. What do you think would be a realistic drivetrain swap for our sonics? I vaguely remember the idea of a full evo swap (engine, trans, AWD system) into the sonic. How realistic would this be exactly? We do have quite a...

    Uh Oh - Not a good noise to hear

I hear a grinding noise (coming from the front) when rolling in neutral. When I am in gear and accelerating I do...

    Moog End-links or BNR front sway bar making noise?

    Hey guys, I have a 2013 RS with a bunch of mods including moog end links and the BNR front sway bar. I had some noise issues at the front end last year when going over bumps. My mechanic discovered that the sway bar had to be adjusted to clear the sub frame (was making contact over bumps)...

    Squeaking/Chirping coming from the rear in cold weather?

    So I have this squeaking that is occurring in cold weather. It's only getting worse as the temperatures are dropping here in MA. I always let the car warm up 4-5 minutes if the temperatures are below 40 degrees outside. Nevertheless, when I start driving (and the car isn't fully warmed up yet) I...

    AWD Conversion

    Possible? I thought I read something a while ago on here about a company looking into it.

    P2270 with Vibrant J fitting

    '13 RS: anaconda, ZZP cat back, MPFab intake, full tune. I keep getting a p2270 code. It's reading lean at the O2 sensor. I got the j fitting to prevent a CEL but I'm still getting one. Any ideas?

    Clicking noise

    Eibach's, ZZP rear bar, BNR front bar, Billet end links, 17x8 235/45. 2013 RS 6spd. It's very inconsistent. Sometimes it's hard to hear, other times it's obvious. It seems as though it gets worse the more I drive. After letting it sit overnight I never hear it when I first get in and drive in...

    Anaconda CEL

    If one were to install the anaconda without a tune how long (roughly) until a CEL? Would there even be one? The reason why I ask is because I believe my tune was not flashed properly, however, I do not have a CEL and I've put about 50 miles on it with the anaconda + ZZP cat back and MPFab...

    Eibach's + ZZP rear bar + BNR front bar. Review.

    Holy crap...nuff said. My 2013 RS 6spd was completely stock up until this past Friday when I took it to the shop for handling modifications. I did NOT test the car with each piece individually. My review is based on the difference between a stock RS and an RS with the lowering springs and sway...

    Just rolled 10k in my 2013 MT RS

    Yup. Just rolled 10k miles and wanted to post an update. The car is currently stock. Haven't had a single issue with it besides the 1-2 shift grinding issue and an occasional vibration in my dash at 2500 RPMS. The stitching in my seats could have been better. I can already see some of the...

    USB Port Issues

    2013 RS Manual. I charge my phone in my car all the time and I think I screwed up the USB port in the upper glove compartment. When I plug my charger in it makes a quiet whining sound and my phone does not charge. Should I just take it into the dealership or is there a trick to fixing this...
