I have a question for all of you. This question has been asked time and time again but.. I'm still not finding an answer to my scenario after searching.

I've had an intermittent clunk for about a year now. It feels like it's right below my feet. It only happens after it rains or on brisk mornings and around 10-20mph on bumpy/uneven roads. End links have been replaced with turner adjustable ones (lowered on b12 prokit), top mounts have been replaced as well. I got no clue.

What about control arm bushings?

I would double check your end links to ensure they are not loose. I installed some adjustable end links and all new suspension and had what seems to be the same "clunk" you experience. Go under the car while under load, tires on and not jacked. Grab the end links and see if you can move them and replicate the clunk. That's how I found out mine were loose.

Still getting misfires on cold start and slight throttle so injectors are gonna be next it seems.

What was your mileage on it prior to getting this done?

colorado.e9x · 06-28-2020, 06:08 PM

Could be dirveshaft related I really can't tell, everything seems tight. I've double maybe even triple checked endlinks but I will once more. It did clunk the same when I drove without endlinks for a couple days last year. I estimate mileage was around 135k when I installed everything.

53k miles and I'm the third owner. Second owner never did a carbon clean, and I doubt the first owner did cause he only owned the car till 33k miles

I paid it off! Too bad it’s nowhere near the price that’s on the window sticker...

M-technik-3 · 06-30-2020, 05:01 PM

Learned of simple key fob functions. Did not know about roll down feature. Sure like that feature when it's super hot out.

colorado.e9x · 07-01-2020, 12:35 AM

Installed a new shift knob. Yes it's an auto. No I'm not trying to make it look like a manual lol. I just have a genuine dislike for the stock gear selector.

*Shift boot sat too low so I used a bracelet to tie it closer to the knob. Didn't have hair ties so this was the solution

I've thought about doing the same. I tend to uses the actual shifter more than the paddles.

Duchess22 · 07-01-2020, 03:07 PM

PE mod exhaust and a dry air filter installed. I'm liking it!

Next is a HFDP. I was concerned about excessive noise. But now I feel confident I can add the DP w/o being obnoxious.

Not quite the thread but any tips real quick with getting mechatronics sleeve back into place and locked? Looks like it is in place but wont lock back in place.

Doing seals and solenoids in the trans right now

Dude that mech sleeve was a huge bitch to put into place. When I did it, I made sure it was seated straight, then put a ratchet extension flat against the other side and levered it into place

Got it right after i posted that. Cut a small piece of wood and put it on the sleeve then pryed on the wood and it popped right into place. Old one was a bitch to take out too

Other than that, everything went smooth and have drove it 30 miles. Things are sooooo much smoother now. Car does shift weird sometimes like it is slipping but i feel like its just cause i reset the adaptations and it needs to relearn. Seems to be getting better. Also flashed XHP stage 3. Cant wait to be able to get on it and see how it feels once adapted

nsjames · 07-01-2020, 10:04 PM

goodbye ccc

hello cic

mostly works. I need to figure out FSC codes for navigation and sirius.
I have a combox on the way so I didn't bother figuring out the bluetooth. I'm sure it just needs firmware like the amp did, but all I have is a kdcan cable.
I guess I'm going to have to get an icom one of these days.

lucked out on the ebay CIC in that it has firmware from 2017.
my PDC, FTM and console mounted USB/aux are all working, and that's good enough for now.

If you just recently flashed xhp, it seems to be mushy during the adaptation period, but after, it tightens up and becomes snappy.

I remember the first couple times I flashed, it threw me off

ky0u · 07-01-2020, 10:57 PM

Yeah i noticed that "mushy" feeling. Flashed it and it felt kinda meh at first but have drove the car almost 60 miles so far of kinda city driving and the car is feeling a lot better
