Typically lift in the front and rear lifts. For example, jack driver front, stand driver rear.
Jack passenger front, stand passenger rear

Ahhhhhh... makes sense. I guess I'm not used to having a car with short enough ride height and suspension travel to where that's possible!

Bummer on emissions. One thing to consider if I change states haha jk. I’d invest in a catback unless you have one already. Avoid CTS products. Hit or miss fitment, mostly miss though lol. I’d suggest trying to get your tune reflashed. Are you on the updated tune? 2.1 or 2 or 3? Can’t remember what revision they are on now. Only CEL I’ve had lately is my gas cap. Fine some days and others not.

Yeah I already have an AWE catback which I will risk cutting the resonator off of it for a more beefier sound . I'm not quite sure about the stage 2 version I'm in . It frustrates me . The only way they get into detail is if I ask specifically about a certain thing . The way I constantly get the CEL I'm even hoping I'm in stage 2 file not stock or 91 file!.

I've never had a CEL before I turned stage 2. The CEL they said comes from maybe needing a new o2 sensor ? Why the hell do I need a new one all of a sudden after I get stage 2? Code name P0036. I even have a Spacer to prevent the CEL but it's still here smh.

I want a vagcom or something but don't want to spend that much right now . Do u have a obd2 that's reputable? Where did u get it ?

AWE is dope. Almost bought one instead of Borla. I have the APR obd2, it’s $200 but is been fantastic and never been a problem for me! I can clear fault codes and track all sorts of things. Bought it right from my APR dealer. Your exhaust will sound legit with a catless downpipe. [emoji1303][emoji1303]

Anyone know what this means. Came on the other day. I cleared it, drove a bit and passed emissions. Came back on today. I havnt noticed any difference in drivability.

10mm? cant be done - no one has one of those.
my buddy called up stranded on his bike and said he needed some alan keys and socket/wrench to try some fixes...

Guess which socket he needed?

Guess who went and bought a new socket?
Guess who still doesnt have a 10mm?

Wut? :confused:

10mm socket if you want to unhook the battery and remove the battery tray (for easier access to the top nuts on the downpipe)
And also if you want to remove the under tray to get to the O2 sensor harness/clip

So, a while back I bought a map upgrade CD, not OEM, and I forget how I'm supposed to use it to upgrade. Total brain fart moment here. Do I have to prompt the system to accept this dvd disc with the files? I just put it in there and now the screen has a persistent "please wait!" prompt on screen with no progress bar. I know the process will take a while but something seems off...
