Hello Everybody, I've read some other forums mostly AU and EU about rough idle/shaking issues, just wanted to hit up this community, see if anyone else has/had this issue and what the culprit might be in my case. Ive had this problem for quite some time now, and at 1st it was avoidable -...

Hey all, Was driving last night and noticed a weird situation with the car. At above 3.5K rpm if I drop the throttle then get back on it there is a very noticeable knock like a catch up of the engine to the transmission or something. Feels quite unsettling, almost like a clutch drop...

Hey all, So this happened to me a couple of times now, i just want to see if I'm the only one and should take the car in to get checked out or not. Driving home from work i notice the car running louder than usual, at a few of the lights i dropped my windows and could hear the fans running...

Hey all, I was recently told by a marginally reliable source that if i want to replace my stock brake pads i should also be replacing my rotors. I have a few questions in regards to this: 1. Do i really need to replace the rotors if I'm replacing pads, as I'm replacing pads for brake dust...
