Car looks great! Have you had any issues that I have heard have been coming up in those cars? Or has it been pretty smooth sailing other than working out the kinks in your suspension setup?

Thanks!

And actually, yes... :roll:

Where to begin....
There's A LOT of technical service bulletins (TSBs) out for these cars. I've been fortunate enough to only have about half of them or so.

-Tail light condensation
-Idle dip
-Coolant thermostat (Took way to long to warm up. Needle would have barely moved, even after 10 minutes of driving).
-Window seal/weather stripping (when the window is wet, it lets out a very high pitched squeal when the window moves... it came back. I need to get the stripping changed out again)
-Window logic (Windows freezing/needing to be reset when temperature is cold (snow))
-2nd gear grinds every now and then (4th and 6th are usually the common problem gears)
-High pressure fuel pump chirps ("crickets." Mine comes and goes.)
-Rear deck lid rattle (caused by slag from the manufacturing process breaking free... mine seems to have fixed itself?)
-Cold start misfire ... it still does it, but does not throw a code, so it won't/can't be fixed...too much of a hassle to do since it isn't a "problem"

Actually, come to think about it... that's most of the TSBs and issues. I haven't had the camshaft sensor or engine failure yet, so that's good at least. Transmission grind isn't as bad as others, and doesn't happen as often. I would have to take the car in to my friend to get it fixed, since it may be blamed on my short throw shifter or bushings. But I know for a fact that it's not the case. I changed out transmission fluid (albeit to OEM) about 2000 miles ago (32xxx) and that helped a little.

There's a few others regarding a grille over a speaker, stuff with the radio (bespoke or the nav units), tail light cracking... It's just been small things, nothing serious.

I've been more unfortunate with damage. I had to get the front right fender pulled/repainted, I had 4 or 5 dents pulled with PDR (one was a really bad crease), I had someone hit my left rear bumper, and a pickup truck back into me (front bumper is spider webbed and there is a mark from a hitch). I still have a couple dents (left A pillar from a bug...not joking, one on the roof from an acorn or something, and then a few from me near the roof testing out the alarm system (my fault, not that angry about these, really surprised it dented from me pushing... oh well)) And then the rocker panels. I have some small dimples from a camping excursion at Summit, and then I had a large dent on the right from a curb :oops: , but I got that repaired
