Dunno what it could be. Can you post a vid?

67.5k Service in the parking lot of my apartment complex.

The Fumoto valve make oil changes too easy.

Took out ALL the interior to find the "smell" It was TWO mouse nests (bathrooms) up above the headliner. Every time I opened the window, I would smell it horribly. I think they are getting in above the rear shocks. Any one else have this issue.

I love driving my car, but the smell had made it not enjoyable. I had time this weekend and a bottle. A bottle of FEBREZE!

@Leonardo,
oh man... ABOVE the headliner?!?!

my buddy had a problem with his brand new 2012 jetta.
they were chewing up the wiring harness for his engine.
he used a poison that makes them search for water (dehydrates them) and they die AWAY from the car, instead of INSIDE it, like one did in my mom's Tacoma. I had fun tearing apart her AC vents to find it.

bleh. good luck!

Had something similar, had a foul smell in the trunk after I had gotten the vehicle back from the dealer after about a week for some repairs. Found rat piss all on the floor of the trunk after I removed all the stuff. I washed it down and sprayed it with odoban worked great and I've also used it for the wet carpet smell.

Well, I didn't do it to mine, but I did make the pilgrimage...

Rented a brand-new GT86 and did four laps at the Nurburgring! I was their first customer in the car - it only had 180 or so miles on it. What a blast.

Obviously it's not quite a fair comparison. This has had the interior mostly stripped, a cage bolted in, sticky tires and track pads, but I can attest to the traction-control being much more useful in the '17 vs the older models. I didn't even use track mode (b/c I didn't feel like spending my $6000 deductible), but even with all the nannies on it only really got upset by the carousel. I feel like the clutch and shifter were also a little better.

I may still not care for the front end, but man, such a great drive in a great car!

My best time "Bridge to Gantry" was my second lap at 9:40 with one yellow flag out on the track. By the time I got to my third and fourth laps there were four different cautions, so they were slower over all.

its not going into gear when running. Funny thing is when i turn the car off, put my clutch to the floor, and start the car in gear it wants to start creeping forward as it would when you slowly let off the clutch pedal, with my foot still completely down as if the clutch isn't completely disengaging. Im gonna look at my master and slave cylinders. I have a video of it doing so before i changed the clutch which i can post tmw.

Oh and btw, 275 wide tires are too wide for our cars

Oh yeah, I remember now... Maybe you should have gotten that clutch fork lol. Maybe the fork is bent and the clutch isn't fully disengaging. Or maybe it's something else entirely. Keep us posted
