slight knocking when pulling away
« on: April 12, 2012, 07:13:21 pm »
I have a slight knocking vibration when pulling away, at first i thought it was the clutch but i think it may be the exhaust knocking on something, are there any known issues that this could be?

Have you done the subframe mod ??

If you're looking to buy the subframe bolts and spacers, the dealers are cheaper than Awesome (as with other things  :stupid:)
