Before I put my car back together, I wanted to check out my leaky passenger axle. Popped the car up, rotated the wheel a bit while loosening bolts, and it started gushing fluid hahaha

ya def are worse than motor mounts. the torque damper is bolted to the chassi of the car, and well its a solid part of metal with a little puddy under it mounted down so all the engine vibration and transfered from metal to metal lol the motor mounts a poly so they kind of obsorb it a little better and you dont really hear all the noise with the motor mounts you more than likely just feel it....i love my energy motor mounts though

I'm back! Sorry for the wait.

The car had a bad trans seal, so I ordered a new one and replaced it.

There was a certain area of engagement on the clutch that sounded absolutely terrible upon shifting. I had no time to pull the transmission and access the clutch, so I took the tC to a shop.

We had reused the throw-bearing after installing the dual clutch because there was nothing else to use, but it turns out that the kit was suppose to come with a special one, which it didn't. That's what caused the problem - thrust bearing destroyed the clutch.

Still need an EMS to run the car properly, but everything in Stage 1 is completed.

Stage 2 will most likely include:
  • Ptuning Turbo Kit
  • Fuel Return System
  • Nitrous System
  • BC Stage 2 Camshafts
  • Carbon Fiber roof, hood, hatch
