Notchy 2nd-3rd gear shifts

Rough idle/stalling

Rough powerband above ~5000 rpms

Rock chipping on side skirts

Tint getting scratched (only a handful of people with this problem)

Car payments being too high...

There may be some improvements. bought mine at the end of April and have had no issues with chiping (although I did get the X-pel anyway), no issues with running rough that I have noticed but have had the factory reflash, and the have no issued with the gearbox.

The only complaint I have is the ride height (coils go on next week) and fuel milage (likely fixed with Eutek flash).

I ll add...

cheaply made recaros

gas pedal broken off

brake dust (minor problem)

Edit: Both rough idling and rough rpm above 5000 rpm should be fixed with the latest reflash.

The bearing on my front drive shaft is failing. At first it sounded like wind or vacuum like sound and progressed to lots of squeaky/rubbing noises at speeds under ~60mph.
I have about 3000 miles on the car since 3/1. =(

Has anyone else had a similar problem?
