Cleared the CEL again. So the Catalyst is dying. Time for a spacer and some race headers! Because race car!

Because race car!If the cat isn't plugging up just add a spacer and get rid of the CEL. Cheaper and easier, or is that what you meant?https://www.amazon.com/Pack-Sensor-Spacer-Adapter-Extender/dp/B00CBKOP7G

It has gotta go.a spacer is ordered, as are new headersvroom!

Both of them with expensive OEM ones. No change.

Suddenly transmission is very difficult to get in gear and I have to rev match to change gears. Similar thing happpened a few years ago and it ended up being the clutch master cylinder. I suspect something similar this time. Dropped it off at a local indy shop this morning and turns out part of the clutch pedal assembly snapped! Its a $300+ part and is backordered. Luckily they are able to weld it up and I'm back on thr road for under $90.Is that a semi-permanent fix, or just something to tide you over until the new part comes in?Supposed to be permanent, time will tell I guess.

Got my new cat and headers on their way, from a local place in North York actually. Surprised that one of the best aftermarket solutions for a British...err German car is from Toronto, Canada.
