    Buying lots of parts? Get a free plane ticket!

    over a month or two means accruing interest which makes that plane ticket less free ;)

    Buying lots of parts? Get a free plane ticket!

    As long as you pay it ALL off immediately on the first bill, seems like a decent idea to me :tup:

    Subaru Powertrain Warranty Review

    Already took the car back yesterday. I'm also in the process of moving to my new house so I have quite a bit of patience for this kind of thing since im so busy. I'm also toying with the idea of just building my spare shortblock i have in the garage and throwing that in, which would require more...

    Subaru Powertrain Warranty Review

    Yes, I do indeed plan to be more proactive, I'm gonna call and see if I can get that persons name and number tomorrow so I can see what the deal is. In a business sense I do suppose I see why they would do this. Look at it this way. At this point in time the VERY best thing subaru could do to...

    Subaru Powertrain Warranty Review

    It actually says on the work order that the difference in psi was deemed to be OUT OF SPECIFICATION but that the (some 4 letter acronym for prolly some person at SoA) had decided the best route at this time was to put the customers car back together and send them on their way. Just like Holy...

    Subaru Powertrain Warranty Review

    Yea, at this point it's nothing the dealer can do. So it looks like I need to call up the SoA rep and ask to see the spec in writing or atleast talk to them as this should be a WELL documented issue amongst these cars on the factory tune by now

    Subaru Powertrain Warranty Review

    I'm speechless. I really am speechless. Just got a call from the service advisor they said they did the compression test and "checked the heads" (leakdown test?) and they said the following numbers: cyl 1 - 145 cyl 2 - 145 cyl 3 - 132 cyl 4 - 145 They said Subaru said its good to go! 13psi...

    Subaru Powertrain Warranty Review

    Nope, tech forgot his company gas card and I dropped it off on E, so hes got a card and gonna get some gas and take it home today. On a side note the 2012 2.0i CVT wagon they gave me isnt completely terribly for an econobox (as opposed to a "tarted up econobox" :lol:). Engine feels better than...

    Broke down :(

    i worked on cars in gravel driveways until I was 27 (last year lol) so I feel your pain and it will make having a garage all that much more sweet if you've experienced gravel and super cold/hot weather. I will say I don't miss those days much but I learned everything on my back in the gravel so...

    Broke down :(

    Back when I only had my CRX, all installs and fixes were completed start to finish without stopping until it was done. Now that I have 3 road-worthyish cars as long as 1 is in commission I tend to take my sweet time getting everything fixed. Atleast my garage hides my busted cars up on...

    Subaru Powertrain Warranty Review

    The service manager I've been dealing with seems reasonable, he just wants to cover his bases which I understand. Still no call, maybe the tech got a heavy foot and it left them stranded :lol:

    Subaru Powertrain Warranty Review

    i think I have the PDF of the shop manual for my car somewhere but I just gotta track it down/find the download again. Im going to suggest today that we take a gamble on who pays for the compression like above. I had been wanting to just do THAT from the beginning but the service manager was...

    Subaru Powertrain Warranty Review

    Yea i saw that same post on a forum about the 7psi difference but they were referring to a 2007 STi. I agree it should be much easier to find the actual numbers Subaru uses. Not only that, but the service manager himself did not answer my question on how much psi difference there has to be...

    Subaru Powertrain Warranty Review

    Got a call this morning, guy said they couldnt feel the issue so some tech is gonna drive it further or something to see if they can reproduce it. Hopefully they beat on it and it pops :). I left the compression test numbers on the passenger seat. I woulda thought this would be enough for the...

    THSCC Rally-X 2013 schedule

    Hey Guys, I know many of you are in fayetteville and likely other parts of NC as well. Last season I picked up a 1997 Impreza Outback Sport for $500 and fixed it up and made it my rallyX car. Found some stage gravel tires on CL for the stock steelies and put 06 WRX wheels with all season on it...

    2013 STI Insurance

    Sweet jesus, how about this. You move to NC and pay me 13k a year and drive mine whenever you want LOLOLOL. I pay 530 per 6 months on my 2011 STi, I am 28 and my record is clean (for some odd reason VA tickets never show up even when i tell them they are there ::shrugs::) full coverage as well...

    Subaru Powertrain Warranty Review

    Game playing indeed! Haha, atleast the service manager pretty much has my best interest in mind. He's devised a way to get my issue "on the books" that will cost me nothing (which was my biggest thing, seeing how i already dropped loot for a compression test). I'm bringing the car in with...
