Anyone want to try to help me with a Spec V?

[silent_dc]

it burns a quart of oil in 200 miles and right now sounds like a pissed off Subaru (no offense to anyone) the kid that owned it (http://www.sr20-forum.com/mid-atlantic/11851-ouch.html) kinda can't drive it anymore (see link) and my girls trying to buy it but he pulled the coil and injector in hopes to not have a spun bearing.

anyone?

well hey its true everyone knows how a normal Subaru sounds so just like times that by 10 and add a slight knock (mainly the lame exhaust it has on right now) and ta-da spec. haha

What exactly do you need help with? Sounds like its got at least blown rings in a cylinder from the oil burning/sounds like a subaru (misfire).

sounds like the well known pre-cat issue.

....or just take it in for the pre-cat recall and get a fresh motor..

Either the precat issue or the butterfly valves.

If it's the butterfly valves one of the screw may have come loose, hit the plug and ****ed up a cylinder wall.

If it sounds like a subaru it's definitly missing on atleast one cylinder. Happend to me.

just possibilities of what it could be.. it doesn't have many miles on it maybe 60000 tops which is normally when the precat issue was happening so we're hoping that its something that simple. but as it sits it has an unplugged coil and injector (which makes it sound 10 times as loud as a subaru aka pissed off)

if you watched that video...its more of a sentimental value for about 2 grand less that that.

its a 2002.

take a typical subaru sound and make it louder and more obnoxious.

again with the sentimental value.

at least you understood what i meant when i said pissed off subaru haha.

Doesn't matter if it's a 2002.. the 02's were the worst plagued by the pre-cat failure, it is a recall and does not matter if the car is warrantied anymore.
