Lesson #1 Compression tests are the last breath of subaru motors. Ever notice how many guys say they are going to check the compression and find it fuxord lol. Theres no real connection but coincidence

rodder · 05-16-2008, 02:16 PM

Jeffros Spec V · 05-16-2008, 03:03 PM

OMGz Turbo · 05-16-2008, 04:17 PM

damn thread>me haha i usually skim when i read must have missed that.

So has it been led to believe this is the reason she sold the car?

RyanG · 05-17-2008, 12:02 AM

^^ doubt it. Just cruising around you wouldn't realize anything was really wrong. The car acts kinda normal lol.

I don't want to place the blame on ANYONE, just an unfortunate event that is being handled swiftly

Not at all. i told andy when he first offered me a price that i wasnt gonna sell it. i had no reason to and would have been very happy keeping it. the car ran Perfect the entire time, other than the backfiring, which i was told that it was doing that since its was about 100 out the day it got tuned and if i drove it on cold days it ran rich and shot flames. i never once used the meth, so i have no idea how it ran on that tune. and i dont post on here since i have a bone stock m coupe. i have no idea why or how anything happened, i feel bad for andy

and ryan who built the car.

Ummm yeah except you had a for sale thread asking 30K for it because your mother was sick or something.

rodder · 09-09-2008, 05:21 PM

yay this car is now blown up for the second time... not blaming anyone but myself this time though.

I did find out for sure that the car was already blown up before I bought it. I hope Dana sleeps well at night.

Subie_sleeper · 09-09-2008, 05:50 PM

Look on the bright side though. You're dealing with a shop that will take care of and work with you. It might be tough to get in sometimes , but 1320 is worth the wait. I've broken parts because of the mods that were done and the fact that I beat on my ride more than I should , but NOTHING Ryan or Adam have done to my car has failed or had to be re-done. Thats says a lot since making STI and WRX parts work on the Baja is a pain in the ass to say the least.

rodder · 09-09-2008, 05:59 PM

yeah, Ray (turbo tek) has even personally offered to drive up to my house and help me pull/disassemble the motor.

Most likely will end up with CP pistons this time around.

btw, I see you've been added to the list of unhappy customers of "the shop that shall remain nameless" in DE.

Sorry to hear that. I always like to be wrong when I suspect that people suck lol. Hey just think of it as her living up to that myspace name in her signature right.
