Yah that was the reason why the car over heated....... You own what shop? I can tell yah I have been to few track days and have seen many STi's and never seen 06 or 07 overheat. I have seen 05 overheat, that must of been the front of the car that caused it! Come on and be real, or be nice and sell me what your smoking.

Just have the engine replaced under warranty. Why spend extra money? My buddy's '07 STi is going through 1 quart of oil in 1,000 miles and number 2 plug is very black with oil. Stock car, 78K. Stupid Subaru with their weak pistons.
Our internals are already forged. Get the new engine, have Paul swap the pistons, done. You really don't need anything else, you don't even take it to the track.

Why rebuild a block that's already been compromised? Your block is probably in decent shape, but why take the risk & spend the extra money? If they're willing to put a new shortblock in it, take it and slip some new pistons in it.

Daniel, if the pain meds don't work for the full amount of time that they're supposed to, talk to your dental surgeon about it. I was on 8 hour pain meds and they were only lasting about 4.5 hours, so I had to end up changing painkillers and throwing an ibuprofen on top of it, just to get to 7 hours (and ride out the eighth to make it to the next dose). It was because the meds were clearing too quickly (I'm an athletic guy) and because I'm not a small guy either (not as big as you though haha).
All said, it took me about 5 days to recover enough to a real meal of solid food (and not look like a chipmunk). I think I lost about 15-20 pounds that one week after I had my wisdom teeth pulled.
