yeah wheel techniques in san jose does good work but is pricy. I say you get em painted up something righteous to make yourself feel better. Don't feel bad man people are shiesty........thats why they call em stealerships. I knew a guy who worked where the cars come in off the boats. Ford cars.......cobras and lightings with only 3 miles on them had already done burnouts for half that length and some donuts too..........lets just say almost all the cars get raped so don't worry.

Don't be a *****, and make capitol pay for that rim being fixed...................

Just cause a stir.....................if they won't treat you right than it is our job to SHAME CAPITOL subaru and their shiesty ways.

 

290 miles is a lot but there are 2 schools of thought on engine breaking-in. I got an extra $2000 knocked off my 05 because it had 93 miles on it. I had done nearly 20 hard miles myself when I test drove it, but my engine makes the right amount of power and has never burnt a drop of oil after a perfectly reliable 45K miles.

Some people say you need to hard break a car-in to seat the piston rings with the cylinder wall. That debate is a whole can of worms I don't want to open.

point is, you have a goddam awesome car that will have just as many nicks and scratches on it within 3 months anyway. As soon as you mod it and get it on a dyno you will see if there are any issues, there probably won't be.

Mod it, Race it, Enjoy it. This is a happy time for you right now.

 

I think we need to clarify and seperate Capitol Subaru into two different catagories: Capitol's Sales Department and their Parts/Labor Department.

Parts/Labor at Capitol is second to none and by far the best service I (and quite a few others) have received.

 

Does anyone really keep their stock wheels on? Just sell those and go wider!

 

oh...where do you guys go to get parts for your car anyway?? like bars, wheels (looking to get a set of advan later...way later, after I finish my MA), and some other after markets...

TONS of great local vendors.

And if you're looking for actual subaru or SPT parts you can try genuinesubaruparts.com or subarugenuineparts.com. Can't remember which.

Or Santa Cruz subaru or a couple other local subaru dealerships.

Or of course in the classifieds.

 

lol i was thinking of buying their lemon 07 white sti at capitol... who was ur sales guy? all their cars seem very very fishy...

first their 04 silver wrx ran like crap... they had a completely modded out wrb 07 sti with cf hood... they had a grey limited 07 sti with over 30k miles! and they had the white 07 sti's motor replace... i was very tempted to buy that white sti but eventually said id think about it...

 

I knew there is GBM and LIC, which one you guys usually go?? So I can meet up with you guys, and I will bring my camera there to do some photo shoot for you all...

Speed Element is in Fremont as well... Right in your neck of the woods...

 

Holy crap 290 miles and you bought it new... Not too smart on your part. There's a reason why it was the "last one".

 

Well if I were you, since those 290 miles are questionable in how hard it was driven. I would take your car to a mechanic and have it briefly inspect the car to see if there's any abusive evidence. And maybe it can be repaired or replaced before something worse happens.

 

I think it's called an impulsive buy, hope it doesn't come back to haunt you.

You are getting your master's right now?
