So the 22 year old guy that bought my STi text me today.

Which was no big deal. He's been cool and texts me to let me know how he's modding it and telling me how he loves it... not that I care, but I don't mind the updates

When he bought it he said it was getting a cage with some other goodies, then racing it in a street class event...



When he test drove it, first thing I thought to myself was "Well, this thing will be popped in a few days" because of how he drove it...

So... a little over a month later in his warm up laps at the event...


I drove it like a bat out of hell, but never STUPID... Anyone who knows me can testify to that... It was my fourth Subaru and I knew how to drive the hell out of my cars while maintaining the hell out of and caring for them... He must have only known the former. When I sold it it had no smoking issues or knock... It was solid.

Oh well, he's probably getting a built motor in it now. He had a late model turbo Z when he was a senior in high school, I'm sure the money won't be an issue...


Poor STi

 

Man, that sucks to hear!

A buddy of mine sold his VF34'd bugeye wagon to a kid in socal, pretty quickly the part out was listed on NASIOC

 

 

ouchy

 

This is why i never wanna see what happens to my car once i sell it. More likley than not i'll be disappointed.

 

I think he wanted to pop it so his parents would get him a motor quite honestly... but idk for sure. I knew he was going to blow it either way lol...

 

cool story!

 

that was nasioc not so cal's fault

 

haha

 

Late model z isn't that pricy, but they are a lot to handle. Easy to spin those turd pies.

 

Turbo charging a late model NA car isn't something a senior in high school can afford as a result of having their own job is the point I was making, not that he drove a Z.

 

it could have been plenty pricey if he was a senior in ~94. those tts were like mid 40k iirc

 

sad sad sad

 

So the engine just blew up? Pics aren't working for me right now cuz of my phone, so I assume its a picture of something blowing up? How badly?


Sucks to hear man... I know its rough to know you're old sube is hurting... It's like we have a connection with our old cars.

 

What happened when he test drove it? Any specifics?
