if you learned to drive stick on this car than that's probably what killed the tranny, they aren't known for being super strong, but if you aren't an idiot you should be fine.

 

Well, I'd suggest starting to save some money to put aside for repairs. If you show the willingness to help with the costs of things breaking, then he may respect that, considering you're putting some of YOUR money on the line. I'd also recommend that you not mention modding the car for more HP, and drive it responsibly.

 

Sign an agreement to pay for all maintenance and car insurance costs yourself. Your dad shouldn't have to pay for possible future repairs to yet another tranny or blown engine from mods like the mbc you installed without engine management. By assuming financial responsibility, he might be willing to let you continue to keep the car. The reality is that if your dad made the car payments and the vehicle title is in his name, it's his car to do as he wishes.

and don't ever use ight again, here or in the real world.

 

Put shaving cream on his hand and tickle his nose! If thet dosen't work kick him in the Nards.

 

ight????? Native word of North or South America ? Maybe the state bird of what state ? Just kidding bud . Peace ...

 

dont let him sell it, tranny (especially wrx 5spd of 02) is a wear item and so is clutch. Tell your dad you dont want to **** him off but he needs to get his facts straight. Sounds like the direction he is headed may end up costing more than to just keep the wrx. You got a new tranny, i mean there is no reason to dump it, parts arent taht expensive.

In all seriousness have him take the car to get checked out buy a good sub dealership (HAHA) or a good mech. He is just worrying about something that probably wont happen. Its an 02 i m ean how long does he expect the clutch to last, he should kno wrx has weak tranny/clutch especially with a kid driving it

 

whats the alternative?

If you were to sell the WRX, what car does he suggest?

 

thats like saying the engine is a wear item . . .

 

bump. kid needs to learn to drive and pay for his damages

 

Since you live in Jersey, be sure to mention that the AWD is added safety in the snow. It does snow there, right?

And like everyone else has already said, quit beating the crap out of the tranny.
