wow, now that sh*t is funny....we're all having a good laugh in the bimmer boards. well, anyway, thanks for humoring me...that was a good one....although I certainly don't agree with statman goin out of his way to RAT on someone...that's not cool at all...but anyway, don't wanna start another thread on this crap so peace ya'll....

 

He may seem like one, but in reality he's just protecting his own interests. Subaru pays to repair a car under waranty, but who pays for subaru? It's customers! The money they pay for illegitimate waranty claims goes right into the cost of the car. It forces subaru to either raise their prices or take cost-cutting measures to offset their losses. Which means with this kind of thing going on, subaru's customers bank roll the expense.

There is no victimless crime.

that is too funny that kid ot what he deserved, I am not one for snitching but you know what if someone fet that strongly about it then go right ahead. I personally think that in a way the WRX is a bad thing because a lot of people are turning the subaru community (niche, tight knit, etc. ) into the DSM world. I have heard stories from friends about people getting jacked at meets and all types of other probelms and frankly I see things going that way. In So Cal people used to wave or stop and talk about cars etc. now I don't even look at other WRX drivers I had one start getting all aggro because I asked if he was on the boards. his response was (I will abbreviate for space sake) "you want to race" "your car sucks" and my favorite "I am going to kick your ***" sometimes people you have to police your own. Consider this hopefully one less idiot to deal with.

 

man some peoples kids! I realy dont know what to think about the whole thing. The kids ganna blow his new engine, think thats clear, and as far as the waranty goes heres my thoughts. Its all pretty simple IF YOU MOD YOUR CAR TOU LOSE YOUR WARANTY!! Now I know thats not always the case, but its a good rule of thumb. Thats the risk we all run. You change the boost, put on a new ecu, new turbo, any thing that changes the way the engine runs and you void the waranty on that engine. Now you put on a mbc and your a/c gos out thats a diffrent story, but you still might be coverd. I mean damn the sti muffler you can get from subaru has a disclamer about how it may void your waranty. just my tc

 

I cant believe whats going on here. Statsman is really messed up. I cant BELIEVE he did that to a fellow WRX owner. That kid made the mistake of tuning his car the wrong way and coming on to this board asking for help. How could you RAT on him like that? You people act like lying to the dealer is a horrible crime. You act like the STEALER is always honest with you and doesnt try and scam you all. THEY DO! Plus you are all hypocrats cause if you were in his shoes you would want to be covered under warranty as well. Trying to look all high and mighty by turning him in. YOU ARE A RAT, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A RAT.

A friend of mine will be a WRX owner soon and I WARNED him about this forum and told him NOT to post anything here when he gets his car.

You guys all suck.

 

Agreed. Unbelievable what some of you guys do on here.

The kid made a mistake, no doubt, but what's a damn engine to SOA? Let SOA pay for it, he paid for it up front when he got the car anyway. Dealers = stealers, cars = profit margin, a EJ20 to SOA = jack shït. In addition to that, if the car had been fast in the first place, he wouldnt have had to try and tune it.

 

Yeah, whats the cost of parts and labor for one car? Oh wait, what about the next schmuck that does it. And the next, so on and so on. . .

No, dont let SOA pay for it. The kid f*cked up his engine on his own. Warranties are there to cover defects from the factory, not the general publics idiocy. Not only did he grenade his engine, he posted about it on a public forum. Then he admitted his own attempts to defraud multiple dealers. And yes, he did pay for the engine when he bought the car. He paid for the one he grenaded. SOA is under no obligation to replace it for him.

Bwahahahahahahahaha! Thats funny! How many auto enthusiasts do you know say that their "stock" car is fast enough for them, and they dont need to do anything to it. Note I said enthusiasts, not just your average consumer. Fact is, I could drive a top fuel dragster and I would still be doing stuff to it to make it faster.

 

SNITCHES ARE B!TCHES

 

First I would like to say that I think the WRX is a dead sexy machine, with the ***** to back it up. If I could afford one, then I'd probably be driving one.

Secondly I would like to say that I'm a Honda guy. yes yes yes, I know. I'm evil.

Someone sent me the link to the previous thread, and i had to add my 2 cents. All I really had wanted to say was "THANK GOD"! Up until this point I never thought of WRX drivers as dumb kids (which most of your are not), I had a certain respect for WRX drivers. Driver's of WRXs didn't have punk kids to make them look bad as me and my fellow Civic drivers have, and which a few of you have pointed out. But now, finally.. When I see a young kid in a WRX I can finally say "Damn WRX driver", much like how you guys say the same thing when you see a young kid in a civic.

I know most of you are not punk kids, and not *******s, but now I have just as much right to say it as any of you.


Thirdly, would you guys stop arguing with yourselves. Yes yes yes, the WRX2fast4u was moron, and an *******, and he will get what he deserves. If you're going to own an expensive car, and then screw around with it, you better have the cash to fix it. It's sorta like BMW driver's that get pissed off to find out it'll cost $1k to replace their exhaust with factory BMW parts. As for staty, I'm rather sure what he did was out of pure annoyence and anger. If I was a WRX owner, I know I would have been tempted to do the exact same thing. I don't know if I would have actually done it, but email makes stuff like that realllly easy.

I don't know who said it, but he/she was right when he said that when a person screws with his motor, blows it, and then defrauds subaru into paying for a new one, all subaru driver's pay for it. The money for that motor is not going to be coming out of some rich person's pocket at Subaru. It's coming out of yours, or another new subaru customer.


Lastly, thank god I drive a cheap *** '91 civic. I don't have to be as paranoid as some of you are about tunning (which is understandable). Personally I can blow a motor and save up some cash and easily buy a new one.


Anyway, be nice guys.

 

AND HE DRIVES A HONDA LOL
Atleast the WRX's have some sort of power...not a 90HP briggs and straton....

 

Damn domestic drivers.


The 90hp motor was in the DX hatchback, in the SI was a 103-106 hp 1.6 SOHC motor. I don't have either of those motors in my car. Secondly it's not a briggs and straton, it's a General Electric sewing machine! Get it RIGHT!

 

Since the admins think I should have to bury my thread deep within this one here is my link.

This is a quote from another thread, just trying to keep the threads combined.

"I was forwarded that "Major Engine Problem!!!" thread, by a friend of mine that owns a WRX but is getting rid of it for a real man's car (03 Cobra). Some of you guys are major F' Heads for turning that guy into the local Seattle dealerships, because he managed to get his car covered under warranty. Most of you would do the same thing.

First off, that WRX you guys love IS THE FUNNIEST LOOKING CAR I'VE SEEN IN A LONG LONG TIME! I laughed at my buddy for getting one, but he's thankfully seen the light and bought himself a new Cobra. You freaking rice burners would have done the same thing in getting your car covered under warranty. Most of you morons are probably kids in the first place and can't afford to get a new engine on the money you make flipping burgers at McDonald's.

I hope someone pays you back for your actions!!!!"
