My motor was disassembled and the heads were sent out for inspection...when they passed inspection (no cracks etc) it is cleaned and rehoned or whatever the word is...I had 125k on mine and they were able to be cleaned up and reused...

And both were three weeks or less from first phone call/deposit to driving away from dbtuned

If you want I can scan my invoices and email them to you

 

Crazy. No it's all good. I trust the man. I'm sure if it came out less he wouldn't hold to that. Just like if it came out more I wouldn't doubt it's validity.

But like I said... man if I'm spending $7k I might as well spend 8-9 and get a whole car. I could go 6 speed with brembos. Flip the interior, glass, good body panels. Scrap the rest. Flip my entire driveline for cheap and end up spending a lot less and having an entirely different car. haaaa.

Or just drive my car until it blows to kingdom come. Sell it for $2000 and find myself a forester its or a newer wagon. If I sold my car for $2-3k right now and added the $7k I'd need to rebuild it I'd have $10k. $10k buys me a half way decent newer or lower mileage wagon. I'm not that attached to my car. Haaa.

$4-5k... sure. $7-8k. No way. Not unless it's 2.5 liter/6 speed when I'm done... and vinyl wrapped. haaaa.

 

I checked the invoice...motor #2 was put in at 125k...reused heads...the rods and crank were "requalified parts" so they were cheaper than brand new parts

Motor #2 at 141k got rod knock...paul determined that a torn old turbo inlet - bad a/f ratios was the cause so he gave me a new motor (#3) it also got a new turbo inlet, brand new rods and crank.. (he also puts new parts in other peoples motors now as extra insurance since mine had a few issues)

So that could make a big difference in price for the first one

 

i'd give you 2k for your car right now.. lol

on another note i heard its supposed to rain on Sunday..

 

That'd be a bargain! Wheels and suspension worth that much. Then you could blow up the rest of the car.

But hell... if it comes to that I'll keep you in mind.

Right now I'm looking at doing a vinyl wrap on it when it's down that will BLOW you guys away. I'm telling you right now it will be the sickest looking wagon you've ever seen. Period.

 

Too bad the new impreza sport doesnt come in a turbo model

 

That will be the WRX.



The new impreza is ugly as all hell. UGLY! I hate them.

 

Chance of rain is only 30% on Sunday and 90% on Saturday... As of now the meet is rain or shine for Sunday

 

You guys should be just fine on Sunday. It should blow through by early morning. Might still be wet so be careful. Have fun. See you on the next one.



Oh... and you guys should org the hammy/bam caravan.

 

that would be pretty cool, but we would need someone who knows mt hammy pretty well. You should lead lol

 

bellmouth 3"? might have to pick that up

 

If we caravan from Monterey-Gilroy-DB then we'll probably be in the huge caravan from DB.

 

Deleted because post didn't say anything ... LOL

 

kind of what? That post tells me nothing?

Just shows me pictures of cars I hate. They took the nice elements of the legacy and screwed them up. It's seriously the ugliest car I've ever seen from subaru. I hate it. Wheels are gross. Everything is gross. I saw a two tone a couple weeks ago. I wanted to throw cut my eyes out or throw rocks at it.

I'd rather keep what I have until Subaru figures out what they're doing... or buy a 2011 hatch.

 

This.
