Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to start up a thread on the Lightning Red 08 STi that I purchased. Overall, I'm having a great time with the car. Handling is superb and engine response is amazing. I got the car last weekend and have not stopped driving it, going up to Yreka,CA (Don't Ask, it's a small @$$ town. lol) and back. So far I have taken off the Subaru/Impreza emblems. I have had some issues though unfortunately and the car is now in the shop. Here are the newest pix:

Glad I at least made it home before the breakage:

Week 1 over.

 

what exactly happened?

 

U-Turn + Full Lock + WOT + Over Greased CV + Possibly Faulty Metal ='s Blown Boot and No Happy Timez. I think...still waiting to hear back from the Shop.

 

random....... let us know what happends

 

yeah everyone keeps saying thats a random thing, I'm hoping it was a fluke too. Either that or I'm gonna give up the beast and take up basket-weaving. lol.

 

WELCOME to the suby world. you'll never regret it .... lol

 

donuts or figure 8's?

sorry to hear about the damage.

 

hope you took it back to the dealership under warranty.

 

lemon law lol

 

dam red 08/09's are really starting to grow on me


hope everything works out for you bro!

 

Wanting to know if that wheel that snapped the half shaft was an inside wheel when you were doing the u-turn as you described?

 

Yep it was the inside wheel during the U-Turn...Heard from the dealership yesterday, the car should be fixed by Weds. or Friday at the latest (due to Thanksgiving). More info as I get it later...

P.S> Please don't ever rent a Corolla, it's prolly the worst car I've ever driven. I can't even fit in the damn thing and I'm only 6'0 tall. I'm sorry if you own one.

peace.
