To Anyone That Knows A Thief Selling A Clutch

Until recently my car has been sitting at Irvine Subaru for the past 2 months. About 3 weeks ago, during the weekend while the dealership was closed, some jackass/jackasses (disgruntled employee/s?) decided to bash in my drivers side window, open my trunk and help themselves to an ACT clutch and Toda flywheel i had in an ACT box. Irvine Subaru got me a new window and is in the process of reimbursing me for the stolen parts through their isurance. I just wanted some of you guys to keep your eyes out and spread the word about these two items...im sure this punk will try to sell these parts locally. If anyone can help me find this guy/girl (hey, chicks are thieves too) and possibly get these parts back (the parts have certain marks/numbers that I would be able to identify) i would be glad to compensate you monetarily or even give you the parts if they are ever recovered (doubt it, but these parts are worth about 1k) but mainly i just wanna bash this motherf!@#$rs head in and rip his/her fingernails out with pliers. SO please keep an eye out, thanks guys.

Irvine... woah did you change your post cause i swear i was just answering a question. Any how yeah a little bit of a problem, actually its other people that happen to be their. I had one minor problem and I have brushed it off and actually go their still for service. I just keep on a eye on everything! Id feel bad to discourage people to go because there are some good guys their and some are friends of friends. And again I had a great sales experience, my first car with manual trans and Jeremy who sold me the car offered to make sure I was completely confident w/ manual (didnt need it though).

sorry I derailed your thread!

I would check the for sale threads on all WRX forums and check ebay.

Good luck to you!

May I ask why your car is at the dealer for 2 months?
I was having a KAAZ gearset installed, but the parts were taking a while to come in, so my car was just sitting there.

So Irvine Subaru install aftermarket parts too huh...........new knowledge to me.
Irvine Subaru has a performance division called SPI motorsports, they can pretty much get their hands on any type of high performance part and Sti goodies from Japan. They can insall anything from a shiftknob to a dog box, turbo upgrade, etc.

They do mod work, but they make sure you know that they dont want you coming back for warranty issues once non-subaru mods are made. For a birthday gift my dad was going to have a bov installed on my car, before they said that there was a specific one that would not void warranty. When the time came they wouldnt install it unless he signed a waiver stating that warranty was thus voided. Bov never happened.

South Coast Subaru also sells aftermarket parts AND does installs as well.
