Toyota Techs Blowing up Subaru Engine Recalls

[Thirdgen89GTA]

$5500 for a new engine? Damn. Time to go to the junkyard, find a 2003 1500 and....we’ll, you know.

The RS engine was about $7500 with tax just for the long block sans bolt-on parts and labor.

Its about $4-$5k for a built short block with core.

Fuck Id rather drive a Wbody shitbox FWD GM car than a Boxer engine anything.....

Not even this?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Pretty sure that dude is like 13 so surprised he doesn’t like the brz.

I have an affected Subaru and dealerships reportedly only have one specialized tool to do the job so currently my local dealer is booked through summer to get this done.

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

That’s crazy, I still would daily an 06/07 sti.

A little piece of my soul just died........

I had to leave my Mustang at the armory and hitched a ridr with my buddy to the hotel here in Fargo in his.... wait for it..... his.... ughhhh..... umm........ ok.

I had to get a ride in his 12 Sti.

Zero fucking plows out except the interstate.

But at least I dont have to cry myself to sleep we pulled 4 cars out on the way from the armory to the hotel.

Excuse me now while I mourn my piece of soul I just lost.

You hit your head today.

Nope, definitely did not.

 

[Flyn]

I daily drove my Cobra and it was awesome in the snow with snow tires. Could do 80 mph burnouts, too. Started to go sideways on me on the highway when I punched it.

Sorry to hear you had to drop the Mustang off.

 

[10sec]

All cars are awesome with the properly sized and weather equipped tires. If they're not awesome, you're doing it wrong.

 

[SHARKBITEATTACK]

Best Subaru of all time

 

[Turk]

Drive the m3 every day, in all conditions. Does just fine in snow with cheap snow tires. The wrx was better but what’s the point, you’re stuck behind everyone else regardless.

 

[willizm]

Should have been a 2j....

Meanwhile at the Toyota service department. See’s b58 MKIV Supra, “hold my beer.”
