Subaru FP green reliability
No matter how much you try to polish this turb, the guy still basically blackmailed FP the second he even opened his trap about do this or I do that.
A mod needs to just lock this thread, this is an evo forum, specifically an evo turbo/drivetrain forum. Isn't there a forum for other platforms where this belongs? Even if people just want to talk about FP customer service, there's a proper forum for that too. Mods please lock, delete or move

You know, this sort of incident really does act as a good test/filter/interview of sorts for potential customers. The people that a guy like this scares off never make power anyway. They end up driving around "on a safe rich toon" for years waiting for the next holy grail part that is supposed to turn them into a hero and eventually sell off their car without ever finishing what they set out to do in the first place. If I had to guess, I'd say there is a good number of Subaru guys that get manicures more often than they work on their cars, much less understand how to make power. I'll take some heat for that comment I am sure, but for some reason the Subaru guys have the most stupid *** questions and problems that I have ever heard (and I have been doing this a LONG TIME) and are always looking to blame somebody. There is a core of serious STI guys out there, and that is why we offer product. The posers can go fly a kite.
Some of you guys arent going to like my frank and politically incorrect attitude, and that is fine. FP does not equal Walmart.

I have a confession to make. I have been stuck in the atlanta airport all day long due to weather. It has been terribly boring. I have read every trash mag on the stands, all the papers, and had my fill of people watching. This spirited discussion has saved me today, I thank you all.
I vary rarely say anything at all. Anything I do say usually gets me into trouble, as you can see.
I do not truly believe that Subaru owners get manicures. I also do not truly believe that subaru owners are idiots. The plane is departing now, I must go, but thanks for the fun this afternoon and good back and forth. I sincerely apologize to everyone that I offended today, thanks for being good sports!

Hey, if me sitting behind this keyboard and typing a response maybe 5 times in one day, gets a bunch of people all riled up, its worth it to me. Pretty much free entertainment. Plus FP sucks, so i have no reason not too waste a couple extra minutes a day on this, if it could possibly scare of a future customer

I don't have time to read all the drama on other boards. But, we don't need it here. If you have an issue with a vendor then follow our rules posted in the vendor review forum. If the drama continues here, then we will take the easy route and remove the participants permanently.

Its the internet, sarcasm doesn't translate well.

And to the OP: FWIW, the time I had the green in my Evo I was very happy with it. I then sold it to a friend of mine, who installed it in his Evo 8 and he hasn't had any problems with it as of today

It's been a while since I posted on this board.. I was pretty active here when I was considering an EvoX, but eventually, I decided on an 07 STI, and I'm very happy with my purchase.
I've never put down Evos, and I greatly respect them. Sometimes this board can be kind of rough, but that's much like NASIOC. Really, you'll find something to rub yourself raw on no matter where you go. But there are always a solid underlying group of people who are sensible on such a long standing board.
Ultimately, I appeal to those people. Look at ForcedPerformance's behaviour on this thread, and in the thread on IWSTI. How long before a similar event occurs with an Evo and he turns on you too? Regardless of STI vs Evo, or Subaru vs Mitsu, when you boil it down and come to the core of the issue, is this TRULY a business you want to support? And if you have a problem with your purchase from them, are you CERTAIN that you will get good, respectful service? Or will you be told that you spend more time in a hair salon than under your Evo?
THOSE are the questions you should be asking yourself.

FP has bent over backwards for myself and other people I know to insure 100% satisfaction. It was several years back on my own experience so maybe things have changed as they seem to have gotten a lot bigger since then?
This thread was poorly handled on their part though. But this wouldn't be the first time I've seen the owner of a good company, with great service, get sucked into an internet battle and come out with **** all over them.
