But he has a Subaru. Are you saying he bought something else with it? Were they giving away free WRXs with the good car?

I think they had a promotional event, trade in a crappy car and get a Subaru for free. Maybe they needed scrap metal or something.

So you'd keep turning in Subarus to get free Subarus to turn in? Sounds dumb to me. F*cking Subaru guys.

No I'd keep turning in lancers that explode at 8 PSI of boost, lol.

And how many of those are there?

Dammit so imaginary ones don't count? I guess there's what, a few hundred blown up lancers instead of a few thousand? lol.

Interesting. I'd love to meet these hundred Lancer owners.

Seriously, the only ones I remember blowing up were overboosting, wrong spark plugs, and a failed FMU. I'm not going to sit here and search for blown turbo threads, but I know you're making more of it than there is.

And for Christ's sake, it's an NA motor. Any idiot who tries to pour in boost without forged internals should know what they're doing anyways.

Oh shut up, ya puss. You have twice the WHP as me. Go do a four-wheel burnout or something.

Hahahaha that I do, that I do. I like my transmission to be in one piece so I'll have to pass on the burnout.

Holy blast from the past Batman. I sold the kit to a local person but I never heard whether he installed it or passed it on himself. It was an almost complete kit too, it just needed a new intercooler and the odd hose.
