I don't know any of the people in this thread and my opinion means nothing...
never the less,
to the owner of the wrx, your car is a pos, you've called out two shops, hurting there reputations and costing them money. If you pulled up into one of my bays i'd throw a brick at your head. You cry about everyone elses work while it seems that your base platform is the problem. Man up and walk into the shop your running your mouth about and speak like a man to the people you feel have wronged you, not cry in the forumns about it. People are 10 ft tall and bulletproof on the phone and on the internet, and you sound like your full of shit, while the shops you complain about have been fully transparent about this, even posting dyno sheets. <------ my 2 cents.
