    Silvia: goddess of the forest. We can head out to hocking hills sometime, I'll show you what I mean.

    Update: glass was replaced with PGW glass. Looks fantastic. The molding split in the top corners, it was friggin' cold (40ish) when he installed it. The company will replace it free of charge to me. I've contacted Bryan at Slowmotion to tune the car. I cannot believe the Subaru love. Every WRX/STI waves. Reminds me of a Jeep Wrangler I used to drive. I'm excited to put many miles on Silvia (WRX's "name"). Patiently waiting for snow.
  5. I'm the first one home. I didn't take a coat. Met a guy named Corey with an eclipse. If your on here, nice meeting you. Black early 90s mustang, your car is loud sir. RX7 sounded so good I moved my car.
  6. I'll bring the wagon. It's the first weekend night I've had this. I think I have to come out.

    They are saying it will be replaced with an "oem quality" replacement. I feel I didn't buy a subaru with 26k miles and a promise with the windshield being corrected, then having to settle with something. I feel I am owed the oem. Subaru has a great safety record and I don't want aftermarket junk on my car. I told the salesman the aftermarket wasn't really an option, as it was promised to be fixed. He said he cannot help me.

    When I bought the car it had a chip in the windshield. It is in my line of sight. If I'm 100 ft. Behind someone it would be at the position of their passenger taillight, on average. This was something that was supposed to be corrected. A company did come out today to fill it with resin. It looks no better, honestly without the risk of is cracking if rather they didn't "fix it". I contacted the company that filled it and the dealership. The dealership noted on my purchase order that the glass would be repaired. I told the salesman what was going on. He said that doesn't sound right and would see what he can do. Since it was attempted to get fixed by resin, and the result was unfavorable, am I out of line to request the windshield be replaced with a genuine subaru glass? It is a bit distracting. The car has 26k miles but it is out of the three yr 36k mile warranty by a week.

    I picked up a 2011 WRX wagon today. 26k miles Invidia q300 exhaust is the only mod. Nice and deep sound. Love it. I'll get pics when I can. I'm at work now. I've wanted one of these since they came out in '11. Silver sport model. Bought from a dealer. Previous owner bought a STI. Maybe this was someone's car in here?
  15. That is Awesome! Congrats.
  16. 1) if you're over 60k miles, has the timing belt been changed? Records? Was the water pump done at the same time? Full service records are a huge plus! The Audi dealer might pull factory service records for you if you are friendly. 2) coolant should be bright & fresh (and PINK = Audi OEM). Look for any pink sludge accumulated around fittings = signs of leakage. Take off the engine cover & look in the V to check there. 3) Battery may be original, probably needs replace. Check whether cells have been topped up. Usually a good sign as to whether the care has had good care. If you twist off the caps, there are little min/max marks, assuming it is an OEM battery 4) check the diverter valves. There are two of them (round black about 3" diameter). When you start the car and idle you can put your hand on each one to see if they vibrate or are making funny noises. If you find one vibrating, pinch off the vacuum line to it & see if the noise goes away = valve is bad. Also check for boost leaks -- very common if mods have been done. If you find oil in the intercooler, the turbos may be on their way out. Very expensive repair (but an opportunity to drive the price down & upgrade to K04's or whatever). 5) oil leaks. Look around the timing belt cover seals, and along the passenger side and the drivers side of the engine block. timing chain tensioners & valve cover gaskets often leak, 6) check for ECU codes. STFA. Misfires could be bad sparkplugs, but you might find bad coil packs or other issues, especially if the engine has mods. O2 sensors fail over time and will also leave codes behind. Boost leaks will also show up on a code reader. 7) have a look at the oil cap. Is it bright & shiny? These guys want synthetic oil, and if it has not been used you will see dark accumulations on the cap. 8) check to make sure all the warning lights and displays in the guage clusters work. The display panel is notorious for losing pixels, and usually can't be repaired but can only be fixed by a somewhat spendy replacement. 9) stereo. Head units often failed. If it's been replaced, it is probably OK. Also if the speakers rattle on low bass they're probably shot. Probably other stuff, but that's top of mind. If the car has had good care it can run reliably on the original turbos past 150,000 miles. Mods (and/or abuse) can have a cascading set of problems, and unless you know a lot about the installer should probably be avoided. Found this on Audi World. I have been on google for the last 3 hours. So many people say RUN
  17. Found a car. Lock this up. Thanks for the suggestions. Not buying an Audi B5 S4. I am looking at an S4 on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Audi-S4-S4-Sedan-2000-Audi-S4-Low-Miles-Stage-2-StopTech-KK2-Coil-Overs-Custom-Recaro-/251569747590?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3a92b9b686&item=251569747590&pt=US_Cars_Trucks Does anyone know this car? I am somewhat automotive ignorant. I do not know what to look for on these as potential issues. I may be getting a promotion which will have me driving 30 miles one way to work and back. I want a "reliable" AWD car to get me there and back. Luckily, the route I will take to work and back will have me on Ohio's By-Ways. I am looking into purchasing a B5 S4, a WRX, possibly an R32 VW. Any suggestions, tips, help, etc. is welcome. Know of a local car? Let me know. Thanks, Art.
  18. I work at Lowe's Polaris. "Lowe's" is fine with people meeting there. As long as you are respectful, clean, keep sounds to a reasonable level, etc. Please keep in mind a few things, there is ALWAYS a police officer that sits near that location. We do have many apartments/condos/homes directly behind the building. I did speak with a few of you the last couple nights, everyone I spoke with was great.
  19. Ain't gonna lie, I love this. Funny ass video. Wish I was ten years younger, still had my system, it was May (or August), and I was on campus. Small wish for a big dick song. Splash.
  20. Coworkers truck. Black exterior, grey leather interior. 112k miles Start it out at $12500 KBB puts it at $15k Has rear entertainment and 3rd row. New tires. He got a job in Bellefontaine and needs something better on gas, I know he is open to trades. Looking for an equally priced small or midsize SUV. Starting to get rust on the rear bumper. The rear passenger window was recently broken due to a break-in, so it does not have privacy tint. He will be getting this done, but it currently is not tinted. No special reason why it was broken into other than it is a Tahoe, my Tahoe was broken into at work as well. We had a rash of break-ins at work a couple weeks ago (Polaris area). I don't know of any mechanical issues. If you are interested I will forward his info to you. Thanks.
