Cooling Fan Relay Issue now a recall campaign
CarlosLGT replied to Opie's topic in Warranty Issues & Problems
^^^ actually the fan issue was 8 mos., my ECM was on order for 1.5 mos., just got it done on Thurs.! Oh BIG IMPOTENT NOTE... don't forget to bring in your spare key with the CODE!!! They made no mention of it in the letter or there at the $tealer, so I got to drive the 36 mile round trip to go grab'em from home in an *underpowered* H3 (baby Hummer/5 cyl.) that gave my kidneys a beating worthy of Tommy "The Hitman" Hearns, not to mention the temp gauge running up on the Nehwall Pass. <pfffffffft> I digress... -

There's L&J right across from Yimi's up here in the SCV too by the way... They do all the painting for RBS bits. Aside: I want the '67 RHD Mini they have in there, maybe squeze a boxer in there...? <evil grin> <--- finally not winking anymore, & RBS grille! -

NEWSFLASH: Big Valley of Van Nuys sold their Subie franchise to Casa (i.e. Hummer/Cadi) & they're now Subaru of Sherman Oaks (SoSO?) If you have a warranty item or just need a dealer visit, check them out. In particular, ask for Daryl the head tech to work on your car. ECU is on order May have to swing by Yimi's Fri. if you'll be there Paul...?? <edit> BTW, they'll be having a car chow & bbq soon, maybe have a factory rally car, etc... -

CarlosLGT replied to Rommel's topic in Southern California
Just wanna give a shout out to my peeps @ Yimisport, Paul Yim, & that other guy..??? Oh yeah, Paul Lung! You guys rock! I now have a car that runs as God himself intended, w/ a new ACT kit, the secret sauce recipe for the tranny/diff fluids, no more crunching, or hard shifts <thunk>, xtra smooth engagement w/ great pedal effort. And to boot, a "while you're in there" mod of the Megan Racing down pipe, the car feels <Tony> Ggggrrrrrreat! Ooh I almost forgot to mention, I dig the supercharger hiss between shifts from the air intake resonator removal dealio too! It's almost like a psedo BOV! Woot! Thanks again for everything guys, the 2nd honeymoon is now officially underway, as evidenced by the sheat eatin' grin on my face since I got it back yesterday. -

Ding! there's another plug for ya Paul. I may hit ya up when I do the cat-back. I promise, no more qwisecracks about the wifey's Triby! I actually think that's the purdiest one yet, what color is that? I love dark cars, esp. black, but never again...silver always looks clean. As for my bro, well, some think he's my pops when we're together, taller, bald, & has a Santa beard right now, don't ask. He's a bldg. contrator, drives a big ugly ol' Dodge van, probly seen'em. I'll PM my cel over, maybe headin' up there tonight, if so I'll look ya up. ~C'los PS. "LooksLikeanEvo" takin' notes, those #s are righteous! Irie mon:cool: ! -

I figured he'd been here. See, now that's what I needed to hear, err, read, hehe! I just dunno why some of these clutches are crap, even when the car is treated right. Mmmm, yeah that's niiiice. LOL, that's funny! Yeah if it was during the day I was home for lunch. Cool, my brother lives off Bouquet up there too, condos on Susan Beth. Don't worry, I wont be buggin' ya for help doin' the turn signal clearing or the dome light mods! Been there & done that w/ my SE-R. I just wanna get this clucth in & maybe start w/ the catback & ecu. I just emailed Yim today, and will be calling tomorrow to schedule an appt. Sorry, but the Tribeca has a face only a mother could love! -

Probably, I always say "hi" or honk to fellow Subie pilots. Looks kinda weird when I do it in my mom's (RIP) ol' G20 though. Guilty your honor, that's mine, 18" RPM2s (pita to clean btw), debadged, looks like the forum banner car minus the wing & wiper Bought last April from a real nice guy (hmmm, maybe too nice? ) named Michael S. off the 14 fwy/sierra hwy, so you know him? How? Yeah I have it here, but for some reason I thought theflywheel had the replaceable surface. Guess I'm used to my NISMO FW in the track slut, R&R the pad for $50 & you're good to go. Oh yes Paul Y. will do it alright, just gotta get a date from him. Can you purt in a good word? Not driving down to Torrance, no way, I meant taking it into the $tealer before getting it fixed just for shits & giggles. Then I'm thinkin', "why?", I just don't wanna go thru the hassle of bitching until I'm blue in the face, only to have them say "sorry, not warranty work". Maybe I'm just getting older & don't wanna deal w/ the bs anymore <shrug>. Like I said I love the car, aside from a few nitpicks here & there. Like why they couldn't make both front windows auto up/down? I digress... Let me know when you wanna meet up sometime Paul, love to get to know the local guys. If you know the town well, we're in the Old Orchard I tract, & you? ttys -

Wow, if that guy drove here from Upland to see a DP install, that's hardcore! I used to drive from here 52 mi. to Glendora for work. :/ BTW, I am no wrench-monkey, but for 'shadetree' installs a dp is a 4 vs. a clucth like an 8 on the 10 scale (awd 9?)
