jmorris6689 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Update time!! I got a call earlier today from the shop that has my car. The motor is back together and being put into the car. Should be ready to go later this week. So far my impression of forced air technologies (the shop in Phoenix) is that this shop is great. They have maintained good communication with me and gave me a few options on what I could do considering the situation I was in. They have rebuilt the motor quickly and they replaced all work or broken parts all for about $3200. They had plenty of other car ahead of me but were gracious enough to make my car one of the top priorities. Earlier this year the same shop cleaned my block that I had built into the motor that most recently failed. I went to go pick the block up from them and the owner of the shop told me don't worry about a bill there is no charge. This shop has gone far beyond any other shop I've every dealt with. I'm impressed with the work I've seen done by them, and I can't wait to have my car back especially since it is now going to be reliable. Soon as I start my new job in Tennessee and get a savings built up I'm going to have these guys build me a nice 10sec or better motor. But if any of y'all reading this are ever in Phoenix and need subaru stuff go see F.A.T. great shop and nice professional staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmorris6689 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 After I get a few years under my belt working at Cummins I would like to transfer out west some where I love snowboarding and the east coast just doesn't compare to the west for snowboarding.

jmorris6689 Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Well last night I actually stayed in flagstaff the car did ok on the climb up there, but I made it all the way to Amarillo Texas today, the motor has 1300 miles on it and is doing well. I got it retuned last night before I left Phoenix buy a guy that has a pretty nasty 62/62 legacy that turned into a submarine a few weeks ago... Any ways nice guy and a huge help his name on here is zorro, and if your reading this Travis thanks again I appreciate it Edited August 10, 2013 by jmorris6689 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
