Jones - ultimate sleeper would be an STI engine inside of a Forester. Too bad we don't get those from the dealership here.

How was Dark Knights? I haven't seen it.

its been done and its not that big of a deal to do. the forester came 2.5xt all thats needed is swapping the sit related turbo bits on and you have a sit. That was my initial jump into subi tho, i bought an A4 because it was impossible to find a 2.5xt forester.

plus how cool would it bee to hear people complain you just put a smaller 2L engine in a car that originally had a 2.5. Their first words would be should of bought a STI. Then you then them for a ride and show them the smooth *** throttle and the face raping boost all the way through the 8500 red line and they forget all about the STI

WOW ECStuning really....

Should I feel insulted that the guy offered me "I'll give you $20 credit for future purchases, take it or leave it"?

After I paid $108 for shipping and I still havent received all my parts. He wasnt even planning on giving me credits until I brought it up. Poor customer retention program.

It probably does not apply to most of you, but their shipping cost to Canada are outrageous. I placed this order since July 3!!!!

Flew my little airplane up to Oshkosh WI (EAA AirVenture) and camped on the field for most of last week. The first day back at work today after vacation's over really was a bummer.

for reasons like this. I avoid ECS

You still waiting on hardware? STILL i would call and raise hell and tell them to fix this. Multiple times, they will soon realize its easier to give you 30 bucks worth of bolts. If you tell a place your going to call back every single day until you get your bolts they tend to not want to deal with that.

DEVIL DEVIL DEVIL DEVIL DEVIL DEVIL DEVIL DEVIL DEVIL DEVIL DEVIL DEVIL

A - I still can not log in and stay logged in. its only on my mac which is my main computer. pc stays logged on, running vm fusion on my mac and going to log in and see if it holds.

B - HAve any stock 300z parts left in your arsenal. I got a friend who has no brain and needs our help. He had 20 garret 60s on it and blew up 3 engines and now is just running stock but yet kept the giant 770 injectors and its rich as **** barely running and smoking like a BBQ. ALso has massive Tial BOVS. Embarrassing, trying to get it back to stock so it doesn't embrass us

I received the new hardware kit yesterday. And there was a tracking number, after all the times I've asked them for one. Poor customer service. The shipping was 2-6 days, I received it on the 8th day. Poor coummunication with their customer service and bad attitude.

I shoulda done what everyone else did. Bought it off FCP.
