Kinda late to the party but dealers will usually show you their invoice for the car if you're a hardcore enough negotiator.

Happy Friday


Majofo that firehose thing wasn't too far from me in the city. I can't see your videos but after they put the hose through it, there was still a kink that disrupted water pressure. A bunch of people volunteered to lift and move the car a little bit to free up the kink in the hose.

Also I've heard that the car was brand new and only registered for 2 days at the time

It's hard to find parking in the city. Lol.

Morning all.

My buddy's WRX was having a high idle issue. Diagnosed TB at fault when snapping the butterfly valve spring back. Removed and cleaned TB, it was durttay. Lubed throttle cables. Put back together. During throttle cable adjustment, air control valve gasket leaked, got coolant in the IM. Started running rough. Removed all plugs (fuqin bish on a boxer) and cranked: twas dry, nothing came out. Put back together. Buddy going to get new gasket today. Still haven't adjusted the throttle cables, but it didn't seem to improve even after the cleaning and the lube.

Well it's either a TB cable getting stuck or the butterfly valve springs being worn out. My money is on the former, but have to get the engine running first before being sure we haven't fixed it.

Hey fat kid, start by doing your own maintenance with a service manual, then your own repairs as they come up. I started when I was 17 and by now have a wealth of knowledge and tools, all self taught.

He's a capacitor hater. As an electrical engineer, I must slap his feminine face with a bit of trout for such opinions.

Definitely man. I do my own service, as far as oil changes and all are concerned. I've done lots of suspension work as a body tech and replaced a power steering pump in my Accord. Just did the pressure switches in the TL a few days ago. Any farther than that and im lost. lol I need to read more im sure.

Its gotta be extra wide tho right? I thought everything was bigger in texas! lol

Panel boding adhesive is usually the sure all here. If you cant panel bond it back together, its a lost cause, man.
