RSX Type-S Blows his Tranny and Motor
Look wut my friend found i just wanted to share with you guys too and don't make the same mistake sad sad
I just copyed the whole thing to it here check it out
Copied it from http://celica.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb...c;f=6;t=009656
They typed:
"A couple of weeks ago, I was cruisin with my friend on a Sunday in his RSX-S. His only mods are: intake, exhaust, and a Hondata Flash. Well, he decides to drop the hammer and show me what his car has. He started redlining every gear. He was at about 7k RPMs in 5th, and for whatever reason, he decides to downshift into 4th. The gear box on a RSX-S is real close together and it's a 6 speed. So, instead of shifting to 4th, he accidentally shifted into 2nd gear right around 7k RPMs. All of a sudden, we hear a "boom" and it started to stink real bad. Right after that, we heard the chunks of the block falling out from underneith the car and hitting the chassis. The smoke got so bad we couldn't see infront of us, so he slammed on the brakes and pulled to the shoulder. We jump out of the car to realize his motor was on fire. Needless to say, we put the fire out before the fire truck came, and got a friend to pull us back home."

Hmmm yeah this is definitely old news... and to the guy that said he should have taken it back in for warranty, I say 
to that, didn't you see what happened to the kid that upped the boost on his WRX, blew it up, then bragged that he was going to get it fixed under warranty on a WRX board? The other people of the board sent that thread to the area Subaru dealers and also to corporate, and the kid had to pay for every cent of the damages (i.e. he was dealing in FRAUD 
). Then the kid comes back crying and whining on the board and acting like the people on there were the bad guys. Own up to your mistakes, don't try to weasel out and get other people to pay for them. That's just as bad as all these THIEVES who steal and strip all our stuff!
