[robertpaige]

Isn't that Robert aka thesubielover's old whip? Engine bay looks familiar.. That thing is fast.

[Legacyturboguyin253]

Yes it is.


And. Ya faster now the leaking y pipe is fixed. Maybe 1 day ill get a rob tune!

[kimokalihi]

You're going from a 93ss to an 09 gtr? That's a big jump.

[Legacyturboguyin253]

I will have both the SS will be a car for snow and times when I don't want to park the GTR some place.


I have a EVO 10 mr before the legacy. I sold that to make way for the GTR this summer.

Those wheels look alot better in gold then the pink that came on them. I love the car, and we traded pretty quick when we got together in tacoma, so the salvage title slipped my mind. That thing it freaking sweet though, I only traded because I finally realize when I need out of these older cars, A dependable daily that wont suck the gas. I now am currenbtly trying to source a 05-0 wrx. Just got pre approved, so that'll be the garage car. Sean, if you want to trade back seeing that you dont seem pleased, thats fine. That engine alone it with $3-5k in the work that was done. With paperwork to prove. The worst mileage I got in that car on boost everywhere was roughly 150(-,+) miles in ONE tank!

Hey Robert trade back and then trade me for my white 93SS. i'd gladly take that thing with a salvage title. The motor is a beast.

[Legacyturboguyin253]

You snooze you lose.

[robertpaige]

Yeah ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What was the wheel and tire size you had on the black auto ss?

[Legacyturboguyin253]

18x9 + 28 and 225/40/18. I'm gonna go even wider on this one

[Legacyturboguyin253]

Get a new 5 speed put it Pick the car up and on the way home the can seals went out

[robertpaige]

Damnit. That's a bummer.

[Legacyturboguyin253]

Yea tell me about it. It's one thing after another with this thing
This is the gear set that came out of the car. Their was about 1 qt of trans fluid in it

[Legacy777]

Is that second gear?

[Legacyturboguyin253]

The first gear that was in the car

[Alphius]

Think lack of fluid was what broke it?

[Legacyturboguyin253]

I'm not sure it was broken when we traded but I think could be a good cause

[Thesubielover]

Yeah, I am currently in the loop with jiffy lube. There manager is running around trying to find me answers. Word of advice!!! Even if you work 12's like me and dont get much time to do thinghs yourself, even that simple, dont take anything to jiffy lube, EVER!

[Legacyturboguyin253]

Jiffy little lube used lol

[Thesubielover]

Yeah, no kidding. They are going to honor the price of the swap or replacement. How much did it run you to replace everything? I'll see you tomorrow. What time is good for you?

[kimokalihi]

Jiffy lube is no good. My gf went there for an oil change the other day and came home with her tire pressure light on. One tire at 45 psi 3 tires at 25 psi. Sticker in the door says 32 on all. On the receipt it says tire pressure was checked! And that's the mildest story I've heard from them.

[93Leg-c]

Jiffy Lube -- ha ha -- they live up to their name -- they'll wreck your car in a jiffy! I got weak once because I wouldn't have time to change the oil so I went there -- how about a stripped oil pan bolt, lost the bolts to the air cleaner housing (and told me my air filter was dirty when I had changed it a few days prior), slashed the new cv boot with a razor, told me I needed to have my ATF and coolant replaced because they were bad. They had to buy my father-in-law a new oil pan because they stripped his so badly they couldn't fix it. There are more stories some of my other friends had but I"ll stop there. Not long after that Jiffy Lube was advertising how they employ highly skilled technicians and that they'll take the best care of your car. Never again, never! (Although there must be some Jiffy Lubes that are decent.)

Sorry for the rant and being off-topic.

Just wondering about the stroker engine -- what kind of hp/tq is it putting out? What's the average gas mileage?
