LOLZ! Its frustrating conforming to the straight motor design
I just don't want to deal with the car anymore. Awd isn't as fun as i thought it was going to be either.

Actually the car is soon to be fixed now. Timing belt tensioner was bouncing around making noise, didn't skip a tooth though. Thank god. I am putting in a new Timing belt and tensioner tomorrow so i guess the price shot up to the usual wrx amount of around 8k. How much could you put on top of the audi?

It's a hobby bro, you're gonna have problems with any car if you're modding it. AND, remember you only paid pennies for this car compared to what it was worth...Im sure you knew it was gonna be beat on a little bit. Hang onto it and be patient. Hell, I've had a CEL on for two years. I just installed $800 (retail) coil packs to see if I can get it to just GO AWAY. 20 minutes after that the radiator went bad. It happens, the cars 7 years old and it has 100k miles.

I am very torn. The wrx is a baller ass car - no doubting that. It is just such an amazing pain in the dick to fix. It is just amazing. I am going to do the timing belt, and tensioner tomorrow then drive the car like a grocery getter. I am done.

The other guy is right, you paid almost nothing for that thing. And it ran strong the day you were over here. Hopefully that fixes the problem.... but remember the mod bug will come around again, I foresee you turbo shopping before the end of the year

However you should come by sometime just to make sure everything is running okay with the tune.

there are better pictures. Thats the lowest cash offer i will take is right around 6999 ish
over heating came from the hose going to the turbo. The damn thing would suck in air when the car was under load.
-new timing belt
-timing belt tensioner
-upper/lower hoses
-water pump
