I am in North Hollywood. I am about to get a WRX in the next couple of weeks. I have been wanting one since I first heard of them comming out way back in 2001 sometime, maybe before that. I was so impressed with them that I got my brother to buy one a month ago. He has a black '03 in Pasadena.
I was @ the dealership last week and asked the service department about a couple of mods i am planning for my sport wagon. He said that thewarranty would be void if I do any mod to the engine, this including replacing the chip and the air intake. How true is this?
It depends on what dealership you go to. Not all of them treat mods equally. I think that where I bought mine (Subaru of Thousand Oaks) they're pretty mod friendly. I'm sure some of the LA people know which ones in the LA area are mod friendly (Irvine Subaru?). It also depends on what part of the warranty they're trying to void. If you have an intake & they try to void your warranty on a brake problem, there's no way they can legally get away with that. They can void your warranty if the problem is directly due to an aftermarket part - say you're running 300 whp & your tranny goes kaboom - voiding the warranty for the tranny in that case is perfectly legal. It's too bad though, that SOA seems to have a rep for supporting most dealer warranty voids.
I m looking to buy the sway and strut bars (front and back) and I called Speed Factory in La Puente (referred by on of the WRX club member) and they dont have any available. No price either. What is a fare price plus installation and where can I go in S. Cal to get them?
Superbowl Sunday? Nawww. I'm also trying to get my stuff together to move to LA. I'm going to be working weeks in LA starting in February & hope to find a place to move to by March 1st! Then it'll be easier for me to make events like that!
Ron in Carlsbad- I've been wanting to get a meet going but it seems like it's not gonna work out for awhile. Either way if someone wants to I'm down to meet some people.
