Hey everyone, I'm new to MNSubaru and wanted to introduce myself. I Recently Purchased KungfuJerry's Subaru STI. This is my second Subaru and i just can't get enough. I need a tune and hear from a close friend that Nuke is the the man. Anyways i was wondering what the inspection process is like in MN? who has gone through it and how difficult was it? Any help is much appreciated.
Welcome Mr. Babaganush, Nuke is the way to go for sure if you want a road tune. pics of sti? any mods?
Welcome! I lol'd for a good couple of minutes at your screen name. If ii remember right...KFJ's STi was a built engine and had a fair amount done to it? Yes, Nuke is the man! What do you mean by "inspections"? Are you new to MN too?
Ylime-You can see pics of the car if you read KFJ's posts since i bought the car from him, but i will upload some pics when i get a chance to take some. Tangledupinblu- Babaganush means eggplant dip in arabic which I find to be really funny, so thats what I call my dog.. and im not new to MN im just new to kinda new to Subaru. Broco- I thought MN inspection was just to make sure the parts werent stolen? The safty thing is new to me. Thanks for the Welcome!!
I don't think so.. I had a good friend on mine who know alot about subaru's come with me to check it out. He is the one who pointed me to MNSubaru. Drives like its new! I have big plans for this one.
Not saying there is anything wrong with the car, but it sounds like there were issues with getting it to pass inspection to be deemed legal to drive.
Yes it does need some minor things fixed/straightened out and needs to be inspected before it can be registered. I communicated these things in the advertisement as well as discussed them thoroughly with Babaganush. I honestly didn't want to deal with the car anymore than I already had. Basically me getting screwed over by the previous owner left me with resentment towards the whole thing, but I did not do the same to Babaganush.
Not saying you didn't communicate, but the comment he made about the safety inspection being new to him made me a little nervous.
Jerry, you were completely honest about the car! I knew what i was getting myself into and weighed the risk. MN is giving me a Year with registration until i get it passed or the year is up..
Hey bro, thanks again for all the help, your a good friend. Can u say rallycross at the treefarm lol?
I think seller meant salvage title/inspections were a new process for him. I.e. hasn't gone through it. OP: good luck with inspection and enjoy the new car. Inspections are indeed about watching for stolen parts/cars and it is not a safety inspection-they even told me that at my inspection. Kungfujerry: sometimes you just need to get rid of a car because you are so turned off by whatever reason/bad taste in the mouth. I've been there.
