Current STI project at RS Motors

And with all that said, I'm closing this thread until the cars owner and or Ron decides to PM a moderator to have it reopened.

 

I'm sorry you had to see that. You seem to know the owner. You shouldve asked him how many times I wanted to fix some other shops design that leaked and wires that became a mess.
This dual pump isn't my design. The last time I had the car, I addressed the single leak it had. It was coming out of the return line that used a swivel design fitting.
About the lines not having any clamps, they are called push lock lines. They are a bitch to install but never leaked once.
You seem to be looking for holes to try and smear a shops name. Unfortunately on this one, you are attacking a different shop.

 

Btw Jimmy, Before you say anything about the shop who designed the twin pump, they have since updated the fitting in question because they became a common issue to leak.

 

e-bash fail.

 

Unsuccessful Troll is unsuccessful.

LOL, U MAD?

 

Thanks guys, but lets keep this kinda stuff to a minimum especially if you are not involved. Please and thank you.

 

care to explain the rest of the issues?

 

I dont know what issues you are making up now. I just talked to the owner and he has nothing but great things to say about the car. Even so, I elected to pick the car from him and bring it back to the shop to look over what issues if any there might be. I'm not getting paid for any of this work and it's part of how I/we support our builds. You are welcome to come down, if you are in town. Let me know what issues you want me to take care of. Bring your newly built STI also.

 

I apologize about this drama MN Subaru.

 

No need, we all know you run a good shop, host dyno days, and are a staple in the subaru community, one of the only shops I recommend in town for modding/tuning subarus to people who come in here, I found it funny that the troll got owned. Keep up the good work RS boys!

 

2nd this. I can only speak to my experience with RS and I've had them do simple pulley replacement, clutch replacement, fixing a terrible install that another local shop did, and trust them %100 [even storing my car there this winter]. Ron's shop is fair with pricing and they care about their reputation, customers and customers' vehicles. Recently, Ron has had to defend his business to MNSubaru multiple times I am seeing a similar pattern:

Good reviews [like the one I have given] from MNSubaru board members who have actually been to/had their car at RS Motors

Bad reviews [like the one that appears in this thread] from MNSubaru board members who don't even own the car in question, heard from an ex-employee of RS Motors off hours, or some other crap that is NOT first hand experience

It's a shame but all I can do is continue to support Ron, RS Motors, and thank them for fighting the good fight.

 

I've also had nothing but good experiences with RS Motors and continue to recommend them for local Subaru owners. They did an excellent job on my engine rebuild and clutch install this summer. They've done nothing but good things for the board and they've been a bunch of standup guys as far as I've known them.

 

Plus they have the best subaru engine builder working in the shop.

 

Thanks everyone for the kind words and referrals from all of you. We may not be the cleanest, fastest, nicest, shop but we try very hard to help people and stand behind our work.

 

View attachment 24362 View attachment 24361 here you go. i wont even comment on the pics..... unless bashed again for stating 100% true facts.

 

You're not getting bashed "for stating 100% true facts", you're getting bashed for trying to stir up drama like a 13 year old girl when no one cares. LOL U MAD?

 

Maybe I'm missing something....is there an actual purpose behind this banter? Are we looking for a specific resolution? Or we just on here because it's the internet and we can bitch?

 

What am I looking at in these pics? Looks like not much room for anything, so whats the problem? Besides the fact of an air to water intercooler.....

 

Well, superbro only has 9 posts and all of it is nonsensical bitching about his indirect experiences that his friend supposedly had with RS Motors. So far he's provided no-to-little proof to back up his claims and has failed in his attempts at starting an e-fight. I think there's a word for people like that floating around the internet... It starts with a "T" or something.

 

WOW are you a tool with your great cell phone pics. It is quite obvious that you couldn't do any of this yourself, otherwise you would know how difficult fitting all these things in an engine bay really is. This car is a particularly unique situation with a large top-mount water to air intercooler.

When you do better, come on in and show your stuff. However, by then you will not be a child and will act accordingly.

 

thats funny you say its unique when there are hundreds if not thousands of subarus out there with built motors and "custom" turbo kits installed. my issue of concern on this suby is the fact that it has flaws that need to be addressed: the wastegate being so close to the A/W IC is a problem in its own. it has its own heater . the BOV has poor fitment do to the boost line attatched at the top; it is rubbing almost through the intake manifold. the water tank for the IC is completely loose and needs to be tied down propperly. the fuel leak has been addressed in the trunk which is a great start

this car was in the shop for over a year and this is how it was done. i mean i know shops can get very busy at times but i mean come on.. RS, you can not honestly tell me that that is your best work.. i have seen countless hondas/evos come out of there that look flawless with great numbers put down. this car with an unlimited budget and no time limit looks to be rushed through and not show worthy by any means. great performance was proven yes, but now you guys need to concentrate on the other reason we "the owners" by our cars; because they look good. i mean we are the ones who have to keep the car and have to look at them every day. if you are a real enthusiast you will be constantly going over every inch of your car as im sure most of you on this forum do!
OK for my entire reason for adding to this thread.... i go over to my friends and go for a ride... amazing car, fast, etc. we get out and pop the hood after we discuss how much it cost to finish this build. :0 "you payed how much?!? for that?!?! :I rest my case

now you can bash on me all you want and im not gunna be LOLZ MAD im just tired of people getting taken advantage of. end of discussion

 

To be honest from my experience on this forum many of the owners care more about performance of their cars rather then the appearance because they are our daily drivers and we drive them as such. There are some owners on here that have show quality cars and make very good power as well but many of them from what I know are not daily drivers. Where I see your point of saying that when you look at a car every day and you see stuff that is wrong with it would bug the hell out of me but instead of bitch about it I would fix it regardless of who did the work originally, i suppose that is the difference between a real enthusiast and someone who claims to be one.

 

Is the owner complaining? There's a saying where I work that seems to apply to life as well. Don't bitch about a problem, come up with a solution. If you've identified all these issues, then fix them and do a better job.
You're complaining that RS should do a better job on this (and I thought Ronnie said they had to clean up a majority of work already done by another shop. Maybe they did the best they could with what was brought to them?), but they can't work on a customer's car if the customer doesn't bring it in. If your friend doesn't mind the work he paid for on his car, I'd say to mind your own business and get your own hobbies.

Long story short, you're pissing and whining about someone else's problem in a public forum. I've got a 7 year-old daughter that doesn't whine as much as you do. If your friend has a problem, then he can take it in. That's the great thing about being a customer. If he doesn't mind it, then STFU.

 

Shoulda taken it to west coast cutoms

 

Did you consult the owner before ripping apart said shop?



The long and short of this is the fact that you have an under-developed brain. I'm sorry that you don't understand what is involved in heavily modifying a car, but ignorance is not an excuse for your uprising.


If you had any idea what-so-ever of what is involved in major modification of a Subaru vehicle, you would quiet your yap. All of us who've heavily modified a Subaru can look at each other's, and can ask questions and pick apart each other's decisions. It's like the media asking smart people why they did this and that, yet offer no solutions.


When you start a shop, cover your overhead, employees, materials, among other things, and remain successful in this environment, come talk in this thread. Otherwise, you are a stupid little newb that doesn't know his ass from a hole in the wall.


Speak on, playa..................lol

 

^^^Pretty much what he said.

Highly modified Subarus are tricky, and the troll here knows nothing of them.

<<< Waits to read something relevant...

 

And the fact that he still constantly seems to just find all these "100% true facts" but doesn't support them, at all.

I'd go out on a limb on this one and say he's probably a DB fan boy or something.

 

haha you guys are hilarious. not yet have i found anything you guys jhave posted other than excuses. my point was given and that's that. my goal was succeeded by ron taking the car back and going over everything. the reason the owner does not bring it in is because he doesn't want his car to sit in the shop for months and nothing gets done to it. his 240 was hack job put together by RS and also his supra has been there for over a year. granted the supra is a full restorartion and build, you could send it anywhere on the west coast and it would of been done by now... if you really want to know what i have in the garage i can post pics and numbers up on another thread or refer you to nasioc.

has any one of you actually seen these cars? obviously the people that work at the shop have; but seriously have any of you? its always at cars and coffee...

 

PLEASE post something about yourself in another thread. If the owner has a problem he'd like to address to the members here, he can do that himself. You really need to move on, if that means not coming back...fine Or if you want to contribute to the forum in other ways that's fine too. Poking your head in here stirring up this same thread over and over is really becoming lame.

 

Just wondering if they were so terrible, why does he keep going back?

 

Exactly why I don't miss this scene... Tools who complain that a car that's supposed to be some amazing show car looks like a nicely modified Subaru that I wouldn't give a second look too...

Show cars usually have hidden wiring, open and clean engine bays, not just pretty hoses and shiny parts...

Who is to say the owner hasn't pulled things off and forgot how to put them together again...

I laugh as Subaru owners have this theory that their cars are supercars and on par with an off the shelf Porsche, Ferrari etc etc...

Breaking news guys...

IT'S THE NEW HONDA CIVIC!!!!


Ron keep doug what ya do and let the fools waste their time whining while you are actually doing!!!!

 

Maybe because there some subarus that have walked porsches hence the origin of the super car theory...porsche killers

 

^agreed! i would take my 40k dollar subaru that smokes 911 turbo's all day vs a 140k dollar car that has way too much excessive weight over the rear end. anyways im done in this forum guys have fun in the snow for the last few weeks

 

I'm going with this again.
