    Hey guys,

    My name is Steven and I am the new owner of a 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX wagon. I bought it about a month ago and only drove it for about a week before I ran into engine problems.

    I was driving on the highway doing 55+ mph when something seized causing the timing belt to jump. Brought the car to NF Performance and found out that most, if not all, valves were bent. Getting repairs done now so hopefully I'll have the wagon back soon. I miss it, lol.

    This is my first Subaru and it probably won't be my last. I can't wait to drive it in the snow! My other car is a '97 Lexus SC300 which I only drive during the spring and summer and only in dry conditions. I'm close to going forced induction with her, just some oil lines and electronic boost controller and I'll be good.

    Welcome. Bad news on the engine, but good news is you found NF. The crew at NF rocks.
