    Default Good Subaru Mechanic Suggestions

    Hey guys,

    i'm having troubles with my 93 jdm gc8 (I have a thread about it somewhere). Was wondering if you guys know any mechanics that really know the ej20.

    Thanks in advance

    The last time I went there it was good. Much cheaper then Centaur or Subaru Calgary, but great work.

    Lightspeed in Red Deer would be the first guys I go to with one of the 93 WRX's..

    What kind of problems? Sorry I'm too lazy to search myself..

    Good to hear. I would get it tuned ASAP. The ej20 JDM motors tend to hiccup on our gas, even the 94.. It's tuned too aggressively for Alberta really. I would look into getting it properly tuned.

    And where would you suggest that I get it tuned? I've heard of the octane problem, but so far so good

    I would like to know too. My 93 WRX is having some issues with flat spots at WOT and I have pretty much ruled out every other possibility other than tuning.

    Lightspeed innnovations in Red Deer seems to be the most common one mentioned for tuning as well.

    I took the advice on here and went to allmakes subaru with my sti....
    bad fucking idea
    for being subaru specialists they apparently overlooked a very simple and very common problem
    the intake hose that connects to my turbo was melted away partially and had a hole in it... instead of telling me about it or replacing it (when i asked them to find and fix anything/everything in my car) they did a hack job of putting it back on (it was sucking in air at the opening to the turbo) and it cost me my engine.
    it caused my engine to run extremely lean because all the excess air was coming in after the MAF... my bill from them for all the work they did was $2500... primarily work done to my motor, and now 3 weeks later im looking for a new engine... I feel raped

    WOW Shitty deal. They have done nothing but great work for me in the past. I have had my car in there several times now. I was going to get them to do my clutch next week.
