What kind of car do you have - Did you get the Exhaust fixed?

Jason · 05-04-2007, 03:33 PM

I have a WRX STi and yes, I got it fixed a while ago. It sucked because I had to pay to have it thermal coated again. Oh well, such is the price of performance I guess.

Well that is good....
And I know what you mean...

I have a Ducati 748 Superbike that is loads of fun but hard on the wallet sometimes....

I did not do much TCO research before I got it but figured it would be a little more expensive than "normal".

Well when I got to my 6K mile service I found I was wrong...

$1200 for a valve adjust and tune!!! OUCH

Oh Well - I'm still keeping it....

get it fixed then....

I know the pain, my muffler literally fell off at the diamond flange on my (of all things) 97' Civic, I guess the previous-previous owner did a poor weld job on this lame aftermarket muffler, and it rusted out.
It is loud indeed.

Yay! I've got a '91 honda accord with 220,390 miles on it and it runs GREAT!!! I'm going to a music festival 700 miles away in a month in it!!!

BMW is better than Honda although it's expensive, I just love the 7 series, it's so relaxing..... M3 GTR is also beautiful for it's design. Anyway Honda and Toyota did a good job for producing cheap lasting main-stream cars, my dad owns a 15 years-old Toyota Corola and now it's working perfectly, unlike Proton and Kancil (It's so suck that you may not heard of it)

BMW is better than Honda

BMW is luxurious type of car, and its european. Hondas are regular japanese cars. if you were going to compare BMW to a japanese honda, it should be more like BMW and Acura.

That depends on the model of both of the cars , though .
You rich people... you can actually afford cars... I really envy you :P .
Even making a driver's license costs a bundle... around 800-1000 euro here :S . ( Which is around 1000-1400 USD )
