    Any car dealers/salespeople in here?

    I still wouldn't expect this to ease for two years. As inflation continues and we enter these next 18 months of food shortages people will not be able to keep paying these inflated prices and demand will drop off. Then prices will normalize.Foresters are in high demand right now. I would...

    Any car dealers/salespeople in here?

    I used to work in a dealership and now work in parts but still keep in touch with my former employer. I wouldn't expect the prices to go down anytime soon. People are buying at them, the supply is still bottlenecked and they have very little incentive to negotiate.If the new Subaru you are...

    2G Body Structure Panel Removal

    Thank you, this is exactly what I need. Looks like I need to remove the fender supports to get access to the spot welds for this piece.

    2G Body Structure Panel Removal

    So whomever owned this car in the past did a real hack job removal of the sheet metal under the air box. Since I'm trying for a period correct stock restoration, I will need to find that panel on a donor car and drill it out.Was hoping someone has done this and can kind of give me some idea of...

    RIP Curt Brown

    Twenty-two years isn't close to enough. Not at all.He still has time left after that, Curt has no time. None. Nothing can give Curt a second chance, give Kate a second chance at the happiness and love she experienced and was ripped from her. But at worst, this guy gets out at 58, a mere 6...

    2G 1997 Talons w/ Baer Big Brake Kit - Rotors?

    Looking through your pics made me wonder something. Did all the Baer kits come with Baer stamped calipers? Thanks.

    2G 1997 Talons w/ Baer Big Brake Kit - Rotors?

    I don't know exactly what category to put this in and it seems simple enough of a question that newbies would probably ask it. Sorry if this post needs to be moved.I bought a 1997 Eagle Talon TSI AWD w/ what I am told is a Baer Big Brake Kit. I just got off the phone with Baer who tells me the...

    2G Anyone have access to PAIS?

    Pretty much every harness in this car has been hacked, multiple electrical issues, at this point it would be less time consuming to just replace harnesses then keep chasing down one electrical problem, fix it, only to find another.
  11. EShield

    2G Anyone have access to PAIS?

    The problem I am running into is the option codes. ASA doesn't seem to expand on any of them. For the dome light wiring harness for example, I can't find a non-sunroof, non-garage door opener, illuminated mirror option.Another issue is, on my body harness I actually have the part number, but...

    2G Anyone have access to PAIS?

    I'm in the process of restoring a 1997 TSI AWD and before I buy some parts online I'd like to know what the original part numbers for some stuff would be to verify what I'm buying is compatible or factory original equivalent. I can provide VIN or if someone can give me the program that would be...

    2G Help identifying what harnesses I need?

    To ensure I have harnesses that match the options of the car before dropping $500.00 on used items I can't return.

    2G Help identifying what harnesses I need?

    Okay so after digging I was able to find some of my harness part numbers. They don't match any of the numbers here, superseded or not. Problem is, I can't find any information on if there are actual differences or if Eagle just used different part numbers for the sake of aggravation?The engine...

    2G Help identifying what harnesses I need?

    Hey Guys,I know this is a long shot, but my harnesses are just spaghetti. Tags long gone. I just want to replace every harness but need to figure out which part number each one needs so I can start buying them. I can provide VIN if it helps?1997 Eagle Talon TSI AWD 5 Speed w/ ABS no Sunroof...

    2G 95 GSX NO START

    You need to check fuel pressure.

    2G 95 GSX NO START

    What is your fuel pressure? Having fuel at the rail doesn't mean the system is holding good pressure.

    2G 420a oil change

    Then I would just use 5W-30 at this point, a spring through fall car isn't going to see many 0° days anyway.
  20. EShield

    2G 420a oil change

    10W is a little thicker in viscosity at 0° F, both have 30 weight viscosity at operating temperature. I don't remember what the 420A calls for (5W or 10W) but for a daily driver with little to no mods, just use what the factory recommends.

    2G STM catback compatibility

    Cut off exactly the width of the band clamp from the Megan downpipe to shorten it and it bolts right up to the STM catback.

    2G STM catback compatibility

    I know this is an old post, but I want to post my experience. I had an old Megan 3" downpipe around, it was 1-2 inches too long and pushed the exhaust to the side and down, raising the muffler tip into the bumper. I just cut about 1.5 inches off where the Megan couples together with the band...

    2G Oil pressure "issue"

    I find the sensors running of the oil sandwich adapter are inaccurate and seem to have weird electrical issues.

    Buyer Beware: VRSF

    I saw them on the vendor list and figured if they paid to be a vendor they were still actively pursuing DSM business. If a post like mine existed I certainly would have avoided them to begin with and solve the whole problem before it began. Ultimately I only ever wanted a replacement unit. VRSF...

    Buyer Beware: VRSF

    I said I would follow up in my last post where I first asked for someone to contact me from VRSF so we could amicably resolve this. It seems many here are ignoring that I gave them over a month for us to come to a resolution. I fail to see how someone is acting entitled for getting a damaged...

    Buyer Beware: VRSF

    It is just very easy to spot an unstable person who has zero business to be so upset over something that affects them exactly not one bit. You don't like that? Leave my post. I'm getting what I paid for or my money back no matter how hard you pound your chest.
  28. EShield

    Buyer Beware: VRSF

    You have serious mental issues and you need to seek professional help. You can't even differentiate between entitlement issues and getting what you pay for. I used my hard earned money to buy that, not yours, not anyone's but mine and that means I AM entitled to a new, undamaged product because...

    Buyer Beware: VRSF

    They nullified that when they failed to declare the value and agree to relinquish their right to a shipping claim to FedEx so I could pursue one. Its cute that you think that just because they post something on their website that it is legally binding. Notice how the credit card company gives...

    Buyer Beware: VRSF

    I don't recall at any point hitting buy on a product with a description of damaged. Contract null and void right there. Give me 329.99 and you can have this kit and I will buy another one since you want to shill for Tiago. Then everyone can be happy.
  31. EShield

    Buyer Beware: VRSF

    It is not for sale. It does not belong to me after the charge back is completed. It will be ready for VRSF to send a label for it and it will be provided to FedEx that very same day. Period.My moral compass seems to be truer than some here.
  32. EShield

    Buyer Beware: VRSF

    I have already essentially won the claim. My credit card company agrees with me that I am due a new, undamaged product. They agree that I should not be out money to ship it or replace it. The reason they asked specifically for that email is to counter their claim that I am unwilling to return...
  33. EShield

    Buyer Beware: VRSF

    You have a severe problem when you think people who buy a new undamaged product aren't entitled to a new undamaged product. But yes continue to stand on your lawn shaking your fist and trying to make a pseudo-political anti-millenial statement in defense of poor service.
  34. EShield

    Buyer Beware: VRSF

    He can have it back. All he has to do is provide the shipping label. It will sit in a box ready for FedEx to pick up. It will not get installed or sold off. It will rightfully be VRSFs property. My credit card company requested the above emails as proof I offered to send it back at their cost...
  35. EShield

    Buyer Beware: VRSF

    They don't have to do anything, I agree. I will win the charge back, get the money back and move on. This is just to give a heads-up to people who may run into the same problem down the line. Protect yourself, buy with a credit card so if you run into this you have recourse.
  36. EShield

    Buyer Beware: VRSF

    I shared every single email. You need serious help.
  37. EShield

    Buyer Beware: VRSF

    I don't need to move on to a different platform nor will I after 21 years of DSMing. Chargeback has already been filed for a month. I will get the money back. I will gladly ship this back when VRSF offers a shipping label which they can take up with FedEx who they still haven't called to file a...

    Buyer Beware: VRSF

    I don't agree with your perspective. I didn't set the price, so regardless of if you think it is cheap or not, it's irrelevant to the crux of this. As someone who has been a manager of O'Reilly's and now works in the auto repair service industry, the expectation, rightfully so, is when you pay...

    Buyer Beware: VRSF

    This is a follow-up to my previous post. I feel like I have given more than ample time time for Tiago to come up with an amicable solution.On 6/16/20 I purchased a 2G FMIC kit from VRSF. It was shipped out and arrived on 6/19/20 damaged due to Fedex's terrific shipping and handling. You can...

    Can anyone get a hold of Tiago at VRSF?

    Not looking too good. Can't say I have received what would be called good service or anything resembling willingness to help.

    Can anyone get a hold of Tiago at VRSF?

    Well Monday he finally replied to my e-mail asking for pics. I sent them immediately, but nothing yet. We will see. I understand hating DSMers, there is definitely a portion of them who are way too cheap and frustrating, but it should never be an excuse for lack of professionalism. I get it, I...

    Can anyone get a hold of Tiago at VRSF?

    Well, unfortunately, it has been 15 days of radio silence. I would recommend no one buy from them. I thought they were a good company, but if your item is returned in shipping they won't even respond to you and they don't mark down shipment value so they can save money on shipping and Fedex will...

    Can anyone get a hold of Tiago at VRSF?

    It's business related but they have not responded to any of my e-mails, calls or Facebook messages. Trying to resolve something, so if anyone is able to communicate with him, can you let him know to respond to any of my messages. Thanks.

    Shipping Delays at STM?

    I ordered my exhaust from them and it shipped next day, I reached out to Cory on Facebook first to make him aware I was ordering it. However, VRSF has gone ghost, shipped my intercooler kit out and then when I made them aware it came damaged, nothing, not even an acknowledgement of the 3...

    2G Front Floor Sound Deadening Removal

    So dash is out, but still of no help because the real issue is the stupid firewall blanket comes down so far that you need to find a way to tuck it out of the way to get access to the front most portion of the tunnel. I am considering using a razor and trimming the blanket so it contours with...
