Here is what happens when you give a 16 year old a STI

We did a timing belt replacement on it, fluid changes, all 100K maint, and a new performance clutch he supplied since he destroyed the stock one (STG 3 - STI 2.5L HYPER SINGL EX-FH02SD). His cooling fans a 1000 miles later quit because his radiator was leaking on them so he severely overheated it. He told us at the time it barley overheated.

Well we replaced the fans and the radiator and now 4,000 miles after the work it has been towed in because the headgaskets have failed. This is what we have found so far.


The gates racing timing belt started to melt because of it being overheated so bad


The clutch is almost worn out already
