I hear nitrous is second only to detonation as the best thing for subaru pistons. The bigger the shot the better.
What kinda deal will you give me? |

I found the nit because the customer was complaining of an misfire problem cylinder 1.. (have a feeling cracked ring) didn't charge anything told him sorry we weren't gonna work on it. Some **** you work on and find out things and just have to pull out the rug from under them before your kicking your ass down the road
