I think the valve recall made the biggest difference when more Toyota dealers failed servicing the engine than Subaru. |

If you are buying used the FRS is way cheaper than the BRZ. |

My interpretations was that Toyota dealers were not experienced with Subaru engine. Still, I had my valves replaced at a Toyota dealer, although I paid for it, and it turned out to be an excellent job. Yeah, you can be right.

If we apply that theory to the Subie techs then they should have been totally baffled as well since the FA20 is rather different in many aspects from the other engines. The method of changing the springs and sealing up afterward are radically different than the method used on the other affected engines. Sloppy workmanship is sloppy workmanship no matter what engines they are "used" to.

I wonder, does Toyota train their techs or are they trained by Subaru? Just a thought... Quote:
Also, I don't care for the "Collector Car" marketing term "tribute". Its their way of legitimizing a collection of mismatched parts so they can charge BIG $$$'s for something that shouldn't exist. |
