Unless I'm missing something it's just the pinch weld folded over, looks like the jack or jackstand missed the doubled up lift point... slightly irritating, but I wouldn't sweat it.

It's totaled. If you continue to drive it the chassis will over heat causing it to bend and snap. Unfortunately the brake point will be just right under your seat. So when it does brake the shrapnel will cut through and quite literally cut off your junk.

But fear not I'll buy it off you for about $500.

Joking aside, if your worried about it a pair of pliers maybe a hammer and your done. Unless your anorexic 12 year vegan, then you might want to get some help.

I did not jacking up the car to save the cat..
It is on a kind of city highway.. the cars are jammed, I saw a cat just near my fender and then I tried to grab her, but she escaped under the car, I tried for ten minutes to find a solution to grab her but never succeed...
So the cat got crashed without hope.
I noticed the fold today when I re-check this sad moment..

so you all think the fold is due to the bad manipulation of the jack/lifter ? I only did the service in the dealer's authorised shop.. But I doubt if they can still admit it the service was two weeks ago..

I don't think a cat could cause that damage, but I don't know for sure.

sorry for my bad english ..

the death of cat is not due to the Brz.. the cat tried to high from the traffic under the Brz, once the Brz is moved, the cat got crushed certainly by the following cars.. imagine an enclosed high way..

then the damage should be occurred on the road with big hole or in the service center earlier, nothing relevant with the cat..

Yes, probably hit something. See the broken plastic. Not likely from service.

Nah. Look at the shape and spacing of the bends. That is from a poorly place swing arm hoist.

@xtral
Like has been said it is not a big deal and nothing to worry about. Nice job on at least attempting to save the cat.

A small mystery about the dent. Add one cat . . .

Thank you for trying to save the cat. Don't waste your breath trying to explain it to these hyenas -- we prowl these pages looking for things to howl about.

And compared to most who post here, your English is more than sufficient! Many who were born to English can be completely incomprehensible.

Was it this cat?

Impureclient 06-05-2016 06:17 PM

Still unsure here. Is the consensus that a cat did this damage? OP if you did this on purpose, you shouldn't post the grisly evidence up on the internet.

The damage you have a picture of is the pinch weld that you would normally use to jack up the car. From what I've seen on many cars is that these get bent/out of shape all the time from jacks not being centered. I don't think the damage could have been caused from your recent event unless you hit something in between trying to save this cat.

So, something happened to me. A floor jack slipped and damaged my pinch weld. It damaged my front quarter panel. If you look at your jack point it's actually attached to your front quarter panel.

Just be careful.

so that's the subaru store who did this while the maintenance.. quite annoying I did not notice during the process, now it would be difficult to ask them for any refund/compensation.

EAGLE5 06-09-2016 04:03 AM

I just want to point out that, while the cat was under the car, it was in a state of quantum superposition, both alive and dead.

themadscientist 06-09-2016 06:16 AM

Wait, did you take it to Schrodinger's garage?

That pinch weld was NOT bent by just jacking up the car (at least according to some "experts" on this other thread) /s

They CANNOT support the weight of the car unless you have the "puck" device that supports on either side of the pinch.


Drive the car up on a 2X4 and then use the low profile jack to jack on the jack points identified in the manual.


I can almost guarantee that ALL of the people above that said that it is OK to jack by the pinch welds have not done it on this car
