Here's how it looks to me: You find a tuner and pay him to d*ck up your car so it runs lean/hot. A tuner that you are aware "tuned" another TJ members NC Miata that subsequently blew up. You take your car to the track, where it becomes apparent that your having major engine problems, so you take it out for another session, where the problem gets worse. What do you do then? Take it out for a third session to make sure it's completely destroyed. Next, you post online that you've "broken it", and your "tuner" re-flashes it back to stock, so you can mislead Toyota into replacing your engine. You take in your fully track prepped car-cage, stripped interior, track wing and all, and Toyota generously replaces your motor. When the dealer warns you that they're only giving you one motor, instead of being grateful for the replacement you got after YOU destroyed your engine, you slam Toyota online, acting as if you had nothing to do with the damage. Your silly admonitions to Toyota about the FRS are comical. What sucks is that we Toyota customers ultimately all share the cost of the companies' generosity in case like yours. Your dishonesty may well cost Toyota and Subaru sales, judging by some of the comments here. No doubt your dishonesty has many here agitated and enjoying their cars less than they should be. A man owns up to his mistakes. I think you owe this whole community an apology, not to mention Toyota, who has gone far above and beyond what's justifiable since you voided your own warranty, then destroyed your motor like an idiot.
BTW, who is "miss inform".
Replied from my phone while i was at the airport plus english is my 4th language. I am too busy enjoying my trip in Europe while u bitch and moan about my grammar. This will be my last post for a month until i am back home. I really wont lose any more of my time with some one that is bitching about a car he does not own. Its been clear more people that are not even tuned are having this issue.



Btw guys i get to drive the ring on the 17th and they have a fr-s where im renting the race car. Ill ask them if they have had any DI issues since its a track rental, im guessing the cool temps will prove otherwise. If my mistake was posting my issue with the car to try and find a permanent fix so people dont start having the same problem some of us have had then so be it.
