ugh...she just had her fuel pump replaced, the shifter will get replaced, the shift lever assembly replaced, and hopefully they can figure out the window issue. its bending/grindy when i put it in first, the clutch was making a clunking noise, the windows has the 2 vertical markings on the tint, and now she shakes when i go over 60mph. so im waiting until toyota is done then i'll probably take her to gran turismo to get aligned.

I...wow. that sucks.

Just get a kartboy shifter and be done with that part. the vertical lines? That's normal for a frameless Subaru. Fuel pump...yeah. clutch? I got nothin. shutters over 60? didn't you update the springs? was that done right? who did the install?

I did the springs with her. I installed the same springs on mine too. No issues on mine and we used the same method on hers.

Probably went out of balance? Check to make sure the wheel weights are still there.

nah i havent checked anything honestly. i'm almost positive it's the alignment, i had ntb do all my wheel/tire stuff. the alignment sheet shows what they set it to. but they jacked my wheels up and whatever. so i just need to hit up a tuner shop and get it all done right. just waiting for the other stuff to get fixed first.

yep. I'd never go to NTB for anything. I don't trust them to do a damn thing right. That goes for nearly every tire shop actually. only a select few will touch my car.

I swear my NTB was great, but I didn't align with them since I didn't have my springs yet.

The wife wants to trade in the Corolla S and buy an FR-S. She can already drive my car pretty well. Also there is a lady I work with that has one aswell.
