In terms of what happened to the car, sounds like they've rebuilt the damn thing haha! But I did get a call this morning telling me that an FRS is coming to SF Toyota for me, so if all goes well, I should be driving away in an brand new Raven AT FRS.

Good I hope you get a new one. Toyota will want to inspect that engine ( not the dealership)
