North-East OHIO 2.5GTs ? Sighting, GTGs, etc.

Hey, guys... Long time...

I'm at 153k miles, and I'm using a quart of oil every 750 miles. It seems, from what I've read, that it's probably a ring-land failure on cyl #4. A compression test will indicate for sure, but no matter what, it's probably time for a top-end. And if I'm honest, that's a disappointment, but I'm committed to it.

Do we have any quality independent shop options for a teardown/rebuild in Cleveland? The dealer will likely want $5k for this work -- plus the cost of the clutch, etc. (original clutch, so might as well change it).

Thanks in advance...

I think most in the area would recommend Slick, for this type of stuff.

Tough break there, man. Sorry to hear.

Thanks. I've posted on LERSOC as well; I'll see if I can find 'Slick.'

Hey all,

05 BSM non-ltd. Stock with practically 2% tint. If you see a silver stock lgt and cant see who is driving it is probably me.

Located in akron.

cool, welcome.

i hardly ever see LGTs like ever

^ Damn, you two fill up at the same place? That is suspect, indeed......

Mill, welcome!

I buy my e85 from the same station every time

Not like I have a choice of many locations

TSI+WRX Ron is having a H2H on Sunday...

So who are the local subaru nuts? Looking for tuners in the area and recommendations.

Any swap meets or anything around here?

^ Check both LERSOC (Lake Erie Regional Subaru Owners Club) as well as Forced4s.com (all makes/models, but the founding core was strongly Subaru-oriented at the time, and there's still many of us there).

I know. Thank you. But unfortunately I can't make it - this weekend, we've got a family member's wedding. I still have $275 or something like that on-credit at Ron's, since I paid for a few classes that got postponed.

I may be starting his Combatives Conditioning class on Tuesday! I'm gonna get my butt kicked!

I'm just bustin' your chops. Always glad to have another LGT in the area, especially one that's as upgraded as you are.

^ Damn, you two fill up at the same place? That is suspect, indeed......

I was joking about that ish the gast station is now CLOSED DOWN.

Either way Still looking for an engine and a beater since I won't be in town long enough to put "Humpty Dumpty" back together again.

Nah engine went before I got that far.
