Nightmaresmk Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Best bet is to ship it direct to BNR and have them rebuild it and then ship it direct to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

son_of_skeet6 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks MC, I just emailed their sales link. I was on another thread and there were some negative comments regarding BNR. But either way, I think infamous may be in the SoCal area anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son_of_skeet6 Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 DAMN!!! So I'm getting a "plounk"ing sound at the front passanger side. Its every time i hit bumps, big or small. I noticed it a couple months back but it was light and now its pretty much any time i hit cracks or bumps on the road. Car is on stock struts with lowering springs (blue ones, i dont see a name on them) that came when i bought it. Mileage is ~140k. Any suggestions to what it will be? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06silvarubiLGT Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Probably struts, but these cars are known for stab link noises and control arm bushing failures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 We do not rebuild turbos. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 We have had good results using turbos rebuilt by 6Star. Many LGT owners go with a BNR. We can certainly assist with maintenance, repairs, service, installs, fabrication, customization, tuning, parts and more. But we do not rebuild turbos. That is a specialty all on its own. Max seems fairly happy with the work we performed on his car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingling1337 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 So it is both Cobb of Plano and Keith of awdtuning who have spoken against bnr for high failure rates. I'd like to see at least some anecdotal evidence to support what they say, as I haven't heard anything like that. i will pm Keith about it.
