itll happen eventually. a few of them on here have blown up. give it time
Sadly it’s an internet myth,
like less than 2% of each model has lost it’s self to premature failures such as ringlands, spun bearings, etc.
a great many more is the numbers of engines that go boom from abuse, like shitty tunes, money shifts, severe beatings, oil starvation.
I may have a long wait 
well i dont care if it does either way, but i know of 4 EJ257’s that have went boom around here.
Not for nothing but you seem very negative…
do you need a hug?
a glass of water?
a kick in the nuts?
id love to see that happen…

as an added bonus, separate tuners for each car, as well as separate builders.
budget in a new ej257 as part of your mod path as a subie owner. its not a matter of if, its a matter of when.
your dad needs an ls7 swap!
He dont wanna go slow man!! ^^ haha
my car will come out as soon as I can afford a new clutch/input shaft, started her up the other day and the TOB was whistling like a mofo. stupid TOB
Tob?
Throw out bearing?
not at all, i just anticipate the thread about when this STI explodes.
im not negative, i just hate hearing about your poor finances and your mustang
nah, he doesnt, has nothing to prove, just enjoys driving the car
yupp, it sucks it only has 32k on it, the car was completely stock for 29k . the clutch holds fine even after the pulley but the TOB is going. SO that mean i have to buy a new stronger clutch and 26 spline input shaft to replace the weak 10 spline one.
how does it go brett???if ya like the gto should of went wit the g8 way more fun and in all aspecs but good choice either way
That blows, but is a good reason to upgrade…
its fuckin expensive tho like 500 for a clutch/pp 700 for the input shaft plus flywheel resurface and installation.
I really really need a job
