You also expected your EFR to last forever before the first one died on you. Just because they fix this mistake does not mean that others will not come up. I wish the best for EFR, but they have not had a good beginning. Give it another 3-4 years of testing and showing that they have become reliable and then I might consider switching.

So was the coolant the time you opened the radiator cap at the autox and it blew all over your face, or a different time? I was there for both the coupler and drive shaft incidents.

Braineack

iTrader: (62)

no it was from when I swapped a motor but decided not to replace the water pump and the water pump gasket leaked instantly.

but if we consider it that time, you're a ------- troll.

hey lars, look how awesome my new exhaust is. *blown coupler*
hey lars, look how fast my car is. *driveshaft falls off*
hey scott, your radiator car is leaking. *coolant explodes in scott's face*

y8s

iTrader: (8)

lars and I bonded while you were fixing that driveshaft.

Really? I thought it was just the early ones that someone messed up the metallurgy. Is metallurgy even the right word since its a transitional materiel?

18psi

iTrader: (76)

umm, pretty sure both of his are considered "early" ones

Leafy

iTrader: (1)

I know. But he said it like it was an all EFR problem.

18psi

iTrader: (76)

y8s

iTrader: (8)

The revised batch has been out for a while. My turbo is one of them and I purchased it in November of last year.

soviet

iTrader: (10)

Yes both of my turbos were doomed from the start. I knew that when I was buying the second one. They are completely, totally out of stock everywhere, and have been for past half a year.

The revised revised batch, then

Braineack

iTrader: (62)
