We are not giving up. The donations over the past 2 days have been encouraging.

It was nice meeting you too Tom. I am glad you made it home even if you did have a short 'delay' at the border.

I would really like to hear about what you find when you crack open the motor.
Is there any chance GM is going to warranty???
And that was in an Optra hatch
Could you imagine how much more fun it could have been had I had a real car, maybe even the DD

That really doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary.

I just saw that Darren. I would expect paypal shouldn't have changed a message thing, I will look at that. Thank you very much for the donations.

Dude, haven't you been watching the news. GM just closed 50% of the dealerships in Canada, and will have problems paying it's retired workers their pension. The workers have agreed to take a $20.00 per hour pay cut just so the company can be eligible for assistance from the government. They have killed Pontiac outright, SABB is GONE, GM Performance division has been prevented from making any new models.... Get it?
LOL warranty....

Having said that, I am sure you will see Firestorm say he isn't trying to claim warranty and I base this on the times we have communicated via PM's.

As Tom said, GM still has to cover warranties because without out it, who would pony up for a new car???

people have been taking advantage of the system for years that's good for them don't be jealous. I think it's lame that GM doesn't have more factory support for aftermarket eco's that can maintain the warranty because everyone like subaru, mitsubishi, ford, honda, do I go on? all have an abundance of parts and don't say oh **** FU you modded your car. They just admit that they must have made a shitty design if it couldn't stand up to some modification.I blew up my head at 30K completely stock besides a GMPP catback! timing chain tensioner went out getting onto the freeway and then I bent some valves... GM didn't want to warranty it at first said it was my fault because of the exhaust. LOL don't go to Bret Chevrolet in Kent WA they are scammers!!

to clarify, i wont seek warranty, as i will just get myself another weak motor.
i was pushing it to what i thought was 95% of the motors limit for one day.
i was wrong, and i shall gladly pay. but until i do, ill ride my 203 hp ninja at the track and maybe nail some 9's tomorrow.
for the record, i still think the motor should handle the load i gave it. if anyone is willing to dispute what i did, let me know civilly, dont flame me. i also have exedy, axles, slicks, 2.8, 60's, snow perf.,dual pass "B", 3" intake, zzp mid legnth header and hi flo catted dp, corsa touring.and solid mounts.
