i've just dropped my STi off for it's first service and i'm just praying that the mechanics don't red-line it when they take it out to check out some rattling noises!!!

 

Take it easy man, unless you've got onboard electronic toys, then you're not gonna know if they have anyway.
Don't beat yourself up over it She'll be back soon.

 

I could swear I just heard an STI being redlined past me... Must be yours.

 

No that was mine

Richie.

 

got the babe back...she some-how feels different. can't put it in words exactly but if i could i would say it's slower (though is it possible?) maybe because it's less jerky...but i bet the baskets redlined it cos i know i would have!!!

sith, you must have FA cup's to hear the roar cos the service was done in hong kong..LOL

 

No, the service was done in Singapore - it's called a "test drive"...

 

Slacker you need to lighten up dude, it is only a car and it was built for speed so don't worry mine loves the red line "pulls like a 10 dollar *****"

 

Always knew I have very sensitive hearing......

Ramdor - couldn't have been yours, the engine note had that..'but my engine and oil are cold and I'm only here for a service' scream to it.

 

Slacker, don't worry man, it's what these engines are designed for. If you redline your engine it's still within it's operating tolerances, thats why it cut's out to stop any damage occuring. Chill out and enjoy your car, it's cool.

 

lol @ Sith... another oil change required - or was that an engine change?

Richie.

 

alright...I'm chillin!
