When I got my car from the dealer, I also purchased an extended warranty. It wasn't much more, and I figured I could save some money down the road, so why the hell not. Its already saved me from: Front Right Wheel bearing replacement, Tapping a larger oil return hole in pan for turbo, Fuel tank/line work, and other inspections/tests.
Obviously I'd like to swap the engine or tranny if I could, but I'm sure at some point the warranty company will ask whatever tech I bring it into, if there are any mods on it. I figure taking off the turbo would be a must, and that I could get away with some of my other mods. My main question is: What all am I going to have to tune down? I know injectors for one. But...FPR? Fuel Pump? Everythings listed in profile. In a related issue, I have an extra CT26 core that I don't have much need for. If someone has an extra header laying around, I'd be willing to discuss some trades. Thanks for the input. -------------------- ![]() |

Nope, the warranty won't cover it. Not only is it not included in the plan, but the warranty also states that the vehicle is not eligible if modified outside the manufactures specifications.
I'm sure that would fly if the dealer registered it as a GT-Four, but I'm sure they know that '96 GT ST204s don't come turboed. If the warranty company even caught a hint of the word 'aftermarket', I would be SOL. QUOTE(shid @ Jan 20, 2005 - 1:57 PM) So they made a larger oil return hole in the pan for the turbo? But you're saying you want to take off the turbo so everything will be covered under warrenty? You're not making much sense. [right][snapback]236169[/snapback][/right] That job I actually had done before I took it off the lot. It was leaking oil, and I told them to fix it. They had their private shop do the work, and said that the warranty would cover the cost. I doubt they even called it in, and just ate the small bill. Wasn't that much of a deal. Now if I told them I needed to swap an engine or tranny, since its a larger job I'm sure questions will be asked.
