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. -------------------- ![]() |

They sold you the car and the warrenty covering the car as they sold it. You haven't done jack to the car since then.
Furthermore, why the heck did you buy a warrenty then when you knew it didn't cover anything? Take it to the dealer to have work done on it. if they bitch, they sold the car to you, and the warrenty to 'cover' it. |

[right][snapback]236217[/snapback][/right] "modified outside the manufactures specifications" doesn't mean, modified after I bought it from the dealer. It was not a Toyota Dealership. I'm sure Toyota wouldn't even touch this car, as if I'd even want them to. It means modified from its original STOCK specifications. Along with a list of other things, the warranty does cover: the engine, tranny, AC, power everything, axle assembly, clutch, etc. So for an extra ~$1,200, I don't see why I wouldn't get it. The fuel tank/line, and wheel bearings jobs already saved me ~$400+. I could take it back to the dealers shop, but from the past experiences and turn around times, I'd much rather bring it somewhere else. I don't have a problem pulling the turbo and doing the swap, so I figured it'll also be nice to have a header and setup if I ever needed to go NA for a quick turbo rebuild, or something else. -------------------- ![]() |
