i assume you got it under warranty. what did you say (if anything) to explain the damage (or what happened)?

I wouldn't bragg about it on here!
Quote: no ofence man but if you have so much experience in all that why does your car look like crap?
So you slapped on a turbo, didn't do anything to the motor so it could handle the turbo. Then you went out an blew it up, most likely snapping rods. Then you removed all the stuff you put on it so that it would look stock again so you could rip off GM and force them to pass the costs on to the consumer (the rest of us).
And now you are here and PROUD of what you did?
So do you often have other people pay for your mistakes? Do you really think GM should pay for your stupidity? How about the rest of us paying for your stupidity?
I hope you blow this one up too and they laugh at you next time.
GM would charge us an arm & a leg regardless of him getting a motor replaced or not. from what i heard from a friend of mine that worked at a gm dealership service shop (pontiac), his free motor is the least of their worries. (if it even was free, how do you know he didn't purchase it or work out a 50/50 deal with them?)

actually i had to turn in my $2,000 extended warranty and void the rest of my factory warranty which gm paid to the dealership. something that gm and the dealership worked out somehow. so every one is happy now.

i know my dealer here in montgomery does not care, i have come to the dealership with the nx on my car and he is like be careful adn actually asked for a ride and i took him and he said my warranty is not VOIDED.....
^ that was the whole agreement. not too worried with having extra motors and trannys for the ecotec.

?????...uhhh....Wow I guess theres actualy people like you out there....
Hey if you like destroying cars why dont you buy something ugly and worth breaking.... like a Civic or something.
maybe because he wants to go faster, not break down.?
personally i would take a modded J over a modded civic

GM dealerships do not just "void" a warranty they will just not warranty items that are affected by the mods. Say he breaks a spring. They arent gonna say and cant say "oh you have nitrous we cant warranty your suspension"

wow..r u a liberal?
gm stock is crashing .... last year was the first time american cars had less warranty problems then germans cars per every 100 cars making
1.jap 12/100 cars
2.usa15/100 cars
3.german 16/100 cars
now your not helping americans at all and making us look like bad engineers. hurting stock holders and comminting fraud thats a pretty serious charge. alot of these people on here are gay & love to complain. but even though u make it seem like no big deal but it effects alot of people
