Friggin' phone tag sucks. Receptionist at the body shop said that the car was taken out to the dealership today, but that's all she knows. Body shop dude will call after his lunch if there's more info.
Find out who at the dealership is handling the work! Shop manager, etc...contact him/her directly. DONT Wait for them to call you! No one cares about this like you do!

Fortunately the dealer who's doing the work is literally a km from my house. I'm thinking about going in tomorrow to check in with them.

Just spoke with the guy at the body shop who spoke to the owner of the dealership. He said I'll be much happier with the engine I'm getting because it's "zippier" and that it "revs a lot nicer." I was like, What does that mean? He told me that the engine came directly from Japan. I told him I thought the whole car was built in Japan but he said the engine isn't?


What could be different about the engine? I'm definitely going to have to go into the dealer tomorrow. I'm no friggin' mechanical genius, but there are plenty of terms I'm familiar with. :tryingnottothinkI'mbeingtreatedlikeastupidgirl:

Sounds like they are getting a used Japanese engine. That's probably what he meens when he says it's "from" Japan. The compression ratio is .7 higher I think but it only makes 5-10 more HP and they have higher octane fuel.

OK. I think it's actually 11.7:1 instead of 11.1:1
