There was an article in the printed version (I didn't see it on the website) reporting on people having their warranties voided when they go in for service and the dealer finds out that the owner has been autocrossing. The case-in-point was an Evo owner that ran the car in the local SCCA region. When he took the car in for repairs (admittedly significant), they told him that they knew he was autocrossing it (they wouldn't tell him how they knew) and that he was going to have to pay out-of-pocket for the repairs - $7k.
They also discussed the situation with Subaru where you get a year's SCCA membership with the purchase of a WRX so that you can "experience the full potential of your car". In the grand scheme of things, I suppose this is fair, but it is something to keep in mind. |

Chevrolet is also in this game (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) .........my warranty was voided after I had a 10 spoke wheel crack in 3 places at the hub ( did NOT help that it had a Nitto RII mounted (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) My car is branded "No Warranty for any claims"
And before any ask, no I did NOT hit anything, just a bad casting! Gary |
