No. Reliability is performance. To finish first, you must first finish. This has been the interpretation for as long as I can remember. There are endless debates about whether that should be the inte

Steven, This is a long standing problem. It's called reliability vs. performance concerns. If you allow for a "reliability" modification, say your aluminum air separator tank, can you possibly forese

Mark, It's a great idea, and I certainly believe it has merit. However, the manufacturer may have other reasons behind not issuing a TSB. Issuing a TSB on their product might imply a weakness in thei

I think it depends on the car. Mazda issued a TSB for premature clutch wear, applicable to customers with a "habit" of hard acceleration. They changed the clutch facing to accomodate it. It'd be pret

Yeah, _that'll_ sure help the autocrosser. "Well, we're only paying you half the money we used to so that you can change that front motor mount." Not to mention that if they issue a TSB they get pot

Its interesting that in three examples you're already at one that's clearly not an exclusionary type weakness. Look, I never said the list wouldn't grow, but to say is doesn't scale is kinda silly.
