karps Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 (edited) At long last i have my car back . Its not been the best start to the year but the cars all shiney with a new paint job AND its got a rebuilt engine (HUGE thanks to charlie and the team at Ian Greive for that). Now all i have to do is decide whether to keep what is ultimately a new car, or sell it and get my sensible head on. decisions decisions Noel Edited April 17, 2010 by karps
micra_wrc Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 yay need new pics of the car pronto, to take away the horrid images of how it looked after the paint stripper attack.
seafar99 Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Noel, i think the sensible decision would be to keep it.
tomwrx08 Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 keep the sensible head on and KEEP the scooby, no point in getting rid of a perfectly new car its looking superb
Richie Cross Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Great news Noel. I'm guessing you never found out who was responsible? From your pics it looks like you live on a pretty quiet street as well.
gus the bus Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Glad to hear its all sorted and back mate. Now do the sensible thing and get on with the modding
bobbyc Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Good news at last Noel it's looking as it should again, what happened to the engine that it had to get the treatment.
mystery machine Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Glad you're back in business Why the engine rebuild, out of curiosity?
hi_jac Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 New engine,,,new paint,,, and no tick... The only sensible decision would be to keep it. Good to see you got it back for the weekend, have fun driving your scooby

Probably because the 2.5 is made of chocolate. A remark on Subaru's facebook page is as follows: "Subaru dont expect the engine to last the warranty period of the car" This was put up by a guy who's engine blew twice in 17,000 miles.He rejected the car. And i would like to add mine was in for its 11th warranty repair today.N/S mirror wouldn't fold in. Edited April 17, 2010 by billyboy

Well not exactly sure what happened, but got a phonecall from the paintshop after it being there for over a fortnight saying they jump started it cos the battery was flat and i started to smoke badly after being left idling, so a quick phonecall to Grieves (with a week left on my warranty) got it up to them, discovered a scored piston etc. Cant thank them enough for getting the claim and the work done quickly otherwise i would have been up s##t creek without a paddle.
