RS Grant Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 If its still the same engine that Dave put in, then I'm pretty sure its got forged pistons etc fitted... the car was absolutely bang on back in the day (even when it was sitting on 19" wheels!!), remember it sitting in a dealers a wee while ago and someone sticking a thread up about it. Stick some photos and a spec list of the car up now mate. Cheers, Grant
garydevine Posted June 20, 2010 Author Posted June 20, 2010 hi mate. sorry not been on in a while. that would be good to find out its got forged pistons etc! as for the spec. not sure. a thought it was standard but reading up on previous owners it may have had some work done like you said. Gary
thebigfelly Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 looks mint mate, lovin the big spoiler on the back, and the agressive look of it all, and very good inside aswel
drb5 Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Aaaaaaaaaaaah them were the days!!!! Tbh, i wouldn't pin my hope on it being the same block. If it's still got the goodes(Eagle rods and JE pistons), you'll hear it quite rattly when cold?
garydevine Posted June 22, 2010 Author Posted June 22, 2010 Aaaaaaaaaaaah them were the days!!!! Tbh, i wouldn't pin my hope on it being the same block. If it's still got the goodes(Eagle rods and JE pistons), you'll hear it quite rattly when cold? was it the original block in the scoob? if so then if the numbers match up then its most likely the same engine?? does sound a bit rattly a dunno if am just paranoid cause a blew my old scooby up. but the noise goes away when its warmed up. i took it to my mate and he said some subarus just sound like that but it is a little rattly. a was always scared of that tapping noise that came from it but ave done nearly 3k in the thing and its not missed a beat still has the exhaust and springs etc. wheels are going for a refurb as the back ones corroded. other than that the cars running well
drb5 Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Prolly the same engine then....i used the same block yes. There was some very light scoring on a couple of cylinders when it went, but not bad enough to warrant a new block. Got a company to hone it a bit and it was fine. It wasn't mapped no. MAF sensor failed, thus the reason for rebuild.
garydevine Posted June 23, 2010 Author Posted June 23, 2010 thats a good thing then dont suppose you have any receipts for it or was that long ago now? the mafs just on its away out the now. getting a new maf this weekend. Gary.
drb5 Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 No receipts i'm afraid no. New MAF is always a good thing!
garydevine Posted June 30, 2010 Author Posted June 30, 2010 No receipts i'm afraid no.New MAF is always a good thing! what mileage roughly did you conduct that rebuild. im just writing a list of everything its got done to it mate so i dont forget
drb5 Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 The thread where i was sellin it in says 58k, so knock 1k off for running engine in and maybe 5k tops before that....i didn't do many miles at all. At that, it's gotta be around 50-55k anyway. Looks like it still has the Revolution backbox...?
