Dalthegooner Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Try Grade A Subaru they do engines from £500. I've used them a couple of times and they are well helpful [Y]
prodrive tony Posted April 20, 2006 Author Posted April 20, 2006 Thanks. £2000 recon including fitting, £1200 second hand + fitting or £1800 sti lump 30,000 miles + fitting??? Help please.
HOL Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Have you tried powerstation for a low miles bottom end removed for a T25 Conversion. Find a part may be a good idea, There was aguy on SN, selling UK engine parts. On EB http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUBARU-IMPREZZA-ENGI...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/subaru-wrx-engine_W0...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUBARU-IMPREZA-TURBO...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/subaru-engine-legacy...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Subaru-Impreza-wrx-N...1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Subaru-Impreza-STi-v...1QQcmdZViewItem Some of them do look a bit dodgy, though! And nearly all in lancashire???? Also I will email you a list of breakers , when my ISP site comes back on line. []
j-k Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 Tony, Try Sajid at He has some cars in for breaking at the moment....Dont forget to mention Kent Scoobies for a possible discount... jon

prodrive tony Posted May 14, 2006 Author Posted May 14, 2006 Hi mate, yes got a place opposite Brand's Hatch, friend of a friend. Gone for forged pistons, larger brand new td05 turbo, samco hoses etc. Can not wait to get back on road again, thanks for advice everyone.
granby Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 Sounds like it's gonna be a bit of a beast when it's done []

granby Posted May 14, 2006 Posted May 14, 2006 Hope so mate, hope it lasts!! Just need ECU done now. Autronic would be nice if they weren't so expensive, launch control, anti-lag [] [] []
