Thanks for the reply craig, im hoping theres a few good stalls there so i can get my hands on some new toys. Any idea on how much the average donation is? I dont want to look like a greedy sh*t and donate less than everyone else usually does. Ive never been so dont have a clue.

i am planning on getting all the gauges,knocklink and apexi ecu but im running low on cash as ive just bought the car and the rebuild + all labour is costing me just over £8000. where is the best place to get the octane booster and what price? i think ill run the engine in with the booster and get a remap once simon at japerformance thinks its ready for it.
-
as far as i know its api engines that r doing the rebuild and im getting strenghtened con rods, pistons for an 99sti, lightened flywheel, racing bearings,uprated crank and ported head. my cars a 93 import wrx.

yes mate i dont think i know you but if im in peterhead at any time and see you ill stop for a chat, mines is a silver k looks standard just now but wont when i get my own way with the wife haha. -
just to let everyone know u can win an argument with a garage. i have settled with them that they pay the labour to rebuild my car and i buy the uprated parts. a massive thanks to simon at JAPERFORMANCE in ellon for genuinely helping me out and you probably guessed where the rebuild is taking place. i have 100% faith in simon as do others ive heard from and i will be posting again on how it goes. i will see some of you when i get the car back at meets. take it easy kids. cheers steve

hi since im goin to be gettin a full rebuild id like to be able to keep an eye on whats happenin under the bonnet. which gauges and pods would u recommend and where best to purchase them. i would also like to modify the cars performance what is the best parts for strong performance and reliability? it has a k&n induction kit and a stainless exhaust.

cheers for the replies boys i think ill just go ahead with a full rebuild while im at it to save future dissapointment. i look forward to meeting some of you at the alford track day, i should have the car back by then,fingers crossed iv not even had the chance to take it for a proper drive but from what iv heard i have total faith in jp at ellon.

hi kids just joined up this morning, wondering if anyone can help me i bought a 93 imported wrx from a garage and 8 miles down the road it started blowing blue smoke and throwing oil out the dump valve and dipstick. i think its the turbo but im worried it maybe a piston gone that made the dipstick pop out. the cars going into japerformance in ellon to get checked out and fixed so ill be doing a write up on the lads work done to my car. anyways suggestions of the above problem would be much appreciated.
