rb,s are the dogs kenny

bought the block from a company in colorado called heubergermotorsports ,i spoke to the guy that owns it way back at the beginning of the year . I did find a company that would supply a bit cheaper gruppe motorsport but in over a month of sending e mails and asking questions , the only reply i got back was what was my postal address not good in my book so went to the above company , hopefully the block should be getting shipped next wednesday at latest. Im now back home so can get on wae buying the internals wiseco is probably where ill end up , as money is tight for this car it wont be a no expense spared build , i aint in that league so slowly but surely as i need to buy a diesel for work soon, whats peoples thoughts on the WISECO forged internals before i go of purchasing as the original post said i will take on all advice and digest thanks kenny

HISTORY . i bought my 2002 bugeye in 2004 , i seen richard burns driving one on the rally stages and decided there and then i wanted one , but due to other cars and commitments it had to wait . the day came 06th february 2004 i picked the keys up to my wrx i think 8000 miles and owned by rbs previously, so driven by a total banker . once i picked it up other subaru owners kept flashing and waving , always returning the gesture. At that time i lived in lenzie i kept seeing this one impreza all the time waving and flashing it eventually turned out to be HI-JAC who told me all about the club so i joined .i never got to any meets as was to busy with work , but eventually re joined about two years a go the sidc . only mods to the car at that stage were eibach springs . To be honest i knew nothing about modding an impreza the club has well and truly changed that . my car wasnt an sti nor did i want an sti look a like so i opted for an individual looking wrx , so along came a high level boot spolier , 18" team dynamics alloys , colour coded side skirts, front splitter , whiteline arb droplinks , bc coilovers, . Externaly the car is how i want it although got a zun grill front mesh kit to go on and fog light covers also waiting at home . ENGINE As a few of you know i took my car up to crail and shagged the bottom end ,there was a slight rattle which never got any worse even after glasgow and lanark runs and this years highland fling , anyway bought a second hand blob 2.0 block with 18000 miles it was put in ran for a couple of days then the crank went solid . I had bought mods to upgrade the power including 550 pinks , sti tmic , vf35 turbo and some toys forge dump valve k&n cone filter front and rear brembos etc , all a waste of time after buying a fecked block of piston heads , so basically had to start again and re think the options , new impreza or crack on wae the bug , crack on wae the bug was the outcome . so today purchased a brand new 2.5 block hopefully should be delivered soon then i can get cracking and get this car back on the road , also been thinking about eventual power i now want to get into the 400s so bigger turbo injectors will be bought ( see you sat phil) . forged bits and pieces will be bought this week as well , i will update the post as things progress and get pics as well . oh i cant wait ALL ADVICE AND SUGGESTIONS WILL BE GLADLY ACCEPTED i want to get this car right and you lot are a mountain of knowledge kenny

minted m8 welcome kenny

thanks alistair , once again kenny

is there any difference between the uk supplied and the us supplied 2.5 sti block , even with delivery its still about £ 700 cheaper from the us . next question, the block is a 2002 -2006 why are these blocks so damagable is it through to much powewr going through them or very hard driving or are the internals just garbage thanks for any answers kenny

i dont have the tools to do this m8 would rather just get someone to sort it for me wae nae hassles , and it will end up a hassle if im involved kenny

team dynamics jet silver 7.5x18 craig i will probably need spacers me thinks kenny

As a few of you know im now going down the road of the 2. 5 block for my bugeye, ive had a look at prices from rogerclark motorsport etc for a forged built block .im now in contact with a us company called gruppe-s motorsport over there for one of their forged blocks which are on comparison are almost 50% less than a similar block back in the uk. Has anyone on here gone down that road buying from the us , and encountered any problems was also wondering if i would have to pay import tax , as i say e mailed the above company but they are mega slow at responding to my requests which is now making me look elsewhwre . my thanks in advance for your replies kenny

best thing to do ryan is phone one of the subaru garages and ask them m8 kenny

dont know about the wagons but i put blobeye ones on my bug saloon, no probs at all hope this helps kenny

happy birthday old bean kenny
