I would need to take a deposit by Monday. Mark A Hoppy 05 August 2004, 13:25 Mark, yhm. Guys, I currently have a 2.5 motor from Mark, untouched in orginal crate. If anyone would like it at the original GB price, email me at richard.hopkins@emap.com I'm in Peterborough, Cambs. I'm thinking of upgrading to the Apex Stage 3 motor Mark refers to above, which comes already fitted with trick pistons and rods. It's expensive and I don't need it now, but next year might be different :D Cheers, Richard.

However, we do not get involved in price matching particularly when it concerns custom engines and such. We have been building Subaru engines for competition for a number of years and have had the opportunity to test and evaluate many different products. Based on this knowledge the choice of compenents we use ensures that our customers recieve the performance, reliability, and longevity they are expecting. The components we choose are the highest quality products available regardless of price, brand name, or other factors. This is what our customers have come to expect from us and therefore it would be difficult to price match with other engine builders who choose components based on meeting a certain price level and not necessarily to provide the best quality product. We utilize Carillo H-beam connecting rods because Carillo has the most stringent quality controls in the business and use proprietary materials & treatment processes that exceed the specifications of any other brand on the market. They are quite a bit more expensive then Pauter (which Axis uses), Eagle, and others. For pistons we use Wiseco for road applications because the expansion characteristics of the materials ensure a long life with low noise and reduced cylinder wall scuffing. They are also fairly lightweight compared to some other piston brands. With this in mind, our competition 2.5L shortblock runs $3450. We can cross drill the crankshaft for an additional $150. If you think you will have an order for several pieces we can discuss discounts although there is not a tremendous amount of room to move on the price. Thanks. Regards, Dave RalliSpec" Hoppy 06 August 2004, 19:44 Insurance for modded cars, try Subaru Insured. Run by Tom of Schofield Insurance.
