Gutted for you Ryan!
Only ever heard good things about WMS so hope they build you a nice one and you get sorted out soon,put the whole sorry story behind you and maybe when your dream car is rebuilt(awesome looking car btw) you can then save up for another bike
Best of luck with it all.
In talks with Andy atm hopefully make sure move next week he is mega busy atm so see how it goes hoping to make Europe trip March April time
Bugger, nice to see you have a positive attitude in spite of the situation.
I would still have it stripped down to determine the cause of the failure other wise the same thing may happen to the next one, just in case it turns out to be fuel pump or some other ancillary that is still on the car.

Onwards and upwards.
Engine will be split when I decide what I'm doing by me or Andy. Don't want to split it now due to small garage and don't want to loose bits etc. Determine what the problem was then

Gutting for you mate.. My SC42 let go last week, it was a year old, turbine paddles gone as the previous owner left the lamda in the up pipe, als melted it/shot it up to the turbo.. I fitted a blank in the hole, and its eventually caused the turbo to start passing oil. I just bought my impreza in September, 'finished', already spent 2 grand on the old girl. In no where near as deep as you, so only can imagine you must be gutted..
Owen developments have the turbo at the mo, replacing the shaft/turbine, metal cage bearings and updated heatshield and zircotec on the exhaust side..
Just came across thisreally sad news.I know how much time money and effort that you have invested in your car,but as you said you have come to far to bail out now,I can definitely relate to that,anyway chin up and keep moving forward.All the best with your project mate.SJ.

Cheers mate yeah had to leave the car and walk away leave it over night especially when there was a big hammer on the side.. I will get there one day.
May be a bit of a strange option, have you thought of getting a standard engine from matt baker and running with the power you have? My friend Rupert has just bolted on the same turbo as myself, with a standard ej207.. Only 20 bhp less than my 2.1 and he's running 0.2 bar less..
I thought about doing a rotated 30/71, similar to the sc42.. Just couldnt justify it as the next ring trip is in Easter, I'm just itching to use it. Cost is hooge as well before selling the old bits..
Hope you figure it out mate, it looks brilliant under the bonnet

Have thought about it yeah, but all the track days and ring and spa trips I'm planning I want something I can thrash and not worry about also
My plan for next year was rotated EFR turbo of about 600bhp so may as well do it if I can now
[QUOTE=A1AXX;11780525]Very welcome to join us for Easter weekend at the ring for car Friday, booking houses at the holiday park, 10ish cars and about 15 or so people[/QUOTE
Cheers pal where are you from? I'm up in Manchester. Have to play this by ear and see where I'm at closer to the time. Hoping to get it all sorted asap but will see over the coming weeks
Same dude, more so in case the weather is going to be too wintery lol. Im down in Wiltshire.. I know how these things can be, this time last year I was scratch building an engine for a 205, the bottome end did come back from balancing until march and it needed mapping and running in before easter for last years trip!!

Good thing about my car is the engine bay is so stripped and bare can get the engine out in a hour easy. Just finding one now or having one built that's going to take the time! 😕
Couple here of my framed front end, not 100% finished yet but I cut everything away! The frame holds and supports everything now and saves loads of weight but is still strong
Rite lads bit of a update, I've found a ready built 2.35 engine built by Paul finch that's only done 2k.. 1k was running in.. bit more than I can afford but we shall see over the next week.. but I need a new clutch along which is looking at around the £700 mark.. so not much point putting a engine in until I get this sorted as well
I feel your pain. I had mine booked in for the bodywork to be done on my subaru and now it's looking like the engine has let go. I'm not sure whether to cut my losses and look for another subaru, or bite the bullet and get it rebuilt.
