Hi Tim. My STi4 just expired two days ago. Not even sure what it is yet but quite sure its the big end - there were lots of loud knocking noises like someone hitting the engine with a hammer! Where are you located? I am not technically minded but am I right in thinking that I could buy your short engine and an ECU (power fc) and take it all and my car to a garage and have them fit it all together with little extras (belts, consumables)?

Pretty much, and the engine is currently residing at the ideal place to do this!; Zen Performance in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire!

Aha that could be good news. I'm just waiting for Derek at Zen to reply to my email to him.

Right, just in case anyone is interested in buying an EJ257 short engine, here's your last chance before I strip it down, change the rods and pistons and keep it!
You've got a week to make me an offer

The short answer is: Not a lot...
It's all down to jobs, money, housing and me and my ideas
