is it just me or are nearly all off you saying youve had "MY00" that have failed with low mileage on them maybe a fault form subaru somewhere

 

Not a fault with Subaru IMO.

I have a MY00, 93,000miles, driven well, Serviced by Subaru for 4 years and then by one of the highest SQEP'd Engineers on SN ........ still running like a sewing machine

 

thats the kiss of death if ever i heard one

PS
mines done 125,000miles, and i,ve got to get back from exeter to cambridge tonight

i do about 1000 miles a week -- no probs so far

 

Darms, just seen this, terrible news mate...ignore Pete (sunnyside up), he's like a cracked record. What spec have you agreed with API?

 

Shuuush!! Or you'll jinx it!!!

 

Apart from your fuel bills?

 

So far Darms appears to be allowed to spend the equivalent of :

1 x Jimmy Choo shoulder bag
A pair of Christian Louboutin stilettos
An Asprey necklace
A gold ladies Rolex

A crate of brown ale and two poodles.

 

Hey buddy, tell me about it As for the spec (its a mind field) gonna leave it to David's recommendations.

Thanks David - you've just given her 3 additional ideas .

Hope she doesnt monitor the thread

 

With the exception, maybe, of the Ladies Rolex .... I am extremely concerned about your great knowledge on the Ladies most desirable items!!

Is there something you want to tell us?

 

drop me a PM if I can help in anyway, starting to miss mine now its been broken for over two months

 

cheers buddy

Thought that was ages ago........, loosing my memory

 

1800 bucks for a set of rods Jeez what ARE they made of??

Ah well, you can have a set of APi brand steel rods for $1795

Seriously, ours are rated to beyond 500 hp and cost £450.00 + VAT and we are here in the UK with a warranty and a phone line that gets answered when you have a problem.

cheers david ,
the company who did my rebuild use those rods in all there cars including there Nippon Challenge Subaru (which Won) and all other rally builds etc they do .The company is called Xspec motorsport based in hinckley. the price for the mrt rods is in Oz dollars works out to about £800.00 which i paid slightly less than that.

Thanks david if you know anymore please let us know

Cheers nathan

 

Aaah ! That's whatsisname that used to be at Midland Impreza. They closed down about 4 years ago -ish.

David

 

it was ages ago

 

Thats right david, his name is graham poultney hes runs Xspec he used to run midland impreza with mick miller but have since go there own ways.

Has any one else used xspec motorsport based in hinckley????

Any more info on the rods anyone

I didnt find out about api until work was started on my car, ive only heard good things about you david, shame because i only live in nuneaton...

thanks again nathan

 

Only two poodles ?

Is someone scrimping on the spec somewhere ?



dunx

 

I've used David at API, BRILLIANT.
Very helpful, spent a lot of money with him, worth every penny twice over.
Tried xspec, he doesnt even answer the phone. When he could be bothered to reply he sends you a text. Then still wont answer the phone. Wont be trying again.
I live in Bedworth and its worth a trip or a call to David.
His knowledge is readily available and he answers the phone!!!

 

Great News and just shows you why I use API

Spoke to David today who had some great news, it was not my bottom end as initially thought by all But the Gear Box had failed on me!

How many garages would be so honest? Not many me thinks

David I owe you and the lads a or two

Opportunity to have some mods fitted me thinks

 

Glad to hear that it wasn't the OIl change after all

But, a new gearbox isn't going to be cheap?

 

Nice one Darms GREAT NEWS

get a nice box and your off

darc

 

There was never any question about oil change, that's always taken care of by the professionals mate

David's got that one sorted for me

 

Tell me about it mate...... Mrs is over the moon too

 

nice,

Have you got a date when its coming back home?

 

How happy must u be now!! oh well there goes the jimmy choo's Glad to here it was just the box and very nice of dave and lads at api to be so honest

 

Na not sure yet mate......no urgency on my part

Got that right I'm over the moon mate However the Mrs is still after her Jimmy Choo ............... not sure how long I'm gonna be able to put it off as she's given the up for API ported Headers and Up pipe

 

In hind sight im glad i rebuilt mine in the end,its now bulletproof

Ive got 500miles of running i left im more excited now than when i brought the car,are you finding it exciting breeding a new more powerful life back in to the impreza

Be warned once you start you cant stop

Ive spent twice as much on the car as i paid for it, in only six months

I love it lucky ive got an understanding wife

Darms your in good hands, is was with out mine for 3 weeks but it felt like 3 months

All will be great!"!!!

cheers nathan
