Ah good old Iron X?
Good stuff that.
Rob, I wasn't saying they're not a good car it's just I think these engine problems have really damaged the Subaru brand - one I was devoted to for years.
As far as the fully forged route, that is indeed the way i would have gone as well towards the end of the warranty. It's just people shouldn't have to do this.
Anyway, I didn't come back on here to have a pop at people and there beloved Hatches. Far from it, I just like to have a nosey from time to time.

Iron x is bloody brilliant gear, I couldn't be without it, I'm sure it brings the white of the car out more lol
I agree with what your saying, We shouldn't have to go the forged route solo. Subaru should just have grown a set of bollocks and said yep we hold our hands up and there is an issue with the pistons, so as a gesture of goodwill for those 1100 units we've sold you can have a forged piston upgrade, similar to the carry on with the p1 many years ago.

No hassle at all, same as buying from the UK, just have to wait a wee bit longer for delivery. Depending on declared value, customs may add duty on top but from my understanding bluebat put a low value on it so no duty.
Go onto http://www.bluebatmobile.net (which takes you to their photobucket site) and select which ones you want. Contact details for ordering are on there, pay with Paypal and a few days later you'll have them.
