are the 2.5 litre engines as fragile as they appear? going on what I've read it looks bad
I'm only asking as i'm looking at getting one soon, but if its that bad I'll get an older 2.0 sti

My 2.5 went at very low mileage
There is so many 2.5 out there now with forged bits you may aswell buy one with the engine forged
Or for 15k the jdm 2.0 hatch for sale on here is an absolute bargain !!

You only read the bad reports if you search the net. As anyone who has had a problem obviously then search the net themselves.

The problem with IM on ebay is that they wont post to N.Ireland, actually blocks me from purchasing. they wont even reply to messages on ebay either! But it only cost an extra £10 from my local dealer
The wheels are the BBS forged ones that are listed in Hatch accessories brochure

only £10 more.. well thats not bad then.
How much further do these bring the arch out? Im on the 18" BBS rims with 20mm id say i would need at least 40mm spacers to fill these out

see the RH Clear Cluster for replacing the RH fog cluster, does it come with a bulb holder/fitting? or do you need to modify it to fit a Red fog bulb?

Yeah I got mine off eBay only a couple of quid I think.
The original bulb is a conventional filament type but I switched to LED.

Bits for sale
I've just put a stock exhaust back on my STi so have the MagnaFlow catback available if anyone wants to make an offer. It's this one. I had the car noise-tested with it on and it was 96 dB at 3/4 RPM, but due to parking in a car-port with brick/concrete on 4 sides (and a bedroom above) it's just too loud for the gf and neighbours on start-up early in the morning. This is what it looks like fitted:
I've also got a WRC style rear wing, I couldn't find any photo of mine on the car but it looks like this:
I got it off someone here a while back, and I painted it red (whatever the standard subaru red colour is) with the additional horizontal bit gloss black. It fixes on to the boot lid using the exact same mounting points as the standard wing so is very easy to swap over.
If you're interested drop me a PM, I'm based just outside Cambridge.

Why not...
Hey why not fit your new cdb 'super duper' engine... makes sense. And it'll make a great car ✅
The standard engines are a bit hit and miss unfortunately, a remap will help but cert not a guarantee. Be aware if you cont hit the limiter it will destroy it ...
I reckon one in five hatch Stis have bit the dust... amazing really.
