I'm getting too MOT,but clutch i'm getting Exedy Twin Plate,which i don't think he can get for this sort of money
Agree is too much there,what i can say,nothing because is not my car...
But mostly depends on personal preference and i was using Slowboy Racing from beginning of my Subaru ownership and he help me few times with lots of question and he answer me without the problem.
Now about the building engine,if he ask here Rich@FB Tuning or Daz@daz-davis or Frayz about the building/rebuilding engine and i'm sure this guys will help him without the problem and will be cheaper too for him,just my thoughts.
Just leave like is it,most important is,He's happy and this most count

Some one who has never used us - calls up to say that he has heard bad things.
We never seem to hear from the actual people that have had a bad experience - I wonder why
Ah well

cars engines sit in pieces from formula1 cars, rally cars etc built with a endless budget. Wats ur point?
Cars fail for various reasons. In my opinion the majority of subarus fail from people messing about with the cars at home diy repairs, ebay add ons and non mapping.
Turbo failure causing a low oil level, melting a piston etc..
So how can you remotely make a comment about someones garage when litterally anything could have happened.

formula 1 cars are only intended to last for so long, this was built to be reliable and last a lot longer than 2000 miles, this i can assure you.
this car was only ever worked on by api themselves.
i said it wasnt from personal experiance

jef could you just explain what is so pointless about the post
i bought the car in question from somebody who i will not mention on here.
the engine let go after 2000 miles
david at api was not prepared to help with getting the car sorted atall apart from wanting nearly the same amount of money again to repair it.
as i said jef i didnt want to start an arguement about it i was mereley saying what i know
mapping done by api
engine built by api
engine fitted by api
all work done by api
it doesnt deserve a swift so fcking what as somebody is having some work done by them and spending a small fortune doing so.

you said you had a fcked engine in a garage and you bought it from a guy who said api built it. - you didnt give any information atall.
the ultimatle question is why it failed, there aew a million and 1 things that can cause engines to fail, for all people know, you couldve just taken a hammer to the block.
anyway you dont want to talk about it, and thats fine - i would always, always contact the person i was unhappy with privatley to sort any problem ever.
anyway as the dragons say - im out,

Another vote for API You wont be dissapointed mate
As for the guy with the broken engine after 2k,was the engine looked after in those 2k or was it just abused?
