Wig,when you get your new engine fitted,get it back into Keith Prices and get Peter to check it over for your peace of mind he is a top fella, realistically if a company is going to supply and fit you a replacement engine with a warranty chances are it will be fine.Get some good oil straight in and stop the 200mph runs.

oh dear, the only fool around here is you, so this is how you treat people who try and give you good advice and point you in the direction of a good STI engine at half the price your going to pay for god only knows what your going to have put in.
Well done pal, like I said i've had enough, peace and out.
Send a pm to LISA WRX i'm sure she'll be happy to delete your account for you.

Yea man loads a honda go bonk I no of hmm none subaru hmmmm F In loads of dem blud day all on yer Avin rebuild and dem breaking der scooby poos plus ep3 vtec don't engage till 6 k and they then rev hard till 9 k they get faster at the top of revs most turbo cars tail of towards the end of revs like u say 5 6 k unless there tuned well den they can rev till da end or even more like. honda don't even start reving till after dis so wa u chating blud go suck yo moma
You have absolutely no idea about cars or engines, it revs to 9k, errrrm yes my STI revs till 8k, the point is that its PEAK power is around 6.8k, after that it drops off, the honda's are similar, peak is around 7.6k then drops off so revving it till 9k is a waste of effort.
Oh and honda's break more often than you know, no doubt you will come out with the "honda have never had a vtec unit fail" line, welcome to the "urban myth"

Been reading this from the start and I've been really trying not to be bad and get involved
Wig , you have blown two engines up , so what
It's very simple , if you drive like a cabbage any engine will blow
I think you need to get a car that you can practise your driving skills in until you get the hang of changing gear so it's not hitting the limiter for starters

Why is this thread still going on have you made up your mind exactly what your going to be doing with your car Wig?As that is what I'm interested in hearing about,but the rest of the drivel and nonsense is getting a bit long in the tooth now,it seems that as soon as one member puts down the gauntlet another picks it up for the free argument,this could go on forever.SJ.

And hadn't been looked after at all ,
How many members are on this forum ? How many have fecked an engine , even more so how many have fecked two
Go on a Porsche forum and ask how many engine failures with 996 or Bmw forums with m3 vanos failures ,
All cars have issues , it just depends if you're a mard **** and run around crying about it , or grow a set and just fix it
