I used to work in Cotgrave many moons ago @ Northern lifts between the pub and the petrol station, think the name has changed now though.

So are you a decent painter? as I need some work doing and would prefer someone local so I can give them some **** if it's a crap job.

Yea I wouldnt lower a car again,unless I could buy whole setup (shocks etc) and only then if I researched that it wouldn't scrub.but wouldn't be surprised if a kit that worked properly would cost ££££s

scoobyJim2

If you want someone to do head gasket etc. I know a great subaru mechanic and probably the cheapest you'll find. Pm me if wanna know more

Tidgy

does he do the crank bearings jim?

scoobyJim2

He does it all! He's a proper top bloke. The Only thing is he doesnt remove engines himself,just works on engines on a bench. He does use a garage near him if you cant get it removed yourself. Also he arranges courier if you dont want to (which helped me)

Tidgy

for £1200?

Stidara

Cheers guys but I like to do the work on my own cars then I know it's done right and exactly what's been done

Stidara

I've never had any complaints yet

Gotta ask, how did you know it needed a head gasket from the photo?

scoobyJim2

Mate he was gonna do a total standard rebuild on my wrx for around a thousand pound. I ended up having uprated con rods,teflon coated pistons,acl race bearings,reseated new valves,drilled & ground crank,timing belt (tensioner,rollers etc. water pump,oil pump,oil modine/cooler,headgaskets,head bolts,had block converted to semi-closed (he found a company to weld lugs the same as scdb) he done the lot! Aswell as picked up and delivered for less than 2k. Think it was £1700+£150 for oil modine.

scoobyJim2

If it's a 2.5litre im sure they're prone to it,thats probably how he guessed lol

scoobyJim2

Also stidara mentions in another thread it needs headgasket lol. Just see its a 2003 so I think its 2.0 litre so my other post is probably wrong

Lol, I was looking at the photo thinking how the hell?! Definitely makes more sense that he saw it posted before!
I'm easily confused!!

scoobyJim2

When I first see pic/post I was looking at the back for smoke,wondering how he knew it was head gasket lol. I then read the other thread

bigphilbaby

Sti insurance is slightly cheaper due to the WRX being quicker on UK roads.
