While your ringing around for quotes, give john at OSG motorsport (Prestatyn)a call (01745 856784), he built a complete V3 sti RA engine for me (heads,block,turbo). He specialises in subaru's and rally prep work. Tell him Russell the car transporter driver recommended him. He knows his stuff, done a great job for me and won't mess you about.
