Hello mate.

Call Mike at Cyclone Motorsport in Wickford on 01268764321. Tell him Jay sent you. He won't charge you much to do. He knows Subarus, but he specialises in fabricating chassis and roll cages etc. he builds classic minis, converting them to rid with all sorts of engines including v6 twin turbos with nitrous.

He charges around £40 per hour.

Hope this helps.

Failing that, if you want to help, my good mate Gary in Romford loves a challenge. In fact we are replacing my decat this weekend so you are more than welcome to pop over for a chat on Sunday.

mate apperently its still smelling in car as its still smoking ......so i think it maybe leaking again ,,,,,im hoping its just oil spilt on headers or something but he took it out for an hour after and kept in running at home for ages and still stinking car out

funkmasterjay

Oh no. Could it be that there was some oil on the headers after the wrk was carried out?

kezwaldo

well im hoping he will ring and say its stopped smoking ..but im not to confident you would of thought it would of gone after couple hours of engine running wouldnt you .......bit gutted for him as 60 quid for gaskets plus 50 labour and its no better...
