Welcome to the API website speak to David is a good bet.

 

Sound advice.
You will not get ripped off.
They are in Leamington spa in the countryside close to the M40.
Call David and they can also arrange trailered collection i think.

Over the last 6 years they have done 1100 engines, rattly bottom ends are a routine to them.
Tell David '911' sent you!

 

Why don't people just tell him how much it's going to cost, that's what the guy really needs to know.
From API, you're looking at around the £3000 mark for a full engine rebuild. You can do it quite a bit cheaper, but you do have to shop around. There are many other builders out there who are more than capable of rebuilding a scooby engine.

 

96 WRX is much nearer to a finished job at 2 grand than three.

Thanks Chris , l'll do my own pricing.
