Hopefully somebody on here knows it quite a spec if its documented with receipts.

there is no recepts for the engine rebuild but is does have a ej25 as he send me pictures of the stamp on the block also it has a small rust spot on the drivers wing at the bottom, and maybe im been fussy but the door looks off...

Id be wary without receipts, me personally i only buy motors with full documented history standard or modified. I know that when i do anything to motors i keep every receipt first question you get asked is do you have history. I take it theres no service history either ??

thats my problem the car i really like, BUT its the history that i dont i keep recepts for tax discs oil even filters! how can you not its just common sence to me.

It does look nice but dont jump in there was a guy on here other day got good advice not to buy a motor, he did and was straight on asking for advice as he had problems

yea, thats the reason i came here, i have had two imprezas before the first was a jem and the second one i impulse bought and ended up putting a new engine in it! again a car with no paperwork service history etc

hmm good point would someone like to ask as i have hounded him quite a bit. and really want it to be right as i am thinking of swapping fabia vrs with it and my fabia is mint!

no receipt for engine then walk away or expect to be paying for a rebuild.

def one to walk away from for sure

A 2.5 motor used enthusiastically will shred a Type-R transmission...

Wouldn't a std. turbo do 280 bhp easily ?

mmm, 350ftlb is def well into box shreading teritory, bet thats why hes selling it, knows he needs to spend alot on the box.

yeah, stn turbo would do 300+, so i bet its be rained in alot to preserve the box as you say

def a walk away job still in my eyes
