Unhappy Engine FAILure, engine re-build I think

Morning people, many sore heads from yesterday on here??

Well my big ends (love that term ) have gone on my 02 WRX by the sounds of things ......... So i guess a a bottom end re-build is required if not complete engine re-build?? (reccomendations welcome! as never had this issue before!)

I live near Luton can anyone recommend somewhere nearby (or anywhere if there isn't somewhere nearby) that can do the re-build for me as I don't have the tools or space to do it myself, also a rough price range that I should be looking at?

Thanks guys I look forward to some speedy replies as I need to find somewhere A.S.A.P. or look at other modes of transport as I'm not flush with money right now (who is these days?!)

Thanks!!

if you love the impreza, and its a big IF, then save the money and get it done properly. nothing worse than spending good money after bad if you know what i mean.
best take it to someone reputable like api or something, or you can consider buying a new 2.5 block hee hee

Speak to David at API, he'll be more than willing to go through options and costs that best suit what you're after whether it be standard or... something more special.
