Default The new motor

Well I'm back again after owning a blob then a bug then a hawk I took a break away from the subaru scene and tried to be sensible however after only a few months the itch was back lol and I needed another Scooby In my life so I thought I would try a classic out I searched high and Low and spotted this it's a uk2000 fully forged and is a tidy example past 2 owners were members on here future plans are to just tidy the little niggles it has and in 2 minds to put unequal headers on it as it's currently running equal and I dunno if I like the sound but it seems silly to sacrifice power for a sound track lol and still unsure about the morettes anyway I will stop babbling sorry for pic quality











And a arty shot lol



Thanks for looking

Craig

Nice clean example you got there.
Think it looks perfect as it is, maybe take the light out the passenger morrette and have a direct cold air feed pipe to the air filter!!

Yea I know max was sound gave me the previous owners number aswell he had nothing to hide plans are just a general tidy up really replaced a few bits already that were tired down pipe drop links etc like I said I need to make my mind up about the headers and headlights I like the sound when it comes on boost but it's lost it's subaru rumble but it seems madness to sacrifice power for noise lol

Sometime dealers do this so that people will ask them to source another
