Changing the oil and warming up and cooling down will help but at the end of the day they are running on an sti 5 import ecu too much ignition advance for british fuel that is how they get 300bhp at 14 psi , thus many blow due to detonation , a knocklink to monitor is a good idea or a re-mappable ecu re-mapped is best .

still nice cars good luck (also from chester) silver classic wrx

Don't see how detonation causes the bottom end to fail, I always thought detonation melted the pistons, every P1 i've seen has had the crank knocked out due possibly to lubrication problems, several of them shortly after being serviced?
