yes, you can also get from arrow direct if you know part number, but omega are reluctant to sell for subaru and advise to go to their sellers i.e. Rcm as they have rights for omega pistons for subaru iirc. |

ok buddy I will speak with mark @ thwaites about them, I was going to use Manley H-tuff rods and my current 2618 Mahle pistons.
my 2 pence worth. Hence I went with omega as on all the different marque of cars they do I don't think I can find any fault or problems |
so not alot to update at the minute, the car hasnt moved in about 3-4 weeks and as such the battery has gone flat again. i now have a ctek battery conditioner so will get that hooked up once ive jump started it. in no rush at the minute as i recently dislocated my shoulder/fractured my shoulder blade along with bicep/chest injuries so im out of action for a while.
regarding the build.......it will still be happening but i wont be pushing for 500bhp now due to costs/other financial requirements but i will be heading for anywhere between 420-450bhp. once im able to drive a manual again i will pop over to thwaites to get an exact quote for the build. best turbo for 420-450bhp on a 2.5............give recommendations please |
well all quotes are in now from the tuners i have contacted. really dont know who to use now............
|
It would be interesting to compare them all. Hope you are on the mend now, injuries like that take a fair time to recover from .

well............SHE LIVES FINALLY.
managed to jump start her from my jeep today since i parked her up 8 weeks ago due to my broken shoulder, i pulled the fuel pump fuse to dry crank it but it disabled the starter circuit so i quick timed the ignition start/stop maybe 15 times and then fired her up, she started fine with no rattles/smoke etc. i let her idle for 15 mins then took her out for an hour or so.................loved it :) |

yeah you should be fine with them mate, my engine was built and mapped by them back in 2016 and it doesnt use a drop of oil and always starts 1st turn of the key. done around 12k on the engine now

Another pass on the old mot, turns out I have only driven 1300 miles since last April........I must try and drive her more.
The tester said he was really impressed with it and it was a pleasure to mot it. He has said that the underside would benefit from a good clean and some sort of treatment which i will get sorted this year. All in all for a 12 year old jap ****-box it's a good-un...... Happy days :) |
Lovely motor mate :thumb:

Sorry to hear that. I had a bit of a setback 4 years ago, aged 49; before that I had a relatively physical job and felt pretty invincible, so I get that. I was self employed and unable to work for nearly a year, so things were going tits up. But it actually made me, when I was well enough, go and do something that I had always wanted to do. Silver linings and all that. Good luck, I'm sure it will be sorted quickly.

Blob lights fitted and a quick clean........much better
