I have had a think about this and like to think I've learnt a bit from some of the protracted hugely expensive builds I've read about\seen. I've also just had to replace my central heating, fridge freezer and water mains supply which between them has eaten the money I've been saving for the build :cry: so money is a little tight at present :freak3:

Stage 1; rebuild with a 2.1 CDB with a Simtek, retaining my current set up (18g TD05 and P1 box etc etc). I may be forced to replace my heads, I'll have to wait until its all stripped before the extent of the damage is visable. If the heads are OK I'm aiming to have this stage complete by June, if not I'll source some sti 5\6 heads but that will push the completion date out.

These build stages will depend on how far up 5hit creak the coutry is economically and how brave I'm feeling :lol1:
Stage 2; 6 speed Forester box and ancillaries.

Stage 3; bigger turbo and injectors.

Stage 4; sti heads if I've not already replaced them.

My intention is to have it back up and running so I can use it ASAP and then add to the spec as I can afford to...I'm not in a position to chuck money at it at present so I'll take my time :thumb:

Dan, Zak means there are no 15mm bolts on a scoob...so if I find you trying to undo a 14mm with it you will be wearing it :nono::lol1:
