Engine please
 

bottom ends starting to knock... time to change the lump me thinks. any 1 no of a engine to fit a 97 classic?

car is a t2k, sti box ecu etc would also be an option!:norty:

cheers

You could find an engine thats up for sale with fsh, 50k miles, always warmed up/cooled down, oil changes every 3k, total bargain at 1k, put it in and 200 miles down the line it goes bang, or get yours rebuilt which may be a safer option ;)

Tony:)

is there not quite a price difference between the 2 tho?

The point im trying to make is that you dont know what your buying, only what the buyer said about the engine, chances are its 150k, oil changes every 3 years/30k miles, so your safest and cheapest option is a rebuild :)

Tony:)

i see your point.:thumb: my wallet aint that deep tho :( cant be spunking 3k+ on a engine as much as i would love too. cant afford to run a second car and have no where to SORN the scoob to do the very lenthy re-build. (coz it would be month by month!)

and b4 it starts from the snotty ones on here, i aint a chav, i did know the risks of owning a scoob and no i dont rag it everywhere, just unlucky its started to sound rough.
so spending a few 100 quid on another engine is my only option really.:brickwall

i could then maybe think about rebuilding my engine month by month :)

I've got one running fine, if you like you can see it before it's removed from the car, its in the 80's but was on 50 something when i brought it before converting to mph. i'm in the middle of building a later semi closed forged 2.0 so about to take this one out, let me know if your interested and make an offer, im in harlow, and its a classic import wrx 96, oil changes every other month and only run on vpower

Sorry, forgot to say, it will only be the block thats availible

cheers mate but i need the lot.... cheers anyways
