Still had fun though, and yeah the bacon sarnies were good. :thumb: |

But still for OE rebuild with STi parts is little bit too much pay £3650 or its just me?
I was paid for 2.1 stroker with Cosworth pistons,Cosworth rods and 79mm crank,Cosworth Baffled sump lot less with fitting. Jura |

To be fair, he is getting an MOT & clutch. :lol1: :lol1: Agree is too much there,what i can say,nothing because is not my car... But mostly depends on personal preference and i was using Slowboy Racing from beginning of my Subaru ownership and he help me few times with lots of question and he answer me without the problem. Now about the building engine,if he ask here Rich@FB Tuning or Daz@daz-davis or Frayz about the building/rebuilding engine and i'm sure this guys will help him without the problem and will be cheaper too for him,just my thoughts. Just leave like is it,most important is,He's happy and this most count:thumb: Jura |

Wats ur point? Cars fail for various reasons. In my opinion the majority of subarus fail from people messing about with the cars at home diy repairs, ebay add ons and non mapping. Turbo failure causing a low oil level, melting a piston etc.. So how can you remotely make a comment about someones garage when litterally anything could have happened. |
like i said i dont want to get into any debates or go down that road david but i can assure you the owner did call you.
cheers mickyboy |
legacy sti
formula 1 cars are only intended to last for so long, this was built to be reliable and last a lot longer than 2000 miles, this i can assure you. this car was only ever worked on by api themselves. i said it wasnt from personal experiance |

jef could you just explain what is so pointless about the post
i bought the car in question from somebody who i will not mention on here. the engine let go after 2000 miles david at api was not prepared to help with getting the car sorted atall apart from wanting nearly the same amount of money again to repair it. as i said jef i didnt want to start an arguement about it i was mereley saying what i know mapping done by api engine built by api engine fitted by api all work done by api it doesnt deserve a swift so fcking what as somebody is having some work done by them and spending a small fortune doing so. |

As you now have the engine stripped down? Wat in the end in your opionion has caused the current failure?? |
Another vote for API:thumb: You wont be dissapointed mate:cool:
As for the guy with the broken engine after 2k,was the engine looked after in those 2k or was it just abused? |
So do all you APi fanboys think a rebuild with STi bits costing £3'500 is a good price ?
|
i recently had a forged sti built with mahle pistons, manley rods, arp studs, acl bearings for pretty much 3.5k
