recomendations for any mods you sugest, remembering my £500 ish buget. thinks For piece of mind I gave the car a full service including cam belt. This is what my break down was for all the parts: Spark Plugs - NGK PFR7B Platinum Spark Plugs @ £37.20 - Camskill.co.uk Engine Oil - Millers CFS 10w-50 Competition Full Synthetic Engine Oil - 5 litres @ £45.36 - Opie Oils Gearbox Oil - Millers CRX LS 75w-90 NT Competition Full Synthetic Transmission Oil - 5 litres @ £74.25 - Opie Oils Diff Oil - Fuchs Titan Race SYN 5 75w-90 Fully Synthetic Gear Oil - 1 lire @ £11.38 - Opie Oils Air Filter - Green Performance Panel Filter @ £44.78 - Scoobyparts Ltd Cam belt - Gates Cam Timming Bet Kit @ £229 - Import Car Parts Fuel Filter @ £6.90 - Import Car Parts Oil filter & sump washer -Blueprint Oil Filter @ £4.50 - Import Car Parts Total approx: £226.66 (including the cam kit) Maybe go for a full alignment too? At least this way you have a good base to start from and piece of mind that both the handling and the engine is running good. |

Was in a similar situation not too long ago.

While the cambelt is being changed it would be a good idea to have a A.p.i modified oil pump fitted for peace of mind as over time the original pump becomes less reliable.

Anti Lift kit and alignment all done. :-).

if you have ppp the fuel pump should already be uprated, but as morpheus has said i would change all the servicable items i.e. oil and filters first for piece of mind and to make sure its running correctly.
but at the risk of starting a what engine oil thread i think 10w 50 is a little thick for sti and saps power slightly. i use 5 w 40 fully synth |
Speak to David @ A.p.i engines about their modified oil pumps, they offer a exchange service where the new pump will only cost you £130ish.

Oil pump & water pump replacement appears to be overkill to me on a £500 budget.
Does this model in particular or Subarus in general have problems in this area? I have not seen much about them failing on this forum. |
