been looking for a blob eye and really like the look of this one, but is it a good thing that it has had an engine rebuild? also seems a little over priced

thanks guys

 

£2k rebuild with a reconditioned crank....Walk away

 

cheers! i was pretty suspicious that they used reconditioned parts, will carry on looking!

 

Re-build at only 62500miles on standard tune. Hmm......I'd want to know why.(maybe turning that boost controller up to 2 bar had something to do with it?) The re-conditioned crank (assume re-grind?) would need a surface hardening process as re-grind removes the very thin hard surface.

Reconditioned is such an abused word, Id say there is a good chance it is all simply second hand parts thrown in. but that is very strong money for an 11 year old wrx.

 

did see a lovely looking wrx which had a lpg conversion with tein coilovers

but still think its a little on the expensive side

 

Re-using a crank is a big no no in the Subaru world. That's why proper rebuilds are so damn expensive. £400 for a new crank the last time I checked.

 

yeah if you pay all that money for a rebuild i dont understand why you wouldn't pay the extra for new parts

another question, how many miles are too many? i know these engines car go on for ever but 100,000 miles always seems alot to me but maybe on one of these it isnt as long as its been looked after properly?
