what do people think about this?
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

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.

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?
