Little while since I posted on here, not that I was a serial poster but just been enjoying my subaru wrx sti. That was until last week on way home from work a loud knocking noise started form engine area.got home in one piece but noise was pretty loud, cut a long story short sent it to a mate on back of a truck hes had a look at it basically looks like bottom end has gone or is going and he didnt want to strip it down to much. So my question is what are my options if it Is bottom end as I have limited money at moment ? Realy apreicate some help from you guys as im not sure what to do. Thanks in advance mike.

 

unless you are doing the work yourself the cheapest option is a second hand engine, just swap as little as you can over. Or I guess if funds were really tight you could use a WRX short engine; better that nothing - mine is still going strong at over 140k mls and 360+

 

unlucky for me I aint got the time or money to get it fixed. also I need a car asap to get to work. need to find a garage to px it against something I think or possibly try pistonheads etc

 

Year and model might help.

 

haha yeah of course head is all over the place could do without this at the minute. its a 2003 wrx sti prodrive 80,000 miles really don't want it going to breakers still think its got a lot of life left in it for someone.
