the engine has been rebuilt about 5000 miles ago with high compression pistons etc
Maybe someone forgot to put it all back in :P

Exclamation

Not wishing to be funny but, https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...st-bought.html

You brought it without any history or receipts for what had been done to it, well i did ask and not reply on that thread.

You also stated on the thread that you had had a lot of Subarus as well, turbo blown or going is one of the things i would have looked for if i was buying the car, even with my limited experience

You stated that you put £ 100.00 of fuel in it in two days, not exactly been taking it easy or maybe a two-day touring holiday.

Now, i have only pointed out Your points from your posts about the car, not looking for a row about it.

Must be one of the shortest ownership experiences in SN history...

I hope that you have priced it to sell, good luck
