hi all i have just purchased an sti on a p reg i got the car very cheap as the engine has a knocking noise and needs repair i have very good mechanical experience and am looking into doing this my self the car came with loads of goodies so as i am on a budget the idea is to sell all the extra stuff to help fund bringing this car back to life and to put it back to its original state anyway enough babbling for now hoping to get the advice i will need here to get this car done

If it is a complete engine rebuild, may i make a suggestion?
Go for the forged 2.1 stroker kit, everyone knows that once they have a scooby, they are going to be wanting more power and speed very soon. Best to get the preperations done now
Plus it's a bloody good engine and can see 500hp with the right turbo
