over the moon! Please read
in march i purchased my beloved classic STI. Im cutting a long story short here, but i threw a piston whilst driving it home n was gutted. I purchased a recon engine off 'ideal engines' which soon blew the head gaskets, i claimed on warranty got another engine, which, yep you guessed it, blew the heads again. Anyway 5 months of greif and unbelievable stress, today i have recieved the money i paid for the engine plus fitting twice. Im extatic! Please do not fall for same company i did. (IDEAL ENGINES) They ripped off the wrong person this time.

This story is not uncommon, quite a few have bought their Imprezas only to blow the engine shortly after buying.
Good on you though for getting the costs back
