heard bad things about them from a friend in the trade, sell ropey second hand parts. here is a customer review on the net ...

Avoid at all cost!

A complete waste of my time. Unprofessional, rude and lazy. Sent me an exhaust that didn't fit so was offered partial refund. Two failed courier pickups later (wasting a day and a half of my time) I've had to phone them repeatedly to find out whats going on. Bunch of sad numpties who just take the p**s.

good luck..

Why, why, why

People already advised not to buy second hand, rebuild is the best option or you will be buying twice so well out of pocket.
A rebuild is the only real way of knowing your getting a decent engine, but only through people who know what they are doing.
Old saying, do it once, do it right!

Also, asking after you have spunked more than a bag of sand on a used wrx engine? Can't close the gate once the horse has bolted, as they say.
