Take a hammer to your mates face, then relieve him of the 2K to replace engine.

SORTED.

mitman2501

Im sure you can get a better price mate look around where you from ? and yes Take a hammer to your mates face what a **** !

chief-long-shin

You live in Jordan...... I would go with Matty's idea, maybe shove the EVC right up his **** as a warning not to muck about with things you shouldnt to other idiots and them bury him in the desert.

You could alternatively talk nicely to him, explain that it costs about $2000 to be a *** in your car and he should pay up.

Has the car been looked at by someone who knows what's what ?

mitman2501

Dont give up so easy mate

It's probably worth looking outside Jordan to see if you can find a cheaper replacement engine but obviously you've have to take shipping and import duty into account.

DEARS MattyB1983 , mitman2501 , chief-long-shin , Ryan@Indigo-GT and 555danny,

Thank you very much for trying to make me cheer up and feel better,,,,,
i was just lookin at her standing in front of the door ,,,with this dead engine,,,,
i dont know if i can afford another one,,,, i started working 1 month ago and i took a loan from the Bank for five years to buy this car,,,,
and i only take 500$ per month and 300$ out of the 500$ are gone every month for the Payments of the car,,,,
anyways,,,,,,i felt better after opening my heart and telling you wat i've been through,,,

thank you guys so much for your time and for your replies,,,i really felt better after i read them,,,
yes im in jordan and,,,,,,i dont know if it is better for me to sell the car as is, without changing the engine or buy an engine FROM MY OWN MONEY and try my luck again...
coz i heard that it is so hard to find a used STI engine which is so clean and low mileage and doesnt have any problem!!! i think it is almost impossible to find a used STI engine like this :S

Thanks again my friends ,,,,i really appreciate your replies

My wrx is 1.45 bar I thought that was a normal figure for a mapped car?

Yeah but your fueling/timing will have been altered in your remap to suit.

I'm guessing the OP's EVC was set to run safely at something like 1.1-1.3bar.... And his 'friend' unwittingly thought it'd be a good idea to whack the boost up (without letting OP know). What a fvcker!

That'll be the same "friend" I have that always does stupid stuff without me knowing so I mess up.

joz8968

iTrader: (13)

Yeah, I was 'nervous' running the PFC's Commander on my previous WRX - ergo, worrying about people fiddling about on it and ****ing up the map's settings, etc.

...But then it dawned on me................ I have no friends!

Hamzeh

hehe,,,,,WELL...... THATS BETTER FOR YOU I GUESS :P

Hamzeh, I don't think it's unreasonable to politely ask your 'friend' if he/she stumps up 33-50% of the bill (if you get it repaired). But I'm sure I can guess at his/her response.

In theory, he/she should pay the whole blooming lot AFAIC!!!

Hamzeh

hehe yeah, you are right, i guess im ganna try to do so,

he is my dad's friend btw,,,
plus he is my dad's cousin,,,
so he is a friend and a family member and he is 44 years old,,,,im 22,,,
so,,,,,,,

yes,,,,, i hope he would share the costs with me :/

joz8968

iTrader: (13)

I suppose it makes it that bit easier, with him being friend/family...?

Hamzeh

im ganna let you knw the updates about this issue,,,,
i have to go and count every cent i have in my closet :/ ,,,,,and go out and search for a good,,,,clean,,, low mileage STI engine,,,,,,,,,and
will c wat will happen after that :S

Lesson to be learned.. Dont buy a car you cant afford. Sorry to be blunt but if you only earn $500 and $300 goes on car payments your mad!

tubbytommy

iTrader: (20)

i own mine outright and still cant afford it lol.

agreed though fuel must be cheap if you only have 200 left

Hamzeh

well,,,,yeah i knw I AM CRAZY ABOUT THIS CAR,,,,
all my family were against me when i wanted to buy this car,,,,
but its my dream car since i was studying,,,,,i mean i wanted this car soooo badly

,,,and no,,,,the fuel is not that cheep here
the price of the litter here is about 1.10 $
hehe i knw im crazy coz i calculated everything and figured out that at my salary
i am able to drive the car about 600 km per month ((at the current salary))

and my salary should be raised in 3 months,,,,(according to my performance)

so i started to do the impossible at my work to be able to go more with my Subaru...

haha....I THINK THIS IS TRUE LOVE <3 .... . . .. AINT IT?
....

BUT...........****......I FORGOT ABOUT MY F**KIN BAD LUCK :/

L&G.scooby

I for one wish you all the luck in the world and really hope you can work something out to keep the car. Best of luck for you pay rise to buddy.

Hamzeh

thanks my friend, i really appreciate it and i really need your prayers

I really feel for you fella. Many young lads dream of owning an Impreza and sometimes the only way to do it is with a loan. I will say you are crazy though considering over half your wages are gone on just the repayment. I'm guessing you still live at home so at least there is no rent or mortgage to worry about.
I really wish you all the luck in the world and hope you can come to some sort of arrangement with your dads friend. Even if he stumped up $500 towards it hey.
Good luck fella,
Matt.

What exactly is wrong with the engine, it may not be compleatly knackered.

I took mine out myself and had a look, one bearing gone, found all the parts i needed for £330.00 and i will be putting it back together next week.

Don't be too quick to write the engine off, far too many people are persuaded into a major rebuild when it's not as terminal as those with a vested interest would have you believe.

All well and good spending 4/5k on an engine rebuild if you can afford it, but there are much cheaper options that don't involve having your wallet raped by a"pro".
