I read your earlier post. Sorry to hear it! Something tells me you are not the first person to have an engine let go after a decat. Sure I have read a couple of other posts approx. a year ago with the same situation.

Scooby ownership sucks some times! Look on teh bright side though... for little more than a 2.0 you can now get a 2.5 bottom end!

Ouch. Sorry to hear mate.

I've just paid thousands getting my old girl back on the road from some crank leading to big end failure "issues" (and it still isn't 100% yet!!), so i can feel your pain.

It's times like these thag test our commitment to the Subaru badge

Hope it all goes well,

Kel

Looks like the clinic did a good job of nobbling your motor on my behalf, that'll teach ya to post horrible facts about me in muppets


I seem to remember someone saying something about not being bothered with a 2.5 but it was Wednesday, and we'd both had a few, so I could be wrong

Sorry to hear about the bottm end, but every cloud has a silver bottom end, etc.

Just make sure you get there on Sunday, who else's gonna drink all the beer?

Gotta be the bike, I'm not walking all that way.

(PLEASE don't offer a lift in the back of the Tatey, you'd arrive to find all the beer and food gone )

At least if we gave you a lift we might stand a chance with the beer.

Not quite upside down but you've got the picture,it was more like drop off an slide his face down the wall. Should i take it that it happens often then. but then again 6 or more pints could add to his very unsteady wobbley bob state of mind.

Stacked it three times on a 25 mile ride last night.

Once was the (all too) regular SPuD event, which is rapidly becoming known as 'doing a Sticky'
The other two were 20mph plus full on b*****d painful 'front wheel in a rut' efforts, the first of which resulted in a short game of 'Find Sticky in the gorse bush'

I'm still pulling thorns out of my ar(m)se

Suddenly, the thought of becoming an out and out Stiffback looks rather attractive :
