Nrodgers91 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hello to all subaru oc members my name is nick. I'm from the fife area In Scotland thought I would say hello to everyone. I have bought my first ever subaru n it is a 2005 2.0l impreza gx blobeye she ain't fast but she has very little miles on her and I only bought as I wanted a subaru and love the shape of the blobeye I will post up some pics of her. Plan on eventually either keeping Shell and swapping engine for a faster one or buying a wrx sti not to sure yet but suggestions are welcome and once again HELLO TO ALL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hello mate welcome to S.O.C :) unless you're going to buy another STI to just about swap all of it over I wouldn't really do the transplant with engines be better off just buying one that is good to go. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrodgers91 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 Thanks 4758nigel n yeah so ave been told gambit but my mate done a engine swap with same car as mine but he put the twin turbo legacy engine in it with bigger turbos not sure what the bhp of it was but it was a monster of a car but then again he did have a lot of problems with it lol Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skiv Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Sure would I know there's a car meet in Glenrothes on the 17th not sure if il be able to attend as I have the reserves that night but they regularly have meets and I'm sure there's a few subarus so we could attend one and arrange with they guys if they are up for it?

Nrodgers91 Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 I might be struggling to attend that one my self man due to work. a weekend meet would be better for me to attend but if u hear of any others let me know and I will see if I can make it along and get some fellow subaru drivers on board [emoji16] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skiv Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Yea weekends are a lot easier, if I manage to make it il have a word with a few of them see what we could arrange :D would be good to see others subarus from around the area :D Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoozyDave Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Hi mate Welcome to the club Don't bother with an engine swap, yes, you will get more bhp, but what about brakes, suspension, arb's, gearbox? If you buy a wrx, it will only cost £1k in mod's to get 340bhp. Or if you want more bhp go for the sti. A remap and exhaust will see 340bhp, or swap turbo, injectors and remap and 450bhp is quite easily achieved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
