what turbo are you running, as a TD04 wont last long under a recirc if your running more than standard boost.

Avoid scooby clinic, they ruined my Engine, speak to Martin at Scooby Services, hes in the process of rebuilding mine at the moment :)

i think its 500 or 1000 :(

I cannot wait too get it back with no boost, still faster than the Mrs's 206 mind ;)

haha atleast thats not too bad

im afraid its alot of hassel, when you say its failed ? how has it failed.

Martin has said no need to bother with mahle for this spec and instead get them out of a newage STI as there stronger anyways, already had yellows in which was a bonus :) i want to steer away from front mount hence the STI TMIC as i want a sort of sleeper ish car :)

Its at martins, so tea and coffee but bring biscuits ;)

Maybe it was the kick up the !Removed! ive been needing haha.

Haha Diz, suppose ill need to change my sig to something more funny now :) More good news the heads ive bought off ebay are STI items with upgraded Cams :P all in shiny new status. Td05 was a steal as well at just £70, the Engine guru popped round to take a look and says it doesnt look like the crank is damaged and that a +1 boring should fix the scuff from the pistons, and now its just a case of decided the pistons to put in it for the power. With current spec it is now it should come out with 320-340 once remapped which i think is more than enough :) Watch this space.

Hi :) im after a newage cooler aslong as its not too hard to fit:) And its been built by martin as it turns out im running a close deck block. Gambit ill own a house and 3 Ferraris by then haha.

Ok guys 27th is a no go, its now definately on the 3rd of February, see you guys there :)

I tried to re jig them as there where exceptionally dark. Ill dig them out again as there on the comp. however i have a guy with a reyt ( Yorkshire) good camera coming this time.

Project has took a big boost :) parts and pics on the way. Heads sourced ;) Turbo sourced. Spec list to follow

Parts now sourced please close

Haha its about time ;)

Potentially Monday the 27th ?

looks like its had a hard life that subaru if im honest, there is better ones out there.

Good question, as its a close deck block ive gone ahead and had it split, just awaiting martins verdict. its was put togther with some form of sealant and had no gaskets whats so ever. Rs is waiting to be welded, was getting done this month :( so thats now on hold. i just need V5 heads and a few other parts as he has used wrong bolts and stripped the threads on the heads. Bores arnt too bad one is pitted so going for a +1 on all 4. Grade on engine is B yet he has put two A pistons in the car. Here are some pictures of the block itself. didnt bother with the heads as there a complete rightoff. As such i need x2 Heads off a V5 TD05 ( two good condition TD04's For sale) STI intercooler. and a few other parts.

As title suggests. Needs to include cams and covers and all parts cheers.

im going for 340, I may be able to salvage a few things off my existing one as its the rare close deck block, and all ones near me are 500+ :(

Yeah, the guy showed the pictures of the engine as well, ah well **** happens I guess.

a little trick, if its armed turn the key to full ignition and press unlock, doesn't set the alarm of and turns the alarm off and ignition on.

Well I took the dreaded call off Martin at Scooby services today, and its not great. The car originally went in last week for the usual rocker cover gaskets replacing as it was weeping, but upon inspecting this we realised that there was a few nasty's, The pulleys were on at an angle and it was weeping from cam seals and head. Martin gave me the dreaded look and I knew it was going to be bad here on in, I gave him the go ahead to open the engine and find out what else is damaged. Well here goes, x2 pistons are out of the wrong Subaru x2 Exhaust valves are damaged Cams are ground down due to wrong bolts been used crank is damaged piston rings are damaged one head needs replacing as its wrong. Exhaust full of holes. list really does go on, im mad at the previous owner for thinking he could just pass it on to me and for this I really hope karma bites him back. I'm going up on Saturday to inspect the damaged and at the moment just feel like breaking the whole car and having done with it and ive lost full interest, however Martin tells me its a great shell with lots of potential and then I go around in a loop looking for Engines out of an STI lol. Guess its something to sleep on, either way I wont have my car to drive to the shows but it will be in the garage already haha.

ps3 with all games £180 as need cash to fix the Scooby.
