weeksy

ok so i finally have the dream car back running and sounding lovely sooo please.

Loving the classic V5 sti guys

so tomorrow is the day i finally get my subaru to own properly after 2weeks of stress and cost filled ownership.So excited :-)

Yeah really knowledable bloke knows scoobs inside out.He is busy but if anyones interested in project build work msg me and i may be able to put you in contact with him.

Hes just rang confirmed head gasket failure on cylinder 1.Just taking my heads to be ground.

yeah if it goes ill strip it.so broke

Yeah thought of that but as u said theres no way of telling hisyory of car.

Absolutely No more cash to throw at it...loan to buy car now loan on top to pay to fix car started as a dream ended as a nitemare.

Car only had 91,000 on clock 80,000 in kms so dont know now.

on top of head/possible piston damage ive been warned the bottom end will probably let go in a short while...

Does anyone have a opinion on this?

Starting to wonder if the Scoobies are just a money pit,i was hoping to own my dream car but it seems to be turning into a nitemare.Surely they cant be that fragile can they?

just concerned and hoping theres no head or piston damage once it comes apart.fingers crossed lads.

Help needed ive a V5 sti import and the rear speakers are in deck not doors,so afew things needed info wise.

will the front doors still be 6.5"?

is there a suitable earth point in boot for amp?

how do i remove horrid double din unit from dash board?

Last but not least where is best to feed live through from engine bay too boot for the amp?

Thanks in advance

So gates racing timing belt added to rebuild.

Yeah thanks Gambit hes aman with no morels.Im just very stressed and angry about the whole sorry saga...Im not going to chase him up about any of it now it will end badly other wise and if being a student of traditional Kung Fu for the last 10 years has taught me anything its...yes i can tear him apart but that does nothing for my soul.

Think i may report him to ebay as dishonest seller though.

previous owner told me that he was unaware how id driven the car home and as far as hes concerned i drove it like a ****....

So the fact that he told me the rad was replaced because of a stone chip yet ac rad is fine seems wierd.i drove home at 80mph not pushing car as new to me and wanted to get used to her before giving her the beans.

Angry...withoit a doubt going to pop back to his house and tear him to pieces thought about it but im a nice person and karmas a ****** i hope he gets what he deserves.

And i end up with a strong reliable motor to make my own.I already have a great clib im proud to be apart of.

Thanks

:-( sorry to hear the bad news, have you mailed the seller ? I know it's not an excuse but we're not all bad and i understand why your vexed,

Sound like you have a good mate who will buold you a superb engine all i can say is keep the faith and hopefully good news and things will come

So latest chapter..heads blown on impreza so sold a lemon by someone on here.

Gutted cant believe someone would do that to another human being.

Now ive a car i paid £3300 drove for 1hour and spent money on it to be on the back of a lorry.

Finally made its last trip on the lorry to a chap called Andy Hinamen of AR Racing based 10mins from my flat whos a friend of a friend and known subaru god.Running 500bhp in his own scooby.Straight away told me head blown so he is going to tear her apart and bring her back to life.

Cosworth gaskets arp bolts fueling ecu check and everything in between.also gives a 5,000mile warrenty on all his work.

Now im not putting a figure up as it may well be mates rates but its under £1,300

so in his words she will be future proof when i get her back.

Next friday i hope to be driving her home all going well.

If you need a scooby specialist who knows them.inside out i can direct you his way.

More to follow im sure.

Really appricate your positive thoughts and comments i suppose today ill know what happens next in the ongoing saga.

Fingers crossed for me guys relly need abit of good luck.

thats cool not wanting too mod it at all...just strap it in and go...what bhp is it putting out.

At mo hoping mines ok if not defo a option matey

Liking the thought of that fella...think it could just be the thermostat?

Or do you fancy a stab in the dark at whats next?

yeah got that would engine match import 5speed sti box?

box price is too mich for me

my bad ill look again.thanks

gotta be honest im no further along just yet...could still be serious head/block issue.

Was hoping to have a answer tonight but suppose all i can do is wait.Pain having to pay even more cash out on a car i cant drive.

Heyho tomorrows another day.

Saga continues ill add nxt installment tomorrow.

how much for engine and gear box?if my heads cracked may need one.

Mileage and condition?

thanks

so impreza passed sniff test....mechanic has warned me hes seen this before and head still cracked or block.

So he drained fliud removed thermostat and tested it....thermostat not working so fingers crossed.Awaiting a fone call tomoz

my impreza wrx sti has rear deck.mounted speaker not in rear doors?thought V4's had them in doors front/rear?

is there a possibility its head gasket causing too much pressure forcing colent out via bottom hose?

no oil water mix coolent looks fine.

so bled system...loads of air came out fan kicked in popped cap on went for little drive off boost....steam pouring from bonnet vents when i slowed nursed her home leaking from botton rad hose which is done up tight?temp srnsor was spot on never rose
