It's more than I can afford, and by the time I get the engine out I might as well do the work myself, machine work aside. Good news is that it passed mot yesterday with no advisories!

Hi all, cheers for the infos, I reached api, they say : A rebuild of your unit is going to cost £1800.00 + VAT [ £2160.00 inc ] as an engine only rather than a car. The build includes: Crank Competition bearings Modded oil pump Rebore & New pistons - oversize Heads rebuilt STi Gaskets and seals Cam belt All parts chemically cleaned.

That's true, I thought it was odd that so many 15 year old cars have such low mileage. What pays do I replace though? New pistons or new rings and bearings? Cheers all

Can anyone recommend a decent jap breaker firm to get a low mileage engine from?

Great info cheers, I'll look into it thanks mrB

Hi all, I've owned my forester for about 4 months now and its good, i love it but there's a bit of piston slap on start up until it gets warm. It's done it since I owned it and hasn't really got any worse, I change the oil every 5/6k but I want to rebuild it for reliability or buy a new motor. same spec, with no mods or upgrades as im happy with the power/economy. its an EJ20G. Anyone know if this firm is ok to buy an engine from? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-Impreza-JDM-WRX-STI-EJ20-207-Forged-Pistons-Rally-Stage-Upgrade-Pro-Set-/380934443151?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item58b176508f

Cheers man, is a bit lower on the back than front..

About 6 meters of old fence

Mine with a load of stuff in the back

Yeah that's what I thought, they seemed to have the best description of what each car needs rather than generic pictures and prices

What's the opinion on pedders?

From yours

I don't know about these engines much, are mine and stants much different?

Ej20g mate ?

How many miles is yours on rick?

Looks rough as f! No wonder there's a knock

Wait, I was supposed to put it in the suspension section wasn't I?

These are the best pics I could get, I didn't have time but I'll jet wash the underside and get some more, not sure when as I'm busy as ten beavers at the mo but the measurements are from center of wheel arch to floor as you face the side of the car. Rear is 24 inches and front is higher at 25.5".

Will do, got some running about to do then I'll do the biz

I was supposed to get pics of my suspension for someone on here. Can't remember

We've got the same car from Japan with the same mileage and the same knocking noise. Did we just become best friends?

aahh cool ok. Stant have you seen step brothers with will ferell and John c reilly?
