Surely that should read "needs to fit a sharkeye / hatch" ?? :lol: Give forge a ring http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/Dump_Valve_for_Subaru_Impreza_MY_2001_Onwards_Including_the_2009_GR_STi--product--794.html

There was an engine on here recently for 1500 - with some serious potential - ok it is possibly an unknown but still less than 3k and you would be starting again with cdb and forged parts. Slap also is not necessarily a bad thing a lot of tuned engines have slap until they are up to temp - my lads 85cc 2T crosser has slap until it is warmed up. Bottom line - do you fancy a change?

lovely flat torque lines those no dips or flat spots

Awesome!!

look at power to weight ratio as well as BHP - what can you change to make your car lighter?

All the hard work done - easy miles from now on ;)

ahh a combination of issues - always harder to find but nice to hear it is all sorted now :)

Great to hear!!

also gutted these have not gone to a good home :(

very very nice - if only :)

Not a fan of the car you would be going to just didnt enjoy it at all - as a second car option I wouldn't bother just have your work runaround and run the single car. hammer the phone / insurance companies for a lower quote, 1200 there must be some wiggle room

dropping the engine in is just the start, going around corners and stopping is another story. there are chassis differences between the WRX and STi Hatchs and the relative bhp / weight ratios are small compared to what you are proposing. go for a wrx or Sti - they are designed and built for the more powerful engine

Not at all, you young thruster you :)

Thats it - if its not in glorious technicolour it hasnt happened :D

dont know about the saying but I feel very old all of a sudden :D

subtle mod - like it :)

some productive OT ;)

Great thread will be following this one - I hope the sum of all those great parts meets your expectations - you are going to have a really nice setup there :)

You have a monster system in the boot :D

As Gambit said should be fine - drive sedately for a bit and top up with 99 again

Having trouble viewing it -- every time I open it my laptop freezes - will try a bit later when its not quite so obvious I am constantly rebooting my laptop in the middle of meetings I am supposed to be taking more than a passing interest in :o)

Yup the hatch has it in the doors for certain so I imagine it would also be behind the boot panels

You have a recirc dump valve as standard - if you do go aftermarket ensure its a recirc, not a vent to atmosphere (VTA) and there should be no issues

A cracking example and very fair price, someone will get a real bargain
