Its the time vs money thing again - halfords professional tools are fairly priced and come with a like for like guarantee you don't need a huge variety to do the job. Crane hire is circa £50 a week or £10 a day a head gasket is £22 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HEAD-GASKET-FOR-SUBARU-IMPREZA-2-0-1995-2000-1281-/330877329848?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4d09d361b8 or full gasket set to sort the issue on both sides £70 - £90 (cant remember what year yours is) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMPREZA-94-97-LEGACY-91-94-TURBO-EJ20GN-EJ20-2-0-HEAD-GASKET-SET-/130645540238?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3ASubaru|Model%3AImpreza|Cars+Type%3A2.0+Turbo+GT+4WD&hash=item1e6b14bd8e http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMPREZA-TURBO-EJ20-96-00-STEEL-HEAD-GASKET-SET-/130360169098?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3ASubaru|Model%3AImpreza|Cars+Type%3A2.0+Turbo+GT+4WD&hash=item1e5a12528a oil will be £30 some coolant £12 - £25 this will get you started but you have to decide what you want to do with the two cars you currently have. £600 to get one car fit for selling is fine if you are happy with the delta negative against the original purchase cost or you could do something like this and keep the wrx putting it back to standard as you originally posted http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Subaru-impreza-Engine-turbo-WRX-STI-EJ20-/271285540711?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f29e0d767 and then drive it about knowing the engine is sound or put this one in and sell it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/subaru-impreza-wrx-v1-v4-wrx-engine-/261293828402?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cd6536932 just depends what you actually want to end up with

sounds good!

oooh dont know that one -hopefully one of the others will be along shortly with the answer :)

here you go http://shop.edoperformance.co.uk/

result!!

its great even with 245 width tyres on it had no problems earlier this year

well skoda put the cat amongst the pigeons with their diesel hot hatch a couple of years back so great handling with economy why not? :D

does sound like synchro issue and as you have done an oil change with no difference the oil treatments may not sort it out

Wotcha and welcome - a choice piece of machinery that is for certain looking forward to the pics ;)

Wotcha and welcome - do you have any photos you could share? ;)

Wotcha and welcome Dave

I always go from underneath the dash from the foot well

brilliant :D

saw that but would put these on instead and make it a tarmac queen with some naughty rubber ;)

yup I would change the wheels also

Thats good to know!!

it does take some patience that is for sure

:lol: :lol: hefty chortles :lol: :lol:

could be turbo oil seal on way out (most probable) or valve stem oil seals maybe or piston rings possibly. if it becomes constant its most likely turbo

jeez I was up there this morning didn't see that just a load of EVO's

true true

yup my conscience wouldnt allow me to do that <_<

I prefer the silver but there you go :P
