What model/engine and what is your real average mpg folks? pondering on replacing the volvo with one in 12 months time but being daily and company paying for fuel i need to hit a certain MPG (50), whuch i realise they wont do, but i dont mind putting the odd tank in

http://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/BrakeKitsProdFront.aspx?itemno=140-12874 $1700 + shipping + import tax + vat + profit which at a rough guess £1146.59 + £50 + £250 + shipping + dealer profit is gonna put them way up there in the £2000 area, Ap's work out cheaper not sure how comparable they are though.
-
importing them from the US tends to make em very pricey iirc
-
No there different, they look similar, Ksport piston seals, D2 pistons/dust seals
-
Hahaha, already run one engine in so I know the pain, tbh im leaning towards riad trip, lol
-
Headgasket on a scoob is always full rebuild, you found out why ;)
-
Used to have crap or none existsant dust seals, d2 seem to get better reviews. For me though godspeeds offer thats on for 6 pot aps for £1250 would be the route to go if I was upgrading, not as cheap as the d2's but ap's are the muts nuts when it comes to brakes.

Tidgy replied to Xander's topic in Subaru Engines, Exhausts and modifications
Subaru will wash their hands of it, they stated in 2010 that it was the owners fault for tuning, driving them to hard, not servicing them properly etc etc total bollox but saved em millions in remedial work. 2.5 out the box is !Removed!, very common for pistons break the ring lands , head gaskets to fail etc. If it's gone to API they should be well aware of the issues and put none subaru pistons, gasket and head studs in then no more issues down the line with it :) -
Had major issues with battery's on my old classic due to being parked up, 2 batteries in 3 years died, then got ctek battery conditioner and never had any more issues with starting or batteries dying.
