Welcome, whats your plans for it?

chuck your reg into eurocarparts and see what it kicks out.

Short version, yep, will need a full rebuild. Copper fillings in the oil very highly likley means the crank bearings are damaged (could have ring land issues, but untill its stripped you wont know. although ring land failure is common so would be no surprise) As far as what you do its up to you really, a proper reabuild wont be cheap if done properly, If the shell is solid and you plan on keeping the car long term may be worth the cost. Rolling shell of a wrx isnt worth much, maybe 1-2k at best, it's doubtful the cost of a rebuild will increase the value of the car to make it cost effective to rebuild then sell.

tbh i'd just look for a reputable local car transporter.

Never heard of needing to do it, i've always just disconect, replace, reconnected opn all the cars i;ve owned :S

i inititaly had pedders on my hawk, had nothing but issues with them so in the end got rid of them and had tein flex z fitted, can't fault them tbh, firm but not crashy and a big step up on the stock and pedders.

Very common thing on them, replace is only real option, give a few breakers a call and see if they have a decent one

Welcome, get some pics up :d Afraid I can't help with whos down that way

welcome 😄

Take it back to where ver you had the clutch fitted and get them to sort it.

nice, get some pics up 😄

Have to say im not sure what alarm is fitted to the newer ones. It used to have a number panel you could bind keys and such to.

If you look at the pics on that thread, the last pic, round vertical can attached to the bulkhead. Only hicup is i doubt it will fit with the standard top mount intercooler. Does yours have the secondary air system? where the pump sits could be a possible place if not. Get some pics up of yours by the wsay 🙂

yeah 56 plate,

The wife's has a perrin A/O seperator. not sure if its a difrect fit though.

Sounds like an electricasl fault, not sure what a engine cleaner is gonna do :S need to find a specialist really.

has the car been mapped for uk fuel? could be the cold weather is causing the issues.

sounds like power steering belt to me, so see how you get on after that

Welcome, get some pics up 🙂 any plans for modding?

Basicly supply and demand, not many GX's are still on the road, or ever were in truth. Its a different shape to a turbo fitment which were much more common. Also cats arnt cheap in general either, your looking best part of £500 for one for any car. One option is to just decat it, as long as you can find a friendly mot place that will pass the emissions test for you 😉

Oil cooler would be a very good idea as on track temps will get very high, also worth a set of decent gauges to keep an eye on temps/oil pressure etc

I've been a draughty for past 20 years so i'm sure some of the stuff you've seen like me has been horendus, that actualy looks pretty good. Noice, might be worth insulating it then, some insulating panels would do the job well even with single skin.

Noice, getting there then mate, are you planning on putting power in it?

I've use scoobyclinic up at chesterfield for about 25 years now 🙂

Try import car parts, should be able to supply oem springs, other option is a set of lowering springs.
