If its any conciliation im kinda int eh same boat, my daily volvo went bang so now tryign to decide on a replacement. couple of hawk wrx's etates are available and im pondering on the 2.5 issues or leave it be
-
roughly 4.5k for a proper rebuild assuming no damage. You could possibly get a hawk wrx estate forged, bigger turbo, suspension and brakes for that sort of money and it will be pretty bullet proof. But your gonna be at the top end of your budget. or you could take the chance on the engine. Blob WRX would be cheaper option, engine will be fine at 300-350 http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/subaru/impreza-wrx/subaru-impreza-wrx/7049555

really depends on budget and if your 100% on needing a hatch/estate?
-
You could take into account an engine refresh cost in the buying price? but tbh you'll find the audi or vw boring as sin. i went from a hawk wrx (although tuned to 400) to an e46 and it was seriously dull, really nice car but just dull by comparison

Ring land failure, head gasket failure. Not alot you can do, headgasket failure can be check with a snif test but will only tell you it has or hasnt failed and doesnt mean it wont fail 2 miles down the road. Only real fix is rebuild the engine. tis ashame cos built right they are a cracking road engine
-
nope, even the current brand new ones are an issue.

the 2.5 is a dog, pure pot luck whether it self destructs or not.

already got my private plate thanks ;)

Hawk box will be fine. I ran one at 400/420 for 18 months no bother. They are about the strongest 5 speed you can get. I'm or sure if the hatch uses the same box or not.

Gonna have to bail on this. Dvsa and dvla can't seem to communicate to sort out a system problem so Scooby isn't taxed. -
TBH just get it done by subaru. yes you can get it done else where as long as its a proper garage, check the warranty t's and c's though, usualy somethign in it about has to be serviced at a vat registered garage or summit like that
