As above, shouldn't do

Problem may well be the map is wrong, a fault like that would have been present way before it was mapped. Mapper should have spotted it straight away and stopped mapping it.

As said above, damage looks pretty bad on that and i'd be surprised if its salvageable without relining, which is doable but expensive. you may find it's cheaper to get a new block anyway. (by new i mean new to you so second hand).

clarkys will be dung khan and wouldn't trust him to map me toaster. not sure who zen use for mapping now, it's not paul any more.

been very impressed with them everytime i've used them. Order some oil from them but they didnt have enough in stock, replaced it with a higher price branded one at no extra cost. can;t fault them

gates are good so be fine with that.

wow, rare you get a thread where all agree on where to go hahahahaha

belt yes, tensioner does eventually leak so a good idea. pulleys only really if the bearings in them are going water pump no need avoid cheap copys, if one of them fails highly probable that's your engine gone with it will need mapping for those mods

Second above, ET is def the place to go down that way

If it arraives and its not as described you can just claim your money back anyway so worth a punt.

tbh the impreza brakes aren't that good either.

:(, t minus 3 weeks and counting,,,,,

Get it to a specialist and let them have a look, could carry on chasing it round the engine bay and still not find it.

Wait till next april and the tax drops to £140 a year ;)

Not on the dvla tax check so may well be dead

my dads did a bit, they put this !Removed! protection gunk all over the engine and that tends to smell a bit, but as you say depends on what it pongs of

If your getting a new new car they always tend to smell a bit while they bed in.

Ah explains it then. They'll sort you out i'm sure :)

R160 i expect. R180 was on R and RA.

Each to their own chap, some people like em some don't :)

very nice car, i'm the opposite to sandals on the spoiler side of things, looks bare without one.

Should be able to ring them now to get a quote and see where you stand, they should be able to price it based on it being forrester sti

best bet matey, it's not that rare in the UK now. You'll need to sort the details with DVLA, which may be PITA, but worth doing so no issues down the line

hmm, very strange. Engine tuner are a very highly regarded tuner down in plymouth. http://www.enginetuner.co.uk/home.htm

If i can get my head round it i don't mind keeping an eye on it
