Well that's the engine in bits, think I was a bit lucky Loads of questions to follow shortly

No only 2L But on the upside I now know how to dismantle a subaru engine

Had hour in the cave and found this

Most vinyl has either a 4 or 7 year warranty depending on supplier and quality the biggest problem with it is if you use the really cheap stuff the adhesive isn't very good and it can start to lift

What's so bad about honda's I was thinking about parting with the r1 and getting a fireblade

Was going to drop a second hand engine in as a quick fix so bought an engine gear box and wiring loom that someone had for beatle conversion but on more reading it think it's a phase 1.5 and mines a phase 2 so it parked up for a few months with no engine but I may have some parts for sale

It's had some work done before I got it so I thought it would be a safe bet. Head gaskets, water pump, timing belt kit, new turbo, fmic, fuel reg lightened flywheel it starts and runs and boosts but breaths a bit I wasn't happy with it so called in at Sheffield for a power run to find out turbo control not piped up so that's sorted and it's run 230 ish I think it made so I did a compression test and found out why it was breathing. To bring a long story to an end I was running a 3 cylinder imperza... oops time for rebuild

Hello new to the forum and subaru so thought I'd start by saying hi to everyone. It was a bit of an impulse buy and I'm now learning how a flat 4 is dismantled but is all good fun :)
