Please Help
 

Hi
I have a uk300 and seems bottom end has failed, want to have a rebuild, I have looked and looked for someone to rebuild my engine and every time I think I may have a good place to do I get warned off due to bad feed back.
It's a 2001 bugeye
I have budget of 2.5k ish
Just want rebuilt so I can use it, happy with power so not really looking to upgrade any parts

Any help would be greatfully received

Thanks

Whereabouts in Kent are you?

How willing are you to travel?

Hi
Near Maidstone, will have to have car on recovery truck so don't mind a little distance, more important me car in good hands
Thanks

If you're happy with the power you have Id drop another oe in

Chris take it to big Richard at East Kent Subaru in upstreet he will sort you out top bloke .

are you able to take it out yourself?

No I can just about open the bonnet, sorry

have a forum meet at yours one day for an engine fitting session - must be plenty people on here who have the knowledge and a good way to meet everyone and learn some stuff about your cars - many hands makes light work and all that :-)

Lol that would be a great way but alas I have no knowledge of Subaru engines
Can carry out any building work in return :twisted:

Build me a house so I can move back down :whistle:

How about Slowboy Racing? But as CJ says just drop a new lump in from a reputable breakers, should even be able to drop a stronger STI lump in.

Rebuilds aren't cheap as you should look at replacing sump,modine plus damaged parts plus head studs gaskets etc.

Thanks all
 

Hi
Decided on a full rebuild with forged parts, thanks for all the advice, just could not believe no one in South East would do, having to send it 300 miles away, be worth it when I get it back, tryed slow boys for over a week with no reply

There are plenty in the South East.

Dan at Surrey Subaru Specialists, for example. He's in Camberley, so fifty miles or so from you.

He's worked on my FSTi and my wife's WRX for about for years now. Not had an engine rebuild, but that's where I'd go if I needed one.

Let me know of you want more details.

not for 2.5k i hope????

No,with sti bottom end looking at 4k+ with the vat, thanks everyone for help,hope to get to a meet once car is back
