I used my car for the first time last month since oct and after going Germany last years I thought I'd get a major service and a few odd jobs done why its there as i did a masive 2k that yr. When i went for a run it didn't feel right but nothing bad just a bit slower I thought and I made a funny stutter at one point.
He phoned me once he started saying i have bad oil leaks on the gear box in 3 places and around the bottom of the engine which turn out to be the sump... so I said may aswell put a baffled one on then. Then today he called me again to say he taken the sump off and there is a fair amount of bearing and shrapnel in it..... so I now need an rebuild ![]() So my cars now dead and and looks like its going nowhere this year apart from the 25miles iv done.... ill get all the details tomorrow when I go pick it up as I can't do it just yet so I'm going to save my penny's and go forged and look at getting big power out of it now. |

drop a used newage sti engine it and run it at 400+ hp will last and 400 in a classic is silly fast! (it will save you masses on a forged build you can spend on suspension and another nice bits

That would be my advice too - especially if you can get hold of a JDM low mileage lump from an importer/breaker
