To all the Boys and Girls in Wales, thought you might be intrested in my little story so Ive posted in this section as well!!

Anyone ever come around Bala that wants to PLAY?????

After buying a WRX STi5 in June 01 and having an engine blow within 24 hrs I managed to get the
dealer to have the motor rebuilt at his expence. 12 weeks later it came back. 1000 miles later it
went again, a big f--- off hole in the same piston.

Then I found Stuart at TOWN END GARAGE, 01524 733837, specialists in rally preperation of
Scoobys. These boys realy know there stuff and dont give you any bull, Oh ye, the prices are
sensible too. So we went to town on the motor a bit, New Blocks, Cosworth Pistons, Arrow Rods,
Up the compression to 8.5 to 1, light flywheel, Uprated padel comp clutch, Up the boost to 1.4 bar,
Induction kit, HKS exhaust decat of course. Then the best bit Gemms Motorsport Rally spec ECU
including ANTI-LAG, wicked flames between gears you need those, Then water injection, uprated
MRT anti roll bars, and castor blocks for the geometry.

Basically its doing around 360bhp up from 280bhp, and the torque is up from 250ish to 340ftlbs.

Its now completed 6000 miles in the last 6 weeks, I live in the very rural hills of north wales and
this poor car get hammered every time I start it. It hasnt missed a beat. I get around 90 - 120 miles
on a full tank, but I only drive it like a nutter around the lanes of a night, its like your own closed
stage up here with the sheep, but on a run it will do around 27-28 mpg thanks to the Gemms, Ive
even got a dash switch which allows me to flick to a 2nd MAP on the ECU, this allows me to use
95 ron unleaded, you loose some power but at least you can still play if you cant get SUPER.

All I can say is if you're having probs with a Subaru then dont even bother phoning any 1 else. I
spent a lot of time and money with other people who just B.S.! Stuart and Steve are top bloke doing
a first class job at a very sensible price. Go spend your pocket money with them, you'll smile for
months to come. Forget the rest!!!!!!!

They can even fix it if you smash it!!
