    Brakes!!!!!

    Im looking at £1400 for the full kit. Thanks for the link to PCD Parts ive saved it, and if I have any money left over getting the rest of the parts for this engine, I think this is the way to go.

    Brakes!!!!!

    Parts Wanted Subaru conversion parts??

    That looks sound, and i bet a lot cheaper then £1000. The cheapest ive seen is £745 with a place called PPP, i might go that route, but i might check with my local custom exhaust company.

    New engine!!

    Make sure you do your homework on the engine builder(see my other thread on here) Don't go for the cheapest like I did and ask lots of questions before deciding who is building your engine.
