Subaru specialist for engine work ?

[gazzab]

Looks like my P1 has low compression on 2 cylinders. So needs some engine work.
anyone know of an independent that can do this sort of work cheaper than at a dealer?
I am in Surrey direction.

You could try Dave West who owns/runs Risborough 4wd. He can be got on 01844 274652. He is Subaru trained then set up on his own when the garage closed. He's serviced 4 of my Scoobs including my 22B, so yes I trust him!

It's a fair distance from you, but you might want to try Autosportif in Oxford. Not just another subaru specialist, these people seem to know what there talking about.

A friend of mine had a total engine rebuild on his 3dr STI5 a few years back. He is a fussy sort and was very impressed.

These guys get very good write-ups, but up near Chelmsford in Essex so maybe a bit far? Haven't used them as car is under very expensive warranty LOL, but Knowlsey has hired some good guys and is spending plenty of money to make this a good company.

I'm up there alot at the moment and I've seen 3 or 4 of the 2.5 conversion, its a really nice neat conversion.

[gazzab]

Is it similiar to the Type 25 conversion that Litchfield did woth powerstation as per last EVO mag?

[vixpy1]

yes it is similar, not sure how close but i think it might even be the same block.
