Also if a video of it being started up (inside and out), normal driving/shifting through the gears and showing the inside could be posted that'd be perfect just to decide further.


If wanting a trade, it'd be for

The engine change is legit and done properly with receipts and warranty. I honestly would never sell or do anything dodgy. But yeah, if you're interested I'm a phone call or SMS away... Worse case is I keep and drop in some cool parts I got sitting in the garage :D

As long as the engine is changed over properly by a good mechanic/engine builder, it's actually a good thing.

You get a fresh engine that will last you longer and any little niggles (aging gaskets, rusty wire connections etc) that were there before - should have been taken out as a matter of course.






Now, onto the matter of it being a beast.... It still needs a few more mods for that! :D it certainly looks the part though.

Yeah, I could have just done the head gaskets on the old engine, but it still would have been left with the bottom end and pistons etc that has over 170,000kms so I opted to pay a bit more and get a complete motor with low kms. I could have rebuilt it with forged stuff, but I don't have any big power plans for it nor did I want the expense and possible headaches (and heartaches) that seem to come with it. It's just a daily and I want it to be reliable for the next 200,000kms + that myself or a new owner would do.

Talking about it being a beast... I have all the parts ready to go on... But just holding off til one of my cars sell :twisted:

Kontri, Dazzz's TBSTi is awesome and the guy doing the engine swap is a Subaru fanatic! And a qualified mechanic to boot. This month and last he's done a few engine swaps including straight swaps, like his own and Dazzz's, but also removal for builds and reinstalls post build

As an idea of how much I personally trust the guy doing (or who did do,, I can't remember if it's done yet...) the swap, I drove down from Brisbane to Sydney for him to swap out my turbo....now I'm in Sydney, I don't have to travel as far for a mechanic I trust lol
