to be honest its a new car to me only had it a couple of weeks and bought it based on condition shown in photos, the guy i bought it off also offered to drive it down from bolton to help me out, so dont know a huge amount about the car.

it hasnt done a journey other than up and down the road just to see how she goes, once fully warmed up obviously.

she does have some piston slap when cold but this dopes disappear when warmed up and for a standard car, she goes really qwell, no hesitation or anything like that and pulls hard, no smoke from exhaust just the occasional pop now and again, which i presume is overfuelling, its a 96 wrx by the way.

it is completely standard down to the catted downpipe etc but does have a cat back exhaust and panel filter, thats it, literally.

for what i paid for it im not to fussed in all honesty, would like to get at least 6 months out of it though if possible before having to worry about doing anything engine wise, but if push comes to showve, then so be it.

just out of interest, other than a standard wrx engine of the same year, what other engines are a straight swap??

thanks again in advance
