old engine had done 240 000 and was making 276 at the hubs so it was time for it to go i guess. ill get a tune done atsome stage just lack of fund will mean it will have to wait for a little while.

Sounds good i have the old engine so their should be bungs on their i can use yeah? the welshplug for the coolant i will have to get though from the sounds of it.

timing belt wise ill probably get the engine up and running and then do it. Ill compare it to the 99wrx engine to see if its all the same stuff i did the timing belt on tha engine at about 190 000 so may use those bits for now
thanks for your advice
