Mine blew up 2 months after having it after a few 1/4 miles. £3k to rebuild. | |

My mate had a UK2000 he bought it standard with 100k on the clock, still sounded sweet when he sold it on 120k | |

Id say go for it. They are usually very reliable if looked after. Parts and second hand engines are also plentiful if it does go wrong. Or you could buy mine which already has a lot of upgrades for £4k! | |

You might get a few events out of it but when it goes bang its a big bill. Probably better spending more in the first place and getting a better car which will last longer. | |

I wouldn't take the risk, I'm not sure I'd look at ANYTHING 4wd for that money to be honest. | |

Yeah i don't expect anything concourse, but just interested to know how hardy a car they are as standard and weather it's feasible to take the risk. should be a capable track car with a bit of money pent on it, but get a feeling it could easily become a money pit :look:. | |

I would be very sceptical of any Imprezza that cheap. | |

bearings suffer on these engines, the bearings are narrow, and add to the fact the oil doesnt return to the sump as easily as your normal 4 cylinder engine...... | |

Looking on pistonheads, and you can pick up an imprezza turbo for sub £2k these days. What kind of horrors could you expect with something like this reliability wise? What are parts like for these engines availability/price wise? Just after some general info really as a base for a track car :look:. |
