    Well last night at 10pm going over to milo's my engine got messed up really bad. So probly my scoob is down for the count right now. I cant really tell if the engine is blown. But all the oil on the engine and on the ground is not a really good sign. I wanted to thank everyone for their support and helping me push my car to milo's apartment. :wtc:

    That does indeed suck.

    Let me know if you need a hand. Unfortunately I have plenty of experience swapping out short blocks.

    good luck
    treat it as excitement in disguise
    - new engine - wahooooooo
    and then rebuild this to a point that its better than the swap one with all the internals you want

    Sheeit, I wish my insurance company would cover a blown modded motor; I'd be out cranking up the boost in a second!

    my insurance company covered my blown motor. it pays to have full coverage.

    Any word from the insurance company yet? I hope they cover it. Or atleast cut you a check so you can apply it towards a STI shortblock or Swap.

    Sorry guys but here is the deal! Insurance is not going to cover the block because of a mechanical failure. So im going to have SOG put new 2.0 L in the car and i will be parting out all the aftermarket parts because i cant afford it. Then ill go trade it in on a economic car and not mod it. So I am calling it quits on subaru's. Just to much to deal with....

    yeah u could get a 2.5 rs and keep some mods and have a great subaru look while having it a bit cheaper.. so u can stay in our nice family.

    calmnothing Shlimp Flied Lice Supporting Member

    OH DUDE!!! That's the shittest news. I hope everything gets worked out and you find a way to not have to part with the car. Best wishes man

    Why don't you just buy a used shortblock and get it put in? It'll be cheaper

    Give me a call when you will be parting out if you need a hand. In fact, just call me if you want to talk about this. Best of luck Ryan.

    Ryan,

    Sell the AEM and get a 2.5 block. I have done the swap many times and would be willing to help. If all the parts are lined up it could be done in a day. (a long one) Anything else you do is going to put you further in debt.

    I was thinking of selling my car recently when I lost my #2 piston. But after looking at the cost it didn't make since not to atleast try swapping in a new piston.

    I'm just going to have SOG do the job. I'm going to sell all the parts so i can pay off the job. Then ill be running as stock and just sell it and trade it in for a STI.
