It had top off rebuild by Spannerboy,
with new gaskets belts and whatever else to freshen it up.
I chose that motor as it is supposed to be the most bulletproof,
its much faster than the 2.1 MV that it came with,
and the torque range means less than half the gear changes too,
it sounds absolutely brilliant, and powers a massive drivers grin.
The reliability is what I wanted, along with good economy.
It really feels like it doubled the power and doubled the mpg.
Initially the mpg was only a bit better,
because for some reason the throttle kept hitting the floor..
the delight of the sound and torque, brings out the boy racer,
grown up a bit now and at least half the time can relax and listen to the burble.

It fits like it was made for it,
looks clean and spacious with easy access to everything.
The only drawback has been the cost, in my time and money,
I guess Subaru is probably the most expensive engine conversion.
