Contemplating the purchase of a pretty heavily modded 04 STI w/ a bad shortblock. Unfortunately, my mechanical experience is pretty much limited to Hondas/Acuras. Anyone on here interested in drinking beer, making some money reinstalling some factory parts (turbo/manifold/uppipe/downpipe) and throwing a new short block into an STI?

 

Yes.

 

Beer will be provided based on mechanical aptitude

 

did someone say beer?

i work for beer

 

Experience w/ EJ20/25's? I can provide lots 'o beer.

 

i might know a thing or two

when do you plan on getting it?

 

I will know for sure if I am getting it in the next day or two. I am trying to get him to confirm if the heads are still ok before I sink the money into it. If I decide to get it, it should be here in 1-2 weeks, and then another 1-2 weeks will be needed to get the new shortblock/misc. parts. Essentially I am still 2-4 weeks out, but I just wanted to make sure I could count on a local Suby enthusiast as opposed to having to take it to a dealer.

 

let me know if you're getting it. i'm all for it. that'll also be good timing for me.

 

Sweet. Thanks
