So the WRX is off the road AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : : : : : : : : :
I've done the big end bearing AGAIN : : : only 60 thou odd Ks since last time.
Anyone have a spare EJ20t lying around that goes and they don’t want\need?
No mechanical warranty this time = no fixxy soon. I'll do my own transplant when i can get some cash together but that’s months off.
