Right guys hello.
Names dan from the midlands not long hit 30 but been a mad subaru head since 2008 owning 1 wrx wagon. 1 wrx sti lightweight (still owned but garaged),and 1 uk version 6 turbo that was wrote off on 19/01/2013 by an on coming driver...
I've owned my evo since 31st of jan an still haven't got to drive it.
I bought a silver evo iv witch had apparently suffered from the horrifying crank walk so I got it for a really good price. But it was a far worse cry than crank walk when we got the car back to the workshop we started stripping the engine down to get to the route of the problem we noticed the conrod 2nd in from belt side had twisted slightly so we pulled off the head to find a chipped piston and a couple bent valves. We had noticed that all belts and gaskets were very new so I'm guessing a p155 poor rebuild. Other than that I had a really solid good conditioned car that's rust free and was imported in 2009 she also sits on coilovers, has some induction kit, straight threw exhaust turbo bk, Here's the only pics I got at the min





Cheers dan

Crank walk??

Welcome along, time to get a later engine wacked in :awesome:

Cheers

Yeah but the crank was solid thinking bad timing or the belt jumped as had water in oil also....

I've just put a low milage vi engine with engine code YT0717 in Martin@evosalvage supplied it along with a nice set of brembos...

Just waiting on a gearbox inspection plate for it then I'm taking it out to hammer a tank or 2 of vpower :)

about 80 mile if I go by what my subaru use to get per tank. Lol
