Theres not a whole lot of mechanical differences between the 401 motors and the ADM ones. Small ones, like properly balanced weights when it came to piston and rod selections, but on the whole it is still only a 2L with 32/33 turbos. Most of the good bit was the tuning. Big bugger to hear that it went bang due to mechanical failure. Would have cost a mint to get over here too hey?
MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.

Yeah it was a massive PITA and will get it fixed and back in when more money comes in
Got the engine with jdm 6speed, diff, shafts, ecu and brakes from a cut cost a bit maybe 5k after everything
And yes I know it's basically the same except it's apparently hand-built and blueprinted from factory but it was smooth and ran pretty sweet due to either what it was or that it's a low K engine that's probably had some lovely fairy juice put through it haha
