Questions/How to contact me for fast responses Please email me at Andrew@Z-Interiors.com instead of using PM's! My responses will be much quicker since I can easily check it on my phone. This also allows me to stay organized and serve you better as a customer. I never use email lists don't worry! Alternatively, ask questions in the thread, and I'll answer you in the thread. Thank you!
Payments: I am going to be looking for cash, checks, or post office money orders on these parts because the prices are for local pickups. Otherwise I'd like to add on the 3.5% Paypal fee+ shipping for people far away.
My Reviews: I've been an RS25 vendor for almost 4 years now! I have over 2360 positive feedbacks on eBay as well. With my business reputation on the line, you can feel confident when purchasing from me. My reviews are what makes my business.
Location/Shipping/Picking Up: I live in Burlington, VT and I can ship anywhere. I go to USPS every day and would provide tracking numbers. For heavier items I can use UPS/Fedex. I also drive to my parents house in Westbrook CT about once a month. So if you are along the drive down 91, I could meet you possibly.

Story:
I rebuilt this 2005 WRX EJ205 in Dec 2011 and it only ran for 6000-7000 miles (read below). I am hurting after this unfortunate EJ205 build so please, no low ball offers unless you actually intend to get the part for a fair and competitive price (based on what other similar parts are selling for). However, all prices are best offer. You can also combine parts and get a discount.
Reason for engine failure:
How did this happen? Who knows. I did not drop anything in there. But all parties are saying that. My car had all of its work done by one shop, but then was diagnosed by 2 different shops when it first started having idle issues.
From the shop that diagnosed it:
"We tore your engine down yesterday and removed the cylinder heads. I have attached a few pictures so you can see the damage. It appears that one or two foreign steel objects went into the engine and ended up in cylinders #3 and #4. On cylinder #4 it appears that it came in through the intake valves and was pounded between the head and piston a few times, you can see clear imprints on the piston top and in the cylinder head. From there, it probably fell to the exhaust side where it got caught between the head and piston again. It also seems to have marred the cylinder liner there and broken the piston top as you can see in the pictures. At this point we inspected the exhaust to see if we could find the piece, but there was nothing in the manifold or uppipe. We did find some bends on the turbine wheel inducer by looking into the inlet of the turbine, but there was nothing in the turbo and it seems to spin fine with no excessive shaft play. After this we pulled the other head off and found a similar situation in cylinder #3. You can see in the pictures that there is a piece of steel embedded in the #3 piston top, it seems to have stuck there before falling to the exhaust side like cylinder #4.
We looked through the intake manifold and the cold side of the intercooler to see if anything was missing but everything seemed to be there, so unfortunately I can't tell you what exactly went into the engine. I think it goes without saying that we can't reasonably be expected to cover any of this as warranty work."
Thank you!
