Tino buy corona's and call in a pro to do some stress relief for you. You will be able to think clearer then my friend.

In all reality what are you going to get for the car with no motor? There was that guy on Rexnet that was trying to offload a stock (except for some aftermarket rims) 06 sti minus engine (approx 25km's from memory) and could not get a bite @ $23k. In the end I think he decided to put a new motor in himself.

Absolute best case would surely be that you got about $25k with no engine. I would of thought an 06 sti motor would be about $8k by the time you fitted / tuned etc. Surely you would get more than $33k for it with a new motor?

My 2c

tragic man, have a hard think or walk away for a few weeks, get ladies to help relax.. get your game face on and head back in with a plan.

good luck

The block has had it's day!

The cylinder head is well and truly repairable and any repairs (if done properly of course) should not cause any issues what so ever.

I have seen plenty of cylinder heads in worse shape that that repaired with complete success.

If you insist that the head is not repairable I have a bare pair of heads off a '06 spec C (travelled less than 1000km from new) that I could sell. Also have new in the box cosworth cams and oversize valves.

I think you have to remember that a heap of effort has gone into making this car look awesome as well as the performance side.
It would be a shame not to get it out on the street and enjoy turning peoples heads, it doesn't need a gazzillion HP to do that..
Is it too much to ask who was the dodgy engine seller on Rexnet so nobody else gets stung, as there are a few people selling complete engines on there nowadays.

Best of luck.
