Hi Guys,

Unfortunately the Storm took my WRX away from me (Flooding of the Engine)

My insurance company advised it's going to be a write-off, so now I'm stuck in a hard place. Apparently to bring it back to life would require a new / recond engine.

So here are my questions;

If i choose to buy it back from Insurance could I source a new Engine here (in Perth) and what would it cost to transplant / get back on the road again? (It's a 1999 WRX)

Secondly, What repercussions from flooding if any would occur in the future? IE wires rusting over time etc?

Thirdly, would dropping in a STI engine be possible as opposed to the equivalent one I have now?

Bear in mind this is all dependant on how much the buy back cost will be (I havn't been told yet)

Obviously if it's too costly (over 8 - 9k inc buy back of car) then its probably not worth it..

Cheers for the assistance,
Matt

P.S. I can tell this is going to turn into a heated debate
