Crank seal and mapping. Meant to be at a Brands trackday on the 2nd July, cant see that happening now 
I was told at the beginning of June that I'd have it back way before then, called today and no progress to report. I may have to look for alternative options if it continues I guess!

Haha! You make it sounds so easy
Are you waiting on a company or just having big problems finding one?
waiting on a company finishing the work on it
No Update.
Can't contact garage, no idea where the build is, no idea what's left to do or what needs to be done. Cars been there 3 months, been trying for 1 month to contact them.
MOT and Tax runs out in August....then what....no way of getting the car home. Wonderful.
My only option now is to just turn up. Which means finding childcare for my 2 year old as my wife works on Saturdays and I work during the week, then a 2 hour drive to get to the garage, to not even know if they're open as I can't contact them, then a 2 hour drive back!!
Joke.

Not yet mate, but communication has been resumed and m getting regular updates now, so all good, for now.
Only downside is I need a new clutch, so a new paddle clutch will be ordered this afternoon!
172 cup, Impreza P1
Sorry to hear of all your delays. Hope it gets sorted soon.
This any use for you?

Probably a noob question but what's a paddle clutch and why?
Looks expensive.
My cup is on its original clutch. 120k and 11 years on.

Im not sure on the finer details but just know it can handle the extra power torque, not really sure why! Lol!
Small update... Engine was being put back together and back in last week, but as always communication is an issue, goes through stages of good, then nothing.
Ill just keep pestering and hope for the best
So now that I'm picking up a half done car from Bedford on Saturday 6th September, I'm back at square one and need to find a reputable garage who can help me out!
Engine is bolted in, no fluids and pipe work half back in. Still not mapped and no idea about the oil leaks, I hope they've been sorted if the engine is back in. This is all I know, and won't know more until I see the car!
My plan us go pick up the car from Bedford and go straight to a new place, to save on hiring another trailer etc.
Recommendations needed....I think clioturbo is a bit too far for me which is real shame, other options are Rs tuning, Efi parts, any others??
Ideally open Saturdays too as that's when I need to drop it off....

Could do but still need it mapped.
I'm trying to avoid hiring a trailer twice really, so in my head thought I could pick the car up, and take it straight to a place that could finish the mechanicals and then map it!
As I'm already travelling from Kent to Bedford, going from Bedford to Leeds for example wouldn't be such a trek!
Best give him a call as I know his hours have changed recently.

Only other one would be Fred at btm, but it would need to go elsewhere for mapping. Fred's in Birmingnam.
Unfortunately it was a poor choice (hindsight being a great thing!)but saying I cut corners was a low blow lol! I will take it wherever it needs to go yo get done properly
Thanks, I'm hoping so when it's fine!
