With my abilities, I’d feel a lot better getting a prebuilt engine with a warranty and installed by a professional. It is a lot of money, though. However, the cool thing about the Subie community is the DIY spirit. I feel I’ve learned so much about cars by owning my STi and working on it. I’ve only done suspension stuff but maybe in a few years, I’ll be able to do an engine if I keep learning and make a few friends.

The subaru community is indeed very helpful and the DIY spirit is alive and well. Hopefully, if you ever venture down the path of doing your own build I hope it all turns out well for you.

I'd love to build my own engine. I don't know if I'd be successful though? Measuring seems a bit confusing to me. It would be a bummer to see it fail from a stupid mistake I might make.

To see it fail due to small error would be awful. Not to mention the potential $$$ you could be out as well. Building your own would be a fun experience though as it is a great project for an enthusiast. Building/restoring an older Subaru is something I've always wanted to do as well. Too many hobbies not enough time lol.

Where did you get the silver overlay from?

The emblems were hand painted from a guy on IG a few years back. Don't think he does it anymore though his name on there was Redtreeprojects. The colors are Ice Silver Metallic with Gloss Black Stars.
