Parts Supplies / Mail Order Testimonials

Thank you so much for your quick and professional responce to my inquiry regarding the twin scroll Impreza STI 8-9 JDM setup. I have been looking around for a long time to get all the appropriate parts and I was more than lucky to get ALL of them in one place; API Engines Ltd. Your 'warm', professional contact and enthusiasm, exceeds by far all the previous experiences I had with various aftersales services or 'specialists'.

Your knowledge of the various Subaru specifications and experience in modifying the Subaru engine gave the right answers on all the uprising questions 'if everything would fit and work fine' due to the fact that my car is a Euro Spec STI.

I have to mention that all the parts are in excellent condition, although 2nd hand, they look as if new!! I am anxious to get them on my STI, and feel the big difference they will make on my engine's performance.

I recommend API Engines Ltd to anybody who wants serious, professional and friendly help regarding the Subaru vehicle as I already have done to the Greek Scoobynet.gr club members.

Best Regards,
Zisis Papistas, Greece / STI 03

Clare,
Thanks for the confirmation.
I cannot thank API enough for the way you have dealt with this. Too many companies would have refused to refund or replace let alone arranged the collection of the goods.

I have no hesitation in recommending API or purchasing from you in the future.

Exhausts & Mapping Testimonials

Hi David,

Just thought I'd drop you a mail to say the new exhaust and map has completely transformed the car, which I knew it would but its still an amazing difference.
The big back box looks fantastic and the exhaust note is excellent. Everything is better, gear changes are smoother and the car feels much more pointy and under control with more power being delivered smoothly.

The car had sti suspension already fitted when I bought it which has always felt jolty and a bit uncomfortable, but now seems to work well with the extra power which has ironed out a lot of the car's jerkiness.

So many thanks for that. I'll get in touch again when I've saved up some more pocket money. As a first step towards modding a basic wrx I think the janspeed system and Pat's mapping is a very dramatic one and worth every penny.

All the best,
Maurice

Engine & Gearbox Testimonials

To David,
Just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you so much for all that you have done in helping me with my car/engine. You made everything so easy and painless for both deciding what to do and on the wallet. Nathan, Martin and all the guys are a big credit to your company, and i can see why you are so busy all the time.
With regard to the car, WOW!! what a transformation. I gave it a bit of beans on the way home on the motorway, and i was breaking the speed limit in seconds! 300ish BHP doesn't sound much nowadays, but its plenty for me at the moment! Just be a matter of time before i need to find out how much a gearbox rebuild will be! Thanks again for all your help, advice and swift service. I will only be using you from now on and recommending as many people as i can.

Yours sincerely
Dominic Jeans

Thanks to David at APi Engines for the superb aftersales service experience given when having a warranty repair. Where other 'specialists' seriously fall over in this area, APi excel. There was no general unpleasantness or uneasy feeling you would normally associate with these circumstances.

I originally wanted a realistic repair budget without compromise in quality [ not usual the 'big name with equally BIG bill' associated with Imprezas ] . David and his team want to do a top job for you - there are no shortcuts in these guys. It's straight talking down the line advice and help.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend APi to anyone - for service, cost, advice, friendliness and professionalism. Take my word, these guys know their stuff inside out.

Just a quick eMail to say thank you for all the work you have carried out on the rebuild and the time you took out on Saturday to arrange collection.

Thanks for making an unpleasant experience a lot easier to deal with.

See you in a thousand miles.
All the best, Miles

To all at API, Just a short note to say thank you for selling me a quality second hand engine for my Mazda MX 5.

I had heard so many bad things about buying so called low mileage imported engines and was very wary about doing so myself. All I can say is that the mechanical engineer who fitted my engine was most impressed that the engine was not robbed of essential parts and how clean and well packed to the pallet it was. He stated that he also will recommend you to all his associates. I had a new timing belt fitted and the engine is running perfectly. Please feel free to use my email in any customer testimonial column you have and once again; Many Thanks. I was treated as a customer should be and the delivery was prompt and on a tail lift, at no extra cost to me.

Yours most sincerly, Chris Davies Bristol

I took the car to Snetterton yesterday and as usual had a couple of 'sighter' laps with the resident professional and he said that this car (your engine) spun up more quickly than any Subaru he had ever encountered. Seeing as he goes in 2-3 different scoobies a week, every week, this is a pretty good accolade.

Dear David, A quick note to give you my first impressions after my drive back to Yorkshire: in a word, fantastic. I'd started to get used to the WRX you loaned me, even to the point of thinking "Hmmm, this is not bad" and wondering whether I was antideluvian by hanging on to the past (ie, a classic and, specifically, a P1). Sitting here with a grin from ear to ear reveals how wrong I was to doubt my blue beast. Five minutes into the drive home and the WRX was a distant memory consigned to the "delete" box. Even before you did the biz, it was a great car - now it's gone up several notches in driveability and appeal. It's smoother, torquier and, if anything, (slightly) more economical. And no scraping from the calipers, though I suspect I may need to seek a more permanent solution. The extra pull in fourth and fifth is especially noticeable - and effective, especially while munching motorway miles. Altogether it just "feels" so much better and as "feel" is what these cars is all about, so top marks to API. I must say a special thanks to your team - every one of them was spot on: polite, helpful and clearly top dogs at getting the job done just right. The bacon and egg buttie and escorted tour to the nearest Optimax station and then on to the motorway was taking customer care to the next level. A special thanks to the young guy who did most of the work - he's spot on and a damned good advert for your business. Many thanks, Dave Blows

Dear David, Martin, Nathan and Luke

Thank you for today - 1000% happy with the results!

Gauges are superb.
