  1. The one on my legacy got like that, "jerky" performance is how I\'d describe it, and you could hear it whining really badly while it was idling, sounded like a hover craft!! Took it to mechanic and he said "hmmm they\'re not meant to sound like that" You hearing the same whining?
  2. Hi people, Pulled another strut out of the wagon today to send away to get looked at and I notice my top hat bearings in the front are getting very notchy, like they\'re grabbing which can\'t be good. I\'ve put grease in them - no change, does anyone know if you can have new bearings fitted or what\'s the go? They look rather sealed...... Many thanks!!!
  3. Ok this "George" sound can you elaborate on this lol, the sound I\'m getting is kind of a funny whistley groan it\'s pretty strange, what will flipping the valve around do? Cheers!!
  4. Hi, am trying to track down a funny whistle sound comming from my engine bay, also revs under idle drop at times, have had AFM rebuilt ect, I\'m leaning towards th BOV leaking. Now I\'ve removed the BOV and it might sound like a dopey question but are you meant to be able to blow a bit of air through the inlet to it when its off the car or are they meant to be 100% airtight, I\'d imagine if I can do this that the seal is getting worn and I could imagine a couple psi leaking past it under load as the whistle sound only comes in under light boost. 1997 gtb legacy Any help would be great
  5. Trying to get my flatmates wrx running properly for him, is missing and farting and jerking around, wont go above 80kms an hour, was like this from the day he got it. Have done the following: Ecu check - got code 23 & 24, so re-soldered the AFM terminals and done a ecu reset and no more code 23 & 24, but is now showing a code 51 - neutral switch and still running like a bag of crap!! So question is would that code be causing these probs or is there something else going on? I wouldn't have thought something so simple would cause so many probs. Many thanks!!!
  6. Hi there, on my BG wagon the heater unit lights aren't working any more - just the ones behind the buttons. I know there's a how to on pulling the unit out on here somewhere but I need to know where I can buy new bulbs (short of pulling apart 5 second hand units to find good bulbs) Cheers guys!!!
  7. "Flat4" Whats your thoughts on those Re002's? Im booked in for a full set on the GTB tomorrow - would be nice to have some real world feedback before I say goodbye to around $900 Cheers!

    Sweet I'll give that a go then, were you able to get a gasket from anywhere for it or did you just make one? Cheers!

    No ones had this prob before???
  11. Howdy all, last nite the old Rs started playing up and doing funny things and has spat out a code 24 (idle air control valve) makes sense seeing as it was revving all over the show, my question is what's the usual fix for these? Can they be repaired or should I replace it with a second hand one? And can you get the gaskets from ripco and the likes?
  12. Hello all, Just wondering why the boost in my 91 Rs flings up to 11psi when it comes on boost then slowly drops back down to 8-9psi? Its got a vf8 on it - unsure if this is factory or not? No mods other than noisy muffler, all vac hoses seem to be going where they should ect
  13. My new RS facelift, this is the first of hopefully many pics to come, is going to be my project car so will be looking for help in many places soon, any ideas that anyone's got would be mint too
  14. Yeah don't think so, id say the clutch will be on its last legs but its definitely missing that spring though!!! Thanks heaps bud you've saved me alot of dicking around
