Hey guys so I need new front rotors for my BL5 and was wondering what would fit and what would be an upgrade from stock.
Should I go with 4pot brakes?
Cheers

Hey guys was wondering if anybody has used them before? (current circumstances prevent me from being able to do my servicing myself
) Or if you know of anywhere i can get a service for relatively cheaply.Cheers

sounds more like a blocked vvt solenoid or faulty injectors. try cleaning out the vvt solenoid first as the oil feed bolt houses a strainer that breaks off overtime and gets stuck in the vvt solenoid which advances the cam timing to more than 50 degrees on idle. if you in auckland than come and see me, ill sort it out for you.
Where abouts are you in auckland? it would be awesome if you could help me out and possibly teach me some things about my engine haha

If you're not really mechanically inclined at all (and it sounds like you aren't) you could spend a long time chasing your tail from internet advice
Does this problem only happen when the car is cold? Is it behaving fine otherwise (such as power, gas usage etc)?
As has been said it could be any number of things to cause this problem, it could be a sensor issues (such as the airflow meter, the temp sensor, even just the calibration of the throttle itself?) or a physical issue in the form of something not firing, not opening as it should, or something perished. On a car this relatively new I'd be thinking it's unlikely that parts are perishing unless it's had a particularly hard time of it?
My advice would be take it to someone or somewhere who can at least plug a scanner into it, it may not have a "check engine" light on but a misfire on a car that new should still trigger a code for something out of the ordinary. Worst case I have had cars get left overnight just so the issue can get diagnosed by someone with the tools to actually diagnose it, could be a lot simpler than trawling through a dozen different avenues
wait... ross said most of that already haha
The car runs fine when im driving and havent noticed anything out of the ordinary with fuel usage, but i have noticed that it does it when the car is warm.
I have enquired with some mechanics but they either dont have a clue about subarus or they dont have the tools to check (i must be enquiring with the wrong ones hah) someone point me in the right direction with who i could take it to either in hamilton or bay of plenty? Please and Thank you
I'm going to give the idle re learning a go anyways cant hurt to try that.

Awesome find man thanks a bunch am going to do this after i change my oil on thursday
-
Do you guys have like a step by step on how to do this as i dont have a clue about engines.
-
would i do that whilst the car is running?
-
No CEL so far, from the link i have a feeling it might be that but doesnt sound as bad as they are describing on their cars (probably because its alot colder there lol).
Can't really do anything to the car other than take it to a mechanics as i don't have any tools or space to pull the car apart in Hamilton.

its a 2007 BL5.
I was wondering if an ecu reflash would help at all?
-
Nah it does it when its warm too i just noticed it was doing it while warm yesterday arvo.
And how would i go about cleaning the IACV?

Hey guys so i started my car after being up at Mt Ruapehu for the weekend and let it warm up before i drove anywhere, but as i got into it after packing i noticed the engine like kicked and the revs rise then drop suddenly then pick up again as it reaches below 500rpms (sort of dissmissed it thinking it was just the cold getting to the engine or something). Today i started her up and as it was warming up i noticed it doing the same thing but this time i could feel the engine almost like kick as if it was misfiring on a cylinder possibly??
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or would know whats causing this as im not that mechanically inclined about engines.
(sorry for the long post)
Cheers

Washed it for the first time in like a month and noticed some new deep scratches on it that were hiding under the dirt
-
Im stumped...

Mine seems to be mapped correctly then because when im in intelligent i get pretty much no boost even when i go to the redline, and get boost when i go into sports and sports sharp. I also seem to get a better fuel economy in intelligent than when im in either sports modes. Just my 2 cents and my trials in my BL5 subie

Hey guys so i need help getting to the rear light and sub in the rear tray of my subi. For the life of me i cant figure it out and i have searched everywhere for some help, but havent turned up anything. Any help or tips appreciated
-
Took my Mcintosh amp out from under the passenger seat and replaced one of the resistors to give the sub a bit of a boost. Worked quite well and the sub actually goes quite hard for a factory setup haha. Cant wait to save up enough to replace the whole system.
