    There's an rps on trademe off an Impreza, same version I have on my rev d. Sounds like a Subaru should and not droney at all.

    Love seeing more BH5s :)

    I figured out the weird single wire switching door locks on my Wagon and wired in a door lock/unlock remote and also some funky immobilisation that I won’t be specific about.
     
    I also received a Fenix alloy “race” radiator. The stock one still holds pressure and maintains temp but it looks old and tired. I had a premonition that it was going to explode on the way up the ski field this season and leave me stranded. I doubt the Fenix will perform any better as the car never got hot before but it will be nice to not have 19 year old plastic radiator in there.

    Yeah 4th Gen you didn't need to take the dash out... 5th Gen... well yeah... :(

    Guess I'll just keep a spare hoody in the car for the front passenger :P

     

     

    Hoping my BH just needs a regas. I have the opposite problem. Heat is fine just no nice beautiful cool air for the summer time. Still, now that we're coming into winter I can probably delay it a bit 😅

    I took both front wheels off and checked the ball joints and bushes.

    everything seems tight with no play and the boots are all intact. 

    Wheel weights are all still in place. 

    Tires are still legal and no flat spots or bulges. 

     

    Had a lot of vibration on the road going through the roadworks on SH16 and wasn’t sure it was just the road surface. 

    Steering felt off as well. 

     

    Yeah my steering is feeling a bit off too.

    First port of call once new wheels are on is full alignment and balance.

    Nothing with a Legacy badge except the original RS-RA will ever be a "classic", far too many of them were just used as the family runabout and they don't have any sort of (well known) racing pedigree to make them desirable.
     
    The rarer ones like the S401 will always hold some novelty value to Subaru enthusiasts, but the humble Rev D will never be any more classic than a XR6 Falcon or a Honda Accord.
    At a time it was the fastest production wagon in the world.. They will always have their fans for sure.

    @TNHSTI I've been using Gull 98 for the last 3 fillups. It almost sounds like It, but it's from more under the car. I don't know what the boost PSI/BAR is. Is there a way to get the reading on the digital dash? It's a gauge I would like to get. What type should I be looking for?

     

    This forum is great! Thanks for all the help!

     

    I will probably get called out for this, but a long time ago when I had my first rev d GTB I remember reading Gulls own information about their 98 blend as I was about to fill up for the first time at a Gull

     

    Their brochure actually implicitly recommended to NOT use Gull 98 in our cars (I am guessing because of the ethanol? Or some additive?) 

     

    Try a tank of BP 98. As for the sluggishness you mention, does not sound right at all. Even an auto rev d should give you a decent pull from a stop if you give it the beans. 

     

    Take a vid?
