    Checked belt, mint condition. I played with the tensioner a little bit, so far no problems yet. But will have to see what happens over the next few days. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

    Hi guys, My power steering pump is screeching quite badly on cold starts but seems to happen more likely on warm days. So when I start the car, it immediately makes a very loud screeching noise and goes away once I get the car moving a bit/give it a bit of gas. I thought it could be the pulley but recently it started to stop working as well after the cold start for about a second when turning the wheel. Will try and get a video, but I just tried to get some videos this morning but it decided to start up without making a noise or anything. Anyone had the same problem before? The real question I need answered is whether I need to replace the pump completely, or can it be rebuilt/repaired whatever. Car is 2007 Legacy BP5 turbo JDM. Thanks in advanced people!

    It's all bolt ons really, but have spent a lot of the car already and I'm bloody attached to it... Any idea around how much I'd be looking at?

    Hey all, Just got a question about doing a 6 speed swap into my Legacy GT JDM. It's already a 5 speed manual, what would be required to make the change and how much roughly? Thanks in advanced!

    looks like its gotten a bit cheaper? haha.. which other intakes are out there for our cars? I'm after something like Grimmspeed where they have pipe, filter and an airbox kinda thing.

    Is this the one you have? http://www.grimmspeed.com/grimmspeed-cold-air-intake-subaru-legacy-gt-05-09-outback-xt-05-09/

    Awesome! Thanks mate

    Can't seem to find any after market air intakes for JDM BP5s? Do Grimmspeed fit/work on JDM versions? Any recommendations would be awesome, thanks in advanced.

    why did you tell me that....?

    Fixed the problem entirely, got new front rotors as they were warped and were already at minimum thickness, so I grabbed some DBA T2 Slotted rotors and now there's not a sound from my brakes!!!!

    Went Pitstop, it was an exhaust leak by the secondary cat.. Getting it straight piped and deleting the secondary cat as the cat's half broken anyway, hopefully it's only a little bit louder.. @sobanoodle you still want a video? I took one and it basically sounds like exhaust leak hahaha

    At first I thought it was intake too, but had a look at it, checked filter and everything and it seemed fine... Think it could be a gasket leak then... Hopefully..

    I'm waiting on some brake hardware to arrive, gonna change the brake hardware and then try and clean up the brakes as much as possible and hopefully it'll make a difference... So far it still sounds like 1000 dying kittens...

    Will take a video and post it tomorrow, don't wanna wake any neighbours up at this hour..
  17. benyu0926
    Yea, turns out the my subie wanted to show it's inner Honda.. No check engine light..
  18. benyu0926
    Would exhaust gasket blowout cause loss in power? I think my car lost a bit of power since it started making that noise... Idler pulley bearing, whats the damage like on the bank usually?

    Was driving my car home tonight (2007 Legacy GT JDM), stopped at the lights and then took off, this weird exhaust-y noise came from the front of my car closer to engine bay, I thought it was a Honda next to me at first but then realised it car from my car. I stopped on the side and turned off the car and started it back up again, still had that noise.. A bit louder through the lower rpms, and I can't really hear my exhaust from the back (HKS hi flow exhaust).. Also feels like there's less power.. Gonna take her to the mechanic tomorrow morning, but any ideas what it could be? I checked under the hood once I got home, couldn't find anything unusual..
  20. benyu0926
    Awesome, will definitely check.. Thanks

    Did you keep the back plate of the brake pads when you install with em? Or had them removed?
  22. benyu0926
    Yea same here, parked for maybe an hour and reversed out and was loud as heck.. Yea I did get my rotors skimmed just last December, they should be pretty even but I'm planning on checking them tomorrow..
  23. benyu0926
    Nah they're not racing pads, just for street application.. Yea same thing here, I park my car inside as well.. Have you looked into getting anything done about it? It's quite loud and it just doesn't sound nice at all...

    Hey guys, Recently got new pads for my Subaru Legacy which has been fitted with v7 brembos. The new pads compounds are much harder I guess compared to my old ones, as these ones (Dixcel EC) are meant to create less dust. When I first drive the car and say reverse down my driveway, every time I brake a little bit the brakes/rotors screech like there's no tomorrow, but after I brake a few more times its gone. I've come to the conclusion that it's corrosion on my brake rotors, that's why when I don't drive it for a bit, moisture gets on my rotors and then i'll have to brake a few times to rid of the sound. It's really annoying, especially when you have heaps of neighbours around and you leave the house before most people wake up. Any recommendations of what I could do? Cheaper the better, so obviously new rotors that are resistant to rust/corrosion will be last resort. Thanks guys in advanced Ben

    Ahh alright cool, thanks mate. Hopefully it doesn't come back then
