WRX 2.0

Having a bit of trouble with hoses... COM port goes to wastegate? NC to pressure side of turbo? NO goes atmosphere? Then block off old line from manifold... and old line from just after AFM...??? I\'m so confused... All i know, is the way i have it now, it ain\'t working! I have NC to line just after AFM, then COM to wategate and pressure side of turbo, tee\'d off to them both... only running wastegate spring pressure at moment of 1bar.

Lame! steal a GT badge... I got subaru logos, bilstein badges, even an FIA Limited edition badge of a WRX, but sorry, no GT ones...

Interesting... Can i just send him a diff and get him to fix it? Might ring them after Easter. Possum Bourne Motorsports said i can send it to them too and they diagnose whatever issues it may have and go from there. 2 options now, that's great!

Had my car jacked up on the weekend trying to get the diff out. Tried turning one wheel, turned for a small amount, then wouldn't turn anymore. May be just slack in the drivetrain? I've got a diff out of a V4 i think, or V3, don't know if it will fit, looks a bit smaller... Just borrowing it, so no biggie if it doesn't. Tried undoing some bolts underneath, FAR OUT! Those suckers aren't going anywhere! I'm going to need some giant ass power bar to get anything done!

Tried the handbrake trick today, no difference... Does this confirm the rear diff??

Interesting... so what you're saying is i should try parking at the mall with my handbrake up?! HAHA! CAN DO!! Alright, i will try that. Sucks the DCDD diffs aren't serviceable... I wonder if anyone has tried cutting one open and tried servicing. It's so hard to diagnose, except PBMS in auckland of course... Knowing my luck, i'll do one diff, and it will be the other!!! Be brilliant if i could source another R180 and just try it. A lot easier than swapping a box anyway.

so jack it up, and try turning the axle with a torque wrench? Is that what you mean?

Mainly does it on deceleration into a corner, and accelerating out of a corner. Intersections, carparks, coming into driveway. It's a definite clunking sound, not a whinning sound or crunching sound like i have heard on some other cars. It makes the car move at the worse of times, almost like it's working normally, then half a wheel turn later, it's fully locked up and skips around the back wheels. Like it's "off" then a whopping clunk and it's "on" and locked up! It was the right type of oil, LSD oil, i double checked on that. I can't remember exactly what it was, i threw the bottles out. It was from redline which i was told is the best... DCCD is wound all the way back.

Hey team. I have a 1999 V5 Type R, and making some horrible noises in the rear diff. Seems to be binding and the slightest hint of cornering, but only at low speed. Seems ok at high speeds, well, unnoticeable anyway... I've changed the oil in it with expensive redline stuff, that quietened it down, but it's just progressively getting worse and worse... Few questions resulting here now; 1st, are they able to be rebuilt, how much roughly, by who (not the diff shop in papanui, TOO EXPENSIVE!), or is it able to be done at home? I have only seen one or two come up on trademe, so second hand seems to be out of the question, but not really into the second hand parts anyway... 2nd, being a daily driver, i don't want to veer away from the more reliable and quieter LSD diff, but what do people think of Mechanicals? I'm fairly stock, 300 odd HP, 17" wheels, don't really think it's needed... But it would be pretty cool mated with a dog box... HA! Dreaming... Any help is greatly appreciated. I want to get it sorted before winter, as it's my main source of transport up the mountain. Yes, i do boost it in sensational style up the road! I usually regret it when i get back to town and have to clean the bastard, but hey, that's what they're designed for, so YAY! ;D

the dippy type stick??!! haha! ;D You didn't ask for some 710 at the garage did ya??

Dam that sucks... I'm on my 2nd engine in 5 years. Missus ain't happy, i tell ya! All luck of the draw eh. You buy a shit one, you buy a good one. Nick the lucky bastard manages to rape his all day round a track, on numerous days, and it never misses a beat!
