Dumb Question Thread!

Recommended Posts

After taking the beast away for a week and racking up close to 1000km. The gearbox is noticeably noisier. When in reverse it\'s sounds like it should but way louder. All other gears you hear the whine when you take the foot off accelerator.

I checked the fluid level before I left and it was perfect and seemed to be in good knick.

Any ideas on why this could be?

I\'m sending it in for an oil/filter change this week. So going to ask them to flush and change fluid in the gearbox and rear diff at same time. Hopefully this might help clear the noise.

(I\'ve got my eye on a dccd box - do this could be a good excuse to upgrade)

Also car is a 97 wrx gf8 sti. With 163000k on the dial

My box got a bit louder before it exploded. Could just be getting worn out

/quote]will change the fluid and see if that helps.

Haha it did take a beating tho. Redline shockproof is the goods. Unsure about Subaru stuff tho, have heard good things about Penrite

Is it worth buying specific polish for doing lights and other plastic stuff or is standard paint polish just as good?

Polish is polish, buy some 3000 grit wet sand paper and sand the lenses. Don\'t sand them dry keep it wet then give them a mean polish with some cutting compound. Not that junk shit you get in a tin from repco either

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
