New guy worried about coolant system

Recommended Posts

Hi, literally joined the forum tonight.

I bought myself a 2001 Impreza STi Wagon not too long ago and i'm scared i'm going to blow my engine soon.

I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for someone who could have a look at my coolant system for me, as I have no idea what i'm doing

Cheers

I would suggest Crowesport as an option, one of the guys here works (CS name crowesport) for them, maybe PM him about what you are worried about. As has been asked before: what are you worried about? does it run hot/leak/spew out coolant/not have any?

i got a full pre-purchase car check through crowes.... they didn't pick up that the header tank was half empty...not reassuring seeing the issue of this thread lol

It's a Subaru. We live in a constant state of paranoia. It's the joys of loving Subbies, kinda like having a supermodel girlfriend I imagine- screwing it constantly but wondering when she's gonna go lol :D

Haha pretty much. I think they're just as reliable as any other vehicle really. Just gotta follow the old saying, look after it and it'll look after you. Regular scheduled maintenance, regular checking of oil and coolant levels, etc. I think too many people buy into what is really a 10 - 20 year old peformance car, do no maintenance and then ***** about it when it breaks down after stomping the go pedal too hard and too often.

Like people who complain about weak gearboxes - they're an AWD vehicle and the power they produce has to go to all four wheels. It's not like a FWD or RWD where you can easily break traction with enough power. Power to all four wheels dumped at 6k RPM is going to destroy something eventually. Somethings gotta give right?

I figure as long as you do your maintenance and know the limitations of the vehicle you're driving you'll be golden 95% of the time.

      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
