Noisy engine under load
vic/se replied to vic/se's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI had that problem too, but it was doing it too when you're coasting, and it does'not do it now that's why I rule out the shields and I have very few left

Noisy engine under load
vic/se replied to vic/se's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI recheck the spark plugs and they all have a brownish color ....I do feel a very slight power loss. If I rev up engine up to 3000 or 4000 rpm it just sounds fine or when I release the gas on gear it sounds ok or on idle it's also ok. I will check timing belt like you say oil looks fine but I will change it soon

I saw these add GForce I guess where it braggs about 60hp and 3-5 mpg economy.... Those 60 hp would be more then welcome.

vic/se replied to nickolai's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYou sould open that bleeder bolt, to bring piston back, and then slide new brake pads. clean everything well don't over grease and don't grease everywhere....if you don't understand my point just look at a new car, and take you own conclusion good luck on you brake job

Speaking of rust ...
One weak place is rear wheel where rear bumper joins .....dirt collects in there. I don't know if it's easy to remove that rear bumper and clean up all and repaint everything. I think by doing that it could add a good 8years to the life of your sub even on snow belt areas... like here!
