    2002 WRX, catless straightpipe, I had just got my car registered today, and it was driving fine for a couple of hours before I had a sudden and extreme drop in power and boost. When it happened, there was no abnormal conditions in the car, no codes, nothing. The only thing that had even hinted...

    Hello all, I just finished putting back together my Wrx after doing a walnut blasting. It started but sounded like loud lifter tick or a valve hitting the piston. I’m hoping not the last option but when trying to restart the car it sounded like it has no spark or something sounds like it still...

    This is the first time this has ever happened to me but I'll try to explain it. It's a slightly hollow metal-on-metal kinda sound and it only happens when I rev. How bad could this be? I'm at a place where I'll be for about an hour and I just got here so please answer when you can. Should I...

    So basically in my 2016 WRX the bigend bearings got completely scrapped. After reaching out to people my two best options were to buy a new short block for cheaper but then spend loads on labor, or just buy a completely used engine altogether. I'm under the assumption that just buying a new...

    Car: 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX So I have found that my car is overheating while in idle due to the cooling fans not turning on when they are supposed to. I first noticed this after I replaced both the drive belts and topped off the coolant. I know it isn't the fan motor because when I turn the air...

    I recently found an '04 WRX for sale near me for $8k. It apparently has a spun bearing and I was wondering what the cost to repair that would be and if it's even worth the effort.

    Hi Everyone: I have a 2022 Premium 6MT. I went out for a highway drive: 25 miles each way. I got on it off/on during trip back home. When I arrived, I believe I smelled a hot oil/rubber possibly asphault odor from the car coming in through the heater vents. I checked around engine bay, and...

    Recently been having issues with my car not starting. Found that only the rear passenger spark was firing. Tried replacing the sparkplugs and coilpacks, checked the wiring and fuses to cover all the bases, and still not finding the problem beyond maybe the ECU. Was wondering if anyone had any...

    Hey all my beloved 2015 WRX seems to have gone out on me this week... Looks like there's a lot of great minds here and I'd like to pick them. I'm a little out of my depth on this one and could use any help or advice that you can spare. 2 days ago I drove my wrx for the first time in 1-2...

    Correct me if this is the wrong place for this post. I have a 2018 WRX. Over the past couple weeks I’ve been running into some issues after stage 2. AF will get to -51 and car will back fire and stall out occasionally. Also have seen some white smoke. I have cleaned MAF as well as MAP to no...

    Hi I am new here. I just learned of these forums after I have owned Subi's for decades thanks to my brother who also has owned a few. I do not want to sound like I do not want to do the work. I was on the RS forum and I asked a question and it came across as I just want someone to do the work...

    My 2017 sti is bone stock and my daily driver. Recently at about 65k miles i noticed stuttering and jerking at WOT above 4.5k rpm. I then replaced my spark plugs with oem NGK plugs (my old plugs turned white instead of black) and that didnt help. During the hesitation the check engine light...

    I have a 2018 WRX premium with 49k miles. I was looking into Turbo blankets and header wraps and was wondering if they’re actually effective and give results? And if so is a tune necessary for it? They claim it spoils the turbo quicker, while keeping the engine bay cooler, and heat soak to a...
