    Bad wheel bearing?

    make sure it's not just the wear indicators on brake pads telling you you're behind the maintenance 8-ball once a wheel bearing is to the wobbly wheel stage, it's way past the wub-wub-wub noise anyway. I had a front bearing replaced on 05 rex wag at dealer under warranty, but outside warranty...

    ok I need a crash corse in subaru NA engines

    main problem with souping up suby NA engines is that the factory engineers have already done the easy stuff. there just isn't a lot more to be gotten out of em without expensive buildup--2.5 NA can't be easly stroked, stock cams are really hard to iimprove upon (aftermarket cams almost always...

    oOOooo! Lookie what I see!

    would have to check the rule book for exact factors, but yes, turbos add displacment according to equivalency factors, as does 4-valve cyl head, etc. basically, the current US rally formula limits a turbo 4-valve motor to 2.0 liters actual displacment, then makes it breathe thru a 34mm intake...

    Transmission problems

    sounds like you need to have a chat with the service manager, stat. anything YOU try to do now to repair or replace things just complicates negotiation with shop that actually did the work.

    2009 WRX

    it makes total sense to differentiate the 5MT WRX from the autobox ones, hence the IGT. The character of the cars themselves now matches the character of the owners 5MT -- row the gears your own self, performance uber alles (just not quite to STI levels) IGT -- all-around competence. IGTs will...
