Deekster Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Hi There, Well I have owned my Subaru Wrx wagon since November last year its been in a lockup over the summer while I have been using my skyline below. In the coming months ill be putting the skyline back in the garage for winter and putting the subaru back on the road. Really looking forward to it as well. Here is a picture of the subaru shortly after i picked it up... Im currently in the processes of replacing the rocker seal on the drivers side need to stop the horrible burning oil smell. The car needs a clean up the back arches have bubbled and need replacing and it has a really really annoying noise I hope someone could help me figure out what it is. Basically when you drive the car hard and come off the gas it dumps but then makes a really loud droaning noise its like a pppppscchhhhh bbbrrrrmmmm. lol The car has a bailey dump valve fitted and a cone filter all on the car when i got it. Has full stainless exhaust with no cats right from the turbo. Any ideas? Hope to possibly meet some of you guys soon. Deek

Gav Cheers bud yeah trying to keep it to the standards tosh had it. Showing its age a little now but fingers crossed a full respray over winter and a few more ponnies under the bonnet. Was wondering if it was wastegate chatter but you can even here the drone coming from the rear of the car out the exhaust. Nicknamed it the donkey wagon thats what it sounds like. I dont even know if its all correctly setup cars still quick...
