  1. ^ Back from the dead! Also an update from me, my growling went away after I replaced my clutch and had to remove the driveshaft to drop the transmission. Perhaps I relieved some kind of factory slack, alignment, or bolt torqueing issue? I *think* I tightened up everything back the same, but I did not use a torque wrench. (Yes, I've checked the bolts repeatedly since) No growling for 2 winters now.
  2. I plan on ordering from a US vendor so I won't have to deal with the company directly via Taiwan. The vendor is also running a sale 'til the end of this month on NASIOC. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2531796
  3. good to hear! i wonder how much that'll move back even if i dont spend the extra few hundred on the STS...
  4. Do you, by any chance, have any dyno charts or Power/Torque plots?
  5. subscribed! I'm nearing 100k and ready for my *preventative maintenance*
  6. FYI: Viscous [coupling] is a type of limited slip differential. As are helical gear, clutch type, and electromagnetic. The STI has a gear type (Torsen) rear diff, ours is viscous coupling.
  7. NICE! good to hear that it's going so well. Can't wait to see the final product. My previous offer to help still stands, I'd be glad to drive up from C'ville one of these weekends and help you out with a beta test/test install.
  8. WOW. from your videos, that looks to be some SPECTACULAR update speeds for the LEDs. Definitely no issue with digital "rate of change" information loss. I'm definitely interested in this.. I'm a short drive south of you in Charlottesville so if you need testing in another 06LGT 5MT. Lemmie know, I'm electronicallyand mechanically inclined and I'd be glad to take a trip up there and test this for/with you.
  9. hey just to chime in, i just found this thread and i'm an 06 owner up here in the north east that also experiences an annoying growling noise when i accelerate hard, especially in 1st gear under heavy throttle. in 2nd gear i can actually control when the growling starts by throttle position. all this is very prevalent in the cold that we get. very interested in this thread as it *seems* like i am getting less power to the ground with the growling, but not sure, i almost always react by reducing power
  10. i'm getting this growling noise too (more and more so as the gas prices go down ), do you guys notice loss off power when it happens? i was taking a hard right hander on to an empty onramp and i got that growl when i laid it out during the turn in second gear. As i let off the gas, the growling went away as expected and the car seemed to "grip" better and shoot off. perhaps i was experiancing a combination of wheelspin and growling? thats my first experiance with growling and hard turns... is something slipping internally? or was i just loosing traction?

  12. this mod only works on subaru boxer engines due to the exhaust manifold layout and the firing order of the cylinders? (not 100% on that last part). if you do it on the is350, you'll just end up with a ricey exhaust leak, not the boxer rumble
  13. 99% sure its a headgasket, had the same thing happen to a used 98 wagon we just got
  14. hrmmm interesting... stuff that the dealer put in after replacing the synchro on 5th really sucks on the 1-2 shift, this stuff good during the first few cold shifts too?
