That's it mate. I haven't even mentioned it's been dynoed 6 times which is also stressful on the engine.

If it is porked I have no one to blame. I think it has held up rather well considering.

Could have been the cold weather lately. Wouldnt be the first time a tuned up subaru let go because of giving it the berries on cold day.

Shit on the ground is fairly normal I thought. You should see my garage floor (turn-down tip exacerbates it 20 fold).

First time in five years I have seen that come out of the exhaust.

Turbos will also gurgle slightly on cool down. The coolant will flow naturally as it hits the core and rises up to the top reservoir. This keeps the cooling action happening even when the engine is off. I heard this noise as soon as I installed my current turbo and naturally panicked.

Gurgling noise has been there since the turbo was installed, it just seems much more pronounced now. It was more the way it performed that people have suggested it might be poked.

On a brighter note I am stoked with my new wheels.

Rota SVN 18 x 8.5 +40. Weight 9.5kg.

I wanted something that could almost pass for an oem wheel but fill the guards out a bit more. Stuffed my measurements up on the rears, I was out by a couple of mm, yep scrubbadubdub. The fronts flew in with ease.

Nek minnit Des from AutoFX is rolling my rear guards.

Running -3 degrees camber at the front and -2.1 at the rears.
Tyres are 245*40 Ad08's.



Got stance bra, fail.



OP awaits the pwrx of old coming at him.

Those Rotas gave my eyes aids bra.
Those Rotas will give you aids bra.
Why didn't you pull those guards and squeeze another two inches in there mofo.

I thought about that for bringing down the race tyre costs but having eight interchangeable wheels is pretty handy sometimes.

I have struggled to get something that will clear the brembos and sit under the rear arches without modification

Gone with a 17x9 and 35 offset in a Rota titan.

will still use my 18" until I have worn them out
