spray the belt with crc while its going, spray till it stops squealing. if you spray the belts individually you will know which one is noisy. spray em before you change anythung

suparoo, i reckon your ranking is right on, wax isnt a better option than a properly functioning water pump and intercooler set up. subii was asking on another post about not wanting to put a scoop on the bonnet and cause he had air con, he didnt want to put another radiator up front. i suggested th...

there are a few criteria for this to work, if you read the article. the biggest hurdle perhaps for a subaru is underbonnet temps of less than 50c, measured where the intercooler will sit. i havent measured temps on mine, but i reckon it would be hotter than 50. and of course the more boost and the h...

you dont use a pump or front radiator, just the intercooler in a box full of wax, or maybe the water intercooler ex-liberty sealed and filled with wax. on boost temps above 50c (pre intercooler) will begin to melt the wax but the thermal mass of the solid wax will absorb the heat therefore cooling t...

a guy called julian edgar was the tech guy for zoom mag few years ago. he suggested to fill a water intercooler with a substance that melts at a higher temp than say 70 degrees to use as a heat soak. on the road when cruizing the air through the cooler will cool the thermal mass and keep it a solid....

the pisons have square profiled seals and they deform when the brakes are pressed, when brakes are released the seals attempt to return to a square profile and this assists in the retraction of pistons, also the disc runout pushes the pistons back in their bores. things that inhibit this process are...

first you need to find out weather its front or rear wheels and all or some. after driving feel which rims are hottest. maybe sliders on front brakes are scored or dry/rusty. maybe rears are full of muck. maybe flexi hoses are flaking on the inside. you need to do more research. after driving jack e...

depends on the scratches, but start with a wet and dry p600 ish. work finer till at p1200 or p2000 then the mothers polish. use hair spray to put a protective layer on it
