Rapped bushes? Jack the front end up and move all the ball joints etc and see if you can notice anything that defently looks out of wack would be your best option - Almost impossiable to pin point something with the description given.

Just going to have to get underneath it and have a good look underneath.

My car does the same thing after going on dirt roads. I just clean the wheels out from all the dirt that builds up inside the rim which causes an imballance in the wheels give that a go

haha dont worry first thing i did when i got back to adelaide was gave the car a 6 minute pressure spray!!

My car goes up and down a dirt road daily....it's fine, other then not staying clean very long.

ahaha well this was weekend that the kadina show'n shine was on and it rained heaps so mud was everywhere b4 i washed back here...still has white along both sides of car, cbf cleaning the dust off... its had 2 washes and rain!!!!

Hrmm the dirt and small rocks must of rearrange your bearings around.. doesnt sound good, mayb just give it a clean out?

either that or just take the car to a reputable workshop and get them to check it out for ya mate

LOL Ive been super slack, the last time I washed my car was before I drove to Kadina lol. My Black Pearl Metallic R32 has splashes of Crystal White and Lightning Yellow on it :)

Maybe today is the day!

^^ haha it rains too often to bother cleaning it super, so meh... im meeting some guy on friday to see if he will swap his wrx sti for my 32 lol, hell probly say no :) but then i can start fixing the car up :D

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
