Ive been seriously debating getting tint for the longest time, but Id hate to cough up the $400 those Bastards quoted me! Some bs how for the rears it would cost me $150 but to tint the fronts would cost me an extra 250 because its "illegal". Ok done whining and ranting. :/

All shops around me are like this...except those ghetto shops with theyre "Any Car Tinted $100" specials those scare me especially since they're located in the sketchy part of town. But yea about the konis just get them man ive ridden in a friends car who has them and they handle great!

That's too bad :/ I would definitely hassle them a couple times, maybe try and get a buddies car tinted at the same time and maybe they will lower the price.

Sorry if this is the wrong spot for this, but I keep hearing a strange noise from my 08 impreza. It happens when im driving in second gear and bring it up to upper mid range of rpms ( like 4k at 15-20mph). When I let off the gas pedal and let the car deaccelerate the car makes a really strange vibrating buzz noise. Basically when ever I cost in a low gear, 1,2,3 gear it makes this ZZZZZZZEERRRRRR noise. I will let off the pedal and it will make the standard engine rev noise then mid way it makes the vibrating ZZZZZEERRRR noise then goes back to the regular engine noise. It sounds like it could be coming from transmission or differential. Car only has 38k miles on it.

Before you go throwing money at it, crawl under your car and knock on the exhaust system. If anything seems to rattle or resonate, throw a metal hose clamp around it. I still have a few rattles and buzzes, but that fixed 95% of them.

it maybe your heat shield, or your exhaust bolts are getting loose.

+1 for heat shield. If you have aftermarket exhaust it could just be really raspy too lol.

Yes, eBay, for sale thread, part-out thread, dealership.

Edit: No. 2010 STi was never a sedan.

Ok, I won't be a dick.

For the 2011 STi sedan, the spoiler mounts to the trunk. The trunk is the same across all the sedans from 2008 through 2013 regardless to narrowbody and widebody.


The reason why you're getting **** though is because what you want to do is pretty common.



Notice the lack of widebody.

I'm getting a clank in the front whenever I turn one rotation then return it to the original place. It was right after i got the coilovers raised.

Im guessing it is the front sway bar? It happened once to my rears before; it was because my rear sway bushings had no more grease.

Any other ideas or will that be the factor?

Well my koni's clunked when the shop that assembled them for me put the conical washer in the wrong place . Definitely check swaybars/endlinks and maybe tophats and/or knuckles where your coilovers are bolted in.
