My clutch was squeaking but I haven't noticed it squeaking for a while now.

I read somewhere that it's the spot welds on the firewall coming apart. Kind of an issue.

Yeah it starts when its usually cold out or you haven't started your car for a while. The sound for me occurs when I first initially press the clutch in and a few inches going in the opposite direction of releasing the clutch. The thread I linked has a lot of people mention the same problem, symptoms, etc.

Lemme know how it goes. I had the same issue a month ago but a lil lube made the problem go away for me. Probably shoulda taken it in.

I hope they will at least look in that area, especially since the noise goes away sometimes

You mean you eliminated your axle back exhaust? How does it sound? Is it really loud?

i never had a axle back lol. i had the stock catback single tip. all i really did was take out the insanely large 2nd resonator. I still have the cat in the front and the resonator. It sounds nice, although it'll never be like the low rumble, theres is still enough rumble to satisfy you imo. And the occasional crackle and pop come out which i love

you'll notice the rumble a lot more when you reach 3k rpm, there is droning but music can drown it out easily. And by the time you reach 70mph+ it disappears. and yes you can talk and hear each other while you accelerating Lol

STi spoiler is on! Pictures tomorrow!

But my next problem is that I ended up losing two bolts.



It's the ones that are in the circles. They're gone into another galaxy and I have no idea how to get them out. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Taking it to the dealership for my 30,000 mile maintenance today..

Not getting small stuff like cabin air filter or engine air filter.. but getting pretty much everything else done. They keep saying it needs a coolant flush.. my manual says it has 100,000 mile Subaru blue super coolant though.. So that's BS I think.

If you are skeptical of your mechanic I always find it is best to go with your gut. Get a second opinion and try to find another shop/service center. Has definitely saved me money and headaches in the past

They are actually pretty good. I've never had any complaints with them and I bought my car from them brand new.

They are the major Subaru dealer in this part of the state (of NY).. but I think they might be trying to get people who don't know any better to replace their coolant when it isn't necessarily needed.. but need to do a little more research before I can accuse them of that.

You are probably using a mono aux cable, try a stereo one

I did that exact same thing!
Get a bright flashlight so you can pinpoint where the bolts actually are and when you may be getting them close to the hole. Get a long screw driver or a telescoping magnet? Also your best bet is to get it through where the brake light/windshield washier fluid tubes go b/c of the bigger hole.

Also, check that it's plugged in all the way on both ends. If your phone/MP3 player has a case, remove it and try.

Hey don't really know how I should pull those clips out inside my trunk to get to my trunk trim so I can take it out and paint it. I have a 4dr. Looks like they just get pulled right out? But seems like a lot if stress

If thats not the case it could be the connector on the car itself or the wire/connection behind it
