So before I cave in n have to take my car to the stealership I figured I'd ask you guys first to see if anyone else had this problem. I'm at about 46k mi on the odo and have done all necessary maint'd up to date. When I'm driving in gear in 3-4th, I let off the accelerator and hear from the front of the car a sound that sounds similar to a loose belt (squeaking/squealing). I can't get it to do it 100% of the time and the noise isn't loud. If someone could point me in the direction of where i should check first? or things to check I'd greatly appreciate it. The stealership wants to charge me 125$ just to look at the damn car which is ****ing bs. I asked the san diego nasioc group on FB but 0 reply's.
Thanks in advance, steve |

Anyone know how to get the trunk unlock/gas door plastic piece removed from the driver carpet area? I unlocked it with my key and the plastic plate is off but won't pop out over the levers.
Any help would be appreciated, last step in removed my carpet! Edit- NVM, got it without taking that piece out. Carpet is officially out of the car, new carpet installed today and picking up seats on Friday. Complete interior transformation. Last edited by DownhillSubie; 01-30-2013 at 02:23 PM. |

@sellars21:
The seats and the "plastic" around the shifter are standard. The 2.0R acropolis is, apart from the engine, similar to the WRX. |

+1 on that. The only mods that I have so far as far as suspension/ handling is a rear 19mm swaybar (front 22mm not installed yet), and 17x8 wheels with 225-45 tires. It has made a pretty big difference in the body roll even without the front sway bar installed yet, and the wider tires help with overall grip.

Yea I just lowered my car last weekend, and I love it, it took a lot of the body roll away; and also if you want to take a lot out, you should also buy a strut bar or sway bars

235's are the recommended size I'm pretty sure and the stock size of the Wrx tires. However on a 8" wheel I would take the 245's any day lol. |
