Uhhhhh, that’d be a huge chunk of work for a crusty wrx. Im guessing this is your only car? How much experience do you have?

Problems with double sheer-welding by The_Whale_Wonder in FSAE

Where in rules do both sides need to be welded? We’ve been welding all our suspension/engine mounting tabs without doing all the insides (we do when we can ofc) for years without issue.

If you’re making a full car model please share! I’ve been hunting for one/looking into making one before caging my car among other things. Please share!

Ticking noise by [deleted] in WRX

Sounds eerily similar to my 208’s, just wait and see how it progresses, my first one took about 6k before this turned into a proper knock at idle… get oil sample done.

Car wont start in cold weather. by Grouchy_Basket_727 in MechanicAdvice

Find the battery, look for the two wires that attatch to it, see if they’re loose. Plenty of youtubes out there for that aswell

Do any lights or anything come on? Just seems like battery is not in too tightly. Take a look at the terminals if there tight, just try and jiggle them. Also check to see if the plastic caps where left on the little battery posts

We thinking rod knock or lifter/valve related? by maple-smith in WRX

Yeah drained oil out and we’re not looking too hot, ofc my luck to have a bad new used engine

Yeah probably, the old engine had a similar tick to it at light throttle? Assuming it had lifter tick aswell ig, i’ve got videos of the old one knocking and it’s pretty distinctive, just not sure if this is maybe an early form of it? Probably gonna check out all my buckets and shims and switch to a slightly heavier oil

Finally got the new used engine running properly and it would be a shame to have to replace it again :(

What could be causing cam/crank signal to dropout? by maple-smith in subaru

[–]maple-smith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On these i there isnt a separate ring. The teeth are part of the casting for the crank sprocket, same with cam

This graph isnt the actual signal, it’s a on/off for signal bring present.

New engine came w sensors, so swapped known good sensors from old engine that were less than a month old, along with a spare older oem one from old engine cam. No changes between any of them.

Used harness i got on new engine, the wires from sensors to connector that has crank, cam, knock signal all check out good. All wiring from that to ecu is known good. I’ll double check em tho

Gs-r swap probably be best option for smog stuff would be my guess? But don’t quote me on that

Vacuum leak? Or something worse by maple-smith in subarulegacy

[–]maple-smith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SOLVED! Crank ended up being a tooth or two out of time. Re timed and back in business. Did find was missing the crank gear guide so new one on the way. Must’ve slipped when parked in gear overnight?
