Well turns out the ticking is the boost control solenoid.. so on happy street now..
 
Next up is a DCCD Pro..

I'm so happy I was actually right!!! that was me on facey!
Curiously, why do you have aftermarket boost control?

[CodeBurn3r]

Because nothing on this car comes from Subaru Factory anymore haha

[Adam]

Hahaha fair enough

[vicelore]

HAHA yea.. my parts list of stuff that was replaced with new or aftermarket whilst it was in the shop is pages long..

 

The cut from japan came with aftermarket HKS stuff.. I just tossed it and put in brand new..

[Adam]

This will help to a degree...but not stop it.....look at how dampened the stock mount is

 

I just left mine with the stock rubbers bolted to the strut tower....ya wont hear it afetr a while...after i put a cai on i never heard it again lol

 

another sound i heard that i thought was my boost solenoid was my O2 sensor under the car had come loose...tightened this up and all was good

[MrSober88]

I have a rattle in my car also, when warmed up at idle it's more noticeable.

 

I would love to see this car one day, sounds mad!

Mine too that is crazy! and it sure must go like nothing else

[vicelore]

Goes pretty good mate.. Not the easiest car to drive tho. Its hard to get it off the lights as the clutch is touchy.

 

But once it gets going its pretty fast.

So had the engine numbers switched the other day.. all went well..

 

Had my father back for a few weeks from Thailand and hes been driving the suby around and has fallen in love with it. 

 

As a 60 year old guy he thinks its far too loud and has offered to buy me a new muffler and also the much needed DCCD Pro unit and  have both fitted for me.

 

Been shopping around for a new muffler ordered the Varex 3 inch oval with no tip.. I opted for this over the others as i have to drive up a driveway early in the morning past two town houses.. so I think this is gonna be the best bet.

 

In his spare time hes gone about detailing the car for a good 3 hours too so its super clean and polished.. 

 

Ill post up some pics when i get a chance !!

 

[vicelore]

Picked up my varex today and ordered my DCCDPro controller too.. should be here from the states in 10 days.

 

Then just gotta get it all fitted..

 

Opted for the standard buttons.. now to figure out where to fit them.
