Yd03 nav

[Mikesaab]

Hia guys looking at buying a subaru reg yd03 nav wrx in black claimed to be fully forged and 330 bhp does any one have any info on this car or knowe the car thanks

What gearbox does it have?

[Mikesaab]

5 speed 

[Buggyeye]

PPG conversion? As the standard 5 speed wrx boxes are cr*p can hardly handle 220hp of abuse let alone 330. IIRC anyway

[Mikesaab]

Im interested in engine im concerned about how much of a knock it had was built by api in 2009 does any one have video of how theirs sound forged

[Buggyeye]

Someone will be along soon. But it will have a slight piston slap when cold. All forged engines do

[Mikesaab]

This one was very noticeable noise and put me off a great deal and im new to all the subaru stuff so thought id join and ask for advice knowe a lil bit but nothing about forged engines

[Buggyeye]

Fair enough  to my knowledge all forged engines will make a slapping sound when cold for a few mins. Due to the clearances. Sound will go away once warmed up
