LANCENEOMAN Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Right, Never owned a scooby before. I have a 2002 bug eye WRX and a couple of questions. When reversing, and you press the brake, there a clunk coming from the front somewhere, when going forward nothing. also, the accelerating the turbo, does whoosh slightly just making sure this is normal. Other than that I need a new disk on the rear but everything else seems fine. Just need a respray or wrap ,b ut want a cheap good job doing really if anyone knows anywhere in the Midlands. cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 it could be a number of things, top suspension mount worn, worn bush on the lower arms somewhere, possibly the differential settling with change of direction. wrt the disc - I would replace them as a pair unless the other one is nearly new but, what I would ask is why there has not been even disc wear on both sides - it could indicate seized piston in the caliper which has caused the brake pad to be constantly dragging on the disc??

Scooby Pete Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The clunk could also be the brake pads moving, they will move upwards in the caliper when reversing and can make a klonk noise. As Jay said replace both Discs at the same time. As for the turbo they are not normally that noticable unless you have an induction kit fitted, then you can hear the air whoosing in to the system. pretty sure a few others will be along with thier 2 pence :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Nice one Pete I forgot the pad slap one if you are worried about the turbo noise make a short video and post it or compare it to vids on you tube etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBosh Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 If you've not had a turbo before even the quietest whoosh is foreign at first Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCENEOMAN Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 ive had a few turbo cars, and you could hear them all slightly its not really bad i think tis coming from the dump valve to be honest. there has been work done on a seized caliper so im going to replace both and pads and replace the front pads, all with Brembo pads and discs as they look more on the low side.

Jay762 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 when it comes to finishing the car - paint job or wrap - cheap and good don't tend to go hand in hand. these chaps are in Cradley might be worth a conversation http://www.marksautobodies.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I would say it's all normal mate but can understand the worry. Does it have a dump valve or it is the turbo spool you can hear :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCENEOMAN Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 it does have a forged dump valve. (want a new one) I know they dont jay, but i dont want to spend more than the cars worth to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Oh ok I'd say it's that then mate. I did see you wanted a HKS one so wasn't sure :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LANCENEOMAN Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 just found out its had a snorkus mod done on it. the owner bough a part from eBay for £60. Been told thats why I can hear the turbo more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 new one on me - what is a 'snorkus' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Yeah I've not heard of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 ok so I just googled that one and it looks like it refers to the resonator feed into the filter box having holes cut in it - is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LANCENEOMAN Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 not sure, its a part hes bought for it. looks like a certain airbox modification but without cutting or drilling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I know Matt modded his airbox to allow cold air straight in from below the filter - no cost but I don't know if it increased the induction noise at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
