eadwine 1 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Hi guys! for one moment, I thought there weren't any RS drivers around anymore =( Newbie RS driver here. 1) Do you guys tune your RS? 2) Does it get noisy in the boot area, particularly the styrofoam part where the spare wheel is? 3) Do you guys take out your spare wheel to lighten the car?

eadwine 1 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Collecting my RS soon Cool! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lancified 6 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 1) Yes I tuned mine, engine + gb2) My car is super silent, can only hear sound of tyres3) Nope, tried taking it out but FC remains the same, so I left it inside for emergency. Anyway spare wheel less than 10kg, driver + passengers each lose 1-2kg can cover already, good for health too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin613 6 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 1) No tuning, bone stock. 2) Didnt notice noise, probably because i'm always in the driver seat. anyway i have additional layer of "carpet" material over the whole boot, guess that'll help. 3) Never remove, spare tyres are there for a reason. I bought a stem valve extension so it's easier to check the pressure without having to remove the whole spare.

eadwine 1 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Last night I realised that the spare tyre wasn't bolted onto the boot *it only took me 1 week to realize =)*, the wheel was basically moving about the boot area hitting the styrofoam *hence the squeeky noise* Kevin613 - What do you mean by additional layer of carpet?? Got pic to share?FC seems pretty bad, didn't know what the previous owner did to the car. Getting about 6.5-7km per litre =( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin613 6 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Sorry, boot mat is probably the better word (PVC coil mat cut to fit the boot) I'm getting about 7.5L/100km - 11L/100KM depending on right foot, which translate to about 9-13.3KM/L.Manual Transmission Last night I realised that the spare tyre wasn't bolted onto the boot *it only took me 1 week to realize =)*, the wheel was basically moving about the boot area hitting the styrofoam *hence the squeeky noise* Kevin613 - What do you mean by additional layer of carpet??

Manual Transmission Looks like its time to get it checked by some Subaru workshops. Any Ubi ones to recommend? (Thanks in advance!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lancified 6 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 mine is about 10-12L/100km, which is about 8-10KM per L, depends on highway or small road. driver state is almost always in monster mode. Auto GB FC problems, give your car a one time full servicing EO/gear oil/transmission oil/air filter/oil filter/new plugs - dont believe the dealer when they say they have changed, clean TB, reset ECU, then drive around in 2 full tanks for the car to learn your driving style. On your 3rd tank you should see better mileage. If not, then you have more problems such as bad o2 sensor, clogged fuel filter, or a bad tune. these are generally harder to diagnose.

Kevin613 6 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 also, the boot noise will probably be more obvious on hatchback. Mine's a sedan, so not noticeable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eadwine 1 Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Im guessing its the styrofoam blocks at the cargo area that is squeaking most of the time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
