#12 of 241 RPM at 80MPH by path4 Jun 05, 2006 (1:21 pm)
Hi, Can anybody tell me what is the RPM when driving at 80mph? This is my crusing speed as I have a long commute. I just hope it is not too noisey. Thanks!

i have an hour-long commute also. 5th gear and 80 mph - not too noisy by my standards, as long as the CD player is running - loose approximation is 3100 rpm. my wrx is bone-stock.   hope this helps!
#14 of 241 Some Quick Calcs... by ed_scott0013 Jun 07, 2006 (11:25 am)
I made a little RPM calculator spreadsheet in Excel a while back (I was bored and had some car mags to compare to), and after searching for the 5MT gear ratios, I came up with around 3143 RPM at 80 MPH (approx 128.7 KM/H) based on the following specs:   Wheel/Tire -> 17" Wheel with 215/45R17 Tire Fifth Gear -> 0.738:1 Final Drive -> 3.9:1   But, obviously, real life doesn't necessarily reflect the calculations, so on the safe side I'd get more first-hand numbers.   Edit: Wow... maybe the spreadsheet is accuate after all.
#16 of 241 replaced furl lines,,wont start by frateshaker Apr 30, 2006 (8:58 am)
I replaced fuel lines on my 93 Impreza,due to rotten lines,now darn thing wont start. Had to chisel hole in floor to check lines on top of tank. Is there some kind of fuel shutoff switch,that i might have triggered on it? Chiltons book doesnt cover this problem,, Replies to this message: mutty122 (Mar 05, 2008 9:10 am) ateixeira (Mar 05, 2008 9:16 am)
#19 of 241 New Sub Impreza 2.5i engine noise annoying by cabsoob Apr 13, 2006 (6:47 pm)
Have a 2006 Impreza 2.5i sportswagon with about 25M km with an engine noise that sounds like a beat up lawnmower. This occurs on cold mornings when starting the car and last for quite some time. Any idea why this is occuring? Is this common for a boxer engine? Replies to this message: ateixeira (Apr 14, 2006 7:08 am)

Replying to: cabsoob (Apr 13, 2006 7:47 pm) You may have a loose heatshield or something, I'd let the dealer have a look at it to be safe.   -juice
