Noise from Hawkeye STi when decellerating
Hi all,
I'm quite new here and have had my Spec D since April '10. I am completely new to the Subaru world and have a question regarding a noise my Spec D makes:
When decellerating, particularly in 2nd/3rd gear (just to clarify clutch out, in gear, no brakes) there is a noise and the only way I can describe it is like braking with really worn pads, almost like a rubbing/grating noise. The car has done 63k, full Subaru history and been well looked after with no modifications. What I'm after is whether this is completely normal? I have never had a Subaru before or a 4wd car so am not sure if this is something that needs looking at or a trait of the car.
Thanks in advance. I have tried searching the boards but nothing answers my question.

It seems to be more noticeable at lower speeds (maybe the engine noise drowns it out at higher speeds?) There doesn't appear to be any vibration at all, just a noise which I can only liken to braking on really worn pads.

I have an 06 Hawkeye WRX, I experience the same thing, but mainly in 5th gear. My car has covered 45k and I've put this noise down to gearbox wear/gearbox on the way out. I have a 50 mile cross country commute at 2am or 4 am, 5 or 6 days a week and I really drive the car hard.

there was a post about this on nasioc, (like a noisy bearing kinda sound on overun), i get this in 2nd on my '07 wrx, i tried one of their tips which was front tyres 4psi more than rears, (35f, 31r in my case) and this signifcantly reduced it, although did not eliminate it. So it must be a diff issue. I'll see if i can find the link.

Wasn't planning on doing anything about it apart from keeping the car well serviced. I'll worry about it when the gearbox drops out...
I figured I can't possibly drive the car as hard as I do and not expect mechincal noises/failures

23 seconds on...mine was silent until uprated clutch and lightweight flywheel. Yours could well be standard but these noises are common to a greater or lesser extent in subarus and mostly noticed when lightening the flywheel.

Yeah I was thinking that but I have 1 years Subaru warranty so want to make sure it is spot on before that runs out. Wouldn't want something to break when it runs out that could have been fixed during the warranty.
