underlaying on jap scoobies
 

Does the jap scoobies need underlay coating to protect in from rusting??? or is it galvanized

thanks

Yeah Jap Imports need undersealed. It will cost you just under £100 to get done. I need to get mine done!

Waxoyle wont do any harm. Asking this question usually ends up with people squabbling about whats there. Im sure someone will state that JDM cars dont have any underseal; thats nonsense.

Yeah - bit of Waxoyl or some old engine oil (if you can get your hands on any...).

Incidentally, I thought that underlay was what carpets had beneath them....

Either that, or it's what Speedy Gonzalez shouts...:D

yep your right underlay is the spongy stuff you put under your carpet.

engine oil ???? does that really work ???? which grade :-)!!!!

Depends how high-revving your carpet is mate....:D

How often should it be done? Got mine done when I bought it ... do I need to worry about re-doing it any time in the next few years?

on the topic of engine oil which grade and brand is good all rounder for wrx/sti???
mobil 1, Castrol??

Most people reckon Mobil 1 in its usual grades is too thin for a Scoob turbo engine. Plenty of archived stuff if you have a bit of a search mate.

Many main dealers seem to use GTX semi-synth. :)

5w 30w ???

Some dealers used to use 5W 30, but IIRC there was a Subaru UK bulletin a couple of years ago indicating that this was considered too thin.

10W 40 seems to be a consensus, though there's plenty of alternative wisdom around on here.... :Whatever_ :D

Lubrication answers here...

Engine Oil, that's a new one on me.

So you put engine oil up under the wheel arches (where most of the water goes), it drips onto your tyres......and whollop, the first corner you come to
send's you into oblivion !!!!!!:iamwithst

Nah, i'll give that a miss .:Whatever_

i use cheap min oil and change it every 3 thou no probs yet sti 5 :)

doh its not the kinda link I imagined :norty: :D


yet still full of useful information to keep your loved one protected on those long cold mornings :D

I have to agree with Punkie. Harry_Boy that was a stupid suggestion. You know what a newby on here will go and do after buying their bargain scoob for sub £4k. ;)

Yeah, but when they're upside down in a ditch, it'll be easy to prove that there's no rust on their wheel arches.... ;) :D

:D :D
