What’s up people. Hope everyone is well!
Needed some advice any help much appreciated.


Got my eyes on a blobeye Scooby. The only thing holding me back is famous bottom end knock. Is there any way of stopping from happening? maybe upgrading oil pump or getting a Baffle plate. Would that cure the problem?


Or should I buy a evo? loll

What famous bottom end knock?

Sounds like a troll.

You boys haven't been on the scene too long then have you.

The now infamous bottom end rumble, isn't something that Newage engines are known for, but it was something that happened on the earlier Classic engines.

Of course you can experience this issue on the Newage engine, but it's not a common issue and by and large, the Newage engine is probably the strongest Impreza engine ever used. They are cracking.
