BAGPIPES AT 120 MPH+I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT NEEDS ADDRESSING;
LOOKING AT A PREVIOUS POST THIS A COMMON PROBLEM! EVERYONES EXPERIENCING A LOUD HUMMING NOISE IN MEDIUM TO HIGH WINDS AT ABOVE 100 MPH (SPEEDS VARY) IVE JUST COME OUT OF AN STI-8 INTO MY WR1 & NEVER HAD BAGPIPES WITH THAT (ITS EXACTLY THE SAME CAR!)!!!!!!!!! GOT ME THINKING, THE ONLY PHYSICAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO CARS ARE THE WHEELS/FOGS & THE MESH GRILL, SO DOES ANYBODY THINK THE CAUSE COULD BE FROM ONE OF THESE??? IN MY OPINION ITS A MAJOR DESIGN FLOOR & NEEDS TO BE SORTED!!! I HATE BMW'S BUT YOU'D NEVER EXPECT THAT KIND OF NOISE FROM AN M3!!!!!!! LOOK AT THE VALUE OF OUR CARS AS WELL, SOME PEOPLE WILL THINK OF ANY REASON TO DE-VALUE A WR1. I KNOW NOT EVERYBODY LIKES TO DRIVE AT THOSE SPEEDS A LOT BUT COME ON GUYS WE OWN THE FASTEST EVER IMPREZA, THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE SHOULD BE PERFECT!!!!!!!
I get bag pipes at 100 mate.
Im on the case as i speak. The most probable fix will be one of those trims that go over the 2 windows. Ive seen this on another WR1 at the Rolling Road. THE WR1 RR DVD http://www.scoobycity.co.uk/wr1/phpBB2/ ... highlight=
I've been around the 140 mark (private test track of course) and had no problem at all, at that speed my old classic was very noisy mainly from the rear windows, but nothing noticable at all with no. 12 ........sumo.
I always thought when it happened on my classic that it was air pressure building up on the inside pushing the windows outwards.
Yep i get the noises also!
I also had them on my sti8, mentioned it to the dealer but not a lot they could do as they cant test drive the cars at speed hehehe. So i live with it.
Spoke to IM and they say.. Because of the High Speed that this happens the Local dealer cant test it .
This i agree as i would not want my dealer going for 130 in a 60 So we have hit a Brick wall.. im sure something can be sorted. Ill keep you informed THE WR1 RR DVD http://www.scoobycity.co.uk/wr1/phpBB2/ ... highlight=
I got the Bag pipes on Sunday it was a bit windy i have to admitt,
But at the end of the day if this ole WR1 cant do it to the max,, why did we buy one ??? THE WR1 RR DVD http://www.scoobycity.co.uk/wr1/phpBB2/ ... highlight=
True, im sure the dealer will check it for me at the service.

BagpipesMy old WRX MY01 always did it at high speed.
Been up to 135 mph so far and no problems. I always thought it was the windows on the WRX Cheers Gooner
Had it to 140 on more than one occassion and regulary over 120 ,I dont have any probs. Not saying that there is not any noise, just nothing that i have noticed and troubles me.
Turn the radio up !, I changed mine and upgraded it, nice to have the choice of listening to the exhaust or some good music.
Maybe its due to Wind Direction and Air Pressure ?

I think it must be because mine did it at about a hundred today, along a bit of tarmac where i've not had any problems previously.
What if we took someone from the dealers out in the car with them as a passenger to show them when it happens?
Mines in the the Service on Saturday, im sure Chris, Richard or Mark would love a drive at 140+

130 and no noise out of the ordinary except for a passenger window switch that vibrates and do you think I can stop the Ba*tard thing, I'll have to put up with it till I upgrade the speakers when the whole lots got to come off...!
At least your ashtray doesn't constantly rattle and vibrate!
It's build quality boys, or lack of it!! It won't stop me buying another though.
Yes its the 5K Service, Cant believe how many miles ive done, it only gets used at the weekend as its not a commuting car.
THink ill Dial in 140 today just to double check the bagpipe situation. THE WR1 RR DVD http://www.scoobycity.co.uk/wr1/phpBB2/ ... highlight=
ha and you give me grief!!!!!!!!!! my ashtray DONT rattle at all.......... fell out months ago!
ya n00b......... your dashboard is plastic...... my car is fibreglass
Saw some Side Window covers on a WR1 today..
A Bllack strip that goes from the front window oveer to the rear. It stops all wind from getting under the glass Subaru dealers supply them as well THE WR1 RR DVD http://www.scoobycity.co.uk/wr1/phpBB2/ ... highlight=
Not sure but im going to find out though, as it will cure the bagpipes at 120 for sure
