Rep point right there! It squeaked afew times but that's about it.
I encountered my first episode of that dredded vibration noise when driving in heavy rain last night... I'm glad I read about it briefly a few mths before I purchased the car... Or else I be scratching my head trying to figure out what the heck it was!!!
I did a bit of light reading last night, couldn't really find any posts with a solution to the problem other than bending the heat shield on the exhaust or adding extrators.
does ur car sound like a tractor, v8, a big deep drone noise ?? I use to have this problem when i had my stock header butted up to my aftermarket cat back. Read that alot of owners of dc5r and s had the same problem and when they changed their header the problem went away. Later on down the track i finally upgraded my header and i havent once had the problem arise.Quote:

*note to self: don't drive in heavy rain
The squeaks can come from 2 parts. The clutch release bearing and/or the fork pivot. My mechanic told me it ain't a serious problem.Quote:

I had similar squeaks with my Jazz.
I had this noise 2days ago when it was wet. Lasted for 10seconds only though. Maybe my engine mounts are starting to go?Quote:

I ve got this while there was heavy rain too! still could not figure out where the problem is, 2 times already, only happened on heavy rainy day. sounds like the exhaust was dragging on the ground and hitting something.Quote:
