Hey Guys – I’m Luke and this is the SubaruONLY Channel! It’s a Subaru DIY / How-To channel that’s dedicated to providing home-based Subaru Enthusiasts with great YouTube content focused on these TOPICS:
✔️ Subaru Tech Tips,

———– 🔹 Origin of the SubaruONLY Channel 🔹 ———–
I started this channel to share my passion for BUILDING and RACING Subarus! These cars and their engines are truly amazing and are one of the most versatile and reliable platforms in the automotive industry (IMHO 😁). Not only that, but they have always done it with a style that is totally unique and all their own! That, and the fact that these cars make GREAT race cars, and I was sold from day ONE!

I love these cars…I have for many, many years and I’ve owned many, many models (although I have to admit, I have become a bit partial to the older Subies, as they just have SO much damn character!). I’ve also been fortunate enough to have the opportunity be get involved in a wide range of Motorsport competitions. From the Baja 500/1000 races, to competing in circle track races, to RallyX, and sand/paved drag racing – It’s been an awesome journey so far and I just wish I started documenting it all sooner! As my DAD would have said, “There’s NO time like the present my boy – Get your ASS in gear and make it happen!”

Hey the pinging sound is the same as in a carburetor engine when the ignition timing is too retarded like the discs slapping , what do you think could cause this and what could be the best approach to resolving this issue
