I found out yesterday from visiting a website I read from time to time.
http://www.powerlabs.org/jdmsubaru.htm
At the top it says "severe rod knock" and links to a video. If you get that video. That's the exact noise my car made at the track... it makes a far worse noise now.
And on another page he say "With under 200 miles to go to 80K my engine spun a piston rod bearing." Which is what one of the guys at the track told me it probably was. And he's apparently correct.
But yeah, I hear that all the time from people, that it's very odd for a Subbie to die so young. One of the guys at the track had his $600 Legacy wagon with some 400k km on it I think, and he drove the sh** out of it. He'd bought it off someone on the forum, who previously tracked it. And it's still going.
So it must just be a maintanence thing, previous owner of mine perhaps didn't do it, he maintained the body VERY well, but perhaps not the engine.
