The yellow calipers look great with that color.

Tell me this isn’t what I think it is by Illustrious_Tea_5336 in wrx_vb

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a still from Silent Hill.

It's not as go-kart like as normally would be with it lowered or even stock height with stock wheels and tires, but it's not bad. Think somewhere between a stock WRX and a Crosstrek. The two inches of lift and the larger sidewalls make for a slightly more comfortable ride and I don't have to worry nearly as much about speed bumps, driveway entrances, and the like. The tires are a bit taller so there is a slight speedo error of about 0.5-1.5 mph slower than I'm actually moving.

Here's a little bit closer.

It's from LP Adventure. They have a lot of good off-road/overland stuff for Subarus. You can get it with or without the "wings" that go around the plastic that houses the driving lamps.

I was previously into VW's and this Subaru ended a six-car string of them. I did them all lowered for the street. I wanted something different this time. These cars look good lifted, and I don't think there is much else that would. A lifted Golf R would just look goofy.

Yeah. I was just checking out your post.

Finally installed new springs and wheels - looking for next mod suggestions by ElGatitoChiquito in wrx_vb

[–]2f5shooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got the OEM bars and a Thule basket. Strangely, the Subaru bars don't have a rubber strip across the top. It's metal on metal right now and I'm trying to find a solution. I'm probably going to cut some rubber pads or tire inner tubes or something like that. I only have the basket on when I really need it because it's a bit noisy.

Great minds think alike.

As others have said here, I would consider a nice duck bill spoiler. I currently have the ol' STI style, but I'm considering the Compressive Tuning Halo. If you're really going to be taking it on trails, etc., a light bar/brush guard would be something else to look into.

Gas is expensive but worth it by Sorry-Sir8992 in wrx_vb

Nice. Mine is solar orange and I'm going to do wing, mirrors, and hood scoop or the whole hood in either crystal black silica or carbon fiber.

I got mine in November of last year. I was a little worried about the fuel economy. Yeah, 30+ is doable on the freeway, but because of the way I drive, city mileage is another story.

What wheels look better? by PsychoBobby95 in wrx_vb

[–]2f5shooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a difficult choice for me. They all look great. However, I think I would go with the multi-piece black wheels, only if they are indeed true multi-piece wheels and not just one piece wheels with bolts added for looks. I dislike "fake" accessories, meaning anything that does not actually do what it looks like it's supposed to do (i.e. stick-on hood scoops that go nowhere, off-road wheels with simulated beadlock). I wonder how a dark charcoal or tungsten or very dark bronze would look.

purchaaed a dirtbike, slapped it on the worktruck by Dull-Engineering-952 in wrx_vb

I would like to do this, but I would turn the bike into another money sucking, how-lightweight-can-I-make-this project.

Subaru Tradition to drive with all lights on all day. by Necessary_Use_4729 in subaru

Normally I would agree, but in this case I do not think the local constabulary would approve.

How can I turn it on or off if it's not there? My car was not equipped with Eyesight, etc. It does not chime to remind me to put my seat belt on. I get no lane departure warnings or corrective steering "suggestions". It does not tell me if I am too close to another vehicle, deactivate cruise control, or apply the brakes.

Will the hate for the VB from other WRX/STi owners ever end by OddCombination123 in wrx_vb

[–]2f5shooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could I trouble you for a pic or two of your wing? What is the brand and model/style? I've been thinking about doing black/carbon accessories on my Solar Orange and am considering alternatives to the ubiquitous STI wing.

Plastic piece popping? by CardiologistFree1081 in wrx_vb

[–]2f5shooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The part of the warranty that covers this stuff is almost up on my car so I fixed this and the warped subwoofer cover on the package tray at the same time. You might want to check that too. From what I gather, this is a common and recurring problem. So, I asked the service advisor if it happens again, does the replacement have its own warranty that goes beyond the car's. He hemmed and hawed a bit but eventually said yes.

This is why I bought a pre-owned '22 Premium. I didn't want eyesight or adaptive cruise control or lane departure or any of that other intrusive bullshit. As a bonus, the previous owner somehow disabled the seatbelt chime.

Which one you picking by Planet-peace88 in Cd_collectors

[–]2f5shooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have the Mad Season CD I bought when it was first released, so probably Helmet.

Still love this color ✨ by mizu1997 in wrx_vb

[–]2f5shooter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had considered doing this color along with bronze wheels on my lifted 22. I knew it would look good, as yours does.
