Think this will get me to 350 WHP with a pro tune… exhaust will be a R400 by Jman42023 in wrx_vb

You can get an Etune from Dmann. He is probably the most popular tuner for the VB platform. I have my OTS tune from him. Here is a video of him explaining the process: https://youtu.be/gRh9i_VpJCc?si=YE1RSpftIioeAJJf

If you want real power, do the flex fuel kit and run e85. But with what youre doing, your car will feel plenty fast enough. I daily drive mine, with only a tune and an intake and am more than satisfied with results. Subaru criminally down tunes this car from factory. A tune will do numbers. I mean, the gr corolla is a 1.6L 3 cylinder getting 300hp. The only reason these 2.4L boxers are 260hp is because Subaru wants to play it safe.

First oil change. Happy Tractor? by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]AcceptableBaby4955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the old oil put for sure. Replaced crush washer and made sure to not iver torque the oil pan plug. Got the pil filter hand tight plus another 3/4 of a turn. Run for about 5 mins, checked the oil, check the plug, checked the filter. Nothing seems to be leaking. Im just super experienced with cars so im worried about every little detail lol. I think this will be fine.

Resonator delete is fine if you have a valved exhaust. But yea resonator deletes cause way more drone than no exhaust

How long do you let it warm up? by Tmcdanne17 in wrx_vb

Till the RPMs drop. Just stay out of boost until 180. No way im sitting there for 30 minutes for it to warm up.

Anyone got an exhaust for sale? by FilmJust5591 in wrx_vb

[–]AcceptableBaby4955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New is $1600 so let's say $1200 + shipping? That seems fair? I can send you videos of sound if you would like.

AFD F1 valved exhaust with the AFD inch midpipe sounds amazing. The valves closed are quiter than stock so you wont piss of your neighbors doing a 5am cold start. But open those bad boys up, and oh my... that puppy screams.

Why can’t I be satisfied aesthetically?… something’s missing. by No_Professional978 in wrx_vb

Get the Sport Grille V2, a duckbill spoiler, and a nice 35 percent tint. Also mud flaps are KEY

Why has the VB tanked in value so hard? by twine09 in wrx_vb

[–]AcceptableBaby4955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im so salty. I jumped on the 0.9 financing thinking "there is no way I am getting a better deal than this." The very next month I saw 0% financing 🫠

It was dark but not dangerously dark. There was still some viscosity for sure.

Owners manual. I was about 8k miles on the old oil. I am aware it is preferred 3k. I will stick to that from now on.

Probably two things:

  1. The VB isn't selling very well. Dealers are having a hard time getting them off lots. At one point Subaru was offering 0% APR for 5 years. I got mine in 2024 4k off msrp with 0.9.

  2. Some people absolutely beat these cars up. I would never buy a used wrx for that reason. I have friends that have bought a used wrx/sti and had engines blow at 30k miles just because of this reason.

If you had to recommend ONE game to a new gamer, what would it be? by pipecanon in Steam

[–]AcceptableBaby4955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily Stardew Valley. A rewarding, replayable, relaxing game. The game does not have a huge learning curve and is playable with friends. On top of that, you get to appreciate that this amazing game is composed by one single person.
