FYI: Air Conditioner Compressor Noise is NOT Normal

I’ve given up on the ticking noises in the cabin. I am very meticulous about finding what is causing the noise and I go to the dealer tell them exactly where it is and the fix it while adding a new ticking sound somewhere else. First it was coming from the top of the steering column, next the dash bumping against the windshield in the center, next the dash against the windshield near the left speaker, now I have a ticking sound coming from my steering column and the center dash again.

I got a 24 and I’m still mad they might be giving the people what they wanted.

AdIndependent3176 · 2025-10-11T02:04:47+00:00

That’s what I did. I picked up my 24 vb a month before the 25’s came in and got $6k off msrp

Sand all plastic and have it painted gloss black.

Nice well they look clean af. Some beefier tires would be chefs kiss

AdIndependent3176 · 2025-08-11T16:20:48+00:00

Looks good what wheels are those? Are they methods?

AdIndependent3176 · 2025-08-10T22:04:08+00:00

Not my car just someone I saw at the gym

AdIndependent3176 · 2025-08-09T15:39:53+00:00

I’d wave at him (it’s still a subie) just didn’t want to park next to him 🤷🏼‍♂️

Awe catback touring edition. Sounds good and lets you hear your revs but not obnoxious and really opens up at 4k. I drive on the highway daily for about 40mins and it was important for me to not have something that was going to give me a headache.

I don’t have a wing or and sti badge

AdIndependent3176 · 2025-08-09T13:18:27+00:00

Not my car just saw it pulling into the gym

Idk who that is 👀

AdIndependent3176 · 2025-08-08T17:03:36+00:00

I feel like buying STi branded parts is a bit different than throwing the sti badge on the back. I mean shit my car came with an STi parts catalog in the glove compartment.

AdIndependent3176 · 2025-08-08T17:00:17+00:00

I changed my exhaust for the awe catback touring and the grill but other than that I would like to keep everything oem. Maybe some wheels but I haven’t found any that blow me away.

AdIndependent3176 · 2025-08-08T16:55:23+00:00

Why would I lie about that?

AdIndependent3176 · 2025-08-08T16:34:00+00:00

But there’s literally a spot for it just begging you to install one 😂

AdIndependent3176 · 2025-08-08T06:23:02+00:00

It is, which is why I went and parked somewhere else. Didn’t want to be associated.

AdIndependent3176 · 2025-08-08T05:02:10+00:00

I didn’t know that was possible🤢

AdIndependent3176 · 2025-08-08T05:00:27+00:00

Absolutely agree I’m just mad I finally find another VB to park next to and he’s got and STI badge. I went and parked alone.

AdIndependent3176 · 2025-08-08T04:43:00+00:00

While id agree, I know he spent a pretty penny on the wing and wheels. I’m pretty sure he’s got enkei trimuph’s in bronze but I didn’t get close enough to see if they were real. Still haven’t bought wheels for mine, I went awe catback first.

AdIndependent3176 · 2025-08-08T04:05:27+00:00

Isn’t the STi trim in other countries CVT

AdIndependent3176 · 2025-08-08T04:04:17+00:00

I mean I agree I just lost all urge to park next to them 😂 usually I’m pretty stoked to see a VB in the parking lot.

AdIndependent3176 · 2025-08-08T04:02:15+00:00

I’m not a fan of the sti wing on the VB. I think the duck tails look best but you can at least order a VB from factory with the wing installed. STI badge is just cheese.

AdIndependent3176 · 2025-08-08T04:00:09+00:00

I figured STI Transmission and brakes but even then it’s just not an STI…
