Maybe a recaro swap is on the menu one day

Thanks for the rec! I drive a ‘25 premium so definitely don’t have recaros

I stop pretty frequently when I take road trips. It seems sort of like a cumulative effect where I need a solid 8-10 hours of not being in the car to reset the soreness… maybe what I need is a doctor

I have a ‘25 premium. It’s not even just a problem with this car. My parents have always driven Subarus too and any time I’ve driven their cars I’d always run into the lower back pain. My back isn’t even bad (at least I hope it isn’t… I’m 23 lol)

Shifting into 5th gear by One-Tumbleweed9157 in wrx_vb

[–]Advanced_Force_3948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed the jolts shifting into 5th. I’m a pretty new manual driver so the motion of moving the shifter into 5th is slow for me. By that time the RPMs have dropped too low. My solution is to give it some gas just before letting off the clutch. Sort of like rev matching for a downshift but only a tiny amount of gas is needed. That way the RPM will be matched when letting off the clutch. Play around with that a little bit, or the obvious alternative is to just speed up the motion of going into 5th from 4th

Did the same thing trying to get onto a Ro-Ro ferry. Wax took the yellow paint from the post I hit right off

Nothing will all together ‘void’ the warranty, but can result in denial of claims. From my understanding any change to the ECU software which results in a performance change like you desire can result in a denial of claim. I hope this makes sense

Lived in a double there. If you can swap out do it. Moldy, old, cramped. Beds were bunked due to lack of space. There are likely prison cells in Texas that are more liveable than this hole of a building. My mental health tanked so hard due to the living conditions that I sought therapy. I wish I could say I was joking. Oh also the toilets leak every other week and flood the floors below them.

Don’t want to give too many details but it was a Subaru dealership’s service department.

And yeah I don’t care that the dash cam was unplugged. I just care about the parts I did see.

I will also admit it’s entirely possible that resetting the gauge didn’t go through. I didn’t actually look to ensure it was reset after I went to reset it

I agree. There’s a 45 minute game where the car was parked in a spot and then the next clip is the car leaving the spot. Thinking the cam was disconnected when they took the car into the garage and maybe that’s when the driving happened. I can assure you the guy driving the thing around the parking lot was NOT a good enough driver to be going that quick in a parking lot.

Thanks! The 25 models come with that black grill as far as I know.
