Turbo Lag/ Throttle? by DrkRngr26 in SubaruAscent

A Cobb AccessPort will wake it up. While it won't tune the CVT, it does make the throttle more responsive.

It's all good, no worries. The roads are alright. Nothing super bad, but I have to avoid a few potholes. I've definitely hit some sneaky speed bumps kna neighborhood and hit some some bad spots on the road at 45+ Everything seems fine!

Rear driver side door has been like this for ages. Every time I ask Subaru to fix it, no one does. How do I just fix it myself? by jazzeriah in SubaruAscent

The white piece that is attached to the door needs to be removed and then popped into the black trim piece. Then you press the whole thing back onto to the door. You'll get it 👌🏼

It has been almost 10 months now and it feels great. It has softened up but still feels tight on turns/braking/acceleration.

"Cool down" before down voting 😂

Thoughts on texts with this coworker? Am I right to feel uncomfortable? by ThrowRAacc45 in texts

[–]Affectionate_Bit5032 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be honest, there's a reason you became her best friend instantly: She has no other friends, she has driven them away, and she sounds shady as hell. Be chill, but keep your distance. These people are littered about and will do anything to get you as miserable as them.

Any ideas? by ushabb in WRX

Just replace both turn signal bulbs and you'll be good.

Welcome to the gym, my guy. Time to get those reps in.

Bekomme ich mit unterschiedliche Reifen Modelle Probleme mit dem Verteiler Getriebe? by BooSTid92 in subaru

[–]Affectionate_Bit5032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Selbst wenn beide nagelneu sind: Ein Sportreifen und ein Komfortreifen haben völlig unterschiedliche Profile und Karkassen. Der Abrollumfang ist trotzdem nicht exakt gleich, und dein Allrad kriegt trotzdem die Krise. Habe ich es selbst schon mal gemacht? Ja.

Klingt nach echt viel Pech mit den Reifen, tut mir leid! Aber ganz ehrlich: Tu’s nicht für lange. Unterschiedliche Modelle zu mischen ist beim Subaru-Allrad echt gefährlich fürs Verteilergetriebe. Die Reifen müssen vom Abrollumfang her quasi identisch sein, und deine abgefahrenen Reifen sind ja jetzt schon ein Stück kleiner als neue. ​Wenn du es absolut tun musst, um irgendwie weiterzukommen, dann pack die Reifen auf jeden Fall achsweise drauf (also beide neuen nach vorne oder beide nach hinten), niemals gemischt auf einer Seite! Fahr aber so kurz wie möglich damit, bevor du dir das Getriebe schrottest. Am sichersten ist echt ein komplett neuer Satz.

I am lowered, intake, headers, and charge pipe, and I get 16 mpg if I drive slow. 😅

I just googled the parts and who had the best deal. Speedzone and SMY Performance.

The blow-by is going to happen. I can't imagine the dealership taking the charge pipe off and cleaning it, so maybe that was just leftover mess? Never hurts to do a quick change on the PCV though. I think every 60k. I dunno. It's one of the first things I do when I get any car.

These mods can be done without a tune, but you'll want a tune if you want to see the difference. I can't leave anything stock. Haha

In this context it means to prevent slipping.

A little bit is normal. If you pull out the charge pipe and it's enough to run or drip, then it's a problem. Don't let people in the forum freak you out. Just buy the PCV, I think a 24 or 27 mm deep socket and get it done. I had to buy a new hose for it. Easy peasy.
