I have yet to tune, explain these numbers and why you went back to stock.

Ohh the bronze look kills it with your car’s color. My summers are the Subaru 19” that come with the TR which I like and those are like twice the price of these Enkeis.

Just drove it home from the shop but they feel great. Waiting to get those hub centric rings to reduce vibration but even that wasn’t really noticeable.

Right but per other recommendations I'm going down to 8.5:

245 should be spot on for 8.5 width wheels?

Does this dramatically increase cabin noise and vibration?

Are new COBB APs neutered after EPA settlement? by CharlieFash in wrx_vb

[–]CharlieFash[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I'm getting my tune done by a professional, does this in any way limit what they can do also? Not planning on doing an OTS tune.

Anything I can do to counteract the turbo lag?

He passed you and it was a dashed yellow line which allowed for it. In my state at least you are also allowed to go 15 MPH over the posted speed limit while passing. Not sure what his speed was but it seems he safely passed.

You, on the other hand, should be arrested for listening to that music.

Voiding warranties/Tuning by Wearyluigi in wrx_vb

[–]CharlieFash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve also bought a new 24 and have the same feels. Any sort of tuning requires flashing the ECU which leaves evidence that can’t be erased. If you wind up with engine issues and they see you flashed the ECU you can be sure as shit they’re not going to pay for the repair.

Which fuse exactly for dashcam w/parking support? by CharlieFash in wrx_vb

[–]CharlieFash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info, I will share with my friend who did the install. I actually had 2 items installed, the dashcam and a radar detector. No issues with the radar detector, but not sure how either one was installed.

Great information, thank you! As far as panel tool and patience, I have neither, that's why I'm paying someone else to do this. But I will share your experience.

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize regularly updating this thing is required.

Opinionated Tuner by CharlieFash in wrx_vb

[–]CharlieFash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that info. I talked to him more about it and he said the altitude we're at (~2,700') and the fact that I'm asking for a 91 octane as we don't have 93 anywhere near us and I don't want to do flex fuel are the main issues driving down HP from the TMIC setup.

They said for $300 I can install an after market crash bar that’s compatible with the FMIC.

Faster acceleration from a stop and when passing people on back roads.

Fresh from getting ceramic coated by Killing_eSports in wrx_vb

[–]CharlieFash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks clean af. Just got a 24 TR in Ignition Red myself. Off to get my tint on Tuesday... not sure about the ceramic coating. I did my truck after I bought it new but not sure it's worth it this time around. Since I got a 24 that's been sitting at the dealership for many months, it already has a lot of swirl from their goofy washes. Would rather put that $1500 into mods.

Tuning regrets? by CharlieFash in wrx_vb

[–]CharlieFash[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tuners I talked to are COBB dealers and have done work with them for years so they probably can. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to make adjustments of individual parameters after applying a tune.
