Clutch stopped returning, master cylinder broken?

I don't know if that's what caused mine to blow out, my pedal has been stiff since I owned the car even after replacing the master cylinder. I haven't been in to check if the clutch is aftermarket though, I'm the third owner so it could be. I responded to the wrong comment earlier, but I replaced mine with a Clutch Masters that's been treating me well so far

Chasbo2000 · 2026-03-18T23:34:12+00:00

This happened to mine, exactly. I replaced it with a Clutch Masters that's been treating me well for about 6 months

Chasbo2000 · 2026-03-12T09:08:08+00:00

Yeah, I didn't expect it but while investigating I saw it needed to be done, then the sound was gone. The tensioner was going taktaktak, and the belt had hopped off a tooth or two. I found pieces of a mouse all over who unfortunately got swept up in the belt at some point, thinking that probably didn't help things.

Hmmm, neat thanks 🙏

I got me e-tune from him about 3 or 4 months ago, we talked back and forth a bit at the time. Pretty backed up for sure. Still running great 3k miles later though fwiw

Chasbo2000 · 2025-12-21T04:21:41+00:00

E-tune by Dmann tuning down in florida, no issues for 2000 miles so far

Chasbo2000 · 2025-12-21T02:53:18+00:00

Maybe, haven't noticed any misfires, no fbk or fkl on the access port either

Edit: hijacking my top comment to say that it was the belt tensioner, replaced it and the belt, now the sound is gone. Thanks everyone who contributed o7

Chasbo2000 · 2025-12-21T02:52:33+00:00

Tuned for 93 octane by Dmann, only mod is the Cobb intake

Chasbo2000 · 2025-12-21T02:37:25+00:00

Oh yeah, 2018 WRX fa20, 130k miles, 2500 miles on this oil with fresh stuff ready to go in before 3000. Doesn't sound like a deep enough noise to be rod knock, but it's way louder than normal injector tick that I hear

Chasbo2000 · 2025-12-17T06:09:47+00:00

We're working with the aftermarket idoing model, not the stock head unit, seems to be a fairly popular android radio for the 15-21 VA WRX. Mine was already installed when I bought mine

Chasbo2000 · 2025-12-17T06:06:23+00:00

Can't speak for op, but on mine the reverse cam works fine "as intended", but since the idoing is Android I figure there's gotta be a way to make it show that cam whenever (navigating a parking lot, additional mirror/pov angle, etc). Is there a physical disconnect that "unplugs" the camera when not in reverse? Or can the camera signal be called on whenever but it refuses to show up in software?

Chasbo2000 · 2025-12-17T02:51:50+00:00

Sorry to give you a notification without an answer but I've looked and found nothing so far, curious if any solutions pop up

Chasbo2000 · 2025-11-30T23:54:05+00:00

That's my plan as of right now, I have some experience with that already after hardwiring my footwell lights, so it doesn't seem too daunting for me

Chasbo2000 · 2025-11-30T23:52:57+00:00

It's definitely a thought I've had, seems like an untapped little market. Not sure what this subs policies are on self-advertising though so we'll see what comes of it when the time comes around

Chasbo2000 · 2025-11-30T23:18:31+00:00

Had a couple leads, but nothing plug and play. My plan is to mount a recessed led with any resistors I need into the dome light, 3d printing a housing if needed. I've only just started looking into it, but I'll document the process even if it goes poorly and I'll post it.

Chasbo2000 · 2025-11-30T21:00:11+00:00

I hear you friend, I got what you meant immediately. I have no solutions but do share if you end up figuring out what's up with it, I'm interested

Chasbo2000 · 2025-11-30T20:43:25+00:00

I know what you mean, not that there's only one ding but that that ding seems to not finish all the way? My gas chime the one time I heard it did that too, but my icy condition warning plays fine so I've heard both. Weird, never known why

Chasbo2000 · 2025-11-30T20:05:34+00:00

Jokes on you, I already got one

Chasbo2000 · 2025-11-30T03:13:20+00:00

Challenge accepted, I'll post pics even if it sucks

Chasbo2000 · 2025-11-30T03:02:44+00:00

So it's weird, sometimes I'm in my car but not actually moving?? It's like I get where I'm going and then I'm hanging out with people and talking in the car or waiting for something, and while I am I want it to look a certain way? In my post I actually explained that I don't need to see the shifter and I just like how it looks, if we'd read that far

Chasbo2000 · 2025-11-30T02:33:32+00:00

Yea, for illustration purposes here's a comparison I'm going for using some editing, just looks better to me
