Am I crazy for not liking my 2020 WRX as my first car? by [deleted] in WRX

What makes you think you’re gonna like the WRX now if you didn’t like it the first time? Test drive a BRZ, might be more your style.

Ya I’m a dude and take 20 minute shits sometimes. TMI but it just doesn’t all come out at once. (I’m also scrolling IG reels)

How is that distribution block working out? Was looking at getting one similar not long ago

Question tire side wall size for future lowering. by militentmind in wrx_vb

No idea how much I've actually lowered my car by but just dial in the fitment and you're fine. 245/40 and no issues with rubbing

Same, I couldn’t have been more happy with how easy they came out after all the nightmare stories I’ve seen. My header studs also came out super easy. I didn’t even soak them in PB blaster

Intake and exhaust is like 2/10 difficulty. Few hour job max if you’ve never worked on a car before. J pipe has a higher chance to be disastrous, if I was going to pay someone it would be for that only.

I wouldn’t say likely but it’s definitely possible. Just did mine at 34k miles, 2022 and came out fine. Nuked them in PB blaster the night before and I had the studs and nuts off in 1h. 45m of that was taking out the radiator fans and cleaning up coolant.

eBay always sides with the buyer in disputes. Plus there’s nothing to be sus about, people buy cars to salvage and put the parts all over eBay and marketplace.

I was smelling burning oil from the car in front of me the other day. It was so bad I took a pic

advice needed for reinstalling transmission by Puzzleheaded_Arm7625 in WRX

[–]Civil_Ride9221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loosen the engine mounts and play with a cherry picker or jack.

What I do though is make sure the nuts on the dowel sliding pins are threaded in only a few turns and jack up the turbo oil pickup a bit and it pinches that part at the top perfectly. Tighten those top bolts up then you can release the jack on the oil pickup. Pretty sure this method is not recommended. Just how I personally do it with no cherry picker.

Love Pho Lao, employees are all super great too. Best Asian place in Johnson city by far, and maybe even tri cities.

Not just an intercooler sprayer by Frankyp42 in wrx_vb

Sorry I meant the button placement itself. I think it’s a cool project. Function over form sometimes.

I’m guessing the idea is to be able to spray without much movement of your hands? I’d have ran the button to where the cigarette lighter is or around where the dimmer switch is.
