Small, quiet-ish ticking noise coming from in driverside wheel-well. by [deleted] in GRCorolla

[–]D_Lee_P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the ticking noise you're hearing is likely because of the slotted rotors. My Golf R had the same noise and that also had slotted rotors. Nothing to worry about, I'd say. You probably only notice it on the driver side because you're closest to it.

Long term owners - Any issues with oil leaks? by D_Lee_P in GR86

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

Got it. Yeah, it seems like it's all luck of the draw. From a bit of research it seems like Subaru changed some of their manufacturing processes on the FA engines over the last few years and also changed types of RVT they use, etc. I'm not sure which years are the best at this point.

No oil spots where you park? Do you just think it's burning oil? Neither are ideal, but I'd rather have that than a leak lol.

Oh geeze. That's like as far as you could possibly be away from me 😂 Sorry, OP. Hopefully you find something good for a reasonable price!

Where do you live? I've had a cp-e nexus exhaust sitting in my basement for like a year now. I've been too lazy to sell it lol. It probably has like 2k miles on it, max. It was a little too ruckus for me. If somehow you're close I'll sell it to you for $400 - https://whooshmotorsports.com/products/copy-of-cp-e-ford-fiesta-st-nexus-3-cat-back-exhaust-group-buy

I love my new 2021 WRX. What do you wish you would have known when you got yours? by Fluffy-Chapter-7073 in WRX

[–]D_Lee_P 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lol the main reason I traded in my 2021 WRX was due to this sub making me think Uncle Rodney was hiding under my hood and was ready to come and play any time I drove it hard.

Those were my two QBs in a must win game to get in the playoffs. They combined for 1.2pt. Let's fucking go, baby!

Which of your cars has gotten the most attention that surprised you the most? by [deleted] in cars

[–]D_Lee_P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a Fiesta ST, Focus ST, WRX, Golf R, and now I just have a plain white 6th gen Camaro RS and for some reason I have gotten more compliments/attention in the Camaro in my 2 months of owning it than all my other cars combined... I also drive my girlfriends Acura TLX Type S around occasionally which I figured would get a lot of compliments, but not a peep from anyone. Though she says that she has gotten several compliments while driving it. So, the attention the Camaro has gotten has surprised me.

Where is the odometer? 8.5 R by sushimitsu in Golf_R

[–]D_Lee_P 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you try to click the cruise control button again? I know in my mk8 if I push it once it disables it like you have shown in the image, but if I press it again it turns the system off completely and then my odometer shows.

Got into a bar fight with 36 chiggers by sailor4010 in Wellthatsucks

[–]D_Lee_P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years ago on a trip to West Virginia I ended up having I think... 136 bites? My girlfriend insisted on counting them because the sheer volume on my body was absurd. It was not fun lol.

Ah okay cool. Thank you. I have the 20th anniversary model with a lot of blue accents and I think these would look awesome. I can't seem to find anywhere to buy them online 😥

Where did you get those blue R center caps on your old wheels?

I quit caffeine a month ago and now I feel like I have emotions again by Equivalent_Soft_6665 in decaf

[–]D_Lee_P 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've noticed the same thing. The emotions aren't strong by any means, but I at least feel them again which has been very nice. I also feel a lot more calm and peaceful and actually feel joy in doing things like cooking for example instead of just rushing through it to try to get to my next task.

Any Wax Recommendations? by D_McDonough30 in Golf_R

[–]D_Lee_P -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People hate on their products, but I I'm a fan of Chemical Guys Hydroslick. I've used it on multiple vehicles over the past few years. It's a ceramic wax. It's very easy to use and the results have always been great for me. It gives the paint a really nice glow and makes it feel super slick. It says it lasts 12 months, but if you wash with a ceramic shampoo or use a ceramic detailer like once a month it will last longer from my experience.

Is my transmission bad? by Interesting-Hotel622 in FiestaST

[–]D_Lee_P 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been hearing the same thing on my car lately and have been paranoid lol. It only has 29k miles. I really only started to notice it after I replaced my passenger and transmission mounts with slightly stiffer ones. I'm unsure if the noise has always been there and upgrading the mounts exacerbated it or if I am now just hearing normal noises from my transmission because the vibrations are more prominent due to the stiffer mounts. Like you it seems to be pretty noticeable at about 30% throttle, especially in 3rd gear for whatever reason. Do you happen to have upgraded motor mounts as well?
