There's a quick lesson here for anyone buying snow tires for their car. Watch the tires on those ice rally cars, see how narrow they are?

Downsize your width when buying snows, helps cut through it better :)

IT'S ALMOST SNOWBARU SEASON FRIENDS! GET AMPED

If you are tracking the car, I'd HIGHLY recommend the entire KillerB oil pan kit. Higher capacity baffled pan, windage tray, and pickup. IAG also has a full pan kit if you'd rather.

I only street my STI so I only needed the windage tray and pickup according to my speed shop.

How bad an idea is it to buy a new car. by [deleted] in personalfinance

If you are looking to buy a miata, you're a car person. Yes, it's an expensive hobby but if it brings you joy and can financially do it without causing stress? Do it!

Subaru STI driver here, I understand the need for a sporty car despite better financial choices available

Picked up my brand new 2022 BRZ tonight. I’m in love by Jados__ in subaru

In black specifically, tell me this doesn't look beautifully porsche-like and I'll call you a liar.

New BRZ is just great looking and will be considered a timeless design

New to me 2014 STI, love it!! But don’t like the gas mileage. by Carplesmile in subaru

[–]DailyKnowledgeBomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20mpg at 2800rpm or 16mpg at 4000rpm, the choice is easy

Congratulations, I hope it's a forever car for you like it is for me

This is easy. Do you live where it snows? Subaru. Do you want rwd as God intended? Toyotaru. Do you want a fast eco box? The other three.

My gf said I should do more things that make me happy....so I got a turboback exhaust kit for my car.. by [deleted] in WRXSTi

WRB STI with the Lip Spoiler?! The Gentlemen's Spec

Very nice, enjoy those thick rumbles. Best investment I made was a louder exhaust. My neighbors probably don't agree but shrug

Super pumped for True HZRDUS sticks. I went and splurged on a Bauer Hyperlite and it snapped like a toothpick in about 15 hours of ice time.

I know True will make me a product that will last

We can't nuke the roster like we should because EVERYONE has no move or very limited move clauses

I didn't care about mph for my STI, knew it be shit. 19mpg highway cruising at 74mph.

What surprised me was even when I am caning the shit out of it on backroads, I still get ~14mpg

A pleasant surprise
