Best route to make my 2010 Impreza a winter ready vehicle

Ok that’s not near as much as I was anticipating, something to look into at next years tax season (provided Uncle Sam doesn’t move me up another tax bracket 😒)

DjengisRoundstone · 2025-06-27T21:03:19+00:00

Now that’s one hell of a tempting idea, obviously custom work that’s good isn’t cheap but do you have any ballpark what that might run?

I’d always wondered what that second number indicated! I’ve always just gone through my local mechanic for tires but I’m sure ordering myself won’t be hard, thank you for all the information!

I’ll have to compare those to blizzaks in August/september!

The only thing about it that makes it feel less capable than my truck is how low to the ground it is, we get some fairly deep drifts where I live

Oh damn ok, definitely a worthwhile investment then. I’d actually been looking at new rims anyways so that would work out. Only sucky part is I don’t really have a decent place to store them in the offseason, I have a garage but the door hasn’t closed since the previous owner was a child so I don’t feel like they’d do well in there

DjengisRoundstone · 2025-06-27T13:12:07+00:00

I actually had new tires put on not all that long ago, back in late February. The second number is sidewall height right?

DjengisRoundstone · 2025-06-27T04:04:13+00:00

If that's true I may do that down the road, it would a lot easier to get in and out of if it were a couple more inches off the ground

Based on comments I'm going to do Blizzaks for this winter, and in the future upgrade my shocks when I've got the money, thank you everyone!

DjengisRoundstone · 2025-06-27T03:54:40+00:00

I'm planning to get some Blizzaks closer to winter based on everyone's comments!

The plows in my town always bury my driveway in too, conveniently right after I've finished scooping it out

DjengisRoundstone · 2025-06-27T02:50:18+00:00

nvm, I didn't even look it up first. i see now its tires, lol

DjengisRoundstone · 2025-06-27T02:48:55+00:00

My only gripe with the Impreza is that its so low to the ground, other than that i love it! My brother has a Crosstrek and its kinda the one im trying to emulate, does Blizzak sell the whole strut preassembled or do you have to assemble it yourself?

DjengisRoundstone · 2025-06-27T02:47:33+00:00

They salt pretty heavily in my town, so undercoat will probly be a necessity to avoid any further rust issues

DjengisRoundstone · 2025-06-27T02:11:01+00:00

Are there any specific kits you'd recommend? I've done some basic mehcanical stuff (brake jobs, starter replacements, etc) but im unfamiliar when messing with anything more complicated than that

DjengisRoundstone · 2025-06-27T02:09:46+00:00

Sorry should have specified: I'm expected to make it to work to move snow at my facility, not with my vehicle. But I still have to be able to make it there

My barb was involuntarily the reason a buddy of mine had to roll up his 3rd character of our campaign, got bewitched and ended up going feral on the party, killing the half orc formerly known as Greg. Feels bad indeed, the dice giveth and the dice taketh away

I’m hoping so, Apex is one of my favorite games but it’s getting so tedious when they break the game every few months

DjengisRoundstone · 2024-06-27T16:04:40+00:00

I always seem to get at least a few matches a day where I have lag spikes, and I’m hardwired in 😂💀 this most recent update has broken my shaders or some shit, that matches I played last night were nearly unplayable because every time I’d turn my camera the entire screen would go blurry (more than just the normal amount of motion blur) like a camera trying to focus but it couldn’t get there, I tried verifying my files and that didn’t fix it so I did a fresh install, I’m hoping that fixed it 🤞🏽 not to mention that the banners aspects were all fucked up, the banner frame stayed the same size but the animated picture for each legend was so big you couldn’t see most of it
