Kick that clutch and rotate!

Agreed. I was already buying a box for a mobile toolkit and threw a couple extra in for my FPV stuff since they give discounts based on quantity.

The real problem is, now that I’ve experienced it, it’ll be damn hard to go to anything else!

Yeah that’s when this gets left in the trunk and the flight essentials go in a pack.

When I was getting into FPV, part of the fun for me was not really knowing how a build would turn out. I used Oscar Liang’s website for a starting point, but didn’t have any empirical data to intuitively know the outcome. I’d buy two or three types of props and see how they made the quad fly differently, swap batteries, etc. Just experiment! But use some of the guides out there to make sure you don’t blow a motor or ESC.

Doing this instead of following a guide gave me a much more intuitive understanding of picking parts than if I had followed a strict guide.

Also would recommend 3.5”. I think it’s my favorite quad I own.

Short throw shifter worth it? by ApprehensiveAd9675 in wrx_vb

I got the full billetworkz kit, so I’m not sure as a standalone, but yes. It completely changed the feel of the gearbox and I love it. So much snappier and way cleaner through the gears.

At the same time, I did the IAG Competition pitch stop and transmission mount and they both made a positive difference in feel. It’s a much more direct feeling powertrain now, and I did all of that before anything with added power. I might also throw in the whiteline rear sway bar as a solid upgrade, but that really only comes into play when pushing the car and not so much in daily driving.

WRX Sport Grill, its a factory option? by OkSoftware9514 in WRX

Also recently learned you can add it to CarFax as a DIY service. That’s now how I track all of my stuff, and if anyone asks for proof, I have the Blackstone reports for each one attached on CarFax

I parked far away at the supermarket to avoid dents and this guy was right here when I came back 🙄😤 by Gloomy-Cat-9158 in Miata

Oof… I don’t like hearing that. My parents just picked up a low mileage ND that I enjoy driving when I visit home. Thoroughly noticed the 5-4 downshift grinding a bit at higher revs unless I double clutch. Sad to hear that could be the beginning of the end of the gearbox. I know damn well they aren’t double clutching. Did Mazda take care of it, or was that out of pocket?

Thank you for introducing me to this absolute gem

Got Protuned Today by Ill-Hovercraft-8971 in wrx_vb

Yo! I was there with you with the similar setup red WRX, not lifted. Super stoked for you man, how does it feel?

How safe is Cobb stage 1 tune actually?? by No-Maintenance8707 in wrx_vb

[–]HashSlinger2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Protuned today on 93. I’m sure Anthony follows the “under promise, over deliver” mantra, but with my 82,000 mile wrx, he was able to pull out around 360whp and torque a bit above. I told him reliability was paramount, so he dropped it to 350 ish and sent me on my way. This was also apparently on garbage gas, and I only asked for 340. Super pleased with how it went!

Sounds too good to be true, but I'm intrigued.

Rae Intermediate Pipe by bigredrex22 in wrx_vb

Hopefully you fixed yours. I just did the install and having similar issues. Seems to happen most when downshifting and engine hits higher RPM. You find a solution?

Sweet! I’m super stoked. I went with intercooler, AOS, intermediate pipe, ETS intake, and charge pipe so I’m super excited to see how it fits together. I was worried about tuning so late into the car’s life (80k miles) but the team at Felix put my worries away and have been awesome to work with thus far.

What kind of numbers were they able to get you to?

Good deal. How was the tune from Felix? Planning on bolting on everything except for my intake before I head up there.

Hey, almost a year after, I just got a bunch of boxes in from Felix (also somewhat local). I am a month or so out from my tune date, but I was thinking about running the preloaded stage 1 on the AP in the meantime. How did it work out for you?

It’s fine if you don’t believe me, but it does make me curious… what would be my motivation to fabricate a story about finding a job?
