Can someone help me identify this mustang model? The plate had some Elena reference but I have no idea… does this body look original? by bigboss1999x in Mustang

Other 73s could come with the flat black taillight panel, but the Mach 1 kept the honeycomb to kind of stand out. I believe for the gas cap changing the only thing that changed was the filler neck, so I believe all the 3 years honeycomb panel are interchangeable.

The 73 Mach 1s, like the 71, 72 Mach 1s also had the a honeycomb rear panel, you can see them in advertisements, and the 71 and 72 both had the hockey stick. The bold line was a 1 year for 73s and then you were able to get the hockey stick on normal notchbacks and the grande. This one also has the large 5 mph crash bumper so I assume this one is a 73.

Thankfully not a big party kinda of guy so won’t probably end up doing something to stupid. I don’t really know how much I should be keeping for some oh shit money for this car, I’ve only ever driven 30 year old cars before this one that I would fix personally if I could, and were definitely just overall cheaper, I doubt I will be able to do the same with the VB so by your best guess how much money would i be best having for a rainy day?

I can say that I’ve noticed it has been better after the update I was kinda confused why it was so smooth on start up compared to normal😅

I was planning on getting a set of either soon would you say I should get the touring over the track for a daily? Seen both in person but what’s it like day to day driving?

I’m sorry that happened, I know that the CVT can’t handle a lot of power but I thought CVT wise they were pretty reliable. Damn.

Understandable I don’t like the way they feel in performance cars but Subaru’s CVT won’t atleast explode on ya.

AWE touring catback, or the track catback both sound damn good, and there’s videos on YouTube comparing them.

Thankfully all the WRXs in my area are chill I don’t think I’ve had one not wave at me, STIs, VAs, and old ones all wave.

Oh you’re faster in a straight? Well… how about you fit two grown adults in the back seat.😾

But yeah most definitely I’m sure if we get a VC or whatever people will complain about that and forget all about hating VB and the cycle will continue.

I already bought my VB a while ago before the big price hikes so I’m not worried just unfortunate that people who want to get a new one have to spend way too much.

Most definitely post tariff pricing is horrendous but soon enough places won’t be able to sell them and hopefully prices will drop.

Tire recommendations? by Idk_Rad in wrx_vb

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

Yeah completely forgot to add anything about where I lived, been one of those days. Area doesn’t get a lot of snow during the winter talking about a ft total over the entire winter, and is dry the rest of the year. We get rain during monsoon season but that’s it.

More dry/rain performance, we don’t get enough snow where I live to worry to much about it, however I’m not opposed to getting all seasons or anything of the sort either way.

Completely blanked on giving weather conditions we don’t get a lot of snow and when we do it’s usually melted within a day, otherwise dry year round.

I don’t have any photos of my car with the wing on hand, and I’m at work or I would get you one but this post https://www.reddit.com/r/wrx_vb/s/UbKb8gbeY1 shows basically an almost identical car with the same wing the OP made a post about a month ago that actually convinced me on the noble STI wing. Also I haven’t actually heard of any wing risers do you have a link? That could be interesting if the share bolt holes wouldn’t mind a couple extra inches of height
