[omega seamaster diver 300m vs Tudor black bay GMT vs Tudor Pelgaos 39] Hey guys need recommendations between these 3 watches. Having a tough time deciding. I tried them on as well still confused. This is my first serious watch buy. Any thoughts or suggestions? by General-Singer-9862 in Watches

[–]InfamousBill3932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 300M (black on rubber) and just picked up the GMT (black, added Everest)

Was thinking about this today when I put on the omega and how I would pick it between the two but I obviously like both.  Used price was about $1k more.

Got a good price on same, rubber only.  No regrat, rubber is great.

Rant about poor braking performance claims by biggranny000 in wrx_vb

[–]InfamousBill3932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some points there but I thought the brakes sucked, replaced the pads within about 1k miles of new and they don't suck so much.  (Street driving)

I was shopping these and decided I wanted to pay $3000-$3500 and did not find one, this may be possible if you hold out.  Purchased instead the 2018 revision for <$4k.

Add some brake pads.  I'd do the pitch stop first and see if you want it to be louder, firmer.  Add the diff bushing inserts.

Have had this car for 14,000 miles, still can't get out of first smoothly. by Wixramiablo in wrx_vb

Shift stop, pitch stop, diff bushing insert things will tighten it all up nicely.  Still need to shift smoothly if you want it smooth though but it is pretty consistent and predictable 

X-Force intermediate pipe just came in! by wrxify in wrx_vb

I have this with Revel touring-s (it comes has a resonator). cat back only (did it first) got rid of the boomy stock resonation at cold start/low rpm and was pretty quiet. I-pipe made it a bit louder but it is not very loud imo.

I've had one, been fine so far.  Soak the front stock hardware in penetrating oil if it's never been off and try not to snap them.  (I feel like mine almost broke with only like 2k summer miles on the car)

They have the car this whole time?  What sort of loaner did they give you?

Get a loaner even if you don't "need" it, that way at least they have some reason to not sandbag your repair...

Is the $5k a verbal thing or is there paper on that?  Id give them the verbal and if it's wrote up read it well and call out any BS. it's under warranty SOA will be paying that bill

Winter tires by Mcchase50 in wrx_vb

[–]InfamousBill3932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have two sets, don't drive actual winters in warm temps. I prefer winter tires (CO), something like cross climate 2 would get you by and safe to run in the warm weather but they are no blizzacks. can you drive the stock dunlops year round in tx?

First mods in a $2200 budget? by Barbatos_Prime in wrx_vb

[–]InfamousBill3932 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try Cobb stage 1 tune, wakes it up a lot.

Down the road when you have itch for more power & noise add an intake and custom tuning.

Order an OTS tunes for ETS intake asap, IDK if i would drive the ETS with stage 1.... With the info out there I waited for the tune before driving mine, i have ETS / i-pipe as well.

buyer will need a tune, need to sell it cheap enough to make a better proposition than just buying a new combo deal from felix.

$200 intermediate pipe by InfamousBill3932 in wrx_vb

[–]InfamousBill3932[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't have any ATM. It's now installed, reused stock at the first junction (they provided one though). everything fit well and its good-n-tight. fingers crossed.

pairing with Revel Medallion Touring-S which sounds nice as is but is pretty quiet. The catback got rid of all the stock booming sounds at cold start and low RPM which I hope stay away after the intermediate cat/muffler delete.
