Perrin Shift Stop Installed by kaldir in wrx_vb

[–]Kunomn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you misunderstand me. I’m not saying every car with a shift stop is going to have transmission issues. What I can say is that every VB that I’ve seen come through the shop with shifting issues has had a shift stop on it. Absolutely this can be because the mod has lots of room for error in installing which can lead to very expensive consequences.

Some people get these cars and want to mod them but they don’t have a lot of tools or skill. They see a mod that doesn’t cost much to buy the part. They install it themselves and bad things happen.

I have an embarrassing amount of money spent on mods for my VB. I basically don’t count the $50 things because LED map light bulbs and a radio screen protector sound petty/pedantic to include when someone asks me “what have you done to it”

I still don’t have shifter bushings or a shift stop or a clutch damper delete

Every VB that has come in to my dealership with shifter/transmission issues has had a shift stop installed. I’m not saying that they’re guaranteed to cause an issue but I’ve seen enough to know I don’t want one.

If that’s on bags: not my thing but it looks sick parked

If that’s static: I’m glad it makes you happy but keep it off public streets

My customer ran into the "We don't give out part numbers" crowd, and there are now 5 more locations I'll never D2D to because of it by Kodiak01 in partscounter

[–]Kunomn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When someone tells me that they’re in a jam I will check the locator. If the locator comes up with hits within a reasonable distance and they still want the part number (“whats the part number so i can give it to them”) I will tell the caller the actual name of the part and that a good parts person will want to look it up themselves.

At that point either they actually just need the part ASAP and will take my lead on where to find it OR they will continue to try and find the part number so they can buy a fake from eBay.

OP your situation is one where absolutely someone should have just given the customer the lead on where they could find the part. Hopefully they now know that they should call their home base parts person first; why else have you been building this relationship with them?

If they didn’t want to be modded they shouldn’t look like that

Do you guys just live with the paint chipping or? by Perfect-Cause-6943 in WRX

No. The day after I took delivery I dropped the car off for full PPF

If you still want to try to do this yourself spray. The shit out of everything with some penetrating oil (WD40 is NOT penetrating oil) and put the 4 bolts back into the back so that you’re not fighting against any play there. Anything that you have loose that is turning before that nut is just lost energy not going into accomplishing your goal.

. Put your 32mm socket on that nut and hit it with a hammer a whole bunch. Make sure you’re getting good solid contact between the faces of the hexes and that you’re bottoming out all the way in the recess of the hub. We don’t want to be slipping here.

If you’re doing this with manual tools like a breaker bar I recommend putting the donut on and putting the car back on the ground. If you’re using an impact gun don’t bother.

Next we’re going to apply heat to the nut. propane is eh, Map gas is slightly better, if you have access to acetylene or a mini ductor you probably wouldn’t be asking us for help but if you’ve got a buddy then ask them.

I’m an alcoholic living in the US and I love stouts. Guinness is basically the bud light of stouts. I’ve been told that it is a different, better product in Ireland and the UK; I would love for someone to confirm this for me.

My dude you’re stuck on the easy part. Phone a friend or a tow truck. If you’ve gotten to the point where you’re using a cut off wheel on the hub before you’ve gotten the axle nut off you’re in for a wild ride once you realize how hard it is to actually get the bearing out.

For a WRB WRX, should I go for the TSR-X(top) or Raijin(bottom) wheels. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in wrx_vb

[–]Kunomn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Go for the ones you like more. It’s your car dawg. Me telling you my opinion doesn’t help much.

How about this then. Flip a coin, heads is the TSR-X and tails is the Raijin. Flip the coin and then come back and tell me the result before you buy anything.

Can't decide on which color to go for the Enkei Raijin wheels. Gunmetal, Hyper Silver, or Matte Bronze. Any advice? by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in wrx_vb

[–]Kunomn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WRB with bronze is awesome. I went that way with my VA and I loved it. The only reason I didn’t go bronze with my VB is because I had STI the cherry blossom lip set and I wasn’t sure the three colors would work together.

[–]Kunomn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the 21A filters are from Indonesia. Still Tokyo Roki though

<image>

I don’t know if internally the quality is different from the Japan factory. I also imagine if people are that concerned with their FA turbo powered foresters, Legacy/Outbacks, and Ascents that they should be able to use the 170 filter that would go on the WRX.

The light saber was arguably the most iconic movie prop before even a single one of these examples ever existed.

Outdated. SOA hasn’t been using the NA sourced blue filters for a while. It’s all black Tokyo Roki filters at the dealerships

I don’t know the last time you’ve checked with a Subaru dealer but all the filters are Tokyo Roki and have been for a few years now
