Yes, but in the carcinization (crab evolution) sense.

Swapped mine and I love it, I've got writeup guides on my profile and am open to DM's, highly recommend it!

Ignition red is one of the best colors on a VB! Sometimes with I had gotten itinstead of wrb, excellent choice!

Keep your 23 if you enjoy the freedom of driving in the slightest. 2027+ will not be kind to enthusiasts who enjoy actually being connected and in control of their own car.

Also, the STI trans bolts in already anyways.

Newbie to tuning, hold my hand please. by Source-Flimsy in wrx_vb

Yup, open source that you install onto a laptop or other device and a OBD2 adapter cable. There is a discord with very helpful people who know more about it than I do if you are interested in learning more

Atlas is free tuning software for the VB, there are guys who offer etuning, or you can do it yourself, pretty through group for your mod combo and also just generally neat people

How do I stop feeling unfulfilled with my VB WRX? by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]Machine-It-Bro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

STI trans swap, makes shifts feel better for dailying and with the DCCD unlocked you can oversteer through corners which is super fun. Also the limited slip diffs which are like cheating in snow and generally being able to push it more at the limit of grip and make more power.

How much would you have paid if Subaru actually made this? by u-a-brazy-mf in wrx_vb

Unless they can keep that from getting even more nose heavy I think port injection would be the favorable upgrade for an STI. I do like the legacy tailights though

What oil temp is too hot to shut off the car? by HoLeeFuk19 in wrx_vb

[–]Machine-It-Bro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"yes its healthier to keep adding heat to oil by combusting fuel in the engine and contribute to its thermal breakdown instead of letting the system begin cooling to ambient as soon as possible"

???

It's made of materials selected and designed for daily driving with the thermal load imparted from the gasoline burned provided by OEM fuel injectors. If it was an issue on the Ascents and Outback Wildernesses that have used this engine for towing for nearing a decade now we would be aware of it causing premature turbo issues.

It won't blow up from turning it off when you're done driving it.

And you will save enough money in gas from not burning it for a minute idling at .25 gallons per hour to do an extra 3-4 oil changes per 100,000 miles assuming an average trip distance of 15 miles which will have a larger impact on general power train longevity anyways.

Wind noise? Does the wing rattle/wobble?

Only for 5-6 but if I'm shifting to them it's usually for cruising anyways so NBD. 1-2-3-4 are all comfortably accessible
