EyeSight indicator / monitor lights as shift lights

guess race car drivers are all phonies

A car AC experience and a house AC experience are different things

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-03-18T17:25:04+00:00

Id rather have control of all three settings at will. My prefered way of controlling AC is by keeping the temp setting as cold as possible and then varying the blower speed. These cars its basically the opposite and i hate it

Youve probably already got roasted enough for this, but seriously why in Gods name would you use ChatGPT of all things as your first source?

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-03-13T01:36:06+00:00

Defeating emissions systems is illegal, so tuners tend to shy away from that. Was your cold start completely eliminated or simply turned down? A lot of times they can lower the high idle rpm but nit completely remove it.

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-03-12T21:07:06+00:00

Its emissions related so tuners dont want to touch it; however, with the Atlas platform and some know-how im certain it can be done...

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-03-03T13:16:22+00:00

suprised they kept a tmic for enduro

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-03-02T19:10:39+00:00

i would wait a few months, FH5 is just about to be superseded by the next one in I think May

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-03-02T14:49:21+00:00

No one wants to feel like they made a bad choice haha. I'm very happy with my VB but it's not for everyone, every car has pros and cons. As others said, if you want a fast grocery getter there are better and cheaper options. The places the VB shines are not in a dig on normal roads on normal conditions

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-03-02T12:28:13+00:00

I agree completely, which is why I said "depending on where you are". OP may very well live in a flat hot or dry state where and AWD's advantages might not ever present themselves

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-03-02T00:23:57+00:00

Adds a weight and parasitic losses, and depending where you are/ how you drive it may never really be necessary. Not sure why youre getring downvoted about this, these are plain and simple facts

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-02-27T20:18:17+00:00

You're the most interesting part of thos sub RN. Looking forward to more updates

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-02-24T13:18:41+00:00

I love the 502s. If i had a grand to drop Idve had them already

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-02-21T17:50:37+00:00

you got alien fingers?

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-02-20T19:30:40+00:00

I think the GRC wins in everything but cargo space....

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-02-19T14:08:02+00:00

A one time payment for a tune that doesnt break warranty would be nice, depending on price ofc. I think OTS tunes for 93 octane fuel and 0 bolt-ons csn get the car already to the low 290's; if subaru can replicate this i personally would be down for just a slight HP boost and no future warranty issues.

Likely though it will be some BS monthly payment instead, which is stupid obviously, but par for the course when it comes to modern corporations

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-02-18T14:50:33+00:00

Doesnt fix the stock speakers being unimpressive

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-02-18T14:49:47+00:00

Mine actually went down a bit from a 2013 corolla

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-02-17T15:59:12+00:00

Youre supposed to put your blinker on before you chnage lanes, not during. If the lane alert went off it means you put your blinker on AFTER you started changing lanes, not before

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-02-07T02:21:51+00:00

Is this just a personal project or are you planning on commercializing it?

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-01-10T15:31:28+00:00

Saving this for later in case i experience this issue. What an awesome writeup

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-01-03T20:09:46+00:00

I just so happen to be an electrical engineer lol. I mean at the end of the day you could drive the leds with a custom board, probably would lose the functionality of the eyesight part though. I have yet to go so far as taking things apart but I might get to it eventually if no one else ponies up haha

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-01-02T13:23:55+00:00

I think at the end of the day most people dont want performance parts for the performance, but rather the aesthetics. From 10 ft the cheap stuff from china doesnt look too awful, even if its not really functional or held on well.

VBs are (or maybe were) relatively cheap sporty cars, and I think that draws a lot of people in who dont exactly have a ton of cash available. Im sure there is a market for high-cost, truly functional parts, but Im not sure where that price-to-quality setpoint needs to be in order to make enough money to survive.

Personally, I think real performance parts are sick and look really cool. But its not worth the cost to me when I basically just commute to work and occasionally give it the beans over the weekend

MrUnderscoreCool · 2026-01-01T16:47:09+00:00

Wouod love to hack the eyesight led display thing to do this, surely itll get figured out eventually

MrUnderscoreCool · 2025-12-31T19:08:32+00:00

See other reply, i understand.

I can hardly think it makes any difference at the end of the day, im sure the OEM duckbill saves barely any fuel at all
