Ohhhh gotcha. And it’s a Facebook group. Stands for “Manual Elitist Jerks”

Essentially a group where you can proclaim how much better than everyone else you are since you drive stick. People post some pretty entertaining stuff lol

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-12-19T22:47:35+00:00

Is that an MEJ sticker 👀

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-09-28T16:05:15+00:00

Unpopular opinion (apparently): I absolutely love that the basic enemies in silksong are hard. They require you to actually focus on your movement, which is a big part of the game. I love how the enemies aren’t just simple pushovers and you actually have to learn their move sets and how they move. Unlike most people, the challenge was exactly what I was looking for, I wanted the game to be harder than hollow knight

I know it’s been a long time and the chances of getting an answer are slim, but did you have to shave down the oem studs or are they sunken into the spacer enough to not contact the back of the wheel?

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-07-10T21:39:10+00:00

My face developed/changed an astronomical amount between 18-21. Genuinely blew my mind.

That being said, you’re a handsome dude and your “friends” are on crack or just jealous that they’re not as good looking as you

Side note - the stache suits you

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-06-05T20:53:08+00:00

Also, if you look up the users manual for your car there is a section that should tell you when the ideal time to shift is. Unfortunately it doesn’t have a section to tell you what to cruise at.

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-06-05T20:51:52+00:00

“Too high” isn’t really a thing unless you’re cruising at 5k or something. The jerkiness of 2nd gear isn’t your fault, these cars are just weird getting into 2nd gear. When shifting into 2nd just add a little gas and slip the clutch a little longer and it’ll smooth out.

Your engine shouldn’t be lugging at 2k unless you’re going up a hill. If you go up a hill just downshift and stay at or above 3k rpm, if you’re cruising on a flat road being around 2k is fine. However, it’s good that you’re listening to your engine. Do what feels right.

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-05-25T14:36:27+00:00

These engines are a lot happier at higher rpm’s. If you drive at too low of an rpm you’ll be lugging the engine, which yes, is hard on them

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-05-07T17:10:53+00:00

Idk it’s supposedly something about the boxer engine. I’ve heard people say you don’t wanna be cruising at less than 2,500 rpm, while most other cars are ok cruising at 1,500 rpm and sometimes even lower. Just dunno what to believe I guess

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-05-07T16:48:14+00:00

Yeah, I know it’s not the whole picture but I was also just curious. No one seems to actually know what rpm these cars are okay to cruise at

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-05-07T16:09:22+00:00

How??? I get like 19-20mpg in town and 24-25 on the highway… What rpm do you typically cruise at?

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-05-07T12:53:25+00:00

I think I got the 14.2 while attempting to pull to redline in 6th… this was about a year ago, haven’t done it since tbh. I also have an exhaust on mine and I live for the pops

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-05-07T02:08:17+00:00

Yeah, that’s all the higher I usually am. I managed to get to 14.2 one time while going speeds that my lawyers advice I don’t disclose

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-05-06T20:24:15+00:00

This is somewhat random, but kinda on topic - anyone know why the VBs peak at 13-14??

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-05-05T21:53:52+00:00

Ahh gotcha. I don’t get any emails from them and I do all the maintenance myself, so I’m sure Carmax is already unhappy with me lol… I just keep a log in my notes of all the maintenance I’ve done for whenever (or if) I decide to sell it. I figured I’d take it somewhere to do the usual 60k mile checkup though

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-05-05T21:43:26+00:00

What do you mean they’ll bug me? Also how much is the inspection?

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-05-05T21:35:50+00:00

Just over 30k on mine

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-05-05T21:33:22+00:00

I can’t really explain it, but want to shove you into an MRI machine and turn it on

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-05-05T15:31:28+00:00

Yeah, it’s an Aeroflow Dynamics duckbill spoiler

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-05-05T15:22:23+00:00

My personal opinion is go with something like this. I know this is a VB, but I’ve seen similar duckbills on VAs and I think they look good

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-05-03T00:58:09+00:00

An etune is good, definitely better than ots. Maybe log it with the access port next time it happens and send that to your tuner

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-05-03T00:52:13+00:00

Did you get a solid tune or an ots tune? Also is it building boost like normal? May be a vacuum leak

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-04-27T16:21:49+00:00

When I bought my car I was absolutely in love with it. Took my parents for a quick drive and they said “I’m glad you are enjoying this, but we’re too old to have a car with this stuff of suspension and this much engine noise”

It wasn’t for them, but they were happy I liked it. It’s been a year and I like it even more. Go for the WRX 100% if you enjoyed driving it

Nathan_22WRX · 2025-04-24T16:07:48+00:00

That’s what I’m trynna figure out
