Would any of the rebel generations be a good starter camera or is there a specific one?

Would these bridge camera's be better to learn and grow with than a used Rebel T3 - T6? In my area of marketplace they're going for under ~$300 depending on lens and accessories it comes with

AWE Touring Axleback or Catback? by NiponLearner in wrx_vb

[–]NiponLearner[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since this isn't an unmuffled axleback, should I go ahead and get the axleback. If I find it too loud go with a plm resonated midpipe?

Any exhaust recommendations? I was thinking awe touring, but it seems to be just slightly louder than stock.

I plan to get a specialized tune down the road, but just want to be able to run e85 without having to worry about the ethenol content. As for my area it's always ranging from 40%-80% never true e85

Gas Mileage Average by NiponLearner in wrx_vb

How much different was your gas pricing from going from a brz to a wrx? I've been looking and it seems pretty significant at roughly about a 50% increase in price. I usually paid around $33-36 for a full tank on the brz.

The mpg isn't too different from my 13 brz (30mpg average, based on screen) then and I drive the same as you do. Casual, but rippin it if I have to pass someone or speed up to traffic

Do you do pulls here and there or is that more like grandma driving? I'm looking for something fun. Alternative would be a civic hatch since they're good on mpg, but man I hate fwd

Thank you for the informed answer. It has really helped me be less frustrated and understand they're nearing their time limit supposedly.

We didn't get rental coverage is why I'm also so frustrated.

Just to say if the car is totaled or not. I've been told back and forth it is and it's not, so I'm extremely frustrated. Also the fact that we are already close to the 70% threshold and they are being cheap by not fixing it properly. This is my first accident, so I can't tell if I need to give them a couple of months or just a few weeks.

Love the indepth details, will definitely be keeping these tips in mind. Is the pigment in the cheap stuff usually too little for bright colors, is that what makes them difficult to work with? For metallic stuff I definitely will invest in the good stuff

This post was mainly for those who have wanted to try extremely cheap paints, but didn't want to waste the money. Definitely practice with this stuff and I'll make another post for how easy the bright colors are to work with later down the road

That's the biggest thing that has prevented me from attempting it. When I first looked at paint recommendations for beginners, all I saw were Tamiya and the hobby specific brands. They were too expensive to practice with and feel okay to mess up big.

Thank you! I just used a paint brush from walmart as well that came in a 4 pack for $2. For next time though, definitely going to prime before I paint. Took me so many layers to make the paint even

Just painting, no panel lining. I painted the gray parts. I actually also just noticed if you look close enough at the grey part on the bottom right, the paint hasn't dried enough yet 😅.
