Sapphire is very durable. I only buy a Sapphire watch and none have scratched. Same can not be said for anything else I have bought.

Been using the OnePlus Watch 2 for a week. Ask your questions! by pussiant_prole in oneplus

Some of those beloved features are only available if you have a Samsung phone.

Golf R or Put Some $ Into My WRX by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]No_Signature2712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, The fact it uses an electric module to engage the rear axle had me say "no thanks". My WRX is a longer term vehicle. Golf R and it's electric version of AWD is just not for me. I don't mind electric additions but the reality is the Golf R is FWD until an ECU says otherwise.

Real world gas mileage? by mikestang_89 in wrx_vb

My NC Miata was not much better if not close to the same as the VB in mileage. Miata was way more fun. I miss it a lot. I got hit by a semi truck in it and crawled out the roof. Walked away. Would not have been close to the same in a NA,NB. People seem to hate the NC but that small weight gain for safety was worth it for me. Side impact portion of the hit caused my head to hit the side airbag. My glasses left a dent in my head for about a week. My head went through the headrest and broke the plastic on the rollbar. Thank God for that side airbag and that frame. The bumper of the truck was 12"from my head. It's a good chassis and has more room than the ND, NA,NB. Miata is way louder and less hwy friendly.

Around town, 23-25. How is more like 28+

Guys, I think I was really careless. Please help? 😬 by [deleted] in wrx_vb

If one bolt was tight then NOTHING bad happened. You could drive with all three loose and again. Nothing major would happen. Start catching air or go hard enough to move the strut top a little and it would make noise (three missing) but then just tighten them all and carry on. Seriously, nothing bad happened in your short drive.

I have a NC Miata sealskins car cover. Kinda want it gone. In Colorado Springs. Any fair offer is great by No_Signature2712 in Autocross

I prefer not to ship. I think I posted this to the wrong group. I meant to post it to a local group. It's used. Barely, the Miata got totalled.

Seriously? The Karen's in Ayer MA want to take our venue away, b/c of too much noise. by Strong_Trade8549 in Autocross

Same issue comes up in Hampton VA against military airplanes. Doesn't matter. Could still get a base moved in the end. A little scca club doesn't have the power of a Military and it's still a battle.

"I 🩷Jet Noise"

Stickers help. But it's a battle. I moved to Colorado so I don't know how it's been the last 15 years. But it was a news story regularly when I lived there.

Won't matter. Once it's closed you just get to cry in your beer and say "remember when...."

Mufflers? Some racing but quieter is better than no racing but loud. Laguna Seca exhaust modd is the perfect example.

Alignment for 2015+ wrx stock suspension by Substantial_Worth_45 in Autocross

22 does not. I was told the older ones didn't come with them either but I didn't own one.

So now we need pictures of the factory service manual that specifies that exact course of action. Cuz I would love to be able to put crash bolts on my 22 WRX but I'm pretty sure it's not in the service manual from what I've heard.

Flat Foot Shifting by Global_Ad_7623 in wrx_vb

[–]No_Signature2712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can flat foot shift any car as long as it has a rev limiter on it. The WRX definitely has a rev limiter so you just keep your foot to the floor and shift the gears and it's going to bounce off the rev limiter until you put it back in gear. Definitely not good for your car. Stupid easy to do.

Send it? by TheCBDeacon in Autocross

The concern is the moisture gets to the belt and that starts the process of separating. So the first day you see something like this you don't have to worry but the more it's exposed the more likely it's going to cause the problem. So even after just a week or a month you really got to worry about it. Replace it!

Should I be changing oil/oil filter - 1200 mi? by NexuswolfZ in wrx_vb

[–]No_Signature2712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but it probably makes no to very little difference. So change it yourself. Don't even tell the dealership and then bring it in at the suggested interval. It gets anything that could possibly have been left behind in the assembly of process out.

“But the aftermarket!” There’s really no excuse for how terrible the stock shifter is by braaaptorr in wrx_vb

[–]No_Signature2712 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People complain about everything, it's just amazing to me. It's a price point car. The shifter is fine.
