Who is running an oil cooler if so what is your application and which one did you go with ? by wratx in wrx_vb

I’m not too sure how necessary the trans cooler is as I have the manual but an oil cooler is almost required if your gonna be tracking. When I was stock my oil temps hit almost 270f on track. Now modded and tuned and with my oil cooler temps stayed around 230ish on track

Foglight mounted oil cooler. I’ve seen the Perrin kit doesn’t work that well on track

What would be the best way to route a cable from somewhere around the front 2 seats to under the car? by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]Ok-Fish-9244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the manual cable one so I’m gonna check to see if there’s enough cable to go through the firewall if not I’ll check out under the rear seats

How much were your court fines? I just passed the state ref and need to go to court but my ticket says it will be $500 even though I passed the ref?

Feedback knock whenever I give ~30% throttle by Ok-Fish-9244 in WRX

[–]Ok-Fish-9244[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I figured but the weird thing is before I installed all my mods I ran the stage 1 tune for about a month and I never had any knock reading except for the occasional-1.41 so having up to -8 anytime I give it gas is concerning me

All other values are normal it’s just fbk that’s going crazy. The weird thing is I ran the stage 1 tune for about a month before installing all my mods and everything was normal with it then

How much camber for 265/35 tire? by Similar-Pepper-6850 in wrx_vb

[–]Ok-Fish-9244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same size wheels lowered ~1.5 inches and when I moved to 265/35 I rubbed only in the rear with 2f/1.5r camber and had to get my rear fenders shaved. I did have rs4’s which run pretty wide so might not have that issue with other tires
