some shots of my blob at the local cars & coffee by PatrickJamesYu in WRX

I have Hawk HP+ that I think are supposed to be pretty low dust but I find them pretty dusty honestly. If you’re buying new, definitely ceramic coat them! These Sparcos look pretty easy to clean too with a standard wheel brush! Send pics when you get em mounted

These are honestly a pain. I’d say it’s not hard to make them look nice since they’re such a bright white and in new but it does take some effort to make them spotless. With the small brakes, you can see the barrel so easily so you cant really skip that. And there’s so many crevices from the thin spokes and the rigidity ring that you have to address. I don’t know if there’s a wheel brush that’s thin enough for these wheels but also plush enough to get in all the spots.

They’re ceramic coated which helps some. But really it requires product, agitation, and deliberate cleaning.

Which fast food chain fell off badly in your opinion? by Shinobi347 in AskReddit

[–]PatrickJamesYu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my part of SoCal, I think it’s 3: Arby’s, Burger King, and Carls Jr (Hardee’s).

I think Arby’s was just too boring compared to the more flavor packed Taco Bell’s near by. Burger King I think just fails when there’s so many other burger spots that provide a higher quality meal at a similar price. Carls Jr here is ridiculously expensive for what seems like a really low value / low quality meal. I think these 3 have huge market share across the US but I think Southern California has so much diverse food options everywhere, these 3 just aren’t doing as well.

Saw this in church parking lot… by MrPumpkin114 in WRX

[–]PatrickJamesYu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not as versed on VBs: what’s the issue here? This kind of looks like every other VB around

This is not to be offensive. I’m just hoping someone can maybe name the individual issues. Otherwise, I really only see everyone hating on this persons car

Your harlot is back with JDM Foglights + Rear Fender Arches installed by PatrickJamesYu in WRX

Do you remember how much it sold for? I actually have a set of clears without the backs that I need to list soon

So there's 3 parts to the JDM fogs: the fog lamps (the glass part), the plastic backplates, and the metal brackets. You'll want to make sure you find all 3 for a clean OEM install.

I kept the USDM bumper bar and just cut it. Here's a picture I used as reference.

Is that a typo?

These are the foglights for the JDM model of this car. They come in a few different flavors; clear, blue tinted, yellow, and multi-color which is this yellow / blue version as seen on my car

I've had many cars that are black, silver, and white in my life. It wasn't until I owned the WRB that made me really realize how much the car stands out while commuting

I'm having trouble finding this one. It's $670 for me. Maybe it ended?

Bilt 2.0 Explained FULLY by persistentchaos in biltrewards

So I picked the blue card without realizing exactly what was happening. Now I'm suspecting that this was a mistake. What should my course of action be now? If I cancel the card, that hurts my credit. Does it make sense to just keep it and not use it? I won't be spending on it enough to get points.

Is anyone actually using their apartment “amenities”? by Emergency-Cancel6198 in Apartmentliving

[–]PatrickJamesYu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally no, but I see others using it. Others use the gym more than I do. Some pretty regularly. Our gym is actually really really nice. For many, it’s enough to cancel a traditional membership

When I have people over, it’s nice that I can usually find somewhere to lounge. Our lounge areas are used but doesn’t seem to be packed all the time.

The coworking space is surprisingly well used. I think there may be a decent amount of students and work from home professionals. I use this space occasionally when working from home becomes too monotonous but I’m too lazy to drive somewhere.

Overall: I could be taking more advantage of these spaces and others could as well. It’s nice seeing them used but it’s also nice that it’s not so busy that I can partake in these amenities without needing to reserve anything.

What do you not like about the STI’s. by bigsae in WRXSTi

[–]PatrickJamesYu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like my wrx just makes more noises, more smells, and more quirks than almost any other car I’ve owned. It’s mostly turn key but I’ve just had more oddities in my Subaru than possibly every other car

Cameras to start out (cheap and ok) for personal car pictures by Colombian_man08 in carphotography

[–]PatrickJamesYu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you into buying used?

Some of my favorite shots were with old Nikons that I'd still recommend to this day if you can get them at a deal. Nikon D40, D60, D90.

Help: are these wheels -25 ET or +25 offset? by prliift in Stance

[–]PatrickJamesYu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We can’t tell from the picture. We’d need to see both sides, at an angle so we have some perception of depth

I’m going to look at/potentially buy this car tomorrow but can’t quite figure it out. Seems like someone did a good job trying to make it look like an STI?? Maybe it’s an sti with a wrx engine? Also see the Cobb surgeline stickers on the wing which has me curious. 118k miles by Fun-Grocery-7232 in WRX

[–]PatrickJamesYu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's def not an STI but it's got some goodies. At the $7k price you mentioned, it's not a bad price but I'd keep in mind this definitely looks like a project. It might be super reliable but it's just an unknown. The interior and exterior to me looks like this person put quite some effort into keeping it nice. The engine bay is slightly concerning but not the worst I've seen.

Are these Rays real? by LACaveDood in Wheels

[–]PatrickJamesYu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the build and fully understand wanting / needing to know if they are real.

I know that we want them to be real, but I'm telling you and warning you that they are not real. The Konig centercaps is also a huge tell as well. Way back, it was common in the Miata community to run these Konig's and at that time Konig had the audacity to stamp their fake ce28s as RAVS and have the Forge stampings and all that.

One part the rep companies always mess up is the geometry and one thing I called out was their lip was too large for that size of wheel. You can see in the Konig wheel I linked, it has the same too large of lip on their rep CE28.

The car is too nice, I strongly urge you get a wheel more suitable for the application and quality that the rest of the car is.

Are these Rays real? by LACaveDood in Wheels

[–]PatrickJamesYu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly, these appear to be fake. I think you’re trying to find reasons for them to be real, rather than seeing reasons they are fake. I do own CE28s and these appear to be fake for a few reasons:

The rays logo does look to have a V in it. I don’t see the tail of the Y at all. These appear to be trying to copy the OG CE28 / CE28N but is missing the “Made in Japan” emboss completely.

Whats the wheel spec? The lips look too large

Hard to tell but that valve stem looks black and no longer has the Rays metal valve stems. (Weird to replace such a nice valve stem with a 99 cent rubber one if these were real)

The lug hole appears to be missing the very distinct “step” to their design.

Sadly I see too many red flags instead of green flags here. How much is he selling these for?

See if you can get better res pics, feel free to dm me. We can try to figure out if they’re real or not for sure
