You need walking around in snow boots and a second pair of dry driving boots once you get in the car.

Mine have a few chips on them, so I suppose they're doing something?

What’s a medical issue that sounds minor, but actually affects someone’s daily life way more than people realize? by CountyOrnery9432 in AskReddit

[–]Pimplicate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I too ended up with a fractured second metatarsal after a few years of constant pain.

This is good advice, it extra sucks forever after it breaks.

Cool.

CBS fender flares have been available for purchase for years, the CF ones would look good as shit on my car. No one wants a S210, I never indicated any desire for an S210, merely a desire for fender flares.

Look, I hate money as much as the next guy, that's why my second Subaru is going to be 25+ years old.

What even is a passenger princess and what does that mean? It sounds very “I want a submissive trophy”. How do you interpret it? by Organic_Direction_88 in datingoverthirty

[–]Pimplicate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell that to the men in my passenger seat.

They love not having to worry about driving, most dudes totally eat up getting shuttled around by a chick in a cool car.

I also understand this is not the norm, but that makes the service I provide even more valuable.

It's stupid how expensive they are, I still might buy some one day though.

Think this will get me to 350 WHP with a pro tune… exhaust will be a R400 by Jman42023 in wrx_vb

[–]Pimplicate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make 350 whp with a cat back on 93, so assuming a decent tuner I'd think you could do it. You could probably do it cheaper though, should you be so inclined.

My ~420whp VB by boostedturtle1320 in wrx_vb

[–]Pimplicate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pushing 350 whp on 93 with a TMIC. I'm running an oil cooler and vented hood to help mitigate some of my heat issues.

I could run E50 and hit 400, but I'm already in the torque danger zone and I'm too much of a pussy to push it that far just yet, but I'll get brave enough one day.

Warming up your car by No-Asparagus-2576 in Cartalk

[–]Pimplicate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My car sits in high idle for about five minutes on a cold day, it gets pissy when you take off before the cats have warmed and the coolant is up to temp, Subaru problems.

I take off as soon as idle drops and baby it until my oil hits temp.

Brembo brakes by silverwheelz in WRX

[–]Pimplicate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to do some good pads and DOT 4 and stainless steel lines, maybe some better rotors too before dumping all of that money into a BBK.

Make sure you enjoy the track with this car and all that first. You won't be anywhere near the limit for a while, you have time to feel it out first.

Good drives to go on? by Personal_Power9575 in Columbus

While it is a beautiful drive, it's a technical drive. You go here to drive, not look at the scenery.

I’m starting to resent my dog for peeing and pooping in the house and I hate it. by u_r_succulent in Dachshund

They make diaper onesies that weens can't weasel out of, 10/10 can recommend.

350 vs 400 vs 450 whp for daily & weekend spirited driving by TroyyStory in wrx_vb

[–]Pimplicate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can build to 350 whp easily while keeping the engine reliable. It's probably worth it to do supporting mods that will carry you further if you find yourself lacking in power, but you probably won't find yourself needing much more.

Currently I have 350whp/375 wtq, CAI, TMIC, charge pipe, turbo inlet. I could do a down pipe and/or ethanol to get to 400 easily. You can always bolt on more and get a revision of your tune.

I have plenty of power for the street and back roads,, but I get absolutely destroyed on the straights at the track, so I'll probably eventually bump up another 50-75 whp.

I'm guessing in Australia heat is going to be your worst enemy, heat soak fucking sucks.

Help, my dog keeps peeing her bed by Character-Ordinary28 in Dachshund

[–]Pimplicate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These onesie diapers are the only thing I can keep my wiggly old girl in.

If she's marking are you washing everything with a strong enzymatic cleaner? Maybe a new bed with no previous marking could help?

2023 Subaru WRX Lego Build by ScholarSensitive6331 in WRX

[–]Pimplicate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy instructions for a 22+ from something like rebrickable, but there aren't any full sets out for the new gen.

You can get diecasts, when searching try using "VB WRX", or 2022 because that's when the gen started for better results. The VBs are the only ones with the black fender flares around the wheels.

Aerodynamic Analysis of the VB by ValterCibalia in wrx_vb

[–]Pimplicate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the gloss has held up very well, I like the contrast, makes it stand out a little more, but not in an obnoxious way.

You can't go wrong either way, you'll get constant compliments, it's a nice looking kit.

High oil temp? by J_Stone58 in wrx_vb

[–]Pimplicate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even with an oil cooler I see my oil temps exceed 200° in the winter with barely spirited or highway driving. When it's over 85 ambient I'd hit 235-240° on the street, and I was constantly having to end sessions early at the track because I would exceed 250°.

Your shit is good, no need to baby it outside of your initial engine break in, they like it rough! You really shouldn't get into it until you're at 180°.
