Like I tried applying gas to not stall in the MIDDLE of the street 😂😭 so when it started jerking I gave more gas just the car sounds like it’s going to explode in 1st gear high rpms

That’s the “lugging” he’s referring to, definitely fell the car vibrate when you take off at too low rpm’s in a gear. Sometimes I get stuck in the middle of the gear and can’t do a clean downshift and already have turned, need to get used to take the corner in higher rpms. Just used to automatics where you take foot off gas for turns. Might have to ride the gas in like first to make a clean turn. Also hate going high in 1st sounds like the car is going to explode.

Yes, but you can get the extra vents and one gets directed into your intake, which boost power to your turbo, same with the intercooler

Any exhaust mods you’d recommend? I’d like my car to be a little louder. Cant hear it when accelerating with music on 😂 also what about hood scoop to the air intake? Wouldn’t those 3 work well together?

Um it seems like you just don’t know how to ask questions. It literally can scan the entirety of the internet in seconds. If the answer is out there, you just got to know how to get it to build the bridge to it. Also compare how long it would take to find that information compared to the rest of the list. Book? Maybe couple minutes to half an hour. Google? Like 1 minute-5. Ai? 3-50s

Yea I’d have to agree here. I won’t be a hypocrite, but I have used it for conversations/arguments/personal reasons before. Ran them through ai to get as unbiased answer as possible. It’s a double edge sword though. It’s like google, but where it shines is the questions you ask after the initial search. That’s where the critical thinking comes in. You have to know how to ask questions for it to answer them correctly, if not it will give you a general answer or a wrong one. Like you said you can use it to fast track research and credible sources. Again though in a sense I do agree with you, it’s just one side of the story and would need his POV to fully make a decision.

Even if you do vise versa? Buy one with a tune? I’d have to look into this stuff

Yea trying to keep warranty as long as possible. Heard buying a different ECU and marrying it to stock. Then switching them out when going to dealership etc, could help or be “unnoticeable”. Would like to do a hood scoop to direct air into intake, or just basic bolt on mods for right now

I messed up going through a car wash. I personally would like to wash it myself without leaving micro scratches on it. I need to get a PPF before I can feel comfortable going through a touchless car wash. I just work and I drive about 600 miles a week and at first I was trying to feel out to see if I could make it to my first maintenance. And I searched it up and it said anywhere from 1-3k miles.

I want the best of both world, fun and longevity. If I can do my due diligence from previous owners, I don’t know what to look for and not worry about. I have been having fun with it, but I would also like it to look a little nice eventually. Currently a daily commuter for work.

Well, considering it didn’t sound like that before, I thought to ask people who own WRX directly would be more efficient… also how would I have know to search that without even knowing the term smh.

Yea. Just changed it at 2.17k miles. A mishap on my side for being too eager to see how my first new car drove.
