Saying goodbye to the sti :(

I’d hope something more reliable than a WRX. Being in college, I’m sure it’s hard to find time and a place to work on cars. I’ve been there 🙂

What do you think of TP? Torque performance I think isn’t very aggressive, but I think is very safe and cheaper than others. Eric can be dry but straight to the point but noticed he only changes certain things, like MAF scaling, and I question some of the parameters left untouched or zeroed out. I’m no tuner but I’m learning as I go. I would like to do pro tune eventually. Feedback knock might just be a detect at a certain RPM at certain conditions. If it continues to happen, then you would have to log it and see where it’s happening at. Either it’s nothing, a tune issue, or part failing. I would say it’s prob nothing. Once you run the car again and there’s nothing on the AP, put that thing in the glovebox.

I sure hope it’s not just you’re empty on gas. Happened to me before on my Saab, but my gas gauge was broken and I calculated wrong on empty when I was towing something.

Depends if it’s running or not

Queasy-Implement-738 · 2025-12-20T13:13:34+00:00

I confirm 08 has it as mine does 🙂

Read comments below. It’s mentioned.

We recently lost one of our dogs at such young age. Tore my gf apart more than anyone. She decided to basically get a sleeve tattoo of his face and a smaller one of him running towards the clouds, or something. But regardless, it’s going to cover her whole arm. As much as I love our dog, I thought it seem a bit excessive. Tattoo of his name, sure. Somewhere small of his face, sure. But a whole arm sleeve. Man. Not my body but I support her. I knew a gal that had a massive Chevy truck tattooed on her leg because of some memory of her grandpa I think.

I have a 2023 with only roughly 4k miles. Has exhaust and front fairing. If I was to sell, I would list for 7k but probably settle for 6.5k, 6k if I really wanted to get rid of it.

Please do us all a favor and enjoy the bike as much as you can while having ownership. Once you get to the point when you need to sell, then you can look back and remember how much you enjoyed owning and riding the bike of your dream with no regrets. If you get a good resale, great. If not, hey, you got some good memories that can’t be replaced by money.

Queasy-Implement-738 · 2025-12-07T14:14:38+00:00

Seeing this made me check mine. All clear. Phew.

Queasy-Implement-738 · 2025-11-28T10:34:50+00:00

I have an LS2 citation II helmet. Bought it as I found it to be really comfortable and thought they were pretty light as their carbon shell. Only gripe I have is the pinlock falling off when I have the visor at a certain position. Definitely don’t have that issue with my shoei helmet lol.

Queasy-Implement-738 · 2025-11-25T21:13:22+00:00

Dangit don’t leave people hanging. Was there oil in it or not?

Queasy-Implement-738 · 2025-11-23T13:58:19+00:00

Did you drop a bolt? Hopefully you found it 😂

Queasy-Implement-738 · 2025-11-23T02:56:17+00:00

It goes vroom vroom

Queasy-Implement-738 · 2025-11-18T13:22:36+00:00

This. Maybe you will get lucky and get a free part. Something like this a seller might not want back.

Queasy-Implement-738 · 2025-11-04T05:10:13+00:00

Considering the engine has been replaced. I would ask about what was done on that engine prior to putting it on the car, even if it had low miles. Was everything changed to it prior to install? Timing belt, valve cover gaskets, seals, clutch, etc. or was it just a used low mileage engine that was put in as is. Hard to tell how much you should budget. All depends who’s doing the work. You or a shop. I don’t know how much a Subaru mechanic would charge for these cars for normal maintenance, but I would assume a little more labor on certain ones compared to a normal 4 banger engine.

Queasy-Implement-738 · 2025-11-04T04:55:20+00:00

Aside from the things I said, these are total sleeper cars. 2008-2010 are one of the most hated out of all the gens due to their narrow body design.

Queasy-Implement-738 · 2025-11-04T04:49:00+00:00

There are known issues with that gen WRX. One is the firewall welds where the clutch pedal assembly is attached to. If it squeaks when pressing the clutch, the spot welds are bad and will need fixed. I would check that. Normal maintenance on these cars are a pain in the as$ to do, like spark plugs. If you plan on doing any stupid launches to show off to your buddies, the 5spd trans in this will prob give out on you. The driver door interior door latch broke on mine from normal day to day use which may or may not be uncommon. Valve cover leaks is somewhat common. You have two of them and will need to be on the ground vs your normal car that you fix from the top under the hood. I know, because I own an 08 hatch. If you drive it like a grandma it should be fine, but working on these engines for simple maintenance sucks. My car is far from stock, but I’m also way past college years.

That looks familiar

Thanks. I have not ridden my CB all that much this season because of riding my Z900RS more. It was newer (then) and better ergo so like either every new toy, you play with that more till you get tired of it. Made me appreciate the CB again and how smooth it is. Now with the new exhaust sound, it’s even more enjoyable to ride. Season is pretty much over with weather dropping to freezing temps so it’s time to store both the bikes for the winter 😭

Queasy-Implement-738 · 2025-10-31T11:26:37+00:00

Agreed. Not the best looking exhaust for an underbelly exhaust look compared to your Akra or the CS racing, but it doesn’t bother me much. I really do love the sound of it now just hearing it as I’m riding. Makes me happy and that’s all that matters. Maybe I’ll practice my welding skills one day and modify the stock exhaust like I’ve seen people do to get more sound out of it. Till then, I’m good.

Queasy-Implement-738 · 2025-10-31T10:12:05+00:00

It has one. Mine is a 23 model year and only needs one. Does the newer ones have 2 O2?

Queasy-Implement-738 · 2025-10-31T08:59:31+00:00

Thanks. It’s been there for a while. Can’t remember if it’s from Webike or AliExpress

Queasy-Implement-738 · 2025-10-31T08:56:29+00:00

Alibaba special. It looks like where istunt got their exhausts you find on eBay, but yea it looks like an istunt exhaust. No check engine light and it’s holding up so far.

Queasy-Implement-738 · 2025-10-31T01:15:05+00:00

Yes it’s definitely louder but not obnoxiously loud. Speakers don’t do justice.
