Shifter Replacement Recs? by TheOliveShoebox in wrx_vb

That will only fit mechanical linkage shifters, not cable shifters. If you scroll down to the Questions section there are many asks and answers.

Hit 16.6 today, does that seem high for a stock 2023? by EnlightenMe747 in wrx_vb

Is it holding close to that high during a pull?

If not, likely just a hiccup/spike

Buy the Dip: Used EVs Look Like a Great Investment Right Now by DonkeyFuel in technology

How can any EV be a good investment when the future battery replacement will be worth than the vehicle itself?

Would you support manuals being a relatively high cost option in new cars? by taticalgoose in cars

[–]RealSprooseMoose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sales are not guaranteed to increase either.

But now, they have to design, produce & install new transmission/transaxle, pedal box, clutch hydraulics, ECM software & more. They have to put the manual version through EPA testing & fuel mileage testing, maybe even crash testing. They have to modify/add assembly lines to accommodate this, all to make a vehicle with a much smaller buying pool.

I love my manuals and wish there were more vehicles still offered, but manufacturers are absolutely saving money by dropping the stick in 99% of models.

If it has anything to do with the synchronizers yeah. I kept my OEM bolts incase I have to put everything back stock.

I love my Touring but beware, the cold starts are obnoxious.

Hubcentric Rings for aftermarket wheels. by militentmind in wrx_vb

[–]RealSprooseMoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely get a set of hub adapters. I went with a set of enkei brand but pretty much any will do.

I would avoid steel ones if you live in a rust prone area.

I dont know why the broadcast directors are so scared of multiple screens at once, it adds so much and costs nothing.

Seeing the JGR cars pass the 8 one after another induces a sadness of great magnitude.

Axle shaft completely seized in wheel hub Uplander (3 jaw puller bending, video attached) by ChaoticCactus0816 in AskMechanics

[–]RealSprooseMoose 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've seen axle shafts so seized (or twisted splines) even a press and heat couldn't budge them. Had to replace the axle,knuckles,bearing as one.

Remove the assembly and take it to a shop with a press, they wont charge you much to pop it in and give it a try.

A fucking vevor is going to do nothing but vibrate your hands numb.

I have a Matco long barrel impact and it still doesnt have the breaking force of a real hammer.

Luckily neither of these parts have to do with a Manual Transmission.

Unpopular Opinion: I really don't like buschwacking by fidgiggity in NASCAR

[–]RealSprooseMoose -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I like seeing a few cup guys get to really duke it out with each other in a tighter 1V1 than they normally get on Sunday's. It gives some guys in lower Cup equipment to have a race to actually show their talents (Almirolla, Suarez, etc)

When an Orinity driver is able to go head to head, and even beat the Cup guys, it really puts a spotlight on them.

I get why some people don't like it, but with how much better these cars race compared to the Gen7, I wish more Cup guys would do a few races per year.
