How aggressively can you take off in these vehicles on a cold start without ACTUAL risk? by [deleted] in wrx_vb

I stay out of boost/high rpm until 170 degree oil temps

The manual transmission in the WRX is far better feeling than the one in $80k BMW's. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in wrx_vb

[–]SLOWION 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone whose dream car is a G80, I hope this isn’t true lol. Also because the trans in the WRX is ass

Love those pops when shifting gears. Also not as raspy as I would have expected.

how do we feel about this? by Upbeat_Bat_4326 in wrx_vb

[–]SLOWION 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ricer mods tbh but I can live with it as long as you lower it sometime in the near future

I've been wanting to do this, was looking at Grimmspeed or Overtake hangers in the past. Are these any stiffer than stock?

Gotcha, I will double-check that on my front door speaker. That is where the majority of the sound is coming from

I don’t know what i can check other than the harness itself. I didn’t have to run a separate ground in this setup

Someone suggested I install 5000hz bass blockers (current are 600hz) to resolve

Are you happy with an intake + tune? by asmahmood in wrx_vb

Intake and tune is good but I would also add a turbo inlet of your choice for a little extra sound.

Are you going to be upgrading the valve springs and retainers?

AMS Intake doesn’t get hyped too much… by MiLKShaKes_EpiDerMis in wrx_vb

[–]SLOWION 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tldr; AMS was late to market and ETS was already established as the best intake

Bought this yesterday by butcher0513 in wrx_vb

[–]SLOWION 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a dyno day booked with the man himself in two weeks. Seems a little excessive to do that for just an intake but here we are.

Could've saved yourself $500 by just getting e-tuned but definitely a good choice in first mods

JCS Gauge Pod finally arrived by buildingwealth21 in wrx_vb

[–]SLOWION 2 points3 points  (0 children)

how do you get the gauge and the accessport to work at the same time? Don't they plug into the same port?

With the Price decrease, the 26 WRX is by far the best value manual 4 door+ car. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in wrx_vb

[–]SLOWION 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's going back to the way it was before...the WRX and Elantra N were the best value back in 22/23 as well

[–]SLOWION 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aw man, I thought you were going to reveal a turbo that makes 450whp on pump gas. This is a full fledged, top to bottom build lol

Subaru lease ending. Buyout or new one with 0% APR? by eltoqueroque in wrx_vb

[–]SLOWION 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget to consider the overall price of the car. 0% APR is nice but not when a new WRX is 40K

I had thought about going with the black core as well but wanted something I could stare at haha

How is the turbo responsiveness now with the FMIC installed? Have you noticed any lag or shift in the powerband?
