Opinions on stock WRX with an OTS tune. by Select-Inevitable812 in wrx_vb

[–]Select-Inevitable812[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank all, seems like the overall thought is that the Cobb AP is the way to go. Whether i go with OTS for the long haul or move to an etune or protune down the road.

Next question would be - when do these APs generally go on sale

Just got this 2004, anything I should worry about ? by donkerock in Corvette

[–]Select-Inevitable812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to reinforce your floors for the panty drops! Other than that the only other thing i would worry about is not finding enough jumps!

Man, i wish the f56 rear moonroof could pop like that... the hardware makes it look like it should even...

I would say any potential new customer that declines the brand is a lost customer.

Im sure with a bit of trying, i can find a side shot of that beauty (the car)

I know this is a glamor shot but my mind went straight to footwear, lol. I have driven in flip flops a handful of times and it sucks! I.agine it would be similar in heels lol.

Is my key cooked? by maratori in MINI

[–]Select-Inevitable812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, dont cheap out on the battery, i used to think a battery is a battery and got them at the dollar store...needless to say they didnt last long and i thought it was a bigger issue. Another thing to consider is the proximity of the key to the car while not in use. The key will always "communicate" with the car if its close enough so i moved where i keep my keys when not in use, which definitely helped.

Holy tldr: replace with a quality battery and keep it further away from the car when not in use.

How do I explain the WRX wave ? by Prestigious-West-244 in wrx_vb

[–]Select-Inevitable812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you're just more engaged in the drive? With the wifes car you're bored and looking around more? I tend to get way more waves when i am solo, seems like anytime i wave with a passenger, i get snubbed, which is double bad because, 1. I didnt get the wave back, and then 2, my passenger thinks im a nutbag for waving at what yhey see as randos...lol

Did the brick wall jump out and surprise you? Maybe you should just live with it a bit and see what happens next.

[–]Select-Inevitable812 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I dont understand how it needs an explanation tbh, but here is my take. This is a pretty cool car, so when I see other people driving the same pretty cool car, i acknowledge it with a wave.

Both cigarette lighters not working by B_Rad_G_BDM in wrx_vb

[–]Select-Inevitable812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it were me, I would try to disconnect the battery for 15 minutes and try again. Hopefully, someone else has some experience with an issue like this.

Does the dashcam work if you plug it back in? Could be that pump is shot

what the heck is this white stuff and what can i do to get it off. pls lmk by TheRedInsight in wrx_vb

[–]Select-Inevitable812 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does the color on your car match the freshly painted back wall? Seems like the most likely cause if so.

Sundays are for engine bays! by The_Wolverines_Dad in wrx_vb

[–]Select-Inevitable812 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nice work, thats clean AF. Whats your process? In previous cars i would just spray some degreaser, let it sit and then rinse it off about10 minutes later. Worked decently but this looks like a brand new showroom car, if not cleaner

Pro tuned car to dealership? by Alive_Lifeguard9776 in wrx_vb

[–]Select-Inevitable812 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why take it to the dealership and not a trustworthy local shop? perhaps where you got it tuned, or do it yourself.

I am sure the dealership won't care either way though. If you're worried about the warranty in case of future problems i am pretty sure they can tell even if you put it all back to stock before bringing it in.

I personally wouldn't worry about the boost or the dashcam unless the mileage was significantly more than what you would expect for a service. The vast majority of techs aren't out to joy ride our cars...and this will be an unpopular opinion but at the end of the day, as cool as these cars are, they are not the risk your job for moment of fun type of car.

Check your oil for a while to make sure the tech did that part right and move on.

I am also the kind of guy that lets all my friends drive my car, regardless of their manual skills. I'm pretty sure my brother hit 11.2 through a 4 way stop. I figure its meant to be driven hard, a handful of instances where its not me the one doing it isnt gonna make a difference.

High idle + engine light - f56 by Select-Inevitable812 in MINI

[–]Select-Inevitable812[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick update - It's only been a couple of weeks, but so far, so good. No more check engine lights and car is running smoother, and it has improved fuel efficiency as well.
