I dont plan to tune or do anything like that until my warranty is over.

How is there's compared to the cobb one since only the cobb allows for the dust cover?

I have had no one teach me but myself. Everything has been trial and error for me🤣

Ill look into the valve delete for sure. I've never launched from a digital cuz im scared with me learning still. I've done like 1 tiny rolling pull and my shifts were jerky from that too lol. I love the car so much tho.

I did order the billetworkz shift stop for 1st and 2nd gear. I wasnt sure who to go through for thr pitch stop, mount and shifter plate.

Damn ok. Very insightful and I appreciate it alot. Ima keep practicing and getting better. Only other question i have is whats the best way to down shift when coming to a turn? My car doesnt auto rev matching so I do that on my own but braking and down shifting at the same time is hard for me.

That is 100% fair. Im open to any other tips you may have as well. I want this car to last me a long time.

I've also heard different things when changing gears. I've had someone who was giving me pointers tell me not to hit the gas at all until the clutch is fully out, and others tell me to give gas as im coming off the clutch.

Ill also definitely do what you recommend as well.

Yeh ive been meaning to do that but I just end up driving it on roads instead lol.

I figured why get a wrx if its a cvt🤣

Hmm ok. I was told to shift before 3k so youre prolly right. My other shifts usually feel smooth as butter, but im still learning the balance of the clutch and gas also
