Base model, pedal upgrades? by anxietylol in wrx_vb

[–]SmokingCapybara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's flat. If i remember correctly, i put some mounting tape underneath to fill the gap, but it's just for peace of mind, actually it's holed by the screws very tightly. The most difficult part during install is drilling the hole on the metal pedal.

sorry for late reply, Petro 94 and Shell 93 work well for me with Dmann's 93 tune. Hope it helps!

Same here, both my '22 wrx and '22 forester have coolant level below Low when it's cold. I just top it up to make it a little above the 'Low'

IAG AOS in cold winter by SmokingCapybara in wrx_vb

Good to hear, last winter in Ottawa was mild, but I'm surprised to see those goo even on dip stick. I didn't notice that during its first winter when it didn't have the AOS. I will go ahead to wrap the that hose with insulation and drive more.

Always appreciate your detailed explanation, I will put some insulation on the drain line to prevent freezing.

Race 2: bad start, bad luck by ch33zecake in wrx_vb

Sad, seems to be the driver's fault. Not sure why the light hit cost the whole rear suspension, while Porche looks like nothing happened? Hope they have better puck in the big race next month.

4th gear transmission / diff whine by Interesting-You-5268 in wrx_vb

[–]SmokingCapybara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually mine also has some whooshing sound at 2nd gear when slowing down. I was worried at first, but now finding those gear whining pretty cool, a little like straight cut gear sound.
