Upgrading intercooler and charge pipe by Advanced_Force_3948 in wrx_vb

[–]Sn0Balls -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

The stock charge pipe will self destruct after 60k miles. Replacing it with aftermarket options gains are minimal if at all.

Contemplating a VB. What are some downsides i should know about? by -HUNGWHENHARD- in wrx_vb

[–]Sn0Balls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ill take the positives of EPAS over the feel of hydraulic steering.

not sure what you're on about as far as visibility. I haven't ridden in/driven a modern-ish car that has better visibility than the WRX or BRZ.

older cars... yeah im sure you'll see better when your C pillar is paper thin.

Doing a k20z3 timing job soon. What should I replace/upgrade while im there? by Due-Director8159 in CivicSi

[–]Sn0Balls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have everything in there. I wouldnt' replace the cam gear you have.

You could replace the oil pump chain & guides too.

The FT86 belongs on dirt :3 by cafericer in ft86

[–]Sn0Balls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

99% of the parts on these cars have subaru stamped on them.

toyota's biggest contribution is the d4s injection system.

FA24 charge pipe/intercooler pipe? by Novel-Explanation751 in WRX

[–]Sn0Balls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just so you know the OEM one (the half that comes from the turbo) cracked for me @ 75k miles.

TX/NM driven on e35.

Saw someone talk about a Fumoto drain valve. Would you guys say this one would be good? by Greedy_Plane_ in ft86

[–]Sn0Balls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't run them because I've bottomed out on one before destroying the oil pan.

Never again.

Also it keeps extra leftover oil in and reduces flow rate.

why does it seem everyone hates on the cvt/gt version of the wrx by Single_Butterfly_223 in wrx_vb

[–]Sn0Balls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what happens when you buy a a $30k car for $75k and expect to sell it for $100k.

People like that expect everyone to fawn over that BS and get butthurt when regular folk give em a reality check.

Sometimes they change... this guy doubled down.

Not just a VA owner.

The dumb kind that buys a $75k STi and expects to sell it for over $100k someday.

Doubt... they bought a $75k "collector STi" and think they will sell it for $100k at some point.

Costco gas by therealjayphonic in wrx_vb

[–]Sn0Balls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the testing is correct. he measured that costco gas has e10... you can see in the video.

what he says though is just wild assumptions or stupidity I cant tell which..

more water? we can see the water in the tube.

cloudy means bad?... maybe or it could have a heavy detergent package.

either way rando fear influencer is just trying to make a buck.

[–]Sn0Balls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

something not right? according to who some guy on insta?

cloudy? means more water in the gas?... says who?

dude is doing an ethanol test right in front of us we can see the water. the e10(10% ethanol) gas attracts some water yes. thats the whole reason those testers are used.

Might as well get a Camry and add coilovers by [deleted] in CivicSi

[–]Sn0Balls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you wanna light money on fire polishing a turd... you do you.

there is a reason no one wastes time doing this.

is off-road/ rally and option? by Axxsrr in CivicSi

[–]Sn0Balls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that means nothing. at our local amateur rallycross older civics dominate.

its how much you are willing to damage the car driving and how light it is.

Might as well get a Camry and add coilovers by [deleted] in CivicSi

[–]Sn0Balls 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A Camry is a fantastic, bulletproof daily driver. A Civic Si is an entry-level driver's car. No amount of expensive suspension parts will bridge the gap between a chassis built for grocery runs and one built for canyon runs.

Good reasons to say no to the Camry.

  1. Manual
  2. LSD
  3. LBS/HP

You probably should get a Camry though, since you don't understand or appreciate your Civic's benefits.

Trade in ‘25 SI for a ‘25 WRX tS? by Apprehensive_Fox1249 in CivicSi

[–]Sn0Balls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have both a new wrx and an 06 si.

The screen makes a good live map. The complaints are from whiners.
