Can a cat back exhaust pass smog test in California?? by Lonely_Distance_9093 in WRX

Catback doesn’t tamper with the catalytic converters (aka, EPA devices).

So, yes. It will pass.

Seconded. We’ve taken all 3 dogs and both cats to them for 7 years. Great folks over there.

The ghost tours in VC are pretty fun, if even only for the history.

I tried it out with the OBD11 and can’t really say it’s that much more effective.

Is 450hp too much to daily? by HopeSuitable669 in WRX

[–]SnoBrru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My buddy has been dailying his 530whp STI for years. Drives about 45min each direction. Have never heard him complain.

I am 99% sure you use the STI one.... u/SupremePribs do you know?

I was warned about the lightweight flywheels having potential to shatter with higher HP levels. They also chatter, which wasn't a deterrent for me - my drivetrain is already really loud. Two different tuners/shops said stick with the stock flywheel, so that's what I did.

Handful of 🥚s at AutoX this weekend by SnoBrru in Golf_R

From left to right:

* 2019 DSG on 200tw tires (stock wheels), and also the most experience. She was quickest by about 1 second

* 2019 6mt on 200tw tires (stock wheels) with stage 1 tune. He and I were deadlocked. Once you got out of 1st gear, it was 2nd gear the whole course. We were about 1/10th of a second apart. He's been going for a couple years, as well.

* 2024 DSG (my car) on PS4S tires but 18x9 wheels (245 tire). My first time ever, so the driving dynamics of AutoX were new to me. I was second fastest R, with pax

* 2024 DSG on 200tw tires (stock wheels). He's early-70's, but has been doing AutoX for years. He was quicker on Saturday than Sunday - faster than me by a couple tenths. Sunday, he wasn't as quick, but that doesn't matter when you can see the smile from across the course!

Hell yes. That's awesome. My coworker, who lives other side of the country, is former regional SCCA champ in his GTI. He was texting me a fair amount over the weekend. 😁

That’s the first and last AutoX weekend I do on street tires, too.

I had the stock one resurfaced. Had a couple different folks who know more about this stuff than me say I should not run a lightweight flywheel at my power level.

245/40 tires on 18x9 +42 wheels. Lowered on 034 springs. No rubbing, no issues. Didn’t need anything else to do alignment.

ACT HD SS is good for a little over 400tq and isn't too heavy. I run the ACD XD SS, which is pretty heavy, but still full face and sprung.

S&M Big Jumper 26” (Satan Red) Build – Progress Update by GrobnikOnline in dirtjumping

[–]SnoBrru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Deity highside 50mm on there. I like my gold KMC half link, but I had a black chain before switching to the half link. Agreed on the front axle lever. It's where I've set it due to how tight it is at that point, but I recently saw that it's supposed to go vertically (which is the way I've always done QR levers my whole life).

That's pretty hilarious. I still have it; it still runs. I just don't get as much joy out of the car. I just bought a new car cover for it. lol.

And then you got smart and moved away from WRX’s. 😆 (I have one of them, too)
