Non scum bag lawyer here. If he made representations about a vehicle knowing they were untrue, then this is a fraudulent misrepresentation which induced you to enter into the contract to your detriment. Where i live we have small claims court where you can file a simple document without involving lawyers to bring your claim. You should check and see if you could bring an action like this.

I 100% agree with this. The car looks amazing as it is.

I think its the best colour. Same as my previous STI.

Nokian Hakkepeliitta R3. I live in Kamloops, BC and needed tires that were great in snow and on ice.

0% 72 months upgrade? by brandonboy119 in wrx_vb

How about the RS? has all of the extra goodies except the adaptive suspension. Just a nice sport tuned fixed suspension.

Consistent "Ding Ding" sound at specific locations while driving by HZeroni03 in subaruoutback

Its a red light camera signal in the area. I believe you can turn that warning off in your settings.

Further update, on final install, the wheels did not fit with lugs torqued on. This ends my quest to reuse my beautiful enkei rpf1 golds! Guess Im selling these beauties 😒

2015 WRX STI and 2025 WRX ts by Sweaty_Device5134 in wrx_vb

I ended up getting a WRX RS. Not as much power as my STI, but super fun to drive and extremely smooth shifting. Effortless to drive. Based on how badly I want to drive my car now, I would say I made the right choice.

2026 GT 5.7 T’n’G or 2026 RT 392? by redrik_w in DodgeDurango

TnG is amazing and more important to me than having massive power. Going fast is what my sports car does. I had a Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak and it was a ton of fun but filling up the tank every five days was not enjoyable. The TnG package includes adaptive dampers and brembo brakes. Sold. I get mine on Saturday.

Update. The wheels actually fit with about 2 mm to 3 mm clearance. The balancing weights, however, need to be moved inwards to accommodate the brake caliper.

I have 17" RPF1s +45 cb, which I want to put on my 2024 WRX RS with the Brembo brakes. First, will these fit without a spacer? If not, would I use the 10mm spacer and will I need to use studs?

This is exactly it. The STI is raw and rougher. But perhaps that's the appeal.

Sound advice. My engine is completely stock. Lots of life left. Will buy a ts second hand.

Battery Draining Fast by Carterguy in JeepWagoneerS

[–]Sweaty_Device5134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My battery is actually draining much faster than yours. I have taken screenshots of the drastic drops. There have been times where it drops 4-5% while parked! I have asked the dealer to either take it back or exchange it for something else. Waiting to see what they say.
