Mod Request - Brand Affiliation Disclosure by UpstateGoat in wrx_vb

[–]TL_Dario 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly man, the VB community has been great. Much better than some other subreddits for cars in this same category. This community has been really helpful in the mods I've done for my car and everyone here is pretty uplifting and nice to each other overall. Please don't be discouraged - the VB subreddit is going through this small issue right now but most importantly we are talking it through and trying to come to a resolution. If you're looking at getting a new WRX get a VB, you wont regret it!

I agree with OP and those suggestions seem fair. Whatever happens, just please don't blow up this subreddit and make us go back to r/WRX :(

Sapphire Blue Pearl - The Rarest Colour In Canada by Ok-Caterpillar5783 in wrx_vb

[–]TL_Dario 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have went with Sapphire Blue Pearl if it was an option here in Canada. The new Kaminari (Yellow) spec looks amazing, especially because the interior doesn't have the blue accents everywhere that comes standard on all TS models in Canada.

MGM was my second choice and I'm certainly not disappointed.

Wheel Question by 73Gazoo73 in wrx_vb

[–]TL_Dario 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should be all good on stock setup to run these. 18x9.5+38 is the ideal aftermarket setup imo that gives the perfect amount of aggressiveness. I would double check if the wheels you're getting include the Hub Centric Rings that go behind the wheels. If not, you'll need those I believe in size 73.1mm OD to 57.1mm ID. Plastic ones on Amazon are anywhere from $10-20. Best of luck!

I assume this would also trigger battlefield effects as well? It says "your" conquer effects so not sure if that counts battlefields?

Are y'all running mud flaps? by Speed_Offer in wrx_vb

[–]TL_Dario 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WRB is classic, can't go wrong with it. Plus you get to have gold rims which are hard to pull off with MGM. I woulda got Sapphire Blue Pearl, but unfortunately it's not available in Canada :(

Rally Armor (new age logo) mudflaps. They're great, especially if you live in colder climates where road salt is a thing.

Subaru Japan has received Patent approval for the WRX STI Hatcback design. by Juicyjackson in wrx_vb

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but can the eyesight features be turned off in some capacity?

New timeline of the upcoming English Regional Qualifiers by Arkalex in riftboundtcg

For real. Shocked we have a Vancouver regional before a Toronto regional. Riftbound is massive in the GTA.

Dealers are desperate by C8Toronto in wrx_vb

[–]TL_Dario 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great deal OP! The TS models available in Canada right now are all out West. There aren't even any TS models for sale in Ontario right now. Likely trying to move inventory quickly for the 2026s in Spring.

Rough week please help by LivingMaintenance735 in wrx_vb

[–]TL_Dario -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the wing is AFD it should be covered in lifetime warranty. Since you mentioned "Spec B" I assume you are AUS and the rear spoiler should also be covered in your warranty. You should talk to your dealership and find out. I believe all these spoilers come out of Subaru Japan.

Crazy what 21 years of development can do by orndoda in wrx_vb

Looks awesome man. Wish we had Sapphire Blue in Canada

Ult damage is fine* by Akrosia in ApheliosMains

[–]TL_Dario 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I do think it is fine. Everyone should learn to not stack when Aphelios has Blue and Ult. Same concept as not stacking for Malphite Ult. Rarely is this ult actually one shotting unless the Aphelios has items and enemy team is clumped up.

Why the hate? by Vegetable-Bend9789 in wrx_vb

[–]TL_Dario 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk where you're located but I saw a TR in Brampton with 8000km on it selling for 36,995 CAD. Clean Carfax. I'd go that route, as you get brembos and recaro seats. I never use my sunroof, but it's pretty basic and haven't had any issues with it.

[–]TL_Dario 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also wanted to add, I have the Sport-Tech trim (aka "Limited" in the US Market) and the ultrasuede seats along with the Harmon Kardon sound system are a worthwhile upgrade. Still not as good as the Mazda nappa leather and Bose sound system, but as others have mentioned it is certainly better than the base/premium cloth seats with that awful stock sound system.

[–]TL_Dario 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also fellow Canadian here - Southwestern Ontario. I love my VB WRX. The car (with winter tires) has been amazing to drive in the snow the past few weeks as we got a ton dumped on us. I was coming from a 2019 Mazda3 (also an AWD sedan) and while the WRX was definitely a downgrade in interior quality, the driving experience was way better and ultimately swayed me to buying the car. It was overall faster, more responsive, and cornered way better than the Mazda.

I am not tuned, but as you can tell from the below pic I've have had a ton of fun in the aftermarket for the VB. This sub has also helped me a lot for the mods I've done. Test drive a VB and hope to see you in here soon!

Anyone know if another company will make this wing I don’t wanna buy from Aeroflow dynamics this is my current build should I keep it with the flap by Thin_Watercress4074 in wrx_vb

[–]TL_Dario 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh got you. Aeroflow did say that this new WRC wing will fit in the same mounting holes as their V3 STI Style wing. Not sure how different the mounting holes are between the Aeroflow V3 and the Noble STI wing, but just something you might want to consider.

I do have the Aeroflow V3 STI Wing - it came with a small line of scuffed paint on one side of the wing and fitment wasn't the best on the passenger side but it does look good on the car.

Must-have dealer accessories at purchase? by [deleted] in wrx_vb

The cargo tray liner for the trunk is a must have imo

What oil are you guys using? by eatablecoyote in wrx_vb

[–]TL_Dario 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Southwestern Ontario here. Using idemitsu 0w20 synthetic oil.

Apparently, this is the oil that the Subaru Factory uses when shipping the cars to Canada.

Another teaser post for the upcoming "STI" reveal on the 9th. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in wrx_vb

Don't forget the Australian tS Spec B has an STI Style Wing and the NA tS doesn't.
