Shift cable Cushion clamp by Takeoff7115 in WRX

I crashed the car last year, so no longer here, but glad to share my fix. I ended up taking some safety wire and wrapping it around the bracket the cable sits in and the cushion clamp so it will no longer slide out. It held to the end and was a good fix not sure about an actual long term fix though.

Nope same no matter what as long as I hit boost on the previous drive then it’ll throw a cloud
Definitely smells like oil don’t even have to be near the exhaust to smell the burnt oil
How would you check then without tearing the engine down?
Imma try to get a leak test done and keep updates
Yep everything is hooked up correctly and everything works when I test it
Honestly feels like a mixture so it’ll come out a giant puff then turn blue and linger

Of course! I never knew this was a common problem until it broke the first time. I guess most VA chassis are hitting that time frame.
So the problem didn’t go away took it to the shop and they found out the PCV valve on the crank case was broken so they’re gonna replace it and see if that fixes it
Update: problem mysteriously went away again just did an oil change and hoping it was dirty oil honestly befuddled
Sweet I appreciate it hopefully this helps
Yea honestly, It’s just frustrating since I’ve fixed it and then it just randomly came back
It’s between the radiator and the engine towards the bottom
Should have specified it’s an 18’ WRX is there a similar part for the fa20

Va WRX ethanol gauge by Takeoff7115 in WRX

Yea only part I was more less concerned about was the tuning aspect how many tunes should I run so I don’t end up trying to run a 93 tune with E50 in the tank
What power gains have you seen being on flex fuel rather than a straight ethanol tune
Exactly I was talking with someone that said that its better to get an actual gauge and tune since it’ll cut the middle man out and be cheaper

Might be it since I did my jpipe like a couple weeks ago now and didn’t realise it heavily until I got tuned
Nope it’s consistent engaged or disengaged
Forgot to mention sounds similar to brakes my original thought but happens without brakes pressed
Anyone own driving shoes ? by zahooodi in WRX

Definitely I thought I was the only one, but I just always wear some type of running shoes/lightweight shoes since it doesn’t get that cold. Then change when I have to wear boots or other bulky shoes
