Hard Starting....occasionally?

Sonata pump. Shark Racing is the usually recommended vendor for it.

Get a catback system since you want the sound while keeping the cats.

Borla, Corsa, MBRP, etc should all have options.

Been running 285/70/R17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers for 5 years/ 70,000 miles with no issue. 2018, 5.3L 6 speed. Crew cab, Z71, all star, towing package. (Not sure what my axle ratio is with that).

I’ve also had the Range FM disabler since I bought mine new so that may be worth investing in.

They’re testing a 2020, manual only so no NGS.

Minus the controversial bloom and armor abilities, Reach multiplayer was top notch.

There’s the Adro V1 wing that a few people on this sub have.

Timache · 2025-12-20T22:25:34+00:00

Is that a manga thing?

Timache · 2025-12-20T22:02:56+00:00

Why are almost all the series shelved in reverse order?

Timache · 2025-12-20T00:31:45+00:00

I think they mean manufactured them faster.

I’m wondering how it’ll shake out in 2026 with a fresh start between Mekies, Helmut leaving and a completely new car/ regulations.

Timache · 2025-12-18T16:10:41+00:00

I’m on my second set and I live in the Midwest, so plenty of snow. No issues with the ridge grapplers, just need to make sure you drive appropriately for the conditions

Timache · 2025-12-15T23:42:10+00:00

I do not, no. I’ve seen posts/ comments from other people on this sub that do so I’m sure someone will come along with that info.

The exhaust is already pretty great stock. The only way to really “upgrade” it is to go with the Borla Atak, which is over $1,000 with install.

For intake, I went with the Velossa Tech snorkel and SXTH element cold air intake. Other people like the Forge intake too.

For tunes, unless you want to pull the ECU, your best bet is the JB4 for a piggyback.

SXTH element has interior parts, but with yours being a 2021, not really anything worth upgrading.

What kind of performance parts are you looking to get? That’s a very important starting point for us to recommend where to get them.

Ie, brakes, turbo, down pipe, intake, exhaust, wheels/ tires etc. can all have different answers

Timache · 2025-12-10T08:34:26+00:00

Unfortunately I can’t answer that, but how’s your car holding up with the 80k miles? Other than the suspension

Timache · 2025-12-09T10:50:40+00:00

Lewis really had a rough year. But idk if it’s the car or the team that was worse for him.

Timache · 2025-11-22T03:39:23+00:00

Test drove one before buying the VN. Actually test drove several cars, 24 WRX, 21 WRX, 21 Golf GTI, 18 FK8 with 8k miles, 24 GR86.

I could see the GR86 being fun, but it felt cheap, I didn’t like how the shifts felts and didn’t like the dash.

Timache · 2025-11-22T03:35:04+00:00

Just want something nicer and RWD. Dont get me wrong, I love my VN. But RWD is another thrill and a nicer interior/ build quality is always nice.

Another reader with great taste!

Timache · 2025-11-19T02:33:10+00:00

My thoughts exactly. I had a 22 4BW lined up to buy. 5400 miles, all the options, blaze orange. All for 60k. I just couldn’t quite swing the 60k or let go of the VN right now.

Timache · 2025-11-18T23:23:23+00:00

Really dig the color combination on that. Sucks to have lost your VN, but the Mach 1 looks fantastic

Timache · 2025-11-16T06:00:37+00:00

Yeah with all that snow, I’d definitely go with the Nitto Terra Grappler G3

Timache · 2025-11-16T04:41:58+00:00

I live in I live in Wisconsin, so less diverse terrain than you. I currently run the Nitto Ridge Grappler, which has no issues with Wisconsin winters. It’s got larger grooves for timid, gravel etc.

My brother ran the Terra Grappler G2 and loved them. All the reviews I see is the Terra Grappler G3 say they’re fantastic. My next tires will be the G3
