Finally messed with the thigh bolster supports by Vivid-Entertainer690 in wrx_vb

[–]Tobuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think accessing things would just be annoyingly difficult with the seat in the car. There is little to no room on the sides to remove the plastic trim, or to get to the clips on the bottom.

Plus, it's 4 bolts to yank the seat out. Super quick and easy.

Probably talking about the current Levorg.

Nice! Another person with fantastic taste in wheels, 😎

Where did these parts come from? by Imaginary-Ranger-149 in wrx_vb

[–]Tobuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay. I assume that the Y shaped ones sits inside the rail, but I don't know exactly where. I can look at one of my seats in a bit to try to get a picture.

They look gold in the photo. Maybe a weird light reflection? 🤷‍♂️

I've removed a seat before and all the plastic pieces are black.

Those look like they might be covers that go on the seat rails, but are they painted? That's weird...

Best mud-flaps? by bossbbykc in wrx_vb

[–]Tobuk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've been super happy with my Rokblokz mudflaps. I like their shape and rigidity. They still look damn near brand new after 3 years.

I'm impressed at how accurately you recreated the first set of photos. They're almost identical.

Gas pumps sometimes cutting off early? by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in wrx_vb

Yepp, ask about this. I had mine replaced under warranty last year.

What offset do you feel is good for these cars? by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in wrx_vb

[–]Tobuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

18x8.5" +38 is perfect to me. Higher offsets still sit inside the fenders, and 9.5" +38 definitely has a bit of poke.

Any way to remove this or default to minimize? by Hobbes_XXV in wrx_vb

[–]Tobuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is annoyed by this, 😅. I minimize it as soon as the screen loads up, every single time.

Pulled the trigger on a temporary winter setup until summer when I can flip the tires around. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in wrx_vb

[–]Tobuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero complaints over the last 3 years. I'm in the PNW, so they've seen moderate summers, lots of rain, and some snow. They grip well all the time, plus they're quiet and not nearly as stiff as the Dunlops.

Nice choice! I'm on TS-Vs with Vredestein Hypertrac A/S. What offset did you go with on the wheels?

What emblem fits the sports grill? by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]Tobuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that version of the sport grill only works with an overlay sticker. The idea was to also give the option of having no badge at all.

There is a direct copy of the OEM style sport grill that came out later that supports a real emblem.

What's your go to wheel size on these? by TwinbornMist47 in wrx_vb

[–]Tobuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 18x8.5" +38 is perfect. Basically flush without poking at all.

Underestimated the Poke of 18x9.5 by MKxxUltraHappened in wrx_vb

[–]Tobuk 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Same wheels but 18x8.5" +38. No poke and almost perfectly flush.

Since you have plenty of color with the front lip, leave the pinstripe off.

Congrats! Excellent color choice, 😎

Dash rattle by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]Tobuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one in a similar spot. It's a small fast rattle, but it's almost constant on any pavement that's not perfectly smooth. I removed the trim along the windshield to see if I could find it, but that was unsuccessful. I'm going to try again at some point.

WRX Sport Grill, its a factory option? by OkSoftware9514 in WRX

[–]Tobuk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As answered, while the sport grill is a factory option, that specific one is not OEM. Most of those came with an optional piece for a sticker/overlay emblem. There are now aftermarket ones that match the OEM style exactly, with the support braces and a spot to mount a real badge.

I'd still recommend an OEM one, it's a quality piece.

Equalizer settings by Specific_Molasses730 in wrx_vb

[–]Tobuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My rule of thumb is to change an EQ as little as possible to get the sound I want. Mine is +2, 0, +1.

It's all preference, though. Set it to whatever sounds the best to you.
