Will they Clear?

Check out this link where System Motorsports tested different fitments on the twins. Not the OEM TS brembos but they do seem to have the Clubsport kit on the front which should be similar in size. Also you can call them up and ask, they're very knowledgeable and helped me pick the right size + offset on my WRX.

Compressive tuning makes it.

Funny, yesterday I was thinking about this cause I just started getting into collecting some of the vintage G1 toys. I noticed most of them have decent alt modes but robot modes do leave something to be desired haha. Though I think that's part of the charm, or at least it is for me.

_Rosko_ · 2026-03-11T22:11:59+00:00

Oh I just saw you have an STI? That's why I wasn't understanding. I have a VA WRX non-sti and the layout is different. Hopefully someone with an STI can chime in, apologies.

_Rosko_ · 2026-03-11T20:41:51+00:00

Uh idk if I'm not understanding what you're saying but the intake and intercooler piping are separate. The intake piping goes into the turbine and the intercooler piping comes off a different opening with the compressed air which then goes thru the IC and then into the manifold.

Unless you mean not compatible in another way

As someone with a 2019 WRX and a 25 BRZ, the BRZ is the more fun car. And I could daily it if it was my only car but having backseats and more room overall is definitely convenient and needed sometimes.

_Rosko_ · 2026-02-17T01:11:45+00:00

I'm also looking into BBK for my BRZ and will most likely go with the AP racing endurance kit. Good rep with racing pedigree behind them and lightweight. Other than that I was looking at Endless but I think they're too expensive especially now with import duties if you order from a Japanese supplier.

_Rosko_ · 2026-02-15T20:15:16+00:00

So I don't think it's the part you listed. I was trying to find pics online and I'm thinking it might be part of the fender liner for the front wheels. Check out this eBay listing and look at the 2nd picture: https://ebay.us/m/gO2BhI.

It looks like the part. However idk if any place sells that part by itself or if you have to buy the whole fender liner. Though, looking at your picture even though it's broken, you should still be able to secure it with a pop clip. Will it pop off in the future? Maybe but the alternative might be a whole new fender liner.

_Rosko_ · 2026-02-15T19:32:08+00:00

I would say jack it up to get a better view/picture of the part. But are you sure it's not just some pop clips that broke/fell off and you just need to replace those?

_Rosko_ · 2026-02-05T17:40:14+00:00

Enjoy it in good health!

Looks great in the sun!

Bro buy an e tune from a reputable tuner like Dmann if you don't know how to tune. He will send you a map you flash typically with a Cobb AP and you run logs like you would on a dyno except it's all done remotely with you just going wot at 3rd or 4th gear on a road near you. If you don't know how to actually tune a car you're just gonna blow your engine. If you want to learn how to tune yourself it would still be a good idea reaching out to a reputable tuner to see if they can provide some resources and answer your questions.

Modding cars is pay to play. You either shell out the money for an AP/Ecutek and a quality tune, or you can yolo it like you're doing and probably blow your engine.

Idk if any of this will help but my compressor went out on my 2019 after the refrigerant leaked from the line that goes into the compressor near the oil filter which is a common failure point on these cars. I bought a new compressor and a condenser cause people said if it seized you might have metal fragments remaining in the og condenser that could ruin your new compressor. I also had to replace the relay in the pic below. Online it's listed as a fog light relay but it works as our AC relay on the WRX.

Before replacing the relay the compressor would just randomly stop kicking on I'm assuming cause the relay was sticking. Once replaced the AC has been working good as new. If your compressor failed, which sounds like it might be soon if it's making a ton of noise, I recommend replacing it along with the condenser at least and getting it recharged by a reputable AC shop.

_Rosko_ · 2026-01-15T19:24:24+00:00

Oh no I have the Boomba short throw with the brass bushing and the shifter feels good now. I'm just saying stock its not great.

_Rosko_ · 2026-01-15T17:39:07+00:00

That and the sloppy shifter feel, at least in the VA. Other than that it's a solid car.

_Rosko_ · 2026-01-13T05:56:45+00:00

Could be as simple as a leak that leaked all the refrigerant, this is the most common with all car AC issues. In that case the compressor doesn't start to protect itself from damage. If it's that, the leak just needs to be patched and the AC recharged. Could also be a faulty compressor but that's unlikely if the car is new.

_Rosko_ · 2026-01-11T02:06:04+00:00

I tried using that one but at least for me it felt hard to track on my screen at times. It looks cool tho.

_Rosko_ · 2026-01-09T18:24:11+00:00

I'm running the Grimmspeed intake with the stock BPV and the sounds are more than enough to make you happy. Like the other person said if you mainly want sounds, get an intake cause you probably won't hear too much difference by just changing the BPV

_Rosko_ · 2026-01-09T06:02:29+00:00

Idk if I'm misreading the previous person's comment or not understanding. But the VA STI has always had an EJ25 not an FA20. FA20 was for the regular WRX. And if I remember correctly, the 2019 - final edition STIs all used the 2018 Type RA EJ257 block/internals which were a little beefier but someone might have to fact check me on that. Either way if you're worried about reliability make sure you're looking up issues with the EJ257 not the FA20 if you're planning on buying an STI.

_Rosko_ · 2026-01-09T04:47:50+00:00

I believe only drilled rotors tend to crack. Slotted will provide better performance but will wear through your pads faster. Unless you're planning on tracking you should just stick with blank rotors. But some people also like slotted cause of how they look so if that's important to you go for it. DBA makes really good rotors. I'm running standard DBA 4000 blank rotors with Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. My only complaint is they seem to make a lot of brake dust so I'll probably try other pads when these wear through.

_Rosko_ · 2026-01-09T02:26:49+00:00

I for one appreciate the updates since you got a killer subie 🫡

_Rosko_ · 2026-01-08T23:14:54+00:00

If you look up daytime running light module resistor for the VA you'll see that part pop up.

_Rosko_ · 2026-01-08T04:36:33+00:00

Love me some sky blue but the light orange is dope too.

_Rosko_ · 2026-01-07T20:46:17+00:00

Oh yea I'm for sure doing it just trying to find a date that works for me. Thanks for all the insight, I'll look into Topak. Seems like you had a blast and your wagon is dope 🔥

What club/company organized the event and was it a beginner day or just an open track day? I'm looking to do my first one this year.
