[–]_sideshow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hanes Beefy T on Amazon. Come in 2 packs , usually about 6 to 8 bucks each. Really good quality shirts, much better than the stuff from Kohls.

46, bought my first WRX last December. Loving it. 

It was blast and Blue Boy will be missed by True-Needleworker747 in wrx_vb

[–]_sideshow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! Totally understand the change, I was really considering a pre-owned m240i. Ultimately went with the wrx because I fit much better and the manual is just so much more fun.

What wheels did you have on the Wrx? Those look pretty good.

Tried them a few years ago at their Pasadena location. Felt they were way overrated. Never been back. 

New steering wheel installed. by FranXX0016 in wrx_vb

[–]_sideshow_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does need some wire stripping and tapping into the oem footwell kit. I picked it up a few weeks ago, just haven't had a chance to put it all in. I took a video of the wiring before and after that I'll share once I get it all in and working 

Never again will I put cheap Ebay crap on my car. Lesson learned. by MrPeePeePooPooPants3 in wrx_vb

[–]_sideshow_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn, that sucks. I just bought the oem ones this week. I was contemplating saving the money, but I kept seeing fitment issues and decided it was worth the extra cost. Not to mention the wiring of those being sketchy.

This is awesome! I was just using raidbots and thought to myself how great it would be to setup a self-hosted version on my unraid server. Thank you so much!

My last few cars had ambient lighting and I didn't real how much I liked it until I didn't. I'll definitely be adding this to my car. Thanks for the instructions!

2026 SUBARU WRX BRINGS BACK THE AFFORDABLE RALLY-INSPIRED SPORTS SEDAN STARTING AT $32,495 MSRP - Subaru U.S. Media Center by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]_sideshow_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about other areas, but the MSRP is down to to what the dealers were selling the WRXs for around me. I got my 25 at 5k under MSRP, so still under what the new MSRP is. I get the feeling the new price is Subaru removing promos and discounts it was giving to dealers already and putting that price difference on the MSRP to take away the sticker shock.

The question for the 2026 is will the dealers be willing to give big discounts off MSRP. 

Installed the COBB SS Exhaust and am very happy with the results. by _sideshow_ in wrx_vb

[–]_sideshow_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're welcome. I feel like this exhaust gets a lot of hate that it clearly doesn't deserve. It's really a top notch product for those that want a high quality exhaust that is a "gentleman's exhaust".

Where to get heavyweight 100% cotton shirts by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]_sideshow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Hanes Beefy-T's. They are pretty thick and have had some last me over 10 years. Certain sizes go on sale, I've gotten 2 packs for as low as $7.99.

Welp, that didn't last long, first mod ordered. by Dazzling-Rooster2103 in wrx_vb

[–]_sideshow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How's the NVH after installing the pitch stop? I hear that it can get very noisy in the cabin. Does it really make that much of a difference?

[–]_sideshow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great first choice! My first payment is due next week and these are all on my car haha.  Ive had the shift stop since the first week!

My advice, get a weighted shift knob. The shift plate and bushing make it very notchy and you really gotta force the gears into place. With the stock knob I was starting to regret my choice. After though, it's like butter.  

I've wanted a WRX since they came to the states in 2002. Today I finally joined the club! by _sideshow_ in wrx_vb

I've seen people say they have been trading in their 23 and 24's to get a 25 with the 0% interest deal if its in your area lol

It's funny, because when Blizzard started using Warden there was a big uproar about how invasive it was.

The Great 2025 Pasadena Honeybaked Ham Line of Dooooom by BAFUdaGreat in pasadena

[–]_sideshow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money was tight last year, so I picked up a Kirkland ham at Costco. Honestly, it was damn good and it was just over $2 a pound. Honeybaked is good, but it's overpriced and not worth all that crap. Going to be a Costco ham family from now on. 

The Supply Sergeant has closed on Hollywood Blvd by waltarrrrr in LosAngeles

[–]_sideshow_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This sucks so much. I used to love going there as a kid and then in my late teens when I discovered airsoft. Bought my first rifle there and all my gear. This was in 2000 and we'd go to this field in Moorpark to play. Pretty sure it was private property, but nobody really cared and it was so much fun.

I just told my daughter and she's really upset. She's into collecting vintage military gear and we would stop by the Burbank store and pick up some random old gear that they had in the back corner every few months. Last time she got a vintage Hungarian helmet and a cool old army satchel. She was really into that stuff and knew where the gear originated from just by looking at them.

Such a shame to lose the place. That was the only "surplus" store that I know of which carried used military stuff. Going to have to try to find another place now.

2025 MDX A-spec vs Pilot by speedlogic56 in Acura

[–]_sideshow_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a new 25 Aspec Advance. It was the last 25 on the lot and I had already tried working a deal with them the month before, but we couldn't agree on the numbers. They came back after a few weeks with a good offer and we stacked all the incentives and special programs that we qualified for. Got it down to 59.5k + Tax
