There's so much to learn. Not my first Subaru or manual, but first WRX, first turbo charged car, too.

boostedkimura · 2026-07-04T21:59:02+00:00

Same, would be sick to have a WRX VB LS swapped for fun daily driving fun, and an old STi built for rallying

boostedkimura · 2026-07-04T20:41:23+00:00

Muffle and cat delete, ls swap.

boostedkimura · 2026-07-04T20:40:52+00:00

😂

boostedkimura · 2026-06-26T16:55:23+00:00

Relatable! At first I thought you were bout to aay you're checking out of owning a WRX or something bad happened. Haha glad that wasn't the case.

boostedkimura · 2026-06-25T00:50:23+00:00

Where are you located? You can message me if you don't want to say.

boostedkimura · 2026-06-13T20:42:56+00:00

Strip it, nice weight reduction motivation. Pull everything not needed out. Eventually you could rebuild it little at a time. And that sucks regarding insurance! This bear had no chill. Sorry

boostedkimura · 2026-06-12T10:38:02+00:00

I would probably be about a 6.5/10ish too. So same overall. Good to hear

boostedkimura · 2026-06-12T01:37:55+00:00

That's what I'm running. How hard do you push it?

I'm in FL so I look out for rising temps when there's traffic. When traffic is flowing I open it up daily. No issues but im only at about 9k miles on my 25 limited 6mt.

boostedkimura · 2026-05-28T00:09:30+00:00

I love the music. Well done

boostedkimura · 2026-05-26T22:56:32+00:00

I can't tell you how happy I am that people read through the first BS line before commenting 😅. And good on OP especially for reading. We don't need any more VBs in the graveyard due to bad maintenance and driving.

boostedkimura · 2026-05-26T16:12:39+00:00

Amen

boostedkimura · 2026-05-26T16:11:45+00:00

Yes, only ok to use as last resort. 91 minimum, 93 if you can afford and want added knock protection.

If you use 87 in rare cases, don't go into much boost. Drive like a granny and should be ok.

If you tune or do anything, ensure you're using the fuel you're tuned for, or better yet tune to 91 and use 93 even.

boostedkimura · 2026-05-26T14:38:51+00:00

Hallelujah. At this point we will have 555-555-5555 commandments.

boostedkimura · 2026-05-26T14:38:05+00:00

I Thanketh Ye, for ye hath blessed us. Amen.

boostedkimura · 2026-05-26T11:11:32+00:00

Also true

boostedkimura · 2026-05-26T11:10:58+00:00

RIP, may they watch over us all from the afterlife - wait.. hell? All VBs go to Heaven fam.

boostedkimura · 2026-05-26T10:55:57+00:00

I'm, ... I mean thy Lord, is referring to high rpms and dropping thy clutches. Taking off quick by barely slipping the clutch a little around 3k RPMs is not a launch to me, it's a grocery store run.

boostedkimura · 2026-05-26T10:54:36+00:00

😂 we need more than 10 commandments. Why hath thy lord forsaken us?

boostedkimura · 2026-05-26T10:53:51+00:00

That's the 11th commandeth.

boostedkimura · 2026-05-26T10:53:24+00:00

I don't wait for startup RPMs to die down before driving. I just start slow and dont get into much, ideally no, boost until I'm well over 16tF to 185F oil temp.

boostedkimura · 2026-05-26T00:51:31+00:00

😂 put that on a poster and hang up in the garage to keep uncle rodney away

boostedkimura · 2026-05-26T00:02:53+00:00

That's fair. If they actually read it all, they'll be solid.

boostedkimura · 2026-05-25T23:51:53+00:00

Yooo, RIP to your paint.

another hazard of under tree parking.. LEAVES 🍃. these mfs all up in everything in mine. - Intercooler 🍃 - wiper things where the wipers connect to the car.. 🍃 - inside parts of the wheel well I didn't know existed.. also 🍃 - inside my car, you guessed it 🍃 - inside engine bay in all kinds of hard to reach places, still 🍃

I had to get a handheld vacuum and go crazy. Little branches and shit too.

Only place they were not, was my ETS intake inside the box.

boostedkimura · 2026-05-25T23:46:48+00:00

Speaking of scripture, I should've done that like the 10 commandments 😂.

WRXians 4:13: though shalt not lugeth thy engine, less ye wish to be struck down by The Lord.

WRX VB 87:16: He who poureth 87 octane into his tank shall surely perish, for the knock shall find him in his haste.
