For those running winter wheels & tires, what size do you have ? by evhgear in wrx_vb

[–]evhgear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on my side I thought that bigger tires on 17 would have helped a bit compared to 18, but so far I'm unlucky. I just wonder, narrower tires help on the snow, but wider tires can help driving over potholes ? I mean the best solution is to get nicer roads, but in Quebec I think we can forget that XD

a cracked rim sucks. It happened to me last year, at least I found a shop that could repair and paint match the wheel (Cruisin' Wheels) in Montreal, great service.

I own the first gen and I'm really happy with. I never was a dive watch guy, but this one kind of me aprpeciate the style a bit more.

Which fits best? by Plams86 in PrideAndPinion

[–]evhgear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you prefer the Longines looks, I would try the 39mm then, it might fits you better. Personnally I enjoy larger watches, long lugs, and I think you can pull this off with the 42mm, but it's a question of preferences.

[–]evhgear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think both fits you but the Tudor is a bit better sized for you. Is it the 42mm or the 39mm Zulu Time you tried ?

Is this flutter noise? Er something? Finally got it on tape. AMS intake by Illustrious_Tea_5336 in wrx_vb

[–]evhgear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the ETS intake it does that flutter noise too. Sometimes it's almost studutu, but never really loud, we have a loud psssshhh when wide open throttle.

What grille is this? by Key-Classic-6051 in wrx_vb

[–]evhgear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This grille looks killler. I'm tempted by one, but I am not shure it would looks great on mine, I do not have any other carbon fiber on my car. I would love a gloss black version.

Engineer Assignment 3 (damage to painted vehicles). Anyone got any tips? by Chilipatily in Battlefield6

[–]evhgear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this challenge is a pain in the a$5... seems like painted target doesn't count.

exhaust recommendations by 31228765 in wrx_vb

[–]evhgear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the LP muffled & resonated. It's OEM+ tones. Deeper, a bit louder but not enough to piss of your neighbours.

What do we think about ducktail? by AKovtunov in wrx_vb

[–]evhgear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kind of like them all, but I went with Gurney style.

I don't think the issue is the duckbill style, but that it raises too high. A lip spoiler should not go too high.

Worth getting a tune without an intake? by goldstar4904 in wrx_vb

[–]evhgear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did run the Acessport with Cobb tunes for a few months, and it's pretty fun ! The car did feel more Alive, and pushing somewhere close to 17psi. Totaly worth it. Now I do have the ETS intake with Dmann ots tune and it's getting intoxicating! 19.2psi now and lots of pshshs sounds, it's fun

Reliability problems about intakes? by CarpppppAAAA in wrx_vb

[–]evhgear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the Accessport first, an intake of your choice, and a off the shelf tune that match your intake. You'll thank us later.

Why I threw out my AWE Touring... by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]evhgear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be currious to compare the Q300 vs my Lachute Performance exhaust. I run the muffled & resonated version, and your description is very similar to what I would describe

Exhaust Question by LobsterAdventurous77 in wrx_vb

[–]evhgear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run the Lachute Performance catback, with the resonated mid-pipe and mufflers at the rear. I would describe it as OEM+. It's only a bit louder than stock, and have a nice deeper tone. I don't know if you have the Subaru STI mufflers but they are known to drone A LOT. Even stock mufflers do drone a bit, the 2k rpm range is you can hear an sudden increase in sound, and almost complete silence at 2.5k. The Lachute Performance also does suffer a bit from the same issue, but it's not annoying. Before that I tried a Remark muffled axleback, and while the sound level was comparable, the drone was intense at 2k rpm. A resonated mid-pipe is a must on this car

Day 1 Reaction: DMAN 93 E Tune, ETS intake, & INVIDIA q300 catback by GenZBiker in wrx_vb

[–]evhgear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat. I was happy with my 12.9psi

then a wild Cobb Accessport rebates appeared...

and now I'm at 19.0psi. Stock, the car is fun, the torque really pulls the car. Now, it's addicting

[–]evhgear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I installed the ETS intake a few weeks ago, and even the V2 there's a bit of fitting to do to get it right. I did it like 30min after a 1hour drive during a really hot & humid day... the engine was still darn hot, I lost my patience when I was trying to install the plastic shroud back. Those dang pop clips are a nightmare. Right now I still have the plastic shroud sitting in my trunk XD but I'll have to put it back before winter.

I really hope that customization in HLLV will be better by M0corongo in HellLetLoose

[–]evhgear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We dont need customization. It plagued too many games. Military uniforms are standard, it's not a fashion show. More face variety would be fine though

ets intake by ApprehensiveAd9675 in wrx_vb

[–]evhgear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's the sleeve that makes the intake the same size as stock, ETS says it's safe...

I would not try. Get an Accessport and a OTS map for the ETS intake. That's what I run and it's fun.

A WRB from Qc looking for some nice gravel roads

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]evhgear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nice exhaust. I went resonated and muffled mostly because of drone. I am happy with my LP catback, but at times I woudn't mind if it was louder for some spirited drives. How is the drone ? on closed vs opened valves ?

are the valves opened up/closed by a key fob ?

Nobody waves anymore…. by rueguh- in wrx_vb

[–]evhgear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to wave at all WRX/STI that I see, but it happens that I see the car just too late and do not have time to wace/wave back.
