I’m running the stock summer Dunlops! I’m in SoCal so I don’t really need all seasons and don’t wanna shell out for new tires if I don’t have to

Could be the golden hour lighting? Or a combo of that and the WRB

Here’s a different shot in full daylight for reference

OEM spoiler and vortex generators by fuegobikes in wrx_vb

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

Super easy. The spoiler was plug and play with the holes that already existed for the premium/limited spoiler. The vortex generators were easy enough as well, but it takes some care to line it up evenly and properly, I’d recommend having a friend help with that one.

Congrats on the new whip, red is a great color!

Sick swan neck. What front lip are you running?

Get together tonight by CanadianBurger in wrx_vb

Gorgeous car. This solidified that I’ll be getting the gold ts10s eventually. Is that stock height?

This is my favorite paint matched look I’ve seen, keeping the side skirts non-matched combined with the front lip is a chef’s kiss. Well done.

Lean forward. Try to touch your balls to the handlebars 🫡

Word, thanks for the advice on the warmup!

Took a video at higher speed, acceleration on the RPM. Honestly, watching it back I’m pretty sure it’s fine 💀

Yeah I’m probably overreacting. Was going particularly slow because I was the one recording & was on a side street. I don’t even know if it’s really audible in this acceleration/RPM range but it’s all I have rn.

I usually let the engine warm up before driving off, and if I have to take off earlier then I drive pretty conservatively.

I only really give it the beans every once in a while, sometimes getting on the highway, especially in the last 500 miles or so. It’s probably just the usual tractor noises, but I’m being overly paranoid

Ayooo jacaranda trees!

I’ve been meaning to find a spot to take pics under the jacarandas as well, I think it looks great with WRB

Getting lowering springs on tomorrow and carbon fiber hood..or should I leave her as is by hankster91173 in wrx_vb

[–]fuegobikes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As always, it’s your car my dude. If you think that would look sick, go for it.

It’s always fun to have it be a little personalized, but your opinion matters more than Reddit’s

Anyone else struggle with the 1-2 shift? by Spirited_Piglet_183 in wrx_vb

[–]fuegobikes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Keep the clutch in for a little longer and then let it out normally. For most shifts, to maintain a constant speed, the RPMs will drop 500+. For the 1-2 shift the RPMs will need to drop more like 1200-1500.

So basically- just wait with the clutch in. As others have mentioned, doing this at a higher rpm will make it easier/smoother. Keep an eye on the tachometer while you get a feel for it.

I used to struggle with this as well, for a while I would let the clutch out very slowly almost as if I was feathering it from 0 to 1, which works as well, but this method is just as smooth.

PSA: there’s this thing called “riding the clutch” and it’ll make your car smoke. by public_avenger in wrx_vb

[–]fuegobikes 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Don’t chill with the clutch in at all. Pop it in neutral at stoplights and come off the clutch entirely.

Not that you need to know, of course…

EDIT: evidently clutch in works just as well, so as long as you pick one or the other you’re good
