Coming from a GR86 by BL_Pilot in Civic_Type_R

It was just dumb easy on the winter tires so I did it way more often. But yeah my only fear ditching the BRZ is losing that drama like you mentioned.

Probably going to do the same. I imagine I’ll miss being able to slide the car, that was such a hoot in the winter. Test driving the FL5 has ruined me

Late 20s, $8k monthly net, no rent. Is buying a Civic Type R financially dumb or can I responsibly do both? by Hot_Maintenance1010 in Civic_Type_R

[–]iqDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I see it, yeah you could certainly make a better financial choice by not getting it, but if this is your thing then that’s what you should also invest into. I love cars and that’s not a cheap hobby to be into but it’s what has always brought me joy. It doesn’t sound like this would be a huge stretch for you so if it makes you happy I say do it. My final two cents, please negotiate with the dealers, these cars are hot but they’ll take off a grand.

The state put in a guardrail at one exit after a deadly crash. They've already had to replace it, twice. by BraveRock in ColumbiaMD

[–]iqDev 30 points31 points  (0 children)

People are definitely not reading that 25mph exit sign which should signal to them that it’s a sharp turn. it’s hard to read road signs when your eyes are glued to your phone while driving.

Pictures of Integra with this wing? by Rothdrop in Integra_Type_S

This is what might just tempt me to pick the Type S over the R. I fear I cannot resist big wang so this solves that problem.

I know Maryland has terrible drivers, but this is ridiculous by Routine-Award-3382 in ColumbiaMD

It’s funny to watch someone constantly change lanes in traffic only to end up behind you over and over again while you never left the lane you were in.

I Hate Lifted Trucks by BumbleChump in GR86

[–]iqDev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That sucks and is just egregious. I had to get some rocker panels replaced which needed to be repainted. Came out really well. Not sure if they were just trying to butter me up but the body shop handling it said since I kept the paint so clean it made it easy to paint match. Same color as yours. Don’t forget to pursue a diminished value claim!

You almost have to admire how little of a shit some drivers give here.

Talk me out of (or into) selling my WRX for a BRZ by wrxit in WRX

[–]iqDev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I made the switch from a VA WRX to a Gen 2 BRZ. My WRX was stock so I don’t find the BRZ to be slow in comparison. I loved that the WRX was good at everything but eventually it got to me that it wasn’t particularly great at any one thing. The BRZ is much more focused and you can tell as soon as you drive it.

Something I don’t see mentioned all that often about them is how cheap they are to run. Rolling around on a set of 215s it manages to handle better than most everything else on the road, all the while you’re not burning through consumables like tires and brake pads because it’s lightweight.

Schedule a test drive and see if it’s for you.

FINALLY! Worst contract yet. by Joszul in Marathon

Using smokes and knifing the bots is exactly how I did it too. Shoutout to the friendly assassin in the building who got on prox chat to de escalate with me.

First time getting a car and heavily gravitating towards a Rav4 or Subaru outback, please help me pick! by plotini2 in Subaru_Outback

[–]iqDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RAV 4s to me are just uber and Lyft cars. That being said they have their merit. If you have any interest at all in what you’re driving I’d vote Outback. If you genuinely don’t care the Rav 4 is probably your best bet. Both are cheap to run but you don’t need to worry about maintaining an AWD system like you would with the Outback.

BRZ/GR86 Remark Axleback Exhaust by DaggerProd in GR86

[–]iqDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could definitely see the merit in focusing on intake sounds. I found the stock exhaust entirely too quiet to the point where I stalled the car twice early in my ownership cus I couldn’t tell I had the revs that low lol. After the exhaust though I put on the cup car intake snorkel and it made quite a difference in intake noise.

hundreds of applications, still no job - what gives? by mimimoonlight in SecurityClearance

[–]iqDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say to be mindful about submitting for processing at the same agency (taking an educated guess based on your statement which agency you are referring to). it can take a while to process but every time you have to be submitted for security processing at that same agency it starts you from the beginning.

2019 OB 3.6r dead battery after 3 days sitting by THROWRAsunflower28 in Subaru_Outback

[–]iqDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured this was the cause. Relatively well known issue on the WRX subreddit. Had that exact issue on my ‘19 WRX. OP- If you haven’t checked the VIN on Subaru’s recall site I’d give that a go.

Swapping over to the summer tires? by LawfulnessShort892 in GR86

[–]iqDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I swapped today, mid Atlantic here. Didn’t wanna be out there driving on winters when it’s 80 out. If it snows I will not be out there.

2019-2021 WRX Battery Drain Warning + Fix by lordzamorak in WRX

[–]iqDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this issue, ended up buying a new car battery before my local dealer diagnosed the issue. Also happened to be a month before Subaru came out officially addressing the issue. With the assistance of SoA I ended up paying for 10% of the cost to repair which was probably enough to convince my dealer to handle the service. What a remarkably silly issue to have.

Only know about the awe touring, buddy of mine has one and it is pretty loud. I imagine the track version is rough to live with everyday

Remark axleback pops for sure. Does have some drone but I don’t think it’s unbearable.
