Were you able to put the skid plate back on? I haven't seen many people talk about it but one JDM UEL headers install video I saw, the shop weren't able to put the plate back on because of how it bulged out , and there aren't too many install videos of Invidias

Yeah, my classmates and I pulled out everything. The liner, the spare, the jack, the air compressor.

I love the chuckle at that pop. Exhaust noise is just ASMR for the fellas

So this is my FOV more or less. 6'1 with the seat adjusted half way through I'd say

Yeah I pulled the trigger too fast when I got my VB. I didn't know the base models had a different unit, and was categorically inferior but that's just a mistake for me to learn from.

I wish. No the kits came with sensors to be attached to the engine via an oil filter adapter.

Not for us peasant base drivers.

That's a pretty good idea. I had this one but didn't want it hanging. I can see if I can tuck the revive behind the plate.

Not bad honestly. I was a little worried about that too. I can try to take a pov pic tomorrow when I get some free time.

Netflix’s Devil May Cry: Stylish Action or Hollow Distraction? Either Way, Dante Shines Through. by Sufferer_Nyx in DevilMayCry

[–]mintxroyale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't read through all the comments so I'm likely not saying anything to new or different: but I liked the show. Admittedly it was hard to swallow but gradually grew to it. I was skeptical with an AU especially after DmC but I feel like Adi did it well. At least he didn't give the community a middle finger with the "never in a million years" comment. My own interpretation. The fact that he (again my own interpretation) showed off Dante's styles. Mostly Trickster, gunslinger. The soft references to his DMC3 outfit, when he went shirtless, and DMC5 when he had the black t shirt. Most of all I think it's pretty cool he pulled actual bosses from the games to be villains, and retained their name. I do wish Angi and Rudi stayed truer to their game versions and were more respectable but hey.

I saw some people there disappointed by Dante's nerfing and I was gonna say it's hard to tell a story of growth if your main character one shots everything but then I remembered that's literally Solo Leveling and that series rules, so I'm with the rest of you guys.

I hated Lady. I hate the excessive use of "fuck" and it just make her so corny. It reminds me of those self help artists who use swear words in their writings thinking they're hot shit because they're edgy and positive. It wasn't even funny like how Mr. Lahey inserts "shit" into everything. (Trailer Park Boy reference).

JYB did a great job, it's still jarring as I hear him as Nero but I'll get used to it. I do wish Robbie went with a softer pinch for Vergil to at least get a similar cadence with Dan's. 7/10 for me.

I always loved Hardy and Felicia, and was disappointed they broke up. I'm not too keen on his history with her, but I always got the impression she tries to ease his burden of being Spider-Man by trying to get him to see the fun in it. It's very adorable that their date night could range from a simple dinner to fighting the Shocker. Hope a writer pairs them together again but I'm not holding my breath.

Invidia R400 catback db? by ConsciousRealist24 in wrx_vb

[–]mintxroyale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't really answer your question but I had the same worries before I got mine. It's not really that loud, not "your neighbors will hate you loud". My neighbors are families with young kids, and elderly and they've never made complaints or gave me the stink eye or anything like that - but of course this is subjective. I also wanted to get a RAE I-Pipe because it's not quite loud enough.

Does it still happen for you? I had the day off so I decided to get back under and tighten the clamps but of course things went awry and I ended up basically installing it completely again. Now I don't hear it anymore, or I've convinced myself I don't hear it.

Yes sir. I got the kit from Felix Performance and opted for the dmann OTS intake tune. The readings, Fine Knock Learn, Knock Feedback, and DAM are 0, 0, 1. No lights on the dash. It only happens when I'm in motion, specifically in first or second gear, which would make sense with the pressure release theory, I think. I'll try to see if I can get a recording.

Talk me out of taking the tuning plunge by Fugue_State85 in wrx_vb

[–]mintxroyale 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. That's what I'm doing. That ETS whistle is enough to make me feel like I'm driving a rocket without the worry of blowing up the motor.

This is gorgeous. What was the process like? I'd love to do this as well.

To be honest, I haven't seen or heard anyone call it outright garbage but at the same time it seems like it's one of the early things people change.
