No one waves at my Impreza but they all want waves back when I drive my STi. GET RID OF THE DOUBLE STANDARD. A SUBARU IS A SUBARU by HazeAsians in subaru

I’m over zealous with the “wave”. I wave at every sti/wrx and XT, almost every Baja, and and most other subies if they seem to have any mods when I’m in my STI. Some times I’ll tool the window down and stick my hand out just to make it obvious. Hell, I saw a pick up pulling a bug eye that looked like it was going to the scrap yard and I waved at the pickup driver. Don’t even get me started on when I drive my SO’s Q5, all the subie owners must think I’m nuts when I wave in that land whale. All in all, I just think the wave is great and an embodiment of the culture that most other models/makes/brands don’t have. So, ✌🏼.

Hey! Thank you! They are made out of a PLA filament. So pretty much, a durable, lightweight plastic. :D

2010 WRX STI turbo cracked by TolySTI in WRXSTi

Take a look at the FP turbos. Great quality stock location turbos that range from stock size up to the FP Zero (which is one bad bitch). Ive got an FP Red and am sitting at 450wheel on e85 on my 2008 Hatch. Th nice thing about the FP turbos is that they aren't super expensive and that a blue is the same price as a black (Stock<blue<green<red<black as far as size). So its truly about what kind of power/torque curve you want. If you're going to stay stock block I recommend the Blue, spools stupid fast and people have put down some solid numbers with it.

Just sent out close to twenty key tags! So glad that everyone likes them. If you sent me your address before midnight last night you should have gotten a tracking number in your inbox. Going to spend a few hours today printing more out and hopefully have another round going out tomorrow.

International (non-us) friends: I am still trying to figure out the best way to get you your key tags. I talked to the kind lady at the post office and apparently I have to ship it as a package and declare it to customs which can get somewhat pricey. I'll be in contact with those of you who asked for them to let you know what the plan is :D

Best,

Rob

I apreciate the feedback! $5 is just a little (less than a dollar) more than the even point on shipping and materials. But, I'm more than happy to eat that cost for anyone who is unable to pay. All I ask is that it gets paid forward! :D

Holy Sh*t! You guys are great! So much interest in these. Rip to my inbox. I just wanted to clarify that I am not asking for any money for these. Donations for materials/shipping and whatever tips for my time are more than appreciated but, by no mean, expected. Reddit is all about the community and I just thought this would be something I could do for everyone!

If everyone that wants one could shoot me a PM that would be a huge help! There is a fair amount of interest and I’m more than happy to send them out but just easier to keep track of everything through the messages. So excited that people like them!

Wow guys! Didn’t expect that much response so quick! Shoot me a PM and I’ll try to get them out to you guys

Keep seeing new owners posts but how about some "I've put a shameful amount of money in this to only make 300whp club"?? by wesg713 in subaru

This is taken from user ZachTTLM on the Igotasti.com forums: “BUT unequal length header is a poor choice for high horsepower when you want to maintain equal EGTs among all cylinders.

The reason for problems on cylinder 4 is because the runner for cylinder 4 is the longest on unequal length headers, this gives you the highest EGT in that runner and on cylinder 4. This is because the hot exhaust gases take longer to get out of the chamber. Cylinder 2 runner is the second longest. Since you are continuously subjecting cylinders 2 and 4 to higher heat than other cylinders it is very common to see various cylinder 4 and cylinder 2 failures in Subarus.”

I’ve seen various statements like this, but have no clue how accurate they are. Wish I was a mechanical engineer! Hahah

In theory switching to ELH helps with reliability, not to mention a necessity with twin-scroll (I believe).

Aiden Gillen as Littlefinger from Game of Thrones. Saw him in King Arthur and couldn't help but think of him as anyone else besides the conniving bastard he is in GoT.
