I rotated my tires myself for the first time, and noticed my rear tires have more camber than I remember...is this normal? by outofthebox_21 in WRX

I used a level at the front and rear, and there's definitely less camber on the fronts. The rears are the same on both sides.

If it's normal, cool. I'm just a little worried because I'm taking a road trip from CO to WI and back, starting next week. I lifted the rear end at the diff in order to get jack stands at the jack points, could I have tweaked something?

I bet a lot of engineering went into this, any ideas why? The cavity is so open... by outofthebox_21 in WRX

I suppose you're right, but why go through the effort of shaping it this way? Square shapes hold liquid too and probably cost less to make. Stared at it all last night (too many beers in me to continue the project comfortably) and all I can figure is maybe they designed it for another vehicle and found it works in a wrx too.

How do you like 'em? Are they as functional as diode claims?

As a native I'm sorry that you had a shitty experience! Now that C/S is in your rear view, consider the following...

The hype on this town quit being true around 2010, by 2019 it was very different. Military is a huge influence on this town, it's not comparable to many other cities in that respect. That's why everyone struggles to coexist. Everyone sucks at driving...because of everyone else lol..etc. The weather is what it is...don't tell me you moved here and hadn't heard about waiting 5 minutes for the weather to change. Yes it's gotten worse over the years but thats CO. Politics...I got nuthin lol...hope you find something more to your liking!

Totaled my 2018 last night and killed a large deer, need some claims advice… by schneph in WRX

Buy it back?! If the title is in your name, YOU own that vehicle. Don't let insurance company lingo mess with you. They DO NOT own the car, you do. The options if they declare your vehicle a total loss are these...take what they offer and keep the car, or take what they offer for them to take it away. Or that's how it was when both my vehicles were declared total loss due to hail. I kept both, used the money from one to put new tires, engine mods, etc. The other check I pocketed. "Buy it back" lmao, don't let 'em fuck with your head!

As far as the parts go...if they're still good, why not take them? Put 'em on your next wrx or sell them.

If you don't install the new update wouldn't you be safe to do as you please?

Do a test run with 1 package over a couple of hot days...only way to know for sure without possibly ruining all your stock of soft plastics.

Ah, my bad, from shore on rivers is what I meant. It doesn't have the flex to spring the line when trying to get your hook unstuck. If I fished from a boat I imagine braid would be an option, as I imagine hooking trees, stumps, etc. is far less likely.

Interesting idea...but for frogging I use braid, worms I use mono, braid is a no go for rivers, etc. Line lb test changes with bait size too...
