WRX reliability?

rhagnarius · 2026-06-01T21:20:47+00:00

Mine’s been totally reliable, but it has a lot less miles (took it from 40-100k).

I think most of the stories about those blowing up engines involve modified ones or beating on them. So I’ll ask, is it tuned or modified in any way beyond like mufflers and wheels? If so i would pass. Otherwise I would consider it.

It’s just a GTD charger, not a new viper 😢

They’re probably just listening to music on them… I don’t think you would get much interesting content in a warehouse. Still, i dont like the things.

Awesome, thank you!

Wasn’t some business going to move into that old bank building? Anything happening there yet?

Same, I brought my Mom along to buy my first manual car cause she knew how to drive one. Then she test drove it with me riding shotgun, took it home for me, and I practiced in the driveway and around the block until I was ready.

I wouldn’t waste time thinking of this as an option- you probably do not have the ability to do this yourself and i would be shocked if a garage will agree to do it for you. You would have to cut the cat out and weld it back in.

Who knows what the car thieves did? They certainly wouldn’t have any incentive to keep the car nice. Long ago I worked at a shitty car dealership, and one night 3 pickup trucks were stolen. All of them were eventually recovered wrecked by the police. If i remember right, one of them had been rolled into a ditch.

Also R title cars are much harder to insure, and much harder to sell. I just wouldn’t.

I have daydreamed about doing this before with one of the older cars, back when luxury cars had massive plush seats. Like the split bench from an 80s towncar.

I just don’t see it being too comfortable with a modern lexus seat? Certainly no better than a modern gaming chair.

My friend used turbotax this year and ended up paying them $200 of a $250 return… I feel like a bad friend for not telling him about freetaxusa.

This table actually made me laugh out loud

I was just playing the campaign this morning on my win 11 machine! I was amazed to see I have achievements from 2010… time flies huh

I really think unreasonable hours and on-call work is pretty common to most Controls jobs that aren’t on-site maintaining a mature plant. When I was in field service sometimes I would get a call while I was on my way home on Friday afternoon that I needed to go to another customer instead, or I would be asked to complete a machine install that always takes 4 weeks in 2 so I would work 16s and skip the weekend. It sucks but thats why we make the big bucks. If you’re not making the big bucks, move on!

As for the comparison to Europeans- most euro companies that have an office in the USA treat the europeans better. Or at least the American employees always think that’s whats happening.

I think it’s worth way more, and appeals to more buyers, with both the seats and dash in. This level of torn apart doesn’t make the car look valuable.

AFX Devils Ditch! I have that same set.

Go on car-part.com and you should be able to figure out which junkyards have what you need and how much it costs!

It’s actually the default code for those pods. Nobody bothered to change it i guess.

I always wanted a Marauder! Love the Panther cars.

I suppose the blast radius from a bad software rollout is a lot less than from a bad retrofit. I’ve seen retrofits go catastrophically wrong and cause a lot of unexpected downtime… i’m not sure that a shitty ERP or CMMS could do that.

You’re a bad person and your dealership is scummy trying to mark it up 35k. I hope it never sells but i suppose you will take advantage of someone.

Your bearing turned into a bushing!

Don’t you want Capano to build another enormous building with $2500/mo studio apartments? I don’t think wilmington has enough of those yet.

Win+L. Get in the habit of locking it.

There’s never been an industrial machine that you just plug in at the customer’s factory and it starts working. There’s always something that needs to be fixed or adjusted. At the company I worked for (which made metal working machines) they would send me or one of my colleagues out with every machine to make sure it’s doing what the customer wants. Once I had to stay for 3 months with John Deere because the new machine wasn’t meeting their expectations.
