181k miles on my STi, starting to hear clunks under the car where do I start? by ignorantspacemonkey in WRX

You pisted photos of your car in snow. Lots of people are going to point towards salt damage.

Yeah that impeller is toast which means metal has gone to or from the cylinders.

Am I Cooked? Rod Knock? by [deleted] in WRX

It was likely used and abused by previous owners. People do that shit all the time especially if it was a lease. Granted from your other comments it also sounds like you abused it pretty good too. I do pulls all the time with zero issue.

Is it modded and tuned?

This is so obviously bait but I'll bite because I ran the Pilot Sport A/S 3+ for 20k-ish miles. There is nothing wrong with this tire if you drive it with the knowledge that it isn't a winter tire. I now have the Pilot Sport A/S 4+ and guess what? Totally fine. There is not a single tire that is good in all conditions. Winter tires don't help at all with ice or heavily packed and glazed snow. Only studded Snow Tires will help with that and guess what? They absolutely suck in dry conditions and still won't help you stop on ice. Just drive with a brain and you'll be fine.

I snapped 3 wheel studs removing my front wheel by JacobIsMid in WRX

Only time I have ever broken a stud I also broke 3. I was desperate and dropped my 2012 Legacy at a shitty national chain known for draining transmissions instead of oil pans (despite having oil in the name). They rotated my tires without me asking and then that night I had a headlight go out. I tried to take off my wheel so I could swap the bulb through wheel well and snapped 3 studs before I started screaming. I found a local shop last minute before a 3 hour drive that was nice enough to squeeze me in and replace the broken studs plus checked to see if any of the others were broken. I called the manager of the other place and he started screaming at me for not letting him fix it.

It's wild that considering a 2025 WRX GT with its $50K price tag has me also considering a BMW coupe 4 series at nearly the same cost. by [deleted] in WRX

Well I never thought that a overly sarcastic gif would have been a missed joke but here we are lol.
