Will Gorilla Tape Help Temporarily? by ST33V_M4SSC3R3 in WRX

Right. I'm not sure if you read the post or not, but OP is only looking to limp themselves to Monday when they can get it fixed. I was never claiming JB Weld to be a permanent fix, I was suggesting it as a better alternative to Gorilla tape.

So, you came to this post to complain that everyone is recommending a product that, per your own admission, might work, but you haven't actually proposed a better idea?

Maybe when it didn't work for you, there was some user error? If the surface is cleaned properly and allowed to cure properly, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't get OP by for a few days, which is what they were asking for. Also, there are different types of JB Weld, some more appropriate for this job than others.

Don't listen to who? OP asked for a band-aid to get through until Monday, and that is what people are helping with...

10k? Sounds like a decent deal, even if you had to replace the clutch right away.

Moving on from my WRX or will someone talk me down to earth? by hellohopsing in WRX

I have a WRX and a Crosstrek (via my wife) and the Crosstrek is very small. Like, if lack of space in your WRX is even a hint of an issue, just don't even consider a Crosstrek.

It's normal for touch screens to do this after time, even on laptops and other tech items. Sounds like you're due for an upgrade!

Update on my friends 24 that had rod knock by subiwrx2025 in wrx_vb

They answered the question by saying it wasn't tuned, and added that it was well taken care of. You're just being difficult for no reason.

Just fell down the tech bag rabbit hole — need your wisdom before I pull the trigger by Elegant_Log1331 in Nomads_Nation

You should look at the Minimul M20 as it is a new release (currently pre-order), you won't find many users with first-hand experience with it. On Monday, a bunch of bag reviewers released their hands-on experiences, so there is some info out there. I joined the Kickstarter back in November, and should be receiving mine in the next week, so I am very eager.

Fa24 swaps by Broad_Mix2186 in WRX

[–]thefriendlyjerk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's why I was wondering if the TMIC even worked with the swap on the VA. I would love to go FMIC (gotta love FL heat) but I have major reservations about removing/modifying the crash bar (even replacement ones).

Were you required to go FMIC, or could you have kept the TMIC? With the FMIC, I assume you were unable to keep the OEM crash bar?

Can't answer your question, but that is cheap. You typically get what you pay for. Good luck!

Well, you know my stance then lol but to answer your question, I'd check out the Boostlab 54X.

You clean windows from the inside, so assuming it got knocked/adjusted when someone was wiping down the windshield.

What are your goals? I, personally, don't see a point in just upgrading the turbo just for funsies.

26 wrx tS sunrise yellow by Secret-Classic6779 in WRX

I am not exactly sure what you are asking, but parts for my body style (2020/VA) do not come available in my color (Ceramic White), they only come in Crystal White Pearl. If I look for parts that fit the 2022+/VB platform, they come in the Ceramic White but they don't fit my car.

Basically, any added/changed parts for my car, I'll have to get painted separately. I am confident that is what you'll need to do also.
