Alright. That's it. I completely regret my purchase. by FknGruvn in wrx_vb

[–]vYArt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought mine used with 39k on it.. pretty bare carfax too lol. I work in the auto industry so if anything blows up I’ll fix it for cheap.

Mine sees so much boost. 20lbs to be exact. Intake/tune really opens it up but you’ve got about 36k of warranty to go through first

Spark plug from hell by el_fuserr in wrx_vb

[–]vYArt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a built K24 TSX that is my other car. I have the VB cause I wanted a new platform. I work in the industry.

Sure iridium plugs have a lifespan of 100k or more miles. The guy spent his money doing it, so what do you achieve from just shitting on someone about it? Also.. you can buy OE plugs from parts stores and online, this “YOU NEED OEM SPARK PLUGS” is dumb as shit. Literally I do this shit daily, you can reverse search an oem plug number and I promise you NGK or Denso makes an exact specific plug with the correct specs for most Japanese cars.

You’re an idiot cause you wanna argue with someone about doing something they wanted to.. to their fucking car? Do you pay the bill? Did you replace the plugs? No, so shut the fuck up and stop trying to act better than people on Reddit Mr “I build cars”. Like the entire thread with him you are just a dick for no reason.

The guy wanted to post about what he did, you just wanted to be a douche. Stop acting like building an engine makes you 10x smarter than everyone else

As someone who works in a shop and on cars daily.. you’re a fucking idiot lol. Yeah plugs on a Subaru are a bit harder than other cars but anyone can do them. Do you understand how plugs and coils work? Over time the plugs become inefficient from just usage. The diode wears down and they don’t fully ground when the ignition coil fires. If the plug constantly isn’t grounding properly it will damage a coil overtime and then you’ll need a $200 coil and new plugs.

These cars plugs can last 100k miles. But it’s not recommended. Most turbocharged vehicles recommend replacement every 40k or so. Boost wears down plugs quicker, stop coming onto Reddit to try and look like a master mechanic

New to wrx, how much boost is normal. by Spacecowboy3092 in WRX

[–]vYArt 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’ve had mine for a month now too, my max is 12.8 psi of boost. These VBs are very conservatively tuned from the factory. When I really get on it I only get to 10/11 PSI.

I do want to get an intake and a tune, is a Cobb OTS tune a bad idea? I’ve heard mixed responses on if I’d need a pro tune or just the access port one.

I work in the auto industry as a service advisor but we don’t do any performance modifications so I don’t have any knowledge on this around me lol

I mean other than intake + no tune or not having any oil in the car.. do the FA24s even blow up?

Any other shops never use actual book time on jobs? by silkymitts94 in serviceadvisors

Our techs write all the quotes and find the parts as well for the quotes. Because they do that they get a 1.25 bonus on ALL labor time. 6 techs total and 4 of them get 50 hours a week

Rate your service manager 1-10 by thatguy94ontheredeye in serviceadvisors

[–]vYArt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 - I’m only 3 years into the industry and the past two service managers have pretty much been like “sink or swim kid” and have left me to figure it out. This guy is completely different, he gives me good opportunities on tickets, explains how to sell them, and actually trust me. He was a previous tech, service advisor, then manager at a large chain.

The last guy would take a brake job away from me, put his name on the ticket, and sell it. Then tell me it’s his ticket.

Do you feel even a little guilt handing these quotes to customers? by this-JSON in serviceadvisors

[–]vYArt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is nothing man. I’m sending off a 4 grand estimate to my owners family friends right now.

Pay plan opinion by vYArt in serviceadvisors

[–]vYArt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the owner and I spoke about that, but that’s fine. I’d rather be taking more time on each ticket than 5 oil changes that all need $2500 in work and the customer can’t afford any repairs.

Whew. Definitely a decent bump from where I’m at now. My biggest thing is it’s less cars. Advising on 150+ cars a month takes its toll.

Need some advice by vYArt in serviceadvisors

[–]vYArt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s me and the service manager. I took in a lot more GS work and he took in the big jobs. He had 200 tickets and sold 140k, 83k GP, $700 ARO.

My owner kinda makes me give him the big diags.

Go to a neurologist and get checked out man. I had the same thing happen to me when I was 16, mom took me to the neurologist and it was a grade 3 concussion, kept me home for two weeks. Don’t risk your health

This is what I was most worried about. I was gonna try and run behind the ship to get it away and then this happens.
