Finally got rid of my worn out, stock wheel and that silly silver, lower garnish. Also glad I went with an option that retains the airbag.

Wheel is slightly smaller than stock (both grip and diameter) and feels way better in hand. Partly because of the more "premium" leather. Excited is an understatement.

Looking to mod my 17’ wrx but don’t know what to get first. So far only a front lip was added. Any suggestions on what the priority list should be?

Just purchased my 2010 STI which is freshly delivered from living in Akita in Japan, it is an a-line which is an automatic that weren’t released in Aus originally. There doesn’t seem to be much info on the A-Line online so I’m hoping me making a few posts helps if someone is researching.
Previously had a 2012 WRX with the worst gear box experience I have ever had.

He wants to be friends for some reason

Note: The paint on my trunk it ruined already so i dont car about it hurting the paint

Does anyone know the best way to secure a skeleton to the back of my car? I want it as a nice decoration but i dont know how to keep it down

Sup dudes im about to throw away my oem PS pump but before i do I read online these were rebuildable at one point in their lifetime. Im using a rock auto PS pumo which seems to be doing good but id love a backup and oem sounds nice just without the 800 bill lol. Are there shops I could ship this to? If so please feel free to tag a link! From an old GD wrx

I won’t say how long it took as we had to fab a few pieces…haha

Take your summer tires off by thankgiving if you live in cold area. Summer tires have the grip of hockey pucks below 40°. Even if you have no snow they have little grip on bare pavement when cold

Recently just purchased this magnetic grey metallic beauty with 15k miles. Unfortunately I got into an incident where I had to swerve and I ended up curbing the 2 driver side wheels. I got quoted $600 to fix both so I thought I would just skip that and look for an aftermarket setup. I am struggling deciding between black and silver wheels. I love the idea of silver standing out a lot more but I also like the sleek look that the black gives. I am also not opposed to a bronze or gold setup. My budget is around 2k for wheels and tires. This will be my first big mod so I am looking for some advice. Any ideas help. Thanks!

Looks like the same trim as mine and everything

Had some fun with the new lighting after a wash/wax, also loved the way the cloud colors were looking.

Too excited for next weekend! Hope to see a bunch of you fools there!

Can't outrun traffic....

It's a 7 sided lug nut. I want to remove it properly instead of destroying it. Also bought car used and I never asked about the lug nuts

2026 WRX Limited

Saw -31 fule trims for a few seconds on cold start when I was on my way to the gass station and got a bit freaked out. Got gass and the car didn't want to start. When I finally got it running it was running so bad and finally idled normal but at -31. It cleared up after 5 mins but I am driving my outback for the time being untill the new purge valve comes hopefully that's the problem. Any tips if anyone has experience with the same issue? Has to be a purge valve or charcoal canister in my opinion

So this will be a bit dumb but I’m look for a new hood right now and really like the ts1 style hoods, would there be a big drawback with the difference in the scoops? Or would the intercooler still get fed enough air due to the side vents?

Started when I was in 3rd gear going about 50% load. Heard it when I came to a stop.

First time WRX owner here :)
2011 WRX limited manual transmission
Im finding that when I pop the car into reverse to park for example, I will brake and clutch in to come to a complete stop and when I do this the engine sound will get significantly louder like I’m revving the engine.
It sounds like healthy engine revving noise but I’m not sure if it’s normal and if it may be a sign of an issue.
Help would be appreciated :)

Just had the intake manifold rebuilt and provided some parts for the job, new knock sensor, coolant sensor, tgv motors, purge valve, and some other preventative things that were in the general area of that job. Also had some 3mm spacers added, a silicone turbo inlet, and the c4 cooling mod. Most of it was optional and I am wondering why I chose to do all that because now I'm just poor. What makes you guys keep going? I ask because I need a new turbo and my exhaust is leaking. All of this is just age related wear on an 03 vehicle, everything is (or was) original and seems to be failing all at once. Please convince me to keep going. Or don't! I love my car and would grieve it's loss.

Hey I have a 2018 wrx with an Axle back muffler delete. I like it and it’s pretty loud but I want a little more loudness and deeper tone. What would y’all recommend? I don’t want to spend and upgrade to something only for there to be no difference.

I would greatly appreciate advice or clips of exhausts too!

(Clip above was mild-ish cold start. She was parked for about 3 hours)

Hey, so I got this 2021 wrx that started making a rattle noise only when I give it some light throttle. To be more exact it happens between 1k5 and 3krpm and only when the boost gauge reads between the -10psi and -5psi.

I ruled out a few things already and I'm sorta looking for any ideas on where to look now.

• Changed and checked the oil, there is no sparkles, no nothing. Oil level is perfect.
• It drives fine and builds up boost, rattles gets mostly drowned out by the wind.
• Took out the belt to rule out any of the pulleys or accessories.
• I walnut blasted the intake recently.
• spark plugs are pretty new (10k miles) and no oil on them.
• Checked all the exhaust and header heat shields, they were all tight.

The only clue I got so far was that the top turbo shield seems to almost if not touch what I think is the actuator rod.

I have no cel, no misfire, car drives really good. It doesn't seem like rod knock to me or piston slap but I could be wrong? I was also thinking about the timing tensioners but the noise is more at the back of the engine.
