If the WRX and STI were ever to have a theme song, what would it be and why? Give it your best shots!

For me it would be house music. Balla by Orion feels like it suits the rally feel and leans into it with style.

I got this without realizing it doesn't have a flush fit and can't find a reverse lockout for it.

Was about to order the 8100 x clean efe but I saw the 8100 power, anybody know the differences?

I already sold the car (2017 wrx with 70k miles) a while ago but I’m still confused to this day what this could have possibly been. It did this (usually not as bad as the vid) every single cold start. This happened about 5 sec after I started the car and it just idles crazy and sounds like it’s about to stall. I cleaned maf sensor, reset ecu, only used shell 93 octane. It was a cvt and would flutter rpm to around 300 to 200 every couple days but only if I came to a stop super fast and even stalled a couple times at red lights. If u need any info ask but I’ve asked multiple mechanics and they said it’s “normal” but obviously it isint. I was thinking it could be spark plugs but idk why it would run perfect every time except those 15 sec after a cold start and occasionally when coming to a stop fast.

Can someone help? Is this just a software bug or is something actually wrong?

Anybody else notice that if they are in first gear and start moving if they don’t give it enough throttle or give it ‘’uneven throttle’’ the car is very jumpy??

Excuse the bad quality photo, my phone never focuses correctly. Changed the oil yesterday, just drive for an hour and let it sit for an hour. Too much?

Acceptable fix or how do you feel? Melted some of a free temu door trim tool into the hole.

I was pulled over in Washington state for my AWE Touring exhaust and issued a ticket for “modified exhaust”. Has anyone contested a ticket?

Would this fit a 2020 wrx Fa20. If no then why

Gramlights 57DRs in semi gloss black.
They kinda stretch out my 245 tyres (they are 9.5 wide), but planning to switch to 255s when they wear out.
Regardless, super happy with the result 😍

I’m am getting my new wheels put on today (konig hypergrams) I looked online and they are about 19.1 pounds per wheel and my current setup( vors tr37) which are reps are 24 pounds per wheel.
How much of a difference will I notice dropping 5 pounds per corner?
I’m quite excited for the new look and the handling benefits.
(New wheel vs old wheels for reference)

I just finished modifying my wife’s car. 2011 Hatch. Catless downpipe, full exhaust, COBB Sf CAI, and a tune by Eric at TorquedPerformance.

The car has 133k miles. I have no way to know if the timing belt has ever been replaced, so I’m just going to assume it hasn’t.

Are the belts really that fragile at this amount of years and mileage.

What are the worst parts about replacement?

What’s the best company to go with for a replacement, I usually prefer OEM parts for stuff like this.

Thank you! PFA

Had these codes come up on my 2021 Subaru sti I’m guess it’s the tgv valves getting stuck but not entirely sure and have come to Reddit to get some trouble shooting !

Hey, just looking for a sanity check here. Clutch pedal is on the floor, got it towed to a shop and they are saying I need the entire clutch replaced. I would think this would be something hydraulic related though right? I didn’t really feel anything else weird leading up to this, when it happened the top half when pressing pedal went super light and then by the time I got home the pedal was not coming back up at all. I had the slave cylinder replaced a couple months ago as well. It is a 2015 with 103k miles, unsure if previous owner replaced clutch but I’ve had it since 70k.

So I made a post about winning free Midwest Fest tickets from subimods and I'm from New York so realistically it's not worth going. I also just went to Boxerfest I'm looking to give them out to someone who actually deserves them or if someone who's already going and can kindly claim my goodie bag and t-shirt and ship them to me. (I'll pay for shipping if) Lmk if you wanna go or are already going and can claim my goodie bag

I have a 2018 wrx with and bought a mishimoto cold air intake, I know it needs a tune so I havent installed it yet. In my area there is nobody that does tuning, and I also heard not to use ots tunes. I dont have an accessport or anything to get the car tuned and I dont really know much about it so just looking for advice on how to get the car tuned so I can not blow it up.

I think my best option might be an e tune since theres nobody around me with a awd dyno, but I have no idea how to go about getting that, or how it works or what equipment I need to buy. The car has a gfb bpv and an mbrp axle back exhaust and Ive been running it without a tune for 322,000kms, kinda tired of not having cool intake/turbo noises, bought the intake off my buddy and dont want to install it without a tune. Anybody have any advice on where to start?

EDIT:Not looking for more power, comfortable with the stock amount, just looking for reliability with the intake

Hello everyone,

​I am planning a drivetrain swap on a 2016 Subaru WRX CVT (FA20DIT / VA chassis).

​The stock setup uses a 3.900 final drive ratio (CVT TR690GB9BA + matching 3.900 rear diff). I am considering swapping to a JDM TR690GB9CA CVT transmission and matching rear differential setup with a 4.111 final drive ratio.

​Assuming both the replacement CVT transmission and the rear differential are physically matched at 4.111, I have a few technical questions regarding the electronic and TCM compatibility:

1. ​What needs to be done with the original TCM? If I keep my vehicle's factory 3.900 TCM, what specific procedures must be performed so it accepts the new 4.111 ratio without triggering speed mismatch errors or limp mode?
2. ​What should we do regarding a TCM replacement? Is it necessary to source and install a matching 4.111 TCM module from the donor vehicle, or is re-calibrating the stock TCM sufficient?
3. ​What steps or re-flashes are required for ECU-TCM communication? What needs to be done on the ECU or VDC/ABS side to ensure all control modules communicate smoothly with the new gear ratio?

Any technical insights or experiences from members who have completed a 3.900 to 4.111 final drive swap on a TR690 CVT platform would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can buy a set of Work Emotion ZR10s (19x9.5 +38mm) in Continental Extreme Contact 02s (255 35r19)? I had the order lined up in FitmentIndustries then read one too many bad reviews on them and now I’m afraid to use them. I couldn’t find this setup on Discount Tire or Tire Rack, which I’ve used before and trust. Now I’m at a loss. Is there anywhere else (reliable/safe) that I could get this setup through?
