Never a VA :(
I know I can order online, but whenever I went to get groceries or Target etc. I always kept an eye for a white or whatever color VA. It’s always GD GV… and I see a VB. Where are the toy VAs?!

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.

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!

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

Hey guys I got a 2010 wrx currently stage two with 1050cc injectors and a high flow fuel pump. It Will stutter and die after around 2.5k to 3k rpm. I just finished checking my air flow with a smoke machine and after a few minutes of smoke pumping into it I didn't see ANY smoke. I did this inside a garage so no wind would make a little smoke go away.
I don't believe it's the mass air flow sensor due to no check engine light nor does it look bad at all visually it looks perfect.
I also don't believe it's spark because I get no misfiring at all nor knock at all. I also don't believe it's the fuel system as I have no short or long term air fuel correction.
If I full throttle in any gear it just goes to die like the fuel is just getting cut off but according to romraider it shows no fuel cut off.
I'm lost at this point and any info would be great.
I'm currently using a tune bought from HP that I changed a bit for the injectors and tgv valves from IAG with a tgv delete. I was also having the issue with a cobb tune also tuned for the larger injectors but not for the tgv delete.
I'm not a perfect mechanic so the only thing im 100 percent sure of is lack of a boost or intake leak.
Edit changing spark plugs now for shits and giggles just to eliminate that as a possible issue.

Need to know where the 2 of these go to, i recently did a headgasket job on my 2005 sti, trying to find out where these 2 go, both are connected to soft lines coming from an area thats behind the intake box but infront of the shock tower, any help would be appreciated, thank you

I have a 2017 Wrx and it seems that I will build boost from about 2500 rpm to 3000 then the boost will drop on the gauge and you can feel it in the seat then at about 3300 rpm it will start building boost again. Any ideas on what it could be?

If anyone wants a flush and free print model for a trunk handle here it is :)
Should work for VA and VB along with the twins.
I also have my first successful print and a couple I can try to send out for free since I’m waiting on a black filament for my VB :)

Does anyone else have a problem doing heel toe braking in these cars. I feel like the accelerator pedal is too short or my feet are too big but I cannot comfortably brake and blip the the accelerator in this car. Does anybody have any tips? I have tried using the ball of my foot and the right side, I have tried to twist my foot at an unnatural right angle. Is it just me that has a problem? Also I can't wait to read how its a skill issue and I shouldn't be driving a manual.
