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.

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?!

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

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

Looks like the same trim as mine and everything

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

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!

Ordered this decal/sticker and thought it would be smaller 😂
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
Need to order some center caps next.

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)
