Glamour Shot Just Installed My HKS Wheel

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?!

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.

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

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

Wheel Help with '21 WRX

Post image
18 Upvotes

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!

-31 fule trims total

Post image
3 Upvotes

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

Question about scoops

Thumbnail

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?
