The End of the Rattle!

This might get banned for the youtube link but - holy cow! I sound proofed the back of my 2020 WRX tonight and it feels like a totally different car. Loved the power, but the rattle that came with the rumble drove me nuts. No longer a problem.

New Subaru Owner Questions

Hello everyone, im new to reddit and also to owning a subaru. Recently purchased a used 2017 STI been trying to find all the aftermarkets parts on the vehicle before trying to drive more aggressive. It has a cobb access port, Cobb BPV, Tomei Silicone Turbo inlet, Cobb heatshield and Downpipe, Cobb catback exhaust. Im trying to figure out if thats enough to run stage 2 91 OTS or should I stay at Stage 1. When I first got it the car was running super rich af learning 1 was reading at -25, tightened all intake lines, cleaned the MAF sensor and changed the air filter. Reduced it normal levels and today I reflashed to a stage 2 and im running at -3.1 at idle and complete 0.0 when driving and hitting boost. Am I doing anything wrong. Any information would be greatly appreciated

BRAKE PADS

I purchased some W1 brake pads and I didn’t really think about the fact that because they’re organic brakes they’re a golden/beige colour, when I put these into my 2008 wrx is that beige colour going to be visible and obvious? I have blue calipers so I feel like it will clash if it’s visible

Crutch of my Clutch

Did some impromptu mods this weekend and pulled the engine for a clean and refresh. Clutch was at 120,000 miles and felt it needed a changing. After completing the job my clutch slave and master just would not bleed. Clutch engagement is there but nowhere near what I should expect for a new system Any reasonable recommendations on how I can get pressure back into my clutch pedal??

;TLDR my clutch has no pedal pressure HELP!

Hey all

Hello I have a 2011 WRX Hatch and want the iconic turbo flutter everyone loves and I’ve heard ball bearing turbos don’t get affected by compressor surge very much and my vf52 is a ball bearing so I’m just trying to figure out if there’s any block off plates for that to block off the bov since I won’t need it but can’t find any that fit and don’t have time to make one custom since I don’t have a drill 😭 any recommendations for any from ppl with experience in these?

Beefy Trans Mount

Installing the Perrin Trans Mount tomorrow, on my 2008 WRX. My current mount does not feel good, it rattles on startup, and definitely feels sloppy while driving. Looking forward to a much stiffer feel with this mount.

Who else has experience with these solid mounts? Is it a drastic difference in driving experience? What are your thoughts?

So uh… that’s bad, right?

Checked the oil for the first time in two weeks, noticed a smidge of coolant at the top of the dipstick. I thought my exhaust smelled a little bit sweet and figured I’d check the cap; imagine my surprise…

Queston…?

Brought my car into the mechanic today for my new car. All was well but he told me once in a while I gotta take it out and let loose a bit to prevent crystallizing the turbo? Can someone help clarify what he means? Thank you.

2008 WRX Front Bumper Recommendations

Hey, I am looking to get a new bumper for my 2008 WRX, I personally think the stock one is really derpy looking from certain angles. I know the STI bumper swap is impossible because it’s not as wide, otherwise I would do that because the STI bumpers are awesome looking.

Just looking to get some recommendations from reddit
