Just sharing, because why not. New to the WRX community as I just got this a couple weeks ago (traded in my Crosstrek). Still in the break-in period, so I’m still babying it, but it’s been a blast. My last manual was a Honda S2000 like 15 years ago, so it’s good to be back in a fun car. Really digging the galaxy purple, too. Cheers.

Saw this one on Facebook and thought you guys might think it’s funny

After finishing basic maintenance and swapping scratched mirror caps to carbon fiber ones, the new wrap is finally installed. Waited a long time for this and totally worth it.

So I’ve been meaning to learn manual and I would really like to do it on a WRX but I’ve read that it’s not good to learn manual on it as you might destroy the clutch etc etc.

I mean I did a lesson already but I would really love to practice on my own.

Keen with the new gens.

In your guys opinion . What’s my best option for a set of all weather tires r17’s that I can use all seasons including winter , we tend to get some pretty good snowfalls , I have been using blizzaks which work amazing but I’m tired of swapping them every year , any recommendations? Thank you

So I stupidly reversed into small boulder while in a rush and got some (I’m assuming) irreparable bumper damage along with the wheel and part of the quarter panel.

Wanted to see if anyone here has bought a prepainted bumper from any 3rd parties and if anyone has any recs, thanks in advance!

Very happy with how it turned out so thought I'd share 😊

I’ve been wanting an Sti for such a long time welp today I can say I’m am an owner of one now :)

Picked up this 2016 wrx for 9k and I gotta say it’s been a blast to drive from my understanding it’s FBO so it can scoot when it needs too

hell yeah

reached a longtime goal 🤧

Well boys, I just spent about 2 hours throwing on some LedGlow to the racecar and I have to say, my inner child is so damn happy I shed a tear seeing this finally happen to a vehicle I own. Having grown up on Fast & Furious and of course the famous scene from the movie Cars pushing me to this choice, I decided to just bite the bullet and get me a set of lights and man am I stoked. Install was super easy with the double sided tape already on them and included c clamps to go around and screw into the plastic underbody. Remote works great and the lights are super bright in person. The remote it comes with will let me change if I want it solid, flashing, strobe effect, or even a morris code "sos", but will leave it on solid as the car already begs to be pulled over with the side exit and everything else going on.

I barely drive this thing on the street anymore and the past about year and a half has been me turning it into a time attack/hill climb only car and she will still randomly see the streets when it is super nice, but I have only put about 1800miles the last 2 years on it.. But man... Seeing what I have done to this car the past almost 6 years it seriously just makes me so damn happy and proud to own this thing.

So I just bought this car 2 weeks ago, 2015 Wrx base with 53k miles. Now this sound is somewhat concerning and I’ve been able to replicate it but I have no idea what it is. It only happens after the car has been sitting overnight, literally the first start up of everyday. I usually leave my car in 2nd gear with E brake engaged like usual. Now when I Cold start, and move the shifter into neutral you can hear it sounds like a grinding noise. But I don’t get any feedback in the lever itself. So it’s not the gear grinding (atleast I don’t think so) and in the vid the clutch is fully engaged as I throw it into neutral. Any idea what this could be and if I should be concerned? Like i said it only happens once. On the first start up of the day after the car has been sitting overnight. I can’t get it to happen at any other time.

Passenger side of aftermarket carbon hood, Sitting very high above fender. The rest of the gaps are good. Any suggestions to get it to sit more flush before I quit and put it up for sale?

I’m curious to know where y’all get your gas from for your WRX. I recently bought a 2015 Premium and normally I just go to Costco. But I’ve heard that different places have their own chemicals that clean/help the car. I just want to treat my WRX with extra love and care.

I’m sending the car to my semi local Subaru shop to get rebuilt , or even swapped albeit I’m concerned about inheriting someone else’s dumpster fire of a motor, I wanted to see if anyone can guess what this sound is ? I will post an update when they tell me what the issue was. I know revving it isn’t good but I don’t really care since it’s getting fully rebuilt. The car is running kinda rich so idk if that will give any pointers. Car is bone stock from what I can see other than the BOV as you can hear. 2009 WRX

(p.s. For all the comments, YES I know it’s not canon 😂, the GR didn’t come out until 2008, I just happen to own one. Just imagine you’re time travelling haha)

How do you think a WRX could keep up with the Evo and Eclipse? Does it fit in as a heist vehicle?

So this happened on the highway today.
Had the car new since 2017 (it’s a 2015 WRX).
I missed 55,555 by 3kms as I wasn’t attentive enough.

I have new bolts but no nuts. I know I need M10 x 1.25 locking nuts but can I use any kind as long as they're stainless steel? Have any of you?

Hey all, threw a code today. P2123. Upon starting my car for the first time in 2 days, it was immediately in limp mode, dash lit up like a Christmas tree, no power steering, reduced throttle response. Can't get it to go away, and for things to go back to normal. Drove fine a couple days ago, no hints at an issue at all. Where would my starting point be here for diagnosis? Throttle positioning sensor? Should I just replace and go from there? Hoping someone has dealt with this prior, thanks in advance.

Hello, everyone! Long time lurker and now a first time owner!

I was trying to find an STI but they prices/conditions were crazy in my area but saw this one for sale and it only had one owner at 140k miles and perfect service history from 2011 to august of this year. Especially for being in SoCal

Felt like in this condition it was too good to pass up!
Unsure if I want to do any sort of modding to it. First time driving a manual in 3 years after coming from a Veloster N. Clutch feels different or I'm that rusty.

Any tips for maintenance/care?

VIN: JF1GR7E60BG832576
Just in case the previous owner is around here

Repost as I forgot to leave out a part of the photo lo

Hello, i finally want to buy a subaru and im torn between two cars. The first one is a bugeye sti with prodrive package. It has 93.000km, zero rust and got a brand new ej207 w20c block. The shop will do the break in and tune it after. It is sold by a known subaru specialist. It is literally in perfect condition but i dont know if it will be the right choise for a daily driver. The other car is a 2016 wrx with 46.000km (it is currently the only wrx va for sale in my country). The price of these two is almost the same. Wich one should i go for? I drive ~15.000km per year and it will also be used in winter. Is the fa20 safe to buy at this mileage?

Finally happened. Been dreading this day for 10 years. Today I was given the bad news that my engine is toast. I was picking up Chinese food and driving there was bog standard 2 min drive with no drama but when I went to go home the car was not running right but it didn't make any knocking sound and I really had thought it would be fine after a moderate service. Boy was I wrong. I was second owner and been daily driving my WRX for 10 years now. She started with 40k and now at 170k miles. She was extremely reliable for 99% of it even though I was without ac for a whole summer I never even thought about getting rid of her. I still don't want to but I was given a estimate from Subaru of about $14.5k for a used engine. I only have a budget of just under $10k. Im still looking at more engine options and am expecting a estimate from a local independent shop. Anyone else have a local shop do theirs recently and if so how much did it run you? Also am i crazy for thinking I can do it for $10k or less?
