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 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’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.

Is there a specific item or part that can cover this hole up that’s next to the air filter? I know it need cleaned up too

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

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?

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

hell yeah

reached a longtime goal 🤧

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.

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?

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

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.

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?

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!

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.

Hello my girlfriend’s center diff failed so we just put a whole other transmission in because the shop figured it would be their easiest option. So now I’m trying to rebuild the center diff on her old transmission housing and I’m assuming the viscous coupler needs to be replaced but I was wondering if these bearings on this upper shaft needed replacement?

I keep hearing this change in sound and almost metal-ish sound just before shifting. Hard to hear unless you put your phone up to your ear. From the inside of the car, it sounds like it's to the right and top, so basically above where my turbo sits, or my turbo. i always hear this noise when i do a pull and it always sounds the same right around 5-5.5k ish rpms. It's steady until then, and sometimes it will go all the way up to 6k rpm, or until i shift. I have an exhaust leak i will fix this week from the end of the downpipe-catback gasket so i don't think it's that. Any help would be appreciated because i dont know if it's normal or a mechanical issue that i've been driving with.

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

20 minute job right 😂 torque wrench lied to me, first one clicked, second one snap😢 waiting for extractor set. I even second guessed myself and still kept going anyways. Feel super dumb
