Hey guys I'm trying to swap my wingless trunk to an oem STI spoiler one. I was wondering if someone that has a STI can show me pictures of where the wires that connect to the 3rd brake light on the spoiler connect to? I'm obviously ok buying the connection wires but I want to see where they connect to inside the trunk or where they branch off from past the trunk hinges. I really don't want to solder the wire onto the rear tail light and I'd rather just have proper connectors if possible.

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

for those that got their roofs wrapped what is a rough cost of doing so, or is it easy to DIY? looks like I'm getting some early clearcoat failure on my roof so looking to see if wrapping it black could be an option to hide it.

Been having a click coming from the front passenger side when cranking the wheel right. Either at a stop or when moving slowly. Went to local shop and they said it was my passenger side cv axle. Got it replaced with a new OEM cv axle, but it’s still making the same noise. Does anyone know what it is?

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?

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.

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 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

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.

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'm looking at a 2023 WRX Sport-tech for $32,790+tax with 27,618km, before I bite the bullet I wanted to ask if they've become more reliable?

I've read online that the newer 5th Gen should be able to easily make it to 250,000km with good maintenance schedule, but wanted to ask here and find out if that's true?

For what I'm paying I'd like the car to outlast the 6 year financing term

Thanks in advance!

I'm replacing my timing chain, tensioners, guards, etc. I'm down to these 4 clips and I can remove the cover. I've pressed everywhere. What am I doing wrong? Should I be pressing where my garbage blue arrows are? Or where the X is?

I’m looking for a fairly specific tune, just thought I’d ask if anyone happened to have what I needed because it’s not super obscure and a common swap.

VF 48 turbo
565 injectors
420 LPH pump
Headers
Full exhaust
Intake
Front mount
Motor was just out, resealed, and timing chain

I know it’s a longshot, but thanks for looking!

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.

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.

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?

I want some gauges. I want them to look nice though. I already have an aem afr and oil pressure gauge mounted in the smy dual dash cluster. I want some analogue display ones (boost, oil temp, and water temp) for a triple gauge gauge pod mounted where the clock goes.

I would buy defi but they dont make em in freedom units anymore. Any good alternatives that are similar to the defi's? Ive seen some offerings from prosport but have heard mixed reviews.

Hey, I’ve got a 2011 wrx, it’s well driven so I’m thinking of doing some suspension upgrades, I do daily drive it, so I don’t want anything extreme, but I was wondering what some good aftermarket strut options are

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

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?

As the title say, I'm thinking of getting an ecohitch (the one that goes through the bumper) to carry small trailer as I'm tired of asking other people when I need to go get stuff and I'm also thinking of getting a small fishing boat (something around 1000-1200 pounds).

I was wondering what was other peoples experience regarding this hitch ans this kind of towing with the car (I know technically tow capacity is 0) cause I'm finally car paiement free and dont feel like switching to an outback just yet (maybe a wilderness one in couple of years).

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.
