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.

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.

General Question Am I okay to learn manual on a Subaru WRX?

29 Upvotes

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.

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!

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

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.

Anyone know what this sound is from?

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.

General Question 2016 Wrx center differential rebuild advice.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

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?

General Question Best gas for WRX?

3 Upvotes

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.

Any guesses before it gets hauled to get rebuilt / swapped?

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

For those that wrapped roof in vinyl

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.

Does anyone know what this noise is from? 2020 STi

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?

(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.

General Question 11WRX exhaust flange NUT for spring bolt - have you guys used aftermarket? I'm not near a Subaru and need a nut asap.

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?
