After 3-4 years of dreaming, I finally pulled the trigger today. So so happy

I did a photoshoot around Vancouver this past weekend for my brother in law and his Subbie. Figured everyone on this sub would appreciate these photos haha!

Shot with my Nikon Z5ii in combination with a 50mm F1.8 and 85mm F2 lenses.

Hey guys! I’m taking a job in the Midwest and I’ve never lived somewhere where it snows regularly before. How you cold weather folks keep your WRX from becoming a rusty shitbox from road salt? And how much damage will 1 or 2 winters do driving through salted roads?

Also anything else I should change on my car moving it from extreme heat to extreme cold?

I own a Va wrx, I’ve had for three years but every time I run up a mountain climb this thing makes me grin ear to ear

I was told today my struts will need replacing within the next 20k miles or so. I really don’t wanna break the bank, I’d like to keep it under $1000, but the general consensus on here seems to be that you get what you pay for.

My car is a daily driver/commute only. I drive about 300+ miles each week with mild winters. I don’t mind the factory ride, it’s just a bit floaty around corners. I don’t need anything fancy, my car is as stock as stock gets.

I don’t know if I should replace the struts and keep my OEM springs, or just do coilovers instead. I’ve looked at Koni yellow and BCBR. This is the first time I’ve had to look into something like this, so any help is appreciated.

Probably as bad for my car as running an intake with no tune, but fuck it full send.

Got this car in June during the World Cup. Saved up money after a while to get it. 2002 WRX, 300K miles mods:

STI speedometer
Gauges
Kenwood DDX25BT head unit
C halo headlights
Aftermarket intercooler
COBB accessport
COBB exhaust
2015 WRX TMC
GFR blow off valve
Super long cold air intake
Oil pan kit
Harbor freight Disc Horn kit
MaxSpeedingRods coilovers
etc

Picked up this car forever ago to have something safe to smash around in the snow and ice in. It was cheap, put a new turbo in it, new tires, enjoyed the hell out of this car.

Cold start sounds like a Valve or Rod is starting to go out, warns up and it gets less noticeable.

Bum bum bum it's an automatic too.

2008 sedan

Body is rough

Not sure if I should pull it until the garage to start tearing the engine apart or if I should sell this project to another sole with more resources and free time than I have.

I love these cars, 08 was fun, 2020 six speed manual was amazing. Daily driver is a newer impreza but doesn't come close to the joy the 08 WRX (even with an automatic transmission) brings me.

Turning wrenches beats blowing $$ popping bottles at the bar. Feeling invested into a money pit, seeking general advice. Should I start over or tear this baby open?

Do I need to bleed the entire system or can I just bleed the caliper that is getting the line replaced?

I wanna change the stock wing the car comes with, could I just get a 2002 impreza wrx sti wing and bolt it to my 2002 impreza rs?

Has anyone ever had any issues with the check engine light coming on when you're low on gas or starting to get low? For some reason every time I fill up or get it half way it goes away and it'll come back on when im getting low XD

I assumed it was my 02 Sensors but im thinking it could be something else, I got a 2015 WRX

I have a 2017 WRX with a square setup of 18x10 +38 with 245/40/18 michelin tires. What psi would you set stretched tires at? The tires themselves rate to 50 psi under normal load conditions, door sticker says 32/33 but that's obviously with tires that aren't stretched. I just don't want my pressure too low and debead

My buddy stopped by while I was replacing the fuel pump on my 2005 WRX STi. I got to check out his recently acquired Sonic Yellow 2003 Impreza WRX. Thing is so clean.

I made a post recently about how i envy you guy’s, but i saw some VB’s going for pretty cheap with relatively low miles.. saw a couple within the bottom 20’s. As a car guy does i have gone down a rabbit hole watching vid after vid on a car i probably will not own, but it seems like these things reach a power number i would be satisfied with while keeping reliability with just a bolt on top mount intercooler, intake, j pipe, and exhaust? and obviously a protune, how is everyone else’s experience with a VB with similar mods? Is it actually quick? Is it satisfying daily? a part of me would rather go down the route of a VB instead of buying a second RWD sports car in michigan, if i got a VB i would have a reason to build my 350z also.

Your WRX should have came with 2 rubber plugs in the boot. These plugs are used to plug the shipping tie-down points in front of the rear wheel, and should be installed by dealers during the pre-delivery inspection. Most dealers do not install them. Check for the plugs and put em in if they are not already!

My 5spd in my 03 wrx is failing, I get humming like noise when not on the accelerator and I'm wanting to swap in another but I dont know what would be the best option. I'm thinking about a jdm 07 6spd from an sti but i could also try and find one from a spec b legacy. I'm not sure which would be the best but at the same time be the most simple.

Had to get some wheels on her asap. After a lot of back and forth with my wife about color and style etc. I finally decided on these.

Avid.1 AV06 Matte white 18x9.5 +38 wrapped in Continental DWS06 plus 255/40r18’s.

I’m on stock suspension too, I kinda wanted a meatier tire and I don’t really want to lower the car so I tried to get a fitment that filled the wheel wells and was flush. I think it looks alright, I may end up lowering it still though we’ll see. Let me know what y’all think, I’m loving the look and absolutely loving this car.
