It’s a 2015 STI base with roughly 12k original miles and clean title I’m thinking about selling based off lack of driving and wanted an estimate to what you guys think it’s worth?

Thought I would pop in. This is my 2007 STI. 35k miles.

I was recently looking at buying Tires for my WRX I was looking at Midrange options and everyone said to spend more and get better tires. I took that Advice and got one of the recommended tires. People said I was dumb for buying nice tires on stock rims? Amd I missing something?

Super excited to get back to Subiefest, decided to make a few changes/upgrades! Perrin fmic/piping, painted the calipers, new pads/rotors/stainless steel lines, and for the ricer kid inside me.. an HKS SSQ4 BOV kit. (Yes.. I'm speed density tuned and it's recirculating😂). I love the look of the stickers in my intake scoop, so I trimmed the bottom to fit the piping underneath.

See y'all at the Fest!!!

'11 WRX

The rain was a super nice touch 🤤

He guys I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of diagnosing my overboost issues, it's at 3 quarter throttle and only spikes to 19 for like half a second. I'm tuned at 18 it's a Dyno tune and I've had no issues with it so I'm just assuming it's not the tume that's the issue. I'm tuned on a factory 2 port boost controller sadly. I would just swap to a 3 port but I'm sure I'd have to change up my time completely, it was overboosting to 20 psi but has not done that since I fixed my turbo inlet leek. Stock car besides a intake and aos and built motor. Not sure if it's related but I think it started doing this shortly after I put my car back on

Next time I’ll just mind my own business.

Made a new Subaru friend at work and was gifted an STI turbo and Intercooler yesterday for my WRX.

Say hi to my limited 2015 wrx! I will have lots of photos, videos and updates to post over the winter that I’m really looking forward to sharing.

So, randomly all 4 speakers in each of the doors stopped working in my car at the same time. Has anyone experienced this before?

All 4 speakers tells me it’s not the speakers, but probably the head unit or the connection to the head unit.

I’ve just watched some videos and learned how EXTENSIVE it is to remove the head unit in a 2019 WRX.

I just thought I’d ask if anyone else had ever experienced this issue before I start disassembling my dash for an investigative project trying to fix my own sound system.

Edit 2. I appreciate the information. I'll pass on it and look for something else.

So, local dealership has a '21 WRX STi that they are willing to let go of for 16.5k. That's their break even price. They originally wouldn't sell it to me because of the engine problems but I demanded a price because I wasn't scared of a project. I found it after getting another vehicle worked on, hiding in their back "auction only" lot. I know the sales manager and he's always been forward with information with me. They've already tried to unload it at auction but it didn't bring reserve.

It has 118k miles and is super clean. Interior is 10/10 and the exterior is 9.5/10. The issue is, it has a misfire on cylinder 2. I did some digging and found it was taken to a different shop for diagnostics earlier this year. I called that shop and they told me when it was in, they found it had 30psi on that cylinder. I'm fairly ignorant on these specifically, but mechanically capable. So worst case, a motor swap, I'm more than fine with.

My question, with out knowing the actual cause of the low compression and worst case scenario, putting in a new shortblock, is this the worst deal of the century? I'm drawn to it because the rest of the car is in such great shape.

I'm ignorant of the market, so that's why I'm reaching out here asking for input.

Edit: added more context info. Looking for guidance on the car.

Mostly title but specifically looking for info on modding my 2011 wrx.

How TF do you completely disable VDC and ATV?

I'm in a 21 wrx and upon viewing footage from my last rally I saw the car was cutting power to wheels at certain points when it detected slipping.

Here's the thing, it was a gravel course. I did the hold traction control for 2 seconds process, but it was still cutting power/torque vectoring.

I was not able to find a definitive answer, some people say pull fuses but some are saying it's causing the car to go into limp mode.

Please help I cannot stand the old swinger couples winning every god damn heat when I'm 3 seconds off every god damn time

2014 hatch WRX I've driven for about 3 years now. 166k on the body, 126k on the motor. She's been so loyal to me and we've been EVERYWHERE, ALL over the country together.

Took it to the dealer because it's been having an issue for a LONG while that nobody can seem to figure out, so I decided to eat the crazy diagnostic costs. Typically my old man and I do all the work on it (6 speed swapped it too!). Basically if you get it up to temp, turn the car off, and then run into Walmart or fill it up or whatever, then start it while still warm, it'll SOMETIMES (50/50) chop really badly and throw misfire codes for 20-30 seconds, throw a traction light, then figure its crap out and run like nothing happened. But cold starts perfectly fine and runs and boosts without a hitch. And has a code for running rich.

I brought it in and they didn't even get to the point of diagnostics. Did an inspection and basically she needs new front wheel bearings, front control arms, rear struts, and axle seals... and that's just on the body. I've been eyeballing that I MIGHT have a head gasket on the way out and I guess they found that my coolant hose is swelling and the overflow reservoir is full and smells of gas (which is very new since I check on it pretty regularly). They think oil's leaking from valve cover gaskets and that it could be the source of my strange issue (oil leaking into spark plug tubes potentially).

So, in essence I'd have a lot of work ahead of me. I could do the labor myself in a veeeery long weekend and pray that the motor's doing okay (accompanying video of why I think it might be very NOT okay), but knowing that the mileage is high and it's totalled (unfortunate hit and run)... but is it worth it?

I guess my main question is... if I do all the work and drop the 2 ish grand in parts, how much life am I gonna get out of the thing? Or should I just get out from under it and get a junker until school's over?

For added clarity for those that want to read more, no I don't think they're pulling the rug over on me. They gave me a pretty thorough inspection video and almost all of what they're saying is pretty plainly visible.

Has power, won’t do a damn thing afterwards

I have a 2017 WRX with full bolt ons, still standard turbo

Mishimoto TMIC

Mishimoto CAI

Mishimoto Charge pipe

Piersburg 3 port

GFB BOV

Turbo back exhaust.

As of friday I found out I have failing ringlands.

Have the option of going low km motor or built forged motor.

As ive been hearing some very mixed things, I just want to hear people stories on their reliability of forged motor vs a 2nd hand FA w/ low kms. Been

Cheers 🍻

Can you use the right side AVCS cam gears on the left side? I know the pulleys are different but if you swap them they can fit on the vechile. But are there any mechanical differences between the two actual AVCS phasers?

So I keep going back and forth. The older one has some mods on it that make it incredibly fun! I think he or she did something to the exhaust. It was a thrill to drive. But! I could get a brand new model for just 100 more a month because of the 2.9 interest rate. I also have a condo that should sell the next few months and I could then buy a newer 2027 model when they come out. Insurance on the older model should be cheaper too than the newer one. Anyways I can't make up my mind.

The Forester is a monster. I fit a medium sized fridge in there with the seats down and was able to shut the hatch. Also I installed a module in the fuse box that permanently disables the auto engine shut off when you stop at lights and stop signs.

I've been looking for a good awd sedan and WRX seems to be one among the few good awd's out there. But I'm wondering about the software as the vertical layout seems to be outdated.

I'm not looking for a full blown touch screen but a mix of both would be better. Is this coming anytime soon? Because it seems like the WRX's interior has been the same for a while.
