Why is truck so big? 🥺

Camping at a lake off the Oregon Coast. It is so doable in this car, especially with extra storage on the roof

You guys think it worth it trying to fix?

The photo speaks for itself!
P.S I really needa get a wing on my WRX

My wife had another baby so I am leaving my family because she says my WRX is not big enough. It’s been real! ✌️

I threw on a set of new wheels and we had a nice sunset here in the Phoenix, AZ area. Figured I’d share here and see what others think.

Wheel Specs: Enkei RPF1 17x9 +35
Tire Specs: Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+ 245/40

Debating on going to Subifest this Saturday. I'll be coming in from DT Long Beach. Should I go?.... 🤔

2005 wrx knocking/rattling diagnosis

Is this rod knock? it does go away while driving but everytime i start driving it makes this noise and gets worse as i accelerate.

Just picked up this beauty yesterday! 2026 WRX Premium, $33k OTD. This is my first manual car, and I’ll be driving in some semi-heavy traffic. Any tips, advice, or things I should know as a new manual driver? Thanks!

does anyone know if the 21 WRX base model wheels (17x8+55) will clear 4 pot brembos with 20mm spacers? I need to know before I order winter tires 😅

I carry a bike on a hitch mount quite frequently. Would an aggressive roof spoiler have any noticeable effect of the large speed brake I’m dragging behind my car lol? I can feel the drag at highway speeds and see the bike being forced rearwards

I don’t think it’s cooked but I’m having a hard time deducing the noise. Belt? Alternator? It comes and goes so maybe even something loose?

I will paint the block in time just limited to basically one piece per morning for now.

Just got this stock 2015 Wrx with NO modifications, only 50k miles

Really want to make this car run better and more personalized.

Caught lackin with my trusty P0420 code.

Apologies if this has been asked before but I cannot see anything via search specific to the UK.

Upgraded my head-unit from stock to something a bit better but now looking to upgrade the speakers to avoid distortion above a certain volume.

I'll admit, despite working in telecoms with copper wiring, I'm not that keen on doing extra work with adapters and wiring etc. Therefore the Kicker "plug and play" set of speakers are quite appealing.

What isn't so appealing is the cost of them on the only UK site I can find selling them, who themselves do disclose they are shipped from the US. The 4 door speakers are £330 and the tweeters £175 😵‍💫.

I can see them on SubaruOnlineParts.com for less, however when you factor in the $240 shipping cost, it comes out still over £400.

I'm thinking the answer is no, but am I missing an outlet in the UK that sells these, or will they always have to ship from the US. If so, I'm not *that* set on the plug and play option to spend that much.

I’m wanting to put new seats in the sti that hold people better since the oem seats kinda blow, I dont want a fixed seat though since i do like let my friends and family use my car so id like something adjustable. I do like the NRG bucket seats since i like the colors but i value safety and the seat being able to move more then a color. Also with Harnesses i don’t know a thing about them but was curious what brands are good and if i need a roll cage

But a buddy of mine suggested opting for the VB WRX and modding it, including a mechanical LSD (still trying to find the exact part that would fit and if I should do this)

I reckon a lightly used WRX + some decent mods including tires, suspension, tune etc. (I usually do the work myself) would save me a lot compared to the GRC. If I do go down this path, definitely picking up the body coloured fenders to replace the plastics lol.

How do you think the WRX would hold up against the GRC long term?

Thanks guys!

Bought my first car today, a 2024 wrx base model. I merged on the highway and downshifted to third gear instead of 5th. Rpm hit the red zone, 6K or more. As soon as it hit the red zone, the car kinda slowed down on its own. It drove fine after that but I’m worried I may have caused some damage that will become apparent down the line. Thoughts?

I have a 2015 base with 120k that I've had since '17. Recently I've noticed if I let the car warm up and idle for 15 minutes, it smokes when I drive down the road for a bit. It's a transparent white/blueish smoke that other people have noticed. I had a Subaru master tech do a hydrocarbons test, which it failed twice, so he wants to put a head gasket on it. He also said it's rare for my engine to need a head gasket, so he's concerned it may be the Turbo going bad. Has anyone had this issue? Is there a way to determine if the Turbo is bad?
