Me personally I actually really dig that wing, thinking about installing one on my WRX.

Or what other similar wings to yall recommend so I can avoid the ThAtS nOt aN sTi!!!🤡

Also, has anyone done a swap?
Was it an easy on bolt and bolts back on?
I have a guy who wants to trade his trunk for my trunk and his has the STI wing.

Looking into getting an sti wing for my bugeye wrx (bought it wingless and the trunk holes from the OEM wrx wing has patching/ plugging done by the previous owner and it isn’t the greatest) I’m curious as to if the ikon wing sags in the middle, and how it does with paint as I’m respraying my entire car in the next couple of months. Thanks!

How many of yall are running ebay front lips and how have they held up? I have a 2020 STI and I can't justify paying $150+ for a nice lip especially with how bad the roads are in NC. Any recommendations is greatly appreciated 🙏

Yeah, I've been buried under the hood getting the supplemental lights working. The big part is getting it so the supplementals would shut down with the HI-beam stalk. The 2025 is much more tied into the CANBUS system than my previous '11 was. So I had to get some specialty parts. I bought a CanBus reader from CANM8. (actual spelling) They have many options (and I think they can do requests if you have something off the beaten path).

The CanBus reader reads the cars internal CanBus signals and provides an ON/OFF signal. I also have an interrupt switch before the main power relay so I can manually disable them.

Parts are a Morimoto double pod adapter.

Diode Dynamics ditch light frame.

Switch is from RaceCarGoBrrrr

a pair of Baja lighting 2" (I will not go back to Baja because the bolts galvaniclly weld to the aluminum body).

Reddit's photos were being a pain to use. I have a test movie up above.

Photos that I took while putting this together:

Movie with a test bulb to make sure I had wired it correctly:

and I got the photos corrected.

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

Sorry for the low quality picture, this was the best shot I could get with shoving my phone down between the cylinder head and the frame rail. I've been doing the sparks on my 2013 GR WRX and have been having a devil of a time with it (first time? Yep.) Cylinder 2 came out and went in with no problems when I used a combination of hand tightening followed by a magnetic socket with a swivel joint and extensions. The same cannot be said of cylinder 4: With or without extensions the spark plug was very difficult to remove and took a considerable amount of force; the porcelain on the old plug actually cracked while it was being removed, so I vacuumed the socket to try to remove any debris. I've found the new plug extremely difficult to get in, since it seems to resist hand tightening and while it goes in with extensions it doesn't seem to screw in far enough to get the ignition coil flush with the motor. I'm afraid of applying more force and cracking the porcelain on the new plugs and I'm worried that the socket might have been cross-threaded. Does anyone have any advice?

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?

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!

Posting this looking for any advice possible during my build. Keeping it vague to allow all tips for anyone building an EJ.

2012 WRX. Ring lands failed on original due to poor oil maintenance, among other issues. Decided to start from scratch OEM+ 257 IAG block. Reusing original D25 heads.

Anyone with experience swapping and new motor management? (First start up and care?)

I'm gonna be swapping my 2002 wrx with an ej207 STI motor and I'm wondering if anyone knows any trusted websites I could buy and ej207 from or and good places I could get one from

I currently have 1mm spacer so I can clear the dust cap and it doesn't rub. I want to remove the 1mm spacer to get better fitment and stop my steering wheel from wobbling when im on the highway. Are there any low profile ones that anyone can recommend? Ive seen a couple but I'm not sure if anyone has run into this issue and can give some suggestions.

Why is truck so big? 🥺

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

So I’m looking into getting a new car as my truck is dying out on me. Originally I was looking into an impala and that’s still my best option right now, but o saw this and not knowing much about cars I need to ask, how’s this look?

Hey guys so I'm about to reach 100k on my 2013 hatch and was planning on doing an oil change, timing belt, and water pump. Anything else I should do and what tools am I going to need? All I've got for tools are what I need for an oil change.

You guys think it worth it trying to fix?

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?

Yo fam. My baby got lifter tick the other night. She’s completely stock. Now I’ve loved the scars forever and I really don’t want to let her go. I was considering getting a fixed and adding some modifications to turn her into a drifter. Is it worth it?

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

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

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

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

2005 wrx knocking/rattling diagnosis
