Absolute gem of a car!! I have come a full circle from my first car, a 1969 VW van with a flat 4, a couple of V-8s, a V-6 and now back to the flat 4 in my WRX.
I tried to convince myself that i didn't like the window visors but i caved in after 2 years haha. I actually get a lot of compliments from non car people because of how well they fit
Good video and good message! Still loving my FA20DIT. I consider the window visors necessary on this car because otherwise if you are driving with the window open and wash your windshield, the wipers wipe that water/methanol right towards the driver window!
Thanks man 🙏! Definitely would have kept them on if I took advantage of their purpose! I regretted removing them after the first one since it literally wouldn’t budge haha.
Big sf = big regret. The fact that it’s so hard to keep the filter exactly 1” over the pipe has been such a pain for maintenance. Then the car falls flat on its face when it’s off just by a little.
Hey big dawg it is called growing into your build, and I hate to say it man but age has something to do with it cause you start to really figure out what you want. Also... who cares what anyone else says it only matters what you think cause you drive it and it is your escape from the world! Your car is really clean brother keep doing what you are doing!
Well said! Yup, I feel like it’s constantly evolving which makes it fun altogether. The day I stop enjoying the process is the day I have a problem. Thank you man! 🙏
That AP mount is probably more safe for flashing compared to the mounts where you don’t physically plug in the cable. Don’t want to have a loose connection and brick the ecu.
i wound up returning my cobb intake 2x because of a bent pipe on the end, eventually they made right and replaced. hope it holds up. thanks for making the video nice job!
thanks for the wisdom from your experience. with window visors, my main use for them is if i hit the windshield wash and forget my window is down (but i bought the ones you tape on without brackets). me personally i found out about the snorkel after i had already bought the grimmspeed hella horn kit and now use that bracket, along with my stock horns and a 12v power supply on my tool box/cart to scare people/make them move out of the way in the shop i work in
Are those front visibility windows tinted? If not, you can go with a dark 🌑 tint, even limo tint if you want it really dark, for that black look but still see thru it.
I like the looks of the Subaru OEM window visors. But man they sure are noisy at speed. Anything over 20mph and it sounds like you are in a wind tunnel. I have debated taking mine off but like you, my window surround and trim is scratched. I'll probably just leave them on.
100 percent i hate window visors, instantly make the car look cheap and immature. glad u took em off. same with those window blockers lol, tacked on plastic anything is a no go, good rule of thumb lol. btw is that an oil filter cozy?
Thanks for noticing! It’s an oil filter cover from Perrin. Here’s the video I made on it!: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rQ7ksYREAaw.html
Hi Ron Would you pls let me know what Brand name of your rims on your 2018 WRax STI .. .. Love those rims look very different very unique.. Thank you so much Ron
Maybe it’s not so much “progression” but rather “maturity”. It doesn’t necessarily mean you leave certain mods behinds because they’re tacky or being offensive it just means your taste changes your preference demands more from certain items. It’s an image not so much a lifestyle any more if that makes sense. Not to bash on anyone or any brands or what not just a different opinion.
I'm looking for a sail panel piece to reduce wind turbulence front the door-mounted mirror. I know the Mk5 Supra and 911 have products to do this, but ALL Subarus can benefit from the having something push air around the mirror and keep it out of the gap btwn the mirror cap and glass. Thoughts?
@@ronfromportland...neither have I, that's why I asked. I have seen stick-on vortex generators (pk of 15 at Autozone, in paintable white) and thought about painting 2 black and then affixing them to the sail panel in such a way to direct air around the mirror. Happy Thanksgiving.
Hey Ron. Much respect for you and your ride. What mount is that? I’m looking to ditch my printed one since the fitment is poor. Sucks about the delete crack down, hope it doesn’t interfere when I need to figure out why mine isn’t running right. Do you get the little rattle sound at startup without TGVs, too?
Thanks man, I appreciate that! I don’t think I have that rattle sound but I’ll listen the next time I start up. Here’s the link to the AccessPort mount video!ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CeSJPTSm0LI.html
Basically the same steps as cleaning the MAF sensor. Here’s the video I did on it, I hope it helps!: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pmS5WlX6MaU.html
Would u be willing to sell the grimspeed intake..I just recently bought a 21 wrx and have to start my build all over again from the last vehicle so I would buy that GS intake..I had the cobb 1 on my last car and I was 1 of the unfortunate people who couldn't get the afr ratios to work
I use CRC MAF Sensor cleaner for both sensors. If I don’t clean them for months, AF Learning tends to spike to ~-18. Intake filter placement also has a factor in this if you are running an aftermarket one, it has to be on there perfectly for the car to be happy. I knew something was wrong though when the AFR values wouldn’t go down to normal range after cleaning the sensors. Here’s a video I made on that specific issue: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lDGN-05stKs.html
Yah those wheels are ugly in my opinion,same as the window visors..but to each their own..ride height is good tho.. Btw, I have the Cobb intake. Did u make sure to take off the stock intake bracket that holds up the stock intake tube. It hits the pipe and can cause a hole. I had problems like u until I took that off
@@ronfromportland no problem man..I like ur videos just an honest guy doing mods and figuring what he likes..I’ve been doing the same and just troubleshooting I am no pro.. The Cobb intake: per their instructions, they say it’s optional and so I just left it on..I had the intake and didn’t notice that till like 8 months later. Was causing me hell.. good luck man
Thanks man! Troubleshooting is all we can do. I know Cobb updated the bracket at some point so my instructions most likely are different from yours. Glad you got it sorted out, this stuff can make you go crazy I tell ya. Mine has been good for the most part…after finding that the end of the tube connecting to the inlet was bent.
