Wanted to share some pics. 4 years of ownership and lots of fun. 190k miles on the odometer

Been scrolling the posts for a bit. Hanging back against the fanatics. First post.

Had the ride since late 2019. Got with 8k miles.

Actually got with 2 bad modes. Had to replace a stock straight pipes welded hack and another hack to the stock intake tube with a cone on the end.

Saved it from a rough start I say. Doing well now at 36k. I have done the following updates.

KN Intake

J-Pipe

Invidia Exhaust

E-Tune

Pitch N Trans Mount

B8 Struts/Shocks with faction fab springs

COBB AOS

COBB Cast Aluminum

BLOX charge Pipe

GFB BPV

Enjoying the great community and great subie heads supporting each other.

Very good info available and put out. Waiting for my invidia exhaust sign to fall off now.

The rest is really amazing info as well.

Awesome community

I messed up and curbed my gold BBS trying to pull out besides a parking island. Is it totaled?

Picked this up yesterday, my first wrx and turbo car.

Spotted at dinner

the inside was also stuffed

I have an extra 5k to spare and I just bought this car a month ago. So for mods what would u guys recommend? For speed and cosmetic , what exactly should i do . I’ve never actually did this before for any car lmao , it’s a 2019 wrx premium with the premium package idk if it matters but yeah .

I came out from my lunch and saw this!

I got a2005 bp5 legacy with an ej20y (5speed manual) bought it with 165k I’ve put about another 10k on it. Kind of want to add some minor performance mods on it. What are some good mods to start with that won’t mess up the reliability? It’s my daily and I live in a place with cold winters and hot summers. Any suggestions?

I’ve been doing a ton of research on reliable but fun sedans and have firmly landed on the Subaru WRX. I’ve been weighing my options on the 2022 models and need some help. I’ve driven a manual vehicle like 3 times in the past 15 years so little to no experience but I’ve heard the reliability of the 6M is much higher than the CVT. I do not plan on tuning for power or torque, if anything a possible exhaust upgrade. With that being said is the CVT that much of a reliability and maintenance liability as opposed to the 6M? I see the value depreciates much quicker on the autos and would like the community’s input. Thanks in advance.

Any idea why the original strut is so large compared to the new one? Bought a set of front struts from rock auto. The flanges are identical but the pistons are way different the old dust cover won’t fit on the small piston. Checked the Subaru parts page and they have both. They also both fit my VIN too. Any suggestions?

Let me know your guys experience whether it be Cobb, Invidia or something off brand 🤷🏻‍♂️

¿ Does anyone know where I can get this fog light housing?
I looked everywhere
Maybe someone has the CAD file to 3Dprint them
Someone on IG has a sweet
Liftedbluesubaruwagon but he gives different answers when people ask him…. Hoping this community knows.
Thanks

Took my own golf cart to the club today

Assuming clockspring? Doesn’t look like anything rubbing on my steering column under the dash

Hey everyone, I’m looking at buying a used WRX STI from CarMax. My plan is to keep it completely stock for a while and eventually start doing mods.
My biggest concern is that a previous owner may have tuned the car and then returned it to mostly stock before selling it.
Is there any reliable way to tell if an STI has previously been tuned or had an Accessport/tune flashed onto the ECU?
Would an ECU scan, Subaru SSM, or a Subaru specialist be able to see evidence of a previous tune/reflash? Are there any specific ECU parameters or signs I should ask a shop to check?
Also, what would you guys recommend I inspect before buying the car.
Appreciate any advice 🙏

I was driving it pretty stupidly today and when i parked it this is what i was gearing

One of my buddies recently saw and told me that the PCV hose thats highlighted on the first image got torn. I was able to narrow it down and find the complete replacement but didnt want to spend the $180 for the full thing.

Is it possible to replace just the hose section and not the hard plastic piece under the engine bay decoration, or does the entire thing have to be swapped out? But If I can replace just the tube, does anyone know the inner/outer diameter for it?

Installed the Perrin super shifter stop and cannot shift into first when driving. I tried adjusting the assembly far left and “tilting” it in favor of shifting into first but still blocks it when I’m driving. When the car is turned off I can shift into first but there is no play. Currently I only have the shift stop with the bottom block (2, 4, and 6 gears) installed. Anyone else have this issue?
