Its likely honestly based on your WOT statement hitting something can for sure cause it and even shifting hard too can cause the sensors to register knock. Are you running an OTS tune too ?

@@matd8958 exactly Cobb tunes are still great !

@@mattmitchell5320 thank you for watching and yes I got tired of people saying cobb tunes blow cars up

@@mikecentuori603 yes I do and thank you for watching. Check out this video -15+ Subaru WRX FBO E85 ruclips.net/video/5lcTYvT05Ps/видео.html

@@thesuzukimethod just want to say I appreciate you and Thank you for this. You perfectly put it better than I could honestly.

​@@TheOBDMafia for sure bro. I've been watching EVs try to creep into the motorcycle world for years. I think EVs work best with boring utilitarian machines like a nissan leaf, where automation is fine because its a grocery getter. or track cars, something like or ariel atom but with replaceable electric motors and easily swappable batteries. Instead what we get is missiles that do 0-60 in 3 seconds with a huge lithium battery as a payload. Made specifically for rich people that cant be bothered to focus on driving.

@@typhoon320i generally its my opinion right or wrong the validation is based on the rationality. You are correct enthusiasts make up a very small percentage of the consumer market. We also dont often buy new cars like you said. All of these are know. This is my are argument as stated in the video as a self proclaimed car enthusiast. Most enthusiast dont at least the ones Know and came across enjoy analog and tactile things “mechanics” Evs are non of those everything is minimalist which doesnt really appeal to the desire to feel connected to the car. This is a very niche topic and niche community. Really not trying to sway anyones mind like I said in the beginning of the video “In my opinion….” Again you are right I m wrong and they dont care. But again thats your opinion and I m okay with it I respect that

Very very interesting perspective thank you so much for watching as well. The instantaneous torque is a difficult match for ICEs. As a daily I feel like I could even a tesla but it feels so muted and too minimalistic maybe it will grow on me as time passes

@@TheOBDMafia Also I'd like to add that newest ice vehicle that I owned was the Subaru which was a 2007, my tundra was a 2003. As for the cars I had access to the s2000 was a 2002 and the Mercedes was a 2015 (it was actually a c450, not 43). I've also spent most of time living in Canada where it snows a decent that has a had a very big influence on vehicle choices and I lived in California for about 3 years which also influenced my vehicle choices. If you look at the years of my ice vehicles you can see that they are kinda old and I believe newer ice vehicles tend to do a worse job of being enthusiast vehicles, they are too heavy, they have too much tech, its almost like they are EVs with gas engines, so i tend to stick with the older ice vehicles. I do believe car enthusiasts can enjoy evs the same way they can enjoy FWD cars and automatic cars, not every enthusiast car needs to be a RWD manual V8. In the long term ICE cars will be like horses or automatic watches, only the very best will be kept around and they will be luxury/enthusiast items. Horses are really only for the race track these days and so will be ICE cars in the future.

Exactly. i do see a trend of these older cars making a solid comeback. Even Subarus have gotten more expensive in the 3rd party and private seller markets. I really dont hate EVs I think fulfill their purpose perfectly. They just don’t cater to the elements that are traditional self proclaimed enthusiast would love and enjoy. A car enthusiasts doesn’t have to be as you said only into RWD cars and i agree. I think the love for cars and car enthusiasts is universal honestly. I love the final statement in your comment horse are for the track and so will the ICEs. Thats how I m feeling to be truthful with you. I appreciate your feedback and for watching the video

100% they are not mutually exclusive not sure if it came across that way… you can be a car enthusiast and love electric cars, but inherently what enthusiast like is the analog tactile feeling of buttons gauges. Very mechanical things which EVs are farm from. Therefore bot really geared towards the “ average enthusiast”

I think its important to talk about why we don’t like something. I dont dislike EVs just would not buy one as my fun daily driver. Driving can be stale especially when you are someone who spends 10-12 hrs commuting each week. Again this is not supposed to be an argument. Its really my opinion and I know you think its stupid and thats okay. Still appreciate your feedback

Not only is that a ridiculous argument, it is a childish mentality. The topic is relevant and as evident in the comments, there is a split in car culture currently. Some believe that the EV is the next evolutionary step for cars and car culture. Others, like myself, believe they are appliances and nothing more. This topic falls into the same type of debates taking place in garages all over the world, supercharger vs turbocharger natural aspiration vs forced induction, electric vs ICE. We care about these things because we are car people. I personally don't like turbochargers. Yeah I know faster, more fuel efficient, turbo noises and all that but to me, nothing beats the scream of a V8 at full throttle. I will argue that until the day I die. That doesn't mean I want a turbo because I will argue against them. That just silly.

@@TheOBDMafia I came at this wrong. When I come across videos similar to this, it is always skewed against attacking the EV industry and not really a conversation starter. Not sure if you changed your title or not but my response was related to how the title was phrased before. I do agree with you on the importance on discussing it, but most come just simply come across as hateful attacks.

@@IHC_23 When the premise is always to attack one side, it doesn't really lead much to a fruitful conversation. Seems I struck an ego lol. No need to respond

@@ernestsco ego has nothing to do with it. Your original comment was silly, not you, your argument. Perhaps I could have worded my response to you better but my point was to highlight that the EV vs ICE debate is no different than the others I mentioned.

Yes the EVs technology is evolving massively especially over the last 5-10 years. Inevitable yes.. there will he a day where only Evs exist. Likely we will be long gone to see that or no. But right now the infrastructure to support the cannot withstand the 93% idk what the infrastructure will look like or what type of power plants will be need to support a whole nation on Evs. Peer pressure is a big hold up but also practicality cant imagine explaining to my parents and grand parent how to update the software on their tesla. There’s a generational gap in technology usage as well. Boomers are not as savvy as our new tik tok generation.

@@TheOBDMafia I doubt it'll ever be only. You still have your classic cars on the road and the switch takes time. That's why I thought equestrian analogy was apropos, Calvary divisions meant horses through 1944. It'll come faster than people think. Almost every person I talk to sub 55 has expressed curiosity towards EVs. The main critique I hear is range and the infrastructure is handled if they can use home wiring, as an EV owner I charge not at home 3-4 times a year. As far as boomers go, the transition isn't automatic but if they did switch, most of them have kids that are adults, the kids set up the Wi-Fi connection and OTAs are automatic. Only reason I'm bullish it's coming fast is the amount of non Tesla companies creating EVs/Hybrids now, including the sports car market. It feels less like 2010 experiments and more like the switch from CD players to entertainment centers.

Evs still require oil changes...

@@jfwalken love your perspective thank you for sharing this. I m really intrigued to see how EVs continue to shape up our way of transportation. Didn’t mean for this video to be taking negatively. But I more so hopping the Ev market gives us more variety and more for the enthusiasts.

@ammonrichards3131 😂and blinker fluid

The chaos and drama is what we want. Life needs to be challenging it gives us purpose. Imagine if we watched a bunch of robots race around a track. Super boring…

Majority car enthusiast don’t want EVs its in the forums its on FB and the market analysis done on whom tends to buy EVs also says alot. Not saying you cant be a car enthusiasts and love EVs. I just dont believe Tesla had the car enthusiast in mind when mass producing a commuter car. No biggie

Cool, but your performance 3 does not have a soul lol

@@andywithout right 🤣

🤣clever one m8

I think a true enthusiast loves and appreciates all cars but EVs are strange in the sense that its a not a driving experience thats engaging. The connection we enthusiast have with the car is developed through that driving experience. The technology in EVs are cool and I really really love hybrids. As an enthusiasts i would follow Hyundai truly think they understand the consumer and enthusiast

I feel the further we push technology the more fragile our society becomes. Not too long ago AT&T was down for a day across the country…. Imagine a server station for autonomous vehicles being highjacked 😬.

Yeah thats ironic and from what I know if you kill gas EVs will be much more expensive too the cost of infrastructure to switch. Its not as seamless as people think.

The chargers can be powered by any source of energy. That’s a _huge_ advantage EVs have over gas cars. It’s as simple as hooking the existing infrastructure up to solar, wind, nuclear, etc. generators when the time comes.

It seems like its still liquid fuel to electricity and thats it, but the benefit it efficiency in this case. Generators are much more efficient as compared to engines/motors. Ideally they would be powered by renewables like solar but thats not always applicable. A good example of this is edison motors where they’re making electric semis/logging trucks that are diesle fueled but electrically powered at the drive train. Energy must come from somewhere and if you can get more out of the base source then other methods like an ICE you arnt necessarily going a to c to b but rather still a to b in a slightly different method.

Yeah i will agree with the convenience and advantage except for the fact that solar farms and wind farms and especially the nuclear have significant impacts on the environment. This is not the lesser of two evils situation based on how EVs are marketed. The amount of apace required for solar farms and wind farms are tremendous and have a huge footprint that imo negate the benefits. Additionally mining lithium is not infinity and also dangerous to the environment and requires a lot more fuel to mine lithium than to make a traditional car.

I probably should have mentioned the negative effects of mining lithium. It’s probably a good case study to quantify vs carbon emissions from ICE.

Evs are becoming popular but sales have slowed significantly. I think only electric is too much of an extreme shift. Hybrid I feel is a more practical and gradual shift. Additionally, to that the performance is there on a Hypercar level as well. I think a gradual shift towards EVs makes more sense.

@@TheOBDMafia Plug in hybrids will be the ones that get everyone comfortable with charging and help build up the infrastructure.

Its a happy medium

@@eyeout thank you so much

Damm thats a good one pretty legendary wish we had these in the states

Ohhh man Norther NY is tough I went to school at Rensselaer and I m from boston really happy i moved to GA honestly. The snow and salt is a massive annoyance for me.

@bradfordsmith3203 both are good but catch cans are better I’ve had both but when you run E85 consistently like I do its better for to run the catch cans. it’s more maintenance but the lines wont get clogged up from the ethanol obsorbing moisture. I mention this in a full video on my channel. Some people prefer the maintenance free.

@@bradfordsmith3203 Awesome AOS was the most beneficial mod I purchased for the car second was tires. Good luck brother

@@bradfordsmith3203 no problem. There is a ton of miss information and people in the forums and FB group just saying random stuff it can be frustrating honestly. Thanks for watching🫡

Curently tuned on Cobb Access port with a pro-tune. Its not possible to go BRZ intake manifold is you wanna stay green speed compliant Imo the best way to make power on these cars is to go rotated with fueling mods fuel pumps and E85. The engines are pretty reliable if you keep up with them. Rods and pistons is all you need and you can make 400-450hp reliably. Anything above that you will be spending considerable money if you haven’t already and it will be difficult to get tuned because you will need a motec ECU and only 3 tuners I know who actually tune motec for these cars

People like me ???? Or the big lifted trucks that always seem to have 10k lemen headlights that a piercing your soul like the second coming of Jesus. They are bright but I made sure to adjust them to not blind anyone

There are plenty of blinding headlights coming straight from factory on those POS SUVs car companies are pushing out. These bulbs aren't going to cause you any distress.

@@Twopointslow yeah man its a great daily love it. Its been 5-6 years and I have no major complaints

I m actually from Boston only been in GA for 2 years. Its bringing back a lot of memories seeing working on my moms car. Yes!!!! a torche would have helped some I should add one to my tool box soon. someone suggested “free all” penetrant not sure if your used this at all. I should also add a lift to my tool box too 😂. Thanks for tuning in brother !

@@TheOBDMafia Nothing is stuck if you turn it into liquid! I'm not familiar with Free All but I have used PB Blaster and BG In-Force.

😂😂 you are right about that

Thank you so much for watching. The new foresters are very very cools. The channel has evolved quite a bit since this video. Recently sold my 02 and I miss it everyday. Fortunately found much cleaner 03 that I will be showcasing soon. But the 1st Gens are timeless. Really love the wilderness trim on the new subarus.

Hey Robert I appreciate you stopping by and watching it really means a-lot to know you keep up with the content. Yeah hard brake lines rusting is a crazy.

Thank you love. Things like this for sure take a lot of perseverance and patients

Its always the last bolt or the easy stuff that ends up taking the longest or being the most difficult. I have to get the car back up on stands again and trace the lines but I wont do until the parts are here. The free all is in my cart right now just forgot to order it. i will need all the help i can get with the next stuff. Thank you so much for spending your time watching the video I really appreciate you.

@@TheLastS209 agreed but frequent DAM drops are not normal. Being protuned wont stop it completely but when it does drop on a pro-tune something is for sure wrong ive been protuned for 5 years dam has only drop 2-3 times and its was an issue. It was 2 boost leaks and spark plugs. Regardless even if DAM does not drop your car can blow up too

Thats very interesting currently at 94k and I haven’t cleaned my valves and I run E70 on a regular. Haven’t ran an OTS map in like 3-4 years and haven’t had many issues. Very interesting that you run ethanol free gas I was told Ethanol help with pre-detonation and knock control. But thats very very interesting to see. Also did you have a Air oil separator? It helps me a-lot what are your thoughts ?

The soaking in penetrant oil is something that does help but unfortunately the issue we ran into was the pitting of the surface which made it coarse I probably spent 3hrs hitting it with my bigger impact and trying a breaker bar. I had let it soak for a whole day and added more penetrant. i had to go to the nuclear option. The other thing thats aggravating is that on the top where the nut is you can only fit a wrench which makes it 1000x harder unless you drop the front subframe. Ive seen 3 of these in my yard in the last month and they are suffered the same fate. I m thinking of sprayings everything with peppermint oil. Hoping thats keeps them away

@@TheOBDMafia peppermint does seem to work surprisingly well for such critters, are you able to fit a breaker bar or cheater tube on your wrench in that tight of a space? if it budged at all then that rocking back and forth (tightening and loosening again, or sometimes tightening it first instead of trying to loosen, so long as you can get it to budge) really helps a ton with working that penetrating fluid in there. though with as bad as those were pitted and/or stripped, for sure there was no reusing those bolts. also, that PB blaster stuff works fairly well, but the best penetrating oil I have ever used was this stuff called "free all" came in a silver can, I tend to have 3 or 4 different types of penetrating oil on hand if one isn't working in a situation, free all seems to work best almost all the time (for me anyways, maybe its placebo idk)

I had 2 style breaker bars one low profile and and that would not work on the top. only on the bottom thats why I was using the wrench I would have needed a big steel pipe to go with the wrench but Unfortunately only had my floor jack bar. The proper way would be to have drop the front sub frame but I m limited with no hoist. I am for sure getting the that Free all stuff i need a better penetrant. Thank you for that. Ps ended the video but I waiting on some more parts ! To continue

@@TheOBDMafia looking forward to the followup video, hopefully the parts come soon, are the correct parts, and that you have no more 8 legged jump scares waiting for you then.

Still waiting on a few specialty bolts and ill be ready to go !

Yeah the design for these is super poor the new one I have don’t need an Allen key

The struggle is real

Nvm the black widow

Alot of Villains in this one

@@joestasi8329 thank you

Thank you for watching brother and thank you. Would love to hear your thoughts as well?

@@TheOBDMafia Honestly I'm just getting back into after a few decades, been to a few "cars and Coffee" meets where everyone stands around the McLaren/Porsche guys talking real-estate while my wife and I are talking to the Datsun 510 guy about the story of his car lol. It's been interesting so far. Almost went to an "event" that turned into a take over (pure crap) so we are being careful about where we go. We used to do our racing out in industrial areas in the dead of night where no one was around but this new stuff is just stupid, not car people just internet clowns.

The car scene is a very polarized space at this moment in time interesting to see the different groups of people. Japan is an example of proper street racing they go to places were no ones is in the dead of night but that code has been lost among enthusiasts glad you are getting back into it there are a few people who still loves and appreciate the simple things. With social media everyone wants to show off now a days.

Yeah I was old enough to remember the some of the cars my dad used to have I remember he used to have an Acura intergra coupe was sad when he got rid of it. I agree if you reason with not just that but anything its easy to let go. I think you said it perfectly the things we make is how we connect with other and that car now connects me with that person and i know they will make great connections from time to come. Really appreciate your comments on this glad to hear from you as always

@@TheOBDMafia yeah man, stay blessed

Likewise brother

Mann I wish i had the money to but the WRX what a relic that was. I have an S10 now not sure if thats the move but it chose me. Something about that forester through was special.

You are correct sir about space I m getting to the point where i need a part time valet. It would be cool to have some resources like these big channels to be able to keep the cars that I fell in-love with. But selling them or giving them away to people in need is fulfilling. Having money (cash) in this economy is important and I am very very excited to get started on that I have a few things i need to clear up in the driveway first. The home improvement stuff is super important as well. Glad you mentioned that. Thanks again for reaching out always great hearing from you man.

There is nothing on them on youtube but its a pretty large community. I really love this car and I would like to keep it as long as I can. Its a very very unique platform and they dont make car like this no more. With just minor mods this car handles better than 90% of car Ive. Seen and been in. AWD and planted to the ground. Keep it alive for us brother. Thank you so much for watching.

Manual wagon with AWD hard to beat that. Hope you find one soon brother. Thanks for watching 🤙🏾

Thank you so much for watching brother. I am glad that this video is helpful I remember us talking about this a while ago since we went on the OTS maps. I hope this solves the issue you are having.
