Thanks, just grabbed me a 22’ wrx premium certified at 18k miles. Totally noob in tuning. I wanna do a wing and some simple exterior modifications. Love the ideas you present with companies. Till next time, cheers 🍻 ✌️🫡
I met you at Subie SoCal this year. Just about as nice as someone could be. Been wondering where the uploads have been, but hope you've been good and handle what you gotta.
Man, thanks for everything you do, seems like you are one of the few people still doing anything with the VB WRX. I feel like this Chassis has so much potential, seems like the FA24 is better in a lot of ways, we just need to see more adoption of the FA. Do you think the Subaru community will ever adopt the FA24 as like "THE" performance block option? are there downsides to this platform that im not seeing?
Hey Awais! Love the video and love seeing you live out your dreams. change is always hard and intimidating. keep your head up. and "if in doubt, flat out"
I really like how much you drive your VB in so many different environments. I have not seen anyone on YT do what your doing with the WRX VB. For that I salute you Sir. Im interested to watch your review on the Perrin Sterring Lock Down kit if you decide to install one. I'm considering it for my car as well.
I've also had the trunk issue from time to time. I don't get it as frequently. I usually close from the center. I installed the Perrin Trunk handle, which definitely helps
really great video. good to hear that the car wont break even after you beat it like that lol. This is my first subie(etuned by dmann 93 oct with perrin intake 320whp) and I've heard terrible stories abt blown gaskets/ how unreliable subies are...so I really take care of it, I don't go above 3k, no boost till oil temp hits 190, oil change every 2k, I barely redline it, barely any spirit driving(avg mpg is 25) all cuz I'm too afraid that it's gonna break. But this video has made me feel safer about slightly abusing this car lol
About the clicking. I have a 2024 WRX premium I bought July of this year. Occasionally have that clicking since day one. I noticed it does it almost every time I’m setting up to back in park. Took the car in for service and mentioned that to the service advisor. They inspected the vehicle and had a tech go on a test drive with me. He said that’s normal in WRX. according to the tech is the brake pads adjusting. I thought it was BS, but he was able to recreate the clicking after hard breaking going forward then backing up. Same thing hard breaking in reverse then going forward.
Great to hear, you are the pathfinder! My kids are 13-22, so I don't have the interior abuse anymore. I always try to watch every minute of your videos, but do admit to quickly scrubbing through to find about the transmission/clutch. Good to hear I'm good to at least 50k. I don't launch at all, and I baby it (relatively) to the 1-2 shift. Then I have my fun on the windy country roads around here. I'm at ETS intake, DM E30 tune, Perrin pitch stop, STi short shift, AWE Touring exhaust, and a Mishimoto catch can. I run 5W-30, and use the Liquid Moly Molygen, it is literally GREEN. I couple that with their MoS2 anti-friction treatment. Let us know when you head North East!
@@Kopernicus67 haha pathfinder! That's a good one 😂. That's good the kids are older they don't abuse the interior as much. I don't mind you scrubbing as long as you find it useful! That's the #1 goal. 🤘
AWAIS YOU GOT THAT ROCK STAR HAIR BRO..WISH MY HAIR LOOKED THAT GOOD GROWN OUT..HIGH FADE GAIN FOR NOW...STILL CURIOUS TO HEAR YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THAT CAT..THINK U SAID IT WAS INVIDIA 400..AND CODES ??
Get out of your funk ! I miss great VB content. Good to seeya back. I'm going to install my J-Pipe and headers this weekend. Wish me luck. I did perchance new studs and bolts just in case.
@@chewy6367 oof my man, I don't enjoy the jpipe haha. I have to do my headers soon too. However with how little you've driven and with PB blast I think You'll be ok.
A few months ago I drove my vb from California to Florida. I agree about the seats, I have base model but it was a great drive without any issues. I'll be hitting you up about information on sourcing and STI transmission for me at some point lol
@@MarcoAntonio-pn9mv dang dude now that's a drive. I've done STL to Orlando and back twice now. I could use better seats 😂. I'm sure I can help you find a transmission.
My '22 Limited is also running fine. Only issue is the loading time for the radio when I first fire up the engine. Can take up to 5 min sometimes for Sirius to load. Not a show stopper, but irritating.
90k on my 22 all stock with weird tick noise coming from I think is the clutch still in the process of diagnosis… had some subi techs looking at it and can’t figure it out but motor is healthy and still runs strong. Praying I can diagnose this noise
I'm very curious if you have done any intake valve cleaning yet? My 22 WRX is coming up on 25k miles in the summer and im wondering when it might be the right time. All of the Subaru docs I've read about regular maintenance doesn't seem to list the intake valve cleaning. I do run an AOS with stage one mods at about 350 hp. i dont know if that matters or not.
I haven't done any cleaning yet. My plan is to do a full engine assessment in 2025. I actually want to remove the engine, give it the full check over , clean up, then out it back in the car.
Hey man! Good to see an update from ya! I have a 93 tune from Graham and more and more I feel like I'm observing the car decelerate immediately if I lift my foot even a millimeter. It takes the utmost focus and precision to prevent the car form bucking for my passengers and I think this might just be a problem with the higher HP and torque (330 HP/350 hp now). Did you experience this as well? I know most folks say the tunes from Dmann and Graham are smooth but I don't know if they're talking about another portion of the driving experience, cause I think deceleration touchyness has really transformed the drive. I do have a Group N pitch stop, Group N trans mount, whiteline trans mount bushings, and Super Pro rear differential carrier bushings. I've pretty much gotten all the mounting upgrades one can get except the Cusco rear diff carrier!
Yea actually my car has always done that. I think it's just the way the car I utstes vacuum after letting go of the throttle. It's definitely something I can ask and find out more about because it can be pretty ubrupt.
@ Cool thanks for the feedback! I mean definitely if you're talking to them. I can't think of how else they can smooth out the car unless they really lower the power in 1st and 2nd gear, which is where this happens the most. I know its kinda obvious for those gears to be the most torque-y but gosh, it really makes me look like a terrible manual driver. Totally different' from my grandma's manual back in the day!! I don't know if this is just an inherent unavoidable trait of any higher torque manual car. Its pretty hard to shift smooth and or decelerate smooth.
@@KuyaPow626 dude 1st gear is so short there's almost nothing you can really do. I think the pitch stop helps a little bit with that but it's still jerky AF. Best to get out of 1st asap 😂
@ True! I'm just trying to impress my misses driving smooth but I still feel like a straightup hoon because of my 1000 rpm cold start idle. Graham told me it'll always be a bit rough, as a downside for his cold start reduction, because the engine is fighting between my throttle input request and bouncing back to the 1000 rpm warmup compared to the original 1700 rpm. Oh well. But yeah its still problematic even through 2nd and 3rd gear when letting off throttle. Actually, I pay attention to it even while highway cruising now that I'm protuned - I just notice all the time, the car isn't laid back anymore, it always feels on edge. Its kinda what I wanted I guess by throwing all these upgraded mounts on it, stiffening up everything.
Hey brother, sorry I never got back to you via email but would love to connect with you again. Gonna be filming a 3 month review tomorrow and how I managed to get the deal I did with so many hidden mods that I’m still finding out about, and what I’ve done so far, and finally got a better camera 😂
Idk if the tires clicking is the same issue I have? If im in park and I put into 1st and turn sharp I get jolting and noises from the tires as if it’s fighting for traction or something. Very odd
your shift issue when down shifting from 6 to 5 could be clutch related and not transmission related, i had a va wrx that did this and i thought it was the tranny and took it to the specialist and they found it was the clutch
I’d say honestly it depends on the driver, if you treat it like a race car it will break like a race car. In stock form they are intended to last 150-200k miles adding power depending on how much starts decreasing that a bit.
Hey Awais, did you do your diff fluid and trans fluid change? If you have what miles were you at? What do you recommend for general maintenance scheduling?
Idk if I should get a 2021, or a 2023 WRX. Both would be 20k miles or less. Any advice? Only reason I’d get the 2021, is because I prefer the look and it’s a bit less money. And that’d go straight into suspension.
@@IXN1996 honestly if you are going to track it the STI would be better out of the box. It depends on what you want to do with it, honestly. WRX is the better daily but with a handful of mods it exceeds the STI.
@HeavyMetalWRX That would be a nice video. Yeah, makes me wonder how those intake valves would look like after 50K miles. We will be waiting for that video. Thanks again for the response.
@ that is very interesting 🤣. I see a lot of people who complain about oil consumption and I be thinking it’s because their rings didn’t seat properly. I just wanna break mine in the best way when I get it
I had my clutch replaced at like 11 or 13k early something wasn’t right with response, now I’m at 17-18k and it’s back again same issues. Think when someone rear ended me right after I bought it it messed something up in there, everyday I think about selling it now for a Supra. sucks I really love the car especially tuned now a lot of fun and the only awd option, but my transmission issues that’s like #1 if it feels like crap on manual it’s not a good experience to drive 😢
I have a 2023 manual Supra and 2 STI trans FA WRXs, save the money and STI swap your WRX haha. They're more fun to drive than the Supra (though they may not be as "cool").
@richilg1 that’s the original thought a year ago but the amount to buy/install a sti trans I could just toss on top of this paid off wrx for a “better” car lol. Still can’t decide but it’s been on my mind for sure 🤣
@@liltorbsall depends on what you want to do with the car. Both my WRXs see the dirt almost every weekend, they get launched out there a lot haha. I think that STI trans cost is justified for what I do with it. But if it was stricly a road toy (without a built engine), I agree the Supra might be better, even if it's a liiiiiittle less practical.
BRO SERIOUSLY THE SEATS SUCK...I TRIED TO GET A LIMITED BUT WOULD OF HAD TO DRIVE OVER 1000K AND KIND OF BOUGHT THE VB ON A WHIM..IM SUPER HAPPY WITH THE CAR BUT IM A GYM FANATIC AND THESE SEATS DONT FIT MY STRANGE BODY TYPE FOR LONGER THAN SHORT TRIPS..MY GIRLS CROSSTREK SEATS ARE FRKN COMFY I KNOW THAT..WE NEED A OEM+ (LIMITED/GT-LIKE) SEAT OPTIONS !!

@@jamisonsanchez221 thank you! I am not sure I got it.
Have you done anything for Carbon Build up Cleaning?
@@bmanboogie not yet. I plan on opening the engine next year to see what the deal is.
@HeavyMetalWRX That would be a nice video. Yeah, makes me wonder how those intake valves would look like after 50K miles. We will be waiting for that video. Thanks again for the response.
What tire are you running and what size is it ? I have 22 VB in white as well I lm thinking of doing something very similar too yours
Here I am 17x7.5 with 235/55/17. I would suggest going 215 on a 7.5 honestly, the 235 is too wide imo.
@ thank you
The real question is, how would you say you broke your car in when you bought it ?
@@tunerlifestyle barely. I started flooring it at 250 miles. I broke it in rough 😂
@ that is very interesting 🤣. I see a lot of people who complain about oil consumption and I be thinking it’s because their rings didn’t seat properly. I just wanna break mine in the best way when I get it
@tunerlifestyle I mean, it's a Subaru. Eventually it's gonna leak from somewhere lol
@ you right 😂
I had my clutch replaced at like 11 or 13k early something wasn’t right with response, now I’m at 17-18k and it’s back again same issues. Think when someone rear ended me right after I bought it it messed something up in there, everyday I think about selling it now for a Supra. sucks I really love the car especially tuned now a lot of fun and the only awd option, but my transmission issues that’s like #1 if it feels like crap on manual it’s not a good experience to drive 😢
I have a 2023 manual Supra and 2 STI trans FA WRXs, save the money and STI swap your WRX haha. They're more fun to drive than the Supra (though they may not be as "cool").
@richilg1 that’s the original thought a year ago but the amount to buy/install a sti trans I could just toss on top of this paid off wrx for a “better” car lol. Still can’t decide but it’s been on my mind for sure 🤣
@@liltorbsall depends on what you want to do with the car. Both my WRXs see the dirt almost every weekend, they get launched out there a lot haha. I think that STI trans cost is justified for what I do with it. But if it was stricly a road toy (without a built engine), I agree the Supra might be better, even if it's a liiiiiittle less practical.
Shoutout to Mick Gordon 😂
What wheels/specs
17x7.5 sparco terras / Falken Wildpeaks 235/55/17. I would recommend 215 as the 235 are too wide imo. That's something I would change next time.
YO NO FREAKING WAY. You got it on October 6th?!?! That’s the day I picked up my TR this year!!! I knew I liked you. But now it’s love ❤ 😂
dang... I have 49540 miles on my 18 Crosstrek
You're almost there!
BRO SERIOUSLY THE SEATS SUCK...I TRIED TO GET A LIMITED BUT WOULD OF HAD TO DRIVE OVER 1000K AND KIND OF BOUGHT THE VB ON A WHIM..IM SUPER HAPPY WITH THE CAR BUT IM A GYM FANATIC AND THESE SEATS DONT FIT MY STRANGE BODY TYPE FOR LONGER THAN SHORT TRIPS..MY GIRLS CROSSTREK SEATS ARE FRKN COMFY I KNOW THAT..WE NEED A OEM+ (LIMITED/GT-LIKE) SEAT OPTIONS !!
Tman is in office bro we all good just buy crypto
Born this way?
🫡
Hate to say this but car looks hideous specifically yours bro 🥲
Haha well that may be true for some but you'll never forget it and recognize it immediately. That was the goal, for now.
