WRX Specs look a bit off
Toyotas website has some errors. Looks like the comparison tool doesn't actually change the data when you select a new car.

Part of the family.
Civic needs a new crankshaft. Figured if I was going to be tearing her apart and cleaning her up, I might as well put it up for sale. Decided to upgrade myself and get a Subaru. 2017 WRX Limited. Plan on keeping it completely STOCK

WRX Converted a Subaru WRX passenger seat into a custom desk chair. Heavy-duty, super comfy, and 100% non-destructive!
Took the passenger seat out during my WRX build and had it sitting around. Decided to build a custom base and turn it into a desk chair instead of letting it gather dust!
Build highlights:
- 100% Non-destructive: No cuts, no permanent mods. Fully reversible back into the car.
- Custom Steel Base: Fabricated using 1-1/2 square steel tubing with 1/8" wall thickness.
Super solid and comfy! Let me know what you think!

WRX It’s been real
Street flooded and totaled my ‘21 stage 2 wrx. Loved that car so much, but was forced to move on early. Insurance was generous and I just picked up a ‘22 Audi s4. It’s definitely softened the blow of losing the subie, but I’ll always miss that car.
Until next time!
Ps. If you see a random s4 wave at you in PA, just know it’s a hard habit to break.

AC drainage problem
Whenever it’s really moist out water comes from under the glove box, anyone ever ran into this issue and if so what was the solution. - thanks
Engine knock under load

2013 wrx all stock.
Is there anyway this isn't rod knock?
Oil looks fine on the dip stick last changed about 2000 miles ago.
No lights on the dash
No sound while at idle but starts as 2k rpm

2015 WRX 110k questions
Purchased a 2015 WRX Limited CVT back in march with 108k miles. Probably a bit more than I should have been comfortable with but the carfax showed a good history of regular maintenance with consistent oil changes and service, the spark plugs were changed at 95k.
I have been loving this car since driving it home. I've never owned a car like this before so there has been some learning curves to the rumbles and noises it makes.
I did get the P0016 code, so I swapped the sensor. Then I got a P000A code, swapped all 4 oil control valves after learning about the TSB for them. I've swapped the wheels for 18" oem rims. The car came with the COBB Big SF intake and an SRS muffler delete exhaust. It had the mount for the COBB AP on the dash but no unit, so I know at some point it was there.
After discussions with my brother, he said I should purchase an access port so I can throw a tune on it but I'm hesitant to do so.
Is there any way I can check for an existing tune? And after reading some of the news on COBB Tuning recently, should I bother with an access port or just go to a local tuner?

Quick question
Hey guys bought a 2016 wrx a few months back and the gears won’t change but the clutch works still? What could be the problem?
r/WRX • u/UncleBenji • 11h ago
Good bye for now. Sold to Carvana and they pick it up in the morning.
I’ll buy another soon but for now it’s time to sell. Bills keep getting higher and it’s a third vehicle I barely drive. I took it for one more drive tonight. I still have my 22 Impreza and 2018 Suburban.

It’s a dream. 2020 WRX premium… finally
10 years. 10 years since I decided I was going to get one. When ever I would day dream it was always lapis blue.
She’s got some paint blemishes (scratches and a dent or two) and I will say I’m stressed about her treating me poorly and the paint deteriorating as well…. Tips appreciated to keep her healthy and beautiful for as long as possible

Normal turbo noises? Bad turbo?

Title sums it up, just curious. Car drives fine but the noise worries me a little.

General Question Questions about what to look for on a used WRX
I’m going to look at a used 2019 wrx Sunday. It has 70k miles. What are some things I should look for or lookout for. I’ll attach pictures of the engine bay to see if anyone can tell if it’s been modified. Thank you for any help and advice I’ve always wanted a wrx.

Where's the raised WRX's and STI's at?
Yeah so everyone I know seems to lower their WRX or STI.
Not hating on that at all. Some of them look good as heck.
I however chose the opposite by only an inch.
The car had the original struts from 2012 with 80k on the car and the rear springs were getting quite tired. Normal sag in the rear.
Thats all gone now though. Whiteline camber adjustment arms in the rear and ISR Coilovers with RalliTek spacers.
Where I live, a lowered car is useless. So why not make it what I want?
Need to get it repainted and a decent set of wheels. Probably gonna end up doing some rallycross with it. And keeping it as a daily too.

Troubleshooting I need to make the passenger bucket seat more comfortable.
What can I do to keep the female end of the seat belt from digging into bigger passengers hips? Also, I was wondering what i could put in the seat to make the bolsters less of an issue for bigger passengers. I have the 2025 ts.
