    better spot lights

    Hella FF1000 or FF700s are hella bright, and not expensive. trouble with HID driving lights is that they are super expensive and prone to damage if you stuff the car, and are a real target for slimy scumbag weasel thieves.

    Is this normal? - 2014 WRX Wheel Concentricity

    There is no "suffering" here. Long-travel strut-type front suspension is what makes a Subie a Subie. The ones that are suffering are the ones who have tight suspension with limited wheel travel, getting bounced around by mean Maine roads.

    Is this normal? - 2014 WRX Wheel Concentricity

    Wheel travel in the Impreza is not straight up and down, it's at a slight angle, which is why wheel is not perfectly centered at normal ride height. This long-travel suspension is what makes a Subie good on bad roads, if you lower the car to center the wheel you lose a lot of ability to deal...

    White smoke coming from turbo area!

    if the smoke is white and smells sweet like candy, it's coolant. oil smoke is greyish and just smells like burnt oil.

    Turbo Restrictor...Retune Required?

    Fit the restrictor, do a test drive and then I think you'll see you DO want a retune. That friggin restrictor opening is about the size of a ping-pong ball. Hint hint. We run a restrictor in the Last Ditch Racing STI rally car, and the car's tune very much favors low-end torque. Because of the...

    Octane might be least of your probs. Beware unseen speed cameras in the little towns along 107. Limits posted in kmh, those cameras can add significant expense to your trip. Dont ask how I know.

    fb owners weigh in plz

    One big prob with a company vehicle is that so many different peeps drive it and "care for" it. Nobody is really paying attention fully, they just grandma about giving up the car so it can get an oil change or get snow tires mounted or what ever. As for the shop badly underfilling it, that's just...

    Update on our company '14 Foz and its oil issues: evidently it was underfilled @ local independent shop, that's why oil light came on. Then it was overfilled by at least 2 quts. Went back to dealer for oil consumption check, no issues detected. Now about 2k miles with no change in oil level...

    Best place to have a tire studded, mounted & balanced?

    Tire Rack has a list of "Approved Installers" who have no bullsheet policies like that Town Fair Tire place. If the Tire Rack list saves you just one instance of running into that 'we won't work on stuff we didn't sell' silliness, it's well worth the effort.

    Have taught @ O'Neils' since 2002. Been trying to get MS members to go since the club got started back in 2008. Despite significant discounts being offered and lots of work by a couple of MS members, the club has simply not stepped up to support the program and invest in improving their driving...
