Finally copped the car I've had my eye on forever!

Chill Phil · 03-16-2018, 06:44 PM

The Scion was stressing me out. Started getting funky with the gas mileage. It claimed 31 mpg highway but I was getting like 23.5 mpg.

Anyways, I've been able to save a good amount of money living and working out here. So, I dropped 2 grand on a 2018 Subaru WRX. Not the STI though, the gas mileage on that is terrible. But it only had 31 miles on the engine, got a white joint, 6 speed manual, fun little car when that turbo starts spooling up.

Might crack a beer and smoke a cigarette while sitting Indian style on the roof.

WRX has 268 horsepower

The WRX STI has 305 horsepower

The gas mileage is the determining factor for something I'm gonna be driving 70 miles 4 days a week, fam.

Stock yes, mine isn't stock lol.

You have to have some type of knowledge to fuck with it bro, clearly he has none but word.

Stage 1 tune will be all you need. Not the typical "commuter" vehicle but have fun man. You'll love it, I promise. They are also beast in the snow.

True but we are talking about Phil, here lolol.

He's better off leaving it stock considering he already copped the wrong type of vehicle for the commute lol.

I copped it for the long snowy/icy winters on top of the commute.

A few weekends ago an 18 wheeler ran me off the road. It was 4 am, and the city only plowed one lane. I pulled up behind someone going slow, so I slowed down. Then an 18 wheeler pulled up behind us and then switched over to the snow covered lane and blinded is with all the snow it kicked up. In the total white out I pumped the brakes and slid off the road. And almost went all the way into a ditch.

Like I said, I've wanted a WRX forever...and it has better gas mileage than the Scion I had. So it's a win.

I'm not gonna fuck with anything, just gonna baby the fuck out of the car and get 300k miles out of it.

Boxer engine bruuuuuh

Yo, I'm stumped bro...

My shit idlng rough... Just rebuild the entire intake system/manifold and intercooler system with rerouted hardware. Replaced all my upstream o2 sensors, with brand new ported and polished head, new down pipe and new spark plugs and all....

Only thing I can think of is a vacuum leak somewhere? Is that accurate?

Thanks fella. I've got money left over, I've been planning/saving since I've been here.

Geno · 03-18-2018, 02:00 AM

What year is it. Hope you didnt go lower than 09. Keep up on ur coolant. That headgasket issue is notorious.. Took my legacy out of commision.

Dope car though. Ive always wanted one. Newer than 09 of course. Theyve fixed the issue with the electric system electrically charging the coolant and causing it to break down the head gaskets since then. Knew about it for a decade though. Smh

1. "Poor man's STI" is the shittiest sentence in Netcees history. Phil has been our struggle boy since before you were here. Then he makes a topic about buying a car he wants and Amen is the fucking Seadadmobile expert because of course and of course he got the poor person version lol wtf why don't you just have OSHAAAAA money wherein you can buy SPOILERZ and dragon boosters to get that 2 extra MPG and also did you know my sons are Floyd Mayweather Jr who is UNDEFEATED therefore I've never lost an argument ALSO ALLEN KNIGHT ARENT YOU IMPRESSED BY MY QUESTIONS
