Yeah tensioner failed. I didn’t realize it was bad

Are you sure it was tensioner that failed? Probably not. It’s the alternator pulley that fails. The pulley is what absorbs the shock. It’s a clutch pulley. Not too expensive or difficult to change.

@bobirving6052 yeah it was the tensioner. Alternator is fine

They are but not by much I don’t think.

Wrong thats the egr ,see the exauhst pipe

You might be thinking of the egr cooler

I’m not sure what brand the headers and down pipe are, but it does have equal length headers, catless down pipe, and an Invidia N1 cat back

@@YoungWRX Cheers thanks she sounds good.

Thanks dude

I daily a blob eye. How do you like the VB? I like the old ones but love the newer tech and comfort in the newer ones. Even considering a VA but I love how the GD drives and feels like an old school muscle car of sorts haha. (Australia 🦘)

@@NathanElcoate Hi Nathan, i am pleased with my new VB Rex it is quieter and rides better than my previous four WRX, although i prefer the smaller size of my previous cars. This car is bigger and dosn't feel as sporty as i'm used to, over all i am enjoying it. I need to like it, as i will never buy a EV 👎 Au

I’ll have to look into one

Not happening 😂 blobeye is my favorite

Thanks dude!

I had to get rid of it plus I like my silver STI one way better

@@YoungWRX fair enough ;)

and in the next 6 years we will lose this fun to electric!

Thanks. I’m enjoying it so far

I love the way they look. It was a pain to fit them up by myself but overall wasn’t terrible. I for the Move Over Racing bumper latches. I like them so far.

@@YoungWRX only thing I would get different is standard width fenders, the thicker ones make it look a bit unbalanced

I’ve had a blob eye before and know quite a few people with em and don’t have many issues. All about how they’re taken care of previously. Thanks I appreciate it!

i hate mine too but 99% of the time the issues were all my fault

​@@YoungWRXAgreed I had my 04 java black STI from 2011 to 2020 until I got rear ended from some bitch who didn't stop going around 50 55 mph while I was stopped at a red light in a construction zone😢 I did put a built motor forged internals when the original motor I knew had problems but got the car for a steal I had bought my new 05 STI in late 2021 found a good deal I couldn't pass for a clean title and no rust clean body with about 110k miles on body the new motor from my old car I swapped and still to this day runs no issues or problems and hasn't had any issues with a little more then 35k miles on it now pushing 450 on pump

I don’t remember having issues on my old wrx but yeah this one was bad. I just put on some carbon fenders hopefully they don’t get destroyed 😂

@@YoungWRX that's what I wanna do and get them paint matched, what fenders did you go with?

I’ve got a video on it as well. They were the seibon carbon fiber fenders. They were kind of a pain to do by myself but I think if you had help it wouldn’t be bad. But they did take a little trimming and such.

Totally agree...i cotta de dent mines soon

@@jonathanlake3366 you poke them wrong and boom dent

So many of them go for over 10k clapped out or just lots of miles or whatever. I got mine for 10 and in my opinion it’s one of the cleaner ones in that price range

@@YoungWRX that's a great price. Congratulations man

@AutoDetailDelaware thank ya

@@YoungWRX yeah - that's a great price. Clean title 04-05 STIs in my area are going for a minimum 15K - and most are modded extensively

@brianstinson7757 I would have loved to find a stock one but they are crazy expensive

😂. Didn’t realize the tensioner was going to seize up on me. Still a bad design.

@@YoungWRX yeah what’s between them ain’t nothing and I don’t care for the tensioner. I have 3 golf’s that I’ve got because of timing belt failure. Bottom end is tough and 2 out of 3 I managed to only replace a few valves , cam,and tappets. Anyway good luck.

Same thing happened to me. Needed new head. 6k later she's back on the road smh

Yeah I know the timing belt is fine the accessorie belt broke and got into the timing belt

Fitment industries they are 18x8.5 I can’t remember the offset right now
