It feels good to be driving another GD again. Even with this one still being a little rough around the edges right now it feels at home. Now that we finally have this thing running problem-free; we can start getting some data logs for Mr. Bader Built to prep this thing to be sent to the moon in a few weeks.

10 year GD owner here, the newer STI's are nice but I like the lighter and smaller boxy body better. Only way I'd get rid of my mine would be if the opportunity to buy a rust free one comes up.

I had my GD for 15 yrs, now my VA for around 6 years. But I went WRX to STi. It's hard to be better than the VA STi is right out of the box, and I've driven every wrx iteration there has been minus the new VB.

I took the #2 Bluebaru in Friday morning, I'm in a Subie Ascent loaner. A catalytic converter internal failure @62K. Subaru covered the part. You ever seen a catalytic converter failure that early? Have a great week brother. Subies forever.

To wash you car when it's that cold this is what you need: - Electric Powerwasher (Stihl makes a couple nice ones) - Warm Water (not hot) spigot/sink access. - A good waterproof/resistant duck suit and dishwashing gloves - wash mitt - 2x chamois cloth for drying quickly. 1 for outside, and 1 for jams/wheels Now you can pull a car to the side of your garage (try to not ice your driveway) and give it a thorough rinse. 99% of dirt and grime can be wiped off with just warm water and agitation with the wash mitt, no need for suds (commonly misused and quickly destroys wax/protection for paint). It's almost a necessity if you want to not have a perpetually salted car in the midwest. The only guys I know that do this are also the same guys that sometimes get MORE for the cars upon resale because they are showroom perfect. So it's a matter of OCD level, but I've given ya the method.

I don't like those car washes as much as anyone else that really cares about their paint, but my friend's the location manager at one literally 1 minute up the road from where I live. Unfortunately I can't take my car through it because of how low the chassis braces sit in combination with it being slammed. He does the homie hookup though, and he's really into detailing. My old man got a suspiciously cheap 14 Outback earlier this week that kinda sounds like it checks out from how he described it, but I know little about it and he won't pick it up till Sat. It's also good he bought it when he did on Mon, cause apparently the trans in his truck started slipping bad this morning, a new issue on top of the variety of other reasons he was told to sell it last month. It's tough to say with him cause he's got about a 50/50 lemon record, I'll have to see it for myself but it's currently colder than a witch's tit this week so... might take a warm day to really look at it. Anything notable to look out for with those specifically?

06 STi owner checking in… 160k miles original owner, very similar to your mileage. Love the car still. Lots of creaks and noises but it is part of the charm. Paint on roof and hood scoop is peeling off :( It is burning 1 qt per 1k miles with blow-by though, so probably will get a new short block at some point. Only way I would trade this is maybe for a similar condition 05 STi or one of the special JDM versions :)

Could you maybe do a vid discussing that storage unit. Do you own it? Is it just a regular storage unit or is it offered as a “garage” with the lift and everything? Also if you do own the lift, where do you recommend buying one.

hey tanner! still having that issue with not being able to maintain fuel pressure under boost after relocating the battery and adding a radium surge tank. the o rings are seated on the pumps; we haven’t been able to diagnose the issue since November 2022 and i was hoping maybe we could touch base and try to get to the bottom of this! we met by the la fitness a while back, i had the Hawkeye with process west intake & rotated set up

Oh yeahhhhh I remember! What’s your fuel pressure dropping down to under boost? I’m assuming you’ve got a gauge or sensor to be able to monitor while driving?

Hey tanner and folks! I have this quite strange problem with my sti swapped 03 forester and could really use some help. So my front left and rear right tires go stuck every once in a while. The car has torsen r180 locked diff and dccd controller. When I try to rock it forwards and backwards I can only get it to move under hard throttle. I’m assuming either tyre could be stuck and it’s affecting the other tyre aswell? I have just replaced the front calipers so could the problem be my handbrake drumm? The dccd controller ain’t also working properly but I understood that if it goes into fault mode, it automatically sets the locks open?
@Smeedia
@Smeedia 7 ай бұрын
It did not submit my reply 💀 I just typed a book out lmao I’d start by getting a dccd controller on there. It should default to open yes, but power will always take the path of least resistance. If something is binding or locking up it may show like that. I’d check axles, wheel bearings etc
