Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

The fact that UELs aren't there from stock doesn't even slightly bother me. When you get a WRX or STI you should do at least an intake and full turbo back

Unfortunately, now all people care about are turbos, which means, either 1 / 2JZ's or RB's...

Tethered my phone to my pc to try this out. (My backup router will use 4g for the connection so i thought i'd try it on my phone. Which is barely a 3g capable phone) 

And now i'll return to browsing sparingly on my phone as i don't want to waste money.

Couldn't you wait a bit and get coilovers? IDK... (they cost like 5x those tho)

Congrats on the purchase anyway :D

Coilovers are way too expensive IMO. I just want to lower the car an inch anyway, the fact that the spring rates are a bit firmer is just icing on top.

RIP data/money

I just need to be patient. In two days I'll surf on 4g for free. 

Browsing on my phone is awful. Id take dial up over this.

Hell just checking my facebook without having to squint would be great. And typing without a keyboard taking up 50% of the screen. (With another 20% being covered up by the url bar..)

Tl:dr 

Touch screens are dumb. Bring back buttons

I've always used "tranny" as a slang term for "transmission" and never made the connection to someone who is transgendered (and I've got fairly progressive friends) until I was watching a youtube video where someone was pulling and engine and transmission out of a powerstroke and called it a "engine/tranny combo".

 

I was skimming through the comments and saw an SJW just unloading on the guy. And then it clicked that "tranny" can be used as a slur. 

 

After that brief moment of realizing that, I kept using the term.

that sentence was so perfect when pulled out of context tho

They never removed the UEL from the VA generation  STI. That chassis still uses the EJ. They gave the WRX the FA20 from the brz, but a uel, midpipe and catback will give a similar burble.

When I lower my car I'll be lowering about 1.6 inches and going up 1 inch in wheel size to 17x7s

Firstly, new LBWalk diecast pre-orders are up for the NSX. I'll be passing on these, methinks.

Secondly, holy one of few occasions when EA Customer service isn't terrible. It's actually pretty relieving being able to talk to a human within minutes of requesting a callback regarding account security.

it kinda annoys me because subarus were kinda known for that UEL header burble.

so 7 inches to mm is about 177, so i say try to get some 185s. though idk what kinda performance tires are available for such skinny wheels.

ok, you are right there, but that burble is too smooth for my liking. i liked it in the previous gens, when it was more defined, and you can hear the pulses from the header back.
