dk2m posted:Yes, they are absolutely fixed with a tune. If you’re not familiar with tuning, the most common off the shelf option is by using a Cobb Accessport and their in built tunes. They are the most conservative out there, and from what I recall, it did help but it was fairly subtle. The bigger issue with these cars is that there is a noticeable drop off in torque towards the rev limiter which makes it feel..not great when trying to rev it out. I am somewhat car stupid, but the Cobb Stage 1 OTS tune made a big difference on my mostly stock STI. Runs noticeably smoother across revs, less hang and less knock.

Rolo posted:Yeah I think I’m going to keep it wingless, my first car love was the WRX so having all the parts of the STI jammed into what looks like one has become my happy place. Nice car, but the wing really makes it perfect IMO...

I've got a weird one... I replaced the battery in my 16 STI, and now the high beams are 'stuck' on. High beams are on by default, dash high beam light is off. If I turn the high beams on with the stalk, nothing changes. If I flash the high beams, the low beams go on and the high beams icon shows up. wtf? any ideas? edit: Everything was working normally until I put in the battery, that's the only change Mao Zedong Thot fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Oct 13, 2022 |

Well, I have the absolute dumbest resolution possible. The problem was that the headlights were turned off. And what I thought were my high beams were my (apparently very bright) fogs. I leave my lights turned on all the time in every car that has auto-shutoff, so I would never even consider to check that outside of trying to diagnose this. I am a moron.

assuming you mean you haven't learned and are not physically incapable of it for some reason, it's really not that bad. basically the first time I drove a stick was picking up my sti. It was fine, I don't think I even stalled on the first drive. youtube's amazing. Very happy that I took a leap and learned. edit: for the first month or two I would carefully pick my routes to avoid traffic/stopsigns etc lol Mao Zedong Thot fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Oct 16, 2022 |

Cactus Ghost posted:my friend (a heterosexual woman) just referred to the wing that the first owner deleted from my sti as "douchey" so im thinking that wing delete may have been a blessing in disguise the OEM wing is good, op
