r/WRX

I just purchased a dmann ots tune off of jdmuscle, does anyone know the turnaround time until I’ll receive the tune in my email? Like I said, it is just an ots tune for an ETs CAI, so shouldn’t take too long one would think.

Looking to buy a cheaper head unit off amazon. any recommendations?

Hey guys! I drive a 6-speed 2019 WRX Premium. I just bought the car a few months ago and immediately had to have the clutch replaced at 48k miles (previous owner must've ran the car hard). After the clutch replacement, the clutch was still slipping every now and again but I chalked it up to it's break in period. Hasn't done it in a while and then yesterday on my way to work, the clutch slipped really bad on the highway. I was thinking master slave cylinder or clutch wasn't done correctly. Not 100% sure. Regardless, after it slipped I realized I lost all boost and the car is lagging. No oil leaking. Any thoughts? Not even sure the two correlate. Just seems too coincidental.

I guess everyone else already knew but I wish I knew about this sooner because it's been driving me crazy ever since I rebuilt my engine. Silicone hoses indeed are extremely permeable and you lose a lot of coolant to evaporation through them.

Every time I stopped my car after it was hot it would reek of coolant for hours, and I would find the level in the reservoir dropping significantly even after the engine cooled and the car sat for a couple weeks in the garage. Couldn't find any leaks and it was driving me crazy.

I had put silicone hoses when I upgraded my radiator because the rubber ones were old, and the silicone ones were a lot easier to get on the ports. Now I put new OEM hoses on (with new OEM spring clamps) even though it was a giant pain in the ass to get them to stretch on my CSF radiator. Car doesn't reek like coolant all the time and the reservoir level is steady now, sweet!

I was using Grimmspeed silicone hoses, but I suspect the brand doesn't matter and this happens with all silicone hoses.

For context I drive a 2018 subaru wrx sti base no harmon kardon. The speaker in my driver and passenger side door card blew within the last month on the regular base equalizer. I just bought the idoing head unit and am considering upgrading the speakers rather than replacing oem. My knowledge on speakers is very little and I understand the benefits of a subwoofer but I’d prefer to just replace speakers unless it REALLY WORTH the extra money. I mainly listen to rock and rap, I guess you can consider it on the louder end but I don’t like the whole trunk shaking shit from a subwoofer or loud asf.

1. What speakers do you guys recommend?
2. Do I need to replace all of the speakers?
3. I’m assuming the speakers won’t come plug and play so rate the install.
