Sharing the only two pictures I have of my 2025 WRX tS. Picked it up, drove it for 5 miles, and dropped off for PPF. Can’t wait for pickup this Friday and to start the tortuous break-in!

Finally pulled the trigger on the oem sti wing, thinking of taking off the noble wing for an oem style wing or remove the one off the roof not sure

Now that it’s properly broken in I’m gonna change the oil and have some stock Wrx fun lol

The VB got taken for a nice Sunday drive and got some quick phone shots, enjoy!

Does anyone else use one of those front and back seat separators so your dog doesn’t jump to the front seat? Feel like I’m driving around a prisoner lol.

You start blacking things out and then the yellow caps bothers you…

went with 35% ceramic film all around

Finally got around to swapping these shits over. Trans mount is as you would expect, the rubber is harder and it has a cute little STI logo on the side. I believe quite a few already run this guy so no surprises.

The main show, however, is the GR Group N crossmember bushings (part number ST41022ZR000). As you can see, the OEM units are basically freshly chewed bubblegum. I don’t have a durometer or anything, but as can be seen in the pictures I’m exerting MORE force to bend the Group N bushings. The thicc boi I was about shaking trying to curl and it barely moved. Also showing side-by-side shots to verify dimensions are the same. All shots include STI parts on the left, OEM on the right. Really excited to take it out for a drive and get a feel for it. I’ll update with initial impressions.

Also, for funsies, included side by side shots of my OEM vs STI short throw I swapped at the same time. I believe this is well documented, but note how the lever is positioned closer to the driver, the shift/reverse lockout cable holes are offset, there’s a cute little STI logo, and the baseplate has a protrusion to allow for extra clearance for the shift lever.

Has anyone else here experienced vibration in the clutch pedal at low mileage? I’m at 6100 miles and just started experiencing vibration in the pedal at the bite point (probably 800 miles ago). The clutch honestly feels fine and it is engaging fine, no slippage or anything, but I have 9 hours left tomorrow on a 45 hour road trip and want to gauge what is going on. Is this normal for the car?

I refuse to believe I’ve destroyed my bearing or the clutch yet, I’ve been driving responsibly and don’t ride the clutch.

Any reccomendations on new blades? Or sizes? Stock ones are horrible!

Raining off and on today so I took advantage…wash, wax, and inside detail to start the week off.

Unfortunately needed to move on to something automatic as for quite a few reasons. Moved into a ‘22 Golf R with similar amount of miles. Looking forward to my next chapter!

What do you like? I’m liking the Rhino.

Hello,

I have encountered this issue a few times now. If the stratified start is still happening and I'm on an incline the Hill Start Assist won't let off the brake immediately. I have to modulate the clutch and gas a little and then you can feel it release or it will stall sometimes. The weird thing is that it doesn't always happen during the stratified start. I have an incline after I back out of my driveway so I do this everyday. It's also happened on an incline outside of my work too.

Has anyone experienced this?

Thanks,
Zach

So it's finally time to replace the stuck summer tires on the car and while I got a good use out of them but I'm not paying 300+per tire. Does anyone have experience with any of these tires? Both Bridgestones are dated 2022 but I figured it took 3 years to need new tires that's fine. While I've heard great things about the Continentals the price of the Bridgestones wants me to take the risk.

Bought the JDM fog bezels and the harness doesn’t connect in any way to the factory harness. What am I missing? 24 Premium. Pics 1&2 are from the drl, 3 is the factory connection. Do I need a different connector to make this work?

Wheels 🛞 about to get that treatment before being installed. First time ever getting wheels for a car. Living that midnight club dream. Birthday gift 🎁 to myself!
