For those of you who are wondering what my wheels specs are: Work XD9 in 18x10+38 Tyres are 265/35 Hankook RS3 Camber is -2.3 in the front and about -1.5 in the rear due to natural lowering. The rear fenders have also been rolled and pulled.

I drove a wrx for the first time a couple days ago and my reaction was exactly what you said, it just never gets old. Been wanting one for years even before I could drive. Unfortunately, this one needed way too much work to pass inspection.

The 10,000 k is for real. That is probably the best advice you can give any Subaru owner

Thanks for the tips mate. I'll be sure to take care of my Subaru once I buy it. Always was my Dream car the Sub WRX STI hatchback.

Definitely agree with some tips. Check your fluids as best as you can. My radiator cracked and none of my coolant made it to my engine and it blew a head gasket costing me $4k this month so definitely try to have money saved up (I didn’t). Overall I love my WRX but do the best you can w/ maintenance

Never gets old 👍

Great video, I’ve got an 01 Bugeye myself.

I’ve been told by a few mechanics that warming up the car is not really necessary in Australia and is more of a northern hemisphere thing because it gets -20° overnight there

So long as you not adding mods or not doing proper maintenance then you’ll be fine! I’m 37 yrs old and I’ve owned quite alot of Subaru automobiles and I’ve tried it all, and what I’ve found is just baby these performance cars (wrx/sti)! If you wanna mod one, then buy an older model (preowned) don’t spend your money on a new one and start modding it out, only if you have the extra capital to invest. Other than that I have a 03 WRX/STI hatch that has over 180k (original miles) that is still chugging along as I do my daily/monthly/yearly maintenance! That’s all it takes, plain and simple. What they ain’t telling you is if you keep it stock and take care of it, then it will last you damn near a lifetime! (Improper ECU tuning is the main killer of all Subarus)

Useful vid 👍 keep up your good work 👌

I like to add when an owner reaches 30 insurance price will drop good driving record and when person reaches 40 too. When you get married insurance will go down too, safety features on car there's discount on insurance too. Also have a backup vehicle too

You forgot to mention the firewall welds are really bad on our models, like...exceptionally bad like really REALLY bad. I own a MY11 wrx hatch and although mine's not as bad yet, ive already seen my welds ever so slightly bent in. The guy who sold me my very first subaru ever has babied it but trashed the tranny, so that set me back $3k in repairs for a 2nd hand 5SPD, including a new clutch. Nice Subbie you got there btw

Great wrx u got there. Noticing u got some xd9s? What are ur wheel specs? And also suspension?

Subarus are so much fun to drive i drive my 2014 impreza sti everyday and no problems❤🎉

Tip number 5 very important after drive let your car sitting running for good 30sec to min for the oil line to cool down

@zonedoutentertainment4778

3 жыл бұрын

Tip number 5 should be turbo timer then?

Some suggest waiting longer for the warmup. The idle drop happens long before the water,oil and metal equalize. I'm not waiting till the needle moves. It's time and gas for questionable gain. I do think a bit longer than idle drop is better. Till some heat reaches all the metal and the oil is warmer. This should only be needed on the first cold start and anytime it sits till it's stone cold. If the needle is moving I am too. Then there's cooldown. Supposedly you shouldn't just stop and shut it off as it can bake oil in the turbo. This is a huge pain when running errands. Supposedly some new cars continue to oil the turbo after shutoff. Some say it's only important after hard driving but hot is hot. I'm not sure sitting still without air going through the radiator doesn't just make it hotter. You didn't cover the intercooler radiator and separate fill cap or the dipstick under the intercooler. They're there and don't seem to get dirty but I never had any of those before. I've wanted a turbo car for decades and right now I am not impressed. I just leave it running for real quick errands. About the ten grand for repairs. I only paid five so if it blows she's a goner. Ain't hating yet but time will tell if it's reliable enough for daily use or just a toy. Pushy understeer and the e brake is too close and hits my elbow getting in. It is being compared to an old 911,ae86,325 BMW and a Miata so it has it's work cut out. I had high expectations and still do.

The moment you said you should at least have 10k in the bank I was like ちょっとまってなに？！ pardon me?!?!

First thing to do tomorrow morning: check fluids. Why not videos about correcting or working on yours car pain. Clay bar and polish are simple and on budget. I did one to my car back in Oz. Turn out pretty good. Cheers from Peru mate! =)

I don't necessarily agree with paying more for insurance. At least here in the US. Mine is listed as a Subaru Impreza on my insurance. WRX is basically just a trim level of an Impreza, so it would likely be the same as a Toyota Camry.

And I'm here with my 2010 hatch 1.5R already burning 10L per 100km and getting unwanted surprises any other maintenance round, not scared of buying an STI hatch when I get the budget for it. Also confirming all the tips, even my granny Subie is definitely not a performance car 😂 and has similar basic issues.. as any Subaru does

Is it worth pre empting a stuffed head gasket by replacing it early on? Also, you talked about warming up. What about cooling down of the engine/turbo? I'm looking at buying a Ver 4 with higher k's so any other advice is welcome. Thanks.

@00Lach

My advice is if it isn't broken then don't try and fix it. Our turbos are water and oil cooled so unless you have been giving it a belting prior to shutting down then I would let it idle for 30 secs - 1min. For the most part this isn't necessary ☺️

"Injecting more air in.." You lost it right there.

Do you find that the clutch starts grabbing at a very high point?

My wrx hatch has a loud ass lifter noise, only occurs when it gets warm. Not sure why.

I don’t really see it as a performance car since it does save way more money on gas than my 15’ mustang gt ( e85 and on3 twin turbo). Maintenance cost motor wise is much more. Besides all that I’m currently looking at a 14’ impreza wrx. To have as a daily instead of driving a TT car all the time making a huge whole in my damn wallet.

Hi mate what oil are you using? And how many km you got? I got 188*** and was using 10w40 but now using 10w50 Due to too much oil leaking / burning through my passenger rocket cover gasket. Very thick but in Sydney it gets 40+ degrees so it’s perfect for it.

Planning on purchasing a 2011 Wrx. the previous owner did some work to it from what i notice (nvidia exhaust, intake, possibly downpipe since it burbles and pops a bit..not too sure thought to be honest) but it has a Cobb access port installed. I test drove it today and it ran/drove beautifully! Way better than the stock one i drove years back that was the same year. Should I be worried about the mods since I dont know what was done exactly and the dealership doesnt know, even though it ran like a dream for the 35+min test drive?

@00Lach

Жыл бұрын

Hey mate, generally I would say if it runs like a dream and you've inspected the car for oil leaks, etc, the gear box feels solid and there's no weird sounds then you're probably okay. With that being said I would say those mods are pretty safe if the car has been tuned correctly. Sounds like it's been tuned by the accessport and thats most likely fine. How many miles/kilometers does it have? Do you know if it's had an engine rebuild or anything? Feel free to send me some pics on Instagram @00Lach

Also due to our turbos having water and oil cooling you won't need to keep the car running before shutting down. Unless you've just ripped around the track, this isn't necessary and hasn't been necessary since turbo timers were made redundant in the early 2000's. Cheers
