From what I have seen over my time these are the 6 most common mistakes I see people make when first getting into modifying their first Subaru. Hopefully, this can help you avoid what many others before you have tripped over!

CVT owner here and if you are trying to make it a monster buy the MT! Only thing I did was an exhaust and intake on mine to be safe and it was mostly for the sound and it has run flawlessly so far with 95k miles
1st mistake is to cheap out and install trash parts, not tuning it properly, and being in a rush impatiently
When going to get a tune, do you need to get it towed there or is a short drive ok if you don't beat on it?
My worst mistake as a Subaru owner was expecting Puyallup Subaru to honor the drivetrain warranty
im all stock but i currently have just a boomba bypass valve on my 2021 sti, pretty much all stock but i wanna go stage 2, i got the bypass valve bc of the stock leaky bypass valve that supposedly leaks on the stock ones, alot of ppl said its shit tho so if u guys could help and lmk if it is bad then i’ll put my stock one back on. no sounds or flutter btw so its doing its job but lmk
What cable should I go with for my laptop to flash( new bolt on ) my 18 wrx
FA24 in blue does sort of sound alluring now. Still not a glorious EZ30 but Subaru is Subaru 😉
You doing any time attack or any competitive racing this year man? I really wanna start seeing these cars in action… So many people on YT just do these cool builds, but never truly put these cars to any real competition or testing at all. These cars are rally and track icons, and it would be great to really see them competitively driven for an entire season. I know Ridge Motorsports park is hosting the Speed Summit in August which is in your state.
