2 months later I have a crack in the windshield from a rock on the highway. :shakehead: Long story short it needs to be replaced.

I was wondering if anyone knew or had experience with Safelite? I'm thinking of using them to replace my windshield. ]]> New Member Hangout RySTI http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/new-member-hangout/134368784-windshield-replacement-safelite-good.html http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/new-member-hangout/134368780-want-wrx-but.html Tue, 18 Jun 2013 22:13:00 GMT I live over 400km (250 miles) from the nearest Subaru dealer.

I don't do huge miles, especially in winter, but need a (northern Alberta friendly) year round car. My biggest concern is that I suffer a warentee issue that leaves the car undrivable and me with the problem of getting it to a dealer.

The question is, how likely is a post '09 wrx to have such an issue. I have joined this fourm to try to find out. I'll be searching and asking in the coming weeks.

Thanks. ]]> New Member Hangout Handlevandal http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/new-member-hangout/134368780-want-wrx-but.html http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/new-member-hangout/134368772-bucking-wrx.html Tue, 18 Jun 2013 22:02:31 GMT hi 04 wrx wagon no mods, On hard acceleration all gears the car bucks :confused: hi

Love the color turns alot of heads, got the car with a life time warranty and the only thing is i want to do some mods but dont want to loose the warranty. So was wondering what everyone else thinks or even the first thing's they do. I put a drop in air filter and i think im going to do muffler deletes, trying to avoid tuning the motor because i know that will void the warranty.

I am losing almost all power to the engine in my '98 Impreza WRX. When I accelerate the car does not move until around 4500 rpm in first and I have to continue to rev at high rpms in 2nd-5th in order to reach even minimal speed. If anyone knows what could be causing this I would appreciate it.

The problem is when I go from a stoplight or stop sign, the RPMS drop a lot from a 1500-1800 rpm acceleration as i let the clutch out.
The problem is, it drops to a point where it almost stalls! This is all while i'm still holding 1500-1800 rpms on the throttle.
My only method is to gas it more while slipping it. But that adds more wear to my clutch.

Is this normal?!

I heard of intake leaks, or some kind of vacuum leak may be a cause?

Anybody else experience this?
TIA for any info. ]]> New Member Hangout Brozario http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/new-member-hangout/134368554-rpms-drop-after-accelerating.html http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/new-member-hangout/134368538-should-i-buy-wrx.html Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:55:08 GMT Hi all, I'm new to Subaru and I'm thinking about buying a 2009 WRX sedan.

I work at a car dealership and we recently took in the 09 WRX, it's black and drives beautifully. It has approximately 72000 KM's or 43000 Miles. That being said I don't know much about these cars besides the fact that I enjoy them.

I've been driving it as my "demo" for about 400 km's and love it as I knew I would. My question is what do I need to look for before I buy? What maintenance should I look into at this point?

I also noticed what I was driving it, putting it into reverse requires some force. Is that common for Subaru's? I'm not sure.


Also, I do plan on doing somethings to it, nothing crazy. Exhaust, tuner (maybe?) intake and that's pretty well it.

I don't know what brands are good for these cars and I don't know what kind of power difference I'll see with these slight modifications. I would love to have it over 300hp but I don't know if that's possible given my parameters.

I also know that that Subaru's aren't cheap, and either are there parts. The expense of maintenance doesn't scare me, I just don't want a car that is going to need thousands ever month!

I've read somewhere that when shifting in reverse in a WRX, the car needs to be stopped before engaging in reverse. Is this correct? Is it because there isn't a synchro for reverse? Of course, I'm not doing that again, but I'm hoping that the two times I did grind didn't do any damage.

Thoughts? ]]> New Member Hangout JimboWRX http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/new-member-hangout/134368511-2013-wrx-grinding-while-shifting-reverse.html http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/new-member-hangout/134368506-new-forum.html Sun, 16 Jun 2013 21:13:14 GMT Hi guys,

I'm a new WRX owner and new to this forum.

I recently bought a 2003 WRX. I'm from NZ, so it's a JDM spec. It is pretty much un-modified. It only has lowered springs, 17" aftermarket alloys and an STI front lip.

I previously owned a Nissan Stagea, which is basically a Skyline station wagon. It was a 2.5 turbo, 4WD, auto. Great car, big, grunty and reliable, but I hated the auto. :-(

My partner owned a 2000 WRX, which I loved driving. So when it came time to buy a new car, I looked around and found that Subaru was one of the few brands that had an abundance of manual cars. So I bought this one.

I love it. :-) It cost me NZ$14,000 (US$11,000) and has done 90,000km. The engine is completely untouched (which is very rare here in NZ) and it is in great condition. The only issue with it is that it is a bit low. The number of times I have scraped the front lip on driveways, etc is annoying.

I'm not really into doing huge modifications to cars. I enjoy tinkering, but that's about it. I would like to maybe fit a better intake and exhaust, but that's about it for the engine. The one big thing I'd like to do is fit wider tyres. I'm thinking 235's. It would mean I would have to get wider wheels, I'd stick with 17's though, I think they look about the right size for the car. Any ideas on what sort of offset I'd need? I'd like to have the edge of the wheel pretty much at the edge of the guard, I like that look.

Anyway, I hope to add any experiences I have with you guys and hopefully help someone with something in the process.

Thanks,

Simon ]]> New Member Hangout Symar300 http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/new-member-hangout/134368506-new-forum.html http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/new-member-hangout/134368497-new-here.html Sun, 16 Jun 2013 14:34:37 GMT I'm new to this site, just bought my 2nd Subaru. This one is an 07 WRX STi and I absolutely love it. Really looking for people in the tri state area to meet up with and talk cars.

I do have one question. When shifting at about 3k RPM I have a I/C Spray light that will quickly come on and then go off. Is this anything to be worried about?

Used to lurk on this site a few years ago but never signed up. Well as the title says, I used to have a 05 Sedan. I kept that car for 6 years then I traded it in for a F150 Raptor. Well I've grown bored of that and now I'm looking to get in another wrx. Hopefully if I can find some decent pictures of my last and throw them up.
