amusa Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) It sucks but sometimes you are better off not dealing with a dishonest seller like that. Since he is willing to lie and be dishonest to make more money, who knows what else he may have lied about with those wheels. Your correct but found another seller on ebay. I just bought it for a bit more this time this seller did not charged me sales tax like the previous one did and included free shipping from Cali to the D.C. area.

Falcor Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 PM me your FB name if you're on it and I'll submit a request. There's not a definite number on price yet, but OP ballparked it at $250+ Sorry, not on FB. Never got into it. It's ok, my financial adviser would never approve anyway .

Sarang Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The driver's side corner of my front bumper that will not just stay fxcking popped in. The tab's not even broken, it just won't stay in and pops out after most drives. Does anyone know why this happens and how to avoid it? I'm going to be putting a new bumper on mine later this summer and I'd like to never have the problem again. Mine does it on both sides. I can push it in and hear/feel an audible click, but when I walk out to the car again they are always popped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee199969 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The part the bumper clips into can be replaced. If I were you I'd buy new ones on each sideDoes anyone know why this happens and how to avoid it?

coco26 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Are you talking about the corner by the headlight or by the wheel? This happened to my headlight corner after I changed the headlights and drove me nuts until I fixed it. I had to reposition the black plastic under the headlight so the clip stuck far enough out to catch the bumper tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarang Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 The corner at the headlight and the fender. It looks fine at the wheel. Replacing the clip part does sound like a good idea, but I'd hate to spend the ~$50 and it not be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco26 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I have a 2014 left side plastic piece that can be yours for the price of shipping. I picked it up at a scrap yard because I had the same idea. After pulling the bumper off, I noticed that the clips were still in good shape so I just decided to shim the one that's on there. Didn't have to remove anything. I'm guessing it moved because I overtightened those bolts when remounting the plastic after my headlight swap. Might want to see if you can do the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgeo13 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Just a quick question that I didn't feel was worthy enough of it's own thread. Has anyone changed/removed their oil pan on 2.5i? Mine is superrrr rusty and starting to pit a little bit, so I was planning on replacing it before it got a pin hole in it (which isn't uncommon with Subaru's). Is it as easy as it looks? Just undo the bolts all the way around and remove? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpidermanMTL Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 anyone know the inner diameter size of the hose that runs from the bpv ?.. is it the same as the vacuum hose for a boost gauge?

SpidermanMTL Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 i had some left over from my boost gauge install and wanted to swap it seeing i'm running the racerx charge pipe and it is apparent now. how ever when I went to change it, I noticed the bpv hose was wider.. but it may be just because its old.

I did remove the headlights to install new bulbs a while ago so I probably just borked it up. This is the joint between the plastic that wraps around the front, and the piece that the wheel-side corner clips to. You can see part of a finger from the lower piece that slides into the upper piece (in the forward direction). I stuck my shim in between the finger and the edge of the upper piece, so that when I tightened the bolt (pictured) it tightened the shim against the finger. That spaced it out enough for me. Note: I don't recommend using a butt-splice connector as a shim, but its working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxrider28 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 So Torque Solutions has new(ish) rear LCAs for the '15 WRX. It's been a while since I've seen and LCA talk but IIRC these should work on the 5th gen. Looks like theres is quote a bit more adjustment points vs most other LCAs, look to have 6 different shock mounting points and both inner and outer adjustments. https://www.instagram.com/p/BkYeOHVBfYq/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=97hwqu0nyygw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Sometime I scratch my head thinking as to why someone would need all those adjustment holes more towards the middle. I recently stumbled upon these locally for 300$..toe arms for 150$ if you wanted a deal I could get them for you and ship them https://voodoo13usa.com/shop/2013-frs/voodoo13-frs-brz-wrx-rear-control-arms/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
