Sadly its been 10 months (actually to the day) since he last logged in. Hope all is well and he's just been super busy.

Nice!

Get some pics of them all on at night, if you dont already have some

 

[stupidchicken03]

Beefy!
When did you do those side lights on the fender trim? Install them on their own switch or tied into something? When do you normally use them?

 

[stupidchicken03]

Next time you have to use them, hope you have a dash cam recording and post the footage haha!

 

[stupidchicken03]

👏👏👏

 

[stupidchicken03]

Congrats!!

 

[stupidchicken03]

When would the million mile ETA be?

 

[stupidchicken03]

Welp, those got a full life cycle!

 

[stupidchicken03]

Any updates since Nov?

 

[stupidchicken03]

I went for aftermarket. Figured I was getting 100k out of OEM, if I got 50k out of aftermarket but it only costs 1/4 the price AND has a lifetime warranty, I’d still be ahead. Except I’m no longer getting 50k out of them. Used to have decent luck with Cardone, not anymore. They are all garbage.

You can only change so many axles until you get really over it and decide your time is worth more than the $300 you saved.

AND thats taking into consideration that YOU'RE doing the work and not paying shops hourly rate for maint

Which, for at least the 3 of us (me, you, Wolverine) is doing

 

[stupidchicken03]

^ Ive always been told that always use Subaru OEM axles. Even with the WRX and STi, OEM or bust.

 

[stupidchicken03]

Put it all on red lol

 

[stupidchicken03]

Done with it? Hmm, that might be a while.

Oh I figured!

 

[stupidchicken03]

Wolverine just needs to keep the XV a bit longer after he's done with it to play around

 

[stupidchicken03]

Im honestly surprised that the radiator made it that long!

Back in the GD chassis of the WRX, they were kinda thought of as "ticking time bombs"
where right around 100k miles they would leak at the metal/plastic joint.

Did you just replace 5th gear? Know if the newer 2018+ 6-speed would drop right in?

 

[stupidchicken03]

Good start but I'm kinda feeling that your heart really isn't in this.

hahahahahaa

 

[stupidchicken03]

I just ticked over 26,000 this week in my 18.

 

[stupidchicken03]

That price per mile is pretty good

 

[stupidchicken03]

I have seen that video before and I wasn't surprised. I knew the construction of the cheapo Fram was questionable at best. I only use the 'synthetic' Fram filter because the construction and material is different. 772,000 miles on a 2011 Ford Fiesta and 634,000 miles on a 2015 Crosstrek using Fram. Maybe I SHOULD change the filter I use, hmm.

crazy to see the differences between the models!

That's a bummer! Two "small" things to ruin it all haha.

I just recently watched this video comparing the inners of some of the most popular brands of filters. I was pretty surprised at how Fram compared to the others
