HolyCrapItsFast... Cyberu belongs to someone else now.
Hard wired I think is the better option. Lots of guys leave their AP plugged in so an OBD plug might not be so great.- Spamby

Also, when storing your torque wrenches, leave them at the lowest setting. Don't torque something to 100 ft lbs and then throw it in the toolbox. Back the dial down to zero or 5 lbs and then put it away. If you're at all suspect of the accuracy of the wrench, send it off to a local shop or an...- Spamby

Ok. Here are few things 1: ninety lbs feet of torque is not good. This deviates considerably from the factory spec of 73.8. 66 is also noted as the correct torque on older gens. You'd think 16-24 lbs feet of torque is too much but it an very well be enough to cause damage. Just because the...- Spamby

Maximum oil temperature
Seems a bit high. I should think 93 c to 98 c a bit more where it should be at during cruise. Then again, the location of the temp sensor is probably getting hotter oil from the engine rather than a sensor at the bottom of a pan where the oil tends to be a bit cooler. And grinder is spot on... -
Noobie looking for info....
Welcome. Don't buy an 08 WRX. It's a bastard year. 09 and up is better with more power and better turbocharger. 08+ STi is fine with probably the '10+ being a bit better amongst the group.- Spamby

Brakes, Brakes these damn brakes!!!!
No joke, they are expensive. I think he went with StopTech. Pretty sure he did. I'd try a brake duct kit to see if you can get anymore out of them. Hell, at least you'll have ducts for the bigger brakes if/when you get them. Also, Castrol SRF has s much higher wet boiling point, 500*. I...- Spamby

Brakes, Brakes these damn brakes!!!!
I'd think at this point in the game you need to look at ducting for the brakes. I'd also say it's probably time to get a BBK. Sounds like your track is hard on the brakes or you are. Really trying to make the OEM system work might be futile at this point since you keep cooking things. I...- Spamby

I'm going to throw this out there because I have had experience with this. Do you park outside? And do you have a neighbor that might not like you?- Spamby

Fairly easy to replace yourself. The rear is probably a little harder but definitely doable. Tuner nuts won't help. If the studs have been stretched, they never go back. Pull on a rubber band, that's what happens when the studs stretch but they never bounce back like the rubber band. The studs...- Spamby

You can't compare the factory to aftermarket as aftermarket wheels usually require a different seat for the lugnut. 60* conical or taper is usually what's required. Basically, a nuts a nut in most cases. Under extreme load as in racing or off-roading, a more expensive option may be better but...- Spamby
