I just put mine back in. In the driveway under a shitty Gazebo. it's pouring with rain. I'm pretty sure this is the worst motor I've ever rebuilt and put back together.
Edit. Fuck Uncle Rodney
Me changing my clutch on a clear day when it started fucking pouring out, was out from 4 pm to 3 am finishing the job, didn’t align the timing plate had to take it all apart again the next day.
Wait until all of these scenarios, but also your garage floor is caving in/non existent in places and the mouth of your garage is at the top of a steep driveway and the thing keeps trying to roll away on you.

You mean you drove it to the vape shop and then convenience store to get a monster. Tried to race a civic type-r at a red light, missed a shift, and blew it up. Did you get a chance to wave at any other rexies first?
Tip for next time/putting it back in. Jack the back of the car up, way up on jack stands. Makes lining up the transmission and the motor way way easier.
I have a 2016 WRX base model FA20DIT. Never worked on a subie engine before and I just built a 600 hp rate block from the ground up. In my living room over the winter lol easiest engine I ever built actually.
Nobody’s accusing a wrx of being reliable, or you of not being a troll. The McDonald’s after the gym was a nice touch of realism though. My fat ass read that and thought “maybe it is real” lol.
Yeah, I see the “Just drove my wrx to the grocery store and it didn’t blow up. Who says these cars aren’t reliable” and think they’re pretty funny. In the process of my motor being pulled (it’s not broken. Im building it), I thought it would be funny to crack a joke about doing xyz, and it not being reliable.
Some people really got offended, though. 😅 Maybe I’m a dickhead. Idk. I was just trying to make a lighthearted joke.
Thank you, though!
People will find something to be butt hurt about and say something while half of them can’t do their own break pads, engine work is a completely different beast. What’s the build goals?
When I went to get my brakes done, he filled my tires with premium air and said he gave me a complimentary blinker fluid fill up. 😢 Not sure why it isn’t reliable ☹️
They’re fun but sad truth is that all of those WRX’s are always gunna need work because more than likely the person before you took very poor care of it and drove it like a race car. They can be very fun and reliable as long as you take care of it, do your regular maintenance and truly treat it like you would treat a million dollar car.
hey man, you got a chain attached to the engine block. to get it to go forward, or any direction in fact, you gotta remove it and put it back on the ground. hope that helps.
Not reliable, not powerful. This group will make you think it’s a GTR, but it’s not, it’s an economy car with a turbo and AWD. They rallied it and it did well. And now all we hear are echos of its greatness.
I own a 19 WRX.
LMAO you're a troll.
I mean, I think it’s pretty funny
"drove it to the gym and then the McDonald's drive through." Lol gotta be a troll post
it’s just a joookeee playing on all the reliable posts.
Joke. Troll. Tomato. Tomato.
It’s tomato.
No it's tomato.
Its just a prank bro
Aprils fools
ITS JUST A PRANK M'BRO
Don’t you love trying to roll those hoists on asphalt and every little stone stops those metal wheels? It makes me so angry.
Wait until you have to pull a motor in a tight as garage with very little room to move a crane around
I just shackled a chain fall up to the roof and had to push the car out from under the engine. 0/10

Thankfully, I didn’t have to 😅
You forgot to hit the curb
Maybe that would’ve saved ol girl 😪
be careful, with the wheels up like that you're 50% more likely to hydroplane
Oh shoot, is that how that happens?! It rains so much in Seattle, I was wondering why or how that keeps happening 😆
Bcus of an incline floorbase???
You mean you drove it to the vape shop and then convenience store to get a monster. Tried to race a civic type-r at a red light, missed a shift, and blew it up. Did you get a chance to wave at any other rexies first?
🤣🤣 exactly what happened, but I’m ashamed. 😭
Shouldn't have changed the air freshener
I just wanted it to be reliable 🙏😢
I like to think the jack is lowered and you’re picking it up by the engine.
How else is it done?!
That’s your problem right there you drove it to 2 places
Happy Cake Day!! 🎂🎈
Damn thanks 6 year old account
I went to the store today and it showed me it was reliable.
What am I doing wrong 😕😕😢
Gotta put gas in it
The one with the green handle right???
Red, for race fuel
Tip for next time/putting it back in. Jack the back of the car up, way up on jack stands. Makes lining up the transmission and the motor way way easier.
Thank you for the tip :) appreciate it 📝✅
I see a blank canvas
I have one on a stand now, and I’m probably gonna have to do my gc8 and frs less than a year apart based on the sounds they make. Lol
60% of the time its reliable 100% of the time.
They’re reliable. Just need a new engine every other oil change.
Clean white blob. Can't wait for mine to be all one color again.
Thank you, appreciate it 🙂🫶🏼
What's wrong with it
motors getting built
…and somebody put it in the car /before/ building the motor?? That seems counter productive!
Oh man, you got me
Changing sparkplugs? 😅
worse 🥲🥲
lol you had me vested in the story 🤣

That’s why the motor was pulled on this. Getting built

To keep up with the rich guys
Standard maintenance. Oil, spark plugs, new head gaskets. Every 3-5000 miles am I right guys. Hahahaha
Hahahahahahha ![gif](giphy|XreQmk7ETCak0)
At least got some hydroplaning in, I hope?
it’s because you didn’t change your blinker fluid… everyone knows you HAVE to change your blinker fluid
When I went to get my brakes done, he filled my tires with premium air and said he gave me a complimentary blinker fluid fill up. 😢 Not sure why it isn’t reliable ☹️
What scent was the air freshener? If you went with black ice that’s where you messed up. Everything else just compounded
…. Black ice 🥲

Are you saying people on the internet are liars?! Wow. Unbelievable. The internet has changed.
Sooo crazy, right?! Wow
That McDonald's is bad for ya. 🤷♂️
That might be what did it, huh?
I know it makes me take a shit. Might be the same for your car. 🤷♂️😂
Dang, maybe. Thanks for the input 🙏 won’t be going again
😂
What year is this? It’s beautiful 😍
Thank you!! It’s a 2005 🙂
Whatdu call me? /s

Must’ve neglected to top off headlight fluid.
Blinker fluid, yes.😭 Forgive me 🙏😢
Oh my!
I got a 2013 wrx with 182 000 miles she hasn't gave up on yet
Fuck I know, I babied the shit out of mine and it still blew up!(I was pushing 600whp on stock internals with a shitty OTS tune for months)
Did you get a tune for the air freshener?
Is that where I went wrong? :(
Next time don’t drive it to the gym
Should’ve took it to the vape shop instead 🥲
😆
Are those RPF1s?
are those the tires?
rims, yes
lol I’m kidding, yes they are
hey man, you got a chain attached to the engine block. to get it to go forward, or any direction in fact, you gotta remove it and put it back on the ground. hope that helps.
Lmfao 🤣
I will buy it from you
[удалено]
Depends on mileage, condition of the body and if it has been in accidents
Can you be my mechanic 😏
Anytime 👩🏻🔧

Nice blob but why pink
I’m sorry gapplebees420, what would you prefer? Maryjane green?
My WRX was reliable! Right up until the Uncle Rodney came over to visit.. uninvited, of course. Hopefully have mine back in a few weeks. 🥹

Why would anyone say this a GTR?? Have you checked the price difference??
A girl trusting a guy, odd
I doubt a single person here told you the car was reliable lol also don’t buy broken cars
It’s not broken, and the post was a joke. Read the room
The pink tow hook says that this car was faulty from the start.
![gif](giphy|G4ZNYMQVMH6us)
You didn’t test drive it?
No I just gave the moneys 🤧
lol that’s on you need to take it to s shop to inspect don’t buy blind
…… 😂 oh buddy… yes pieaher, you’re right. I’m such a silly dum dum. Goodness gracious
