Keystone State Thread

My 4runner I'm going to build will be manual...with dual cases. I do like my auto to wheel though.

 

Sadly the new CVT’s in the WRX’s apperently aren’t that good. People were reporting failures with just a tune/catback exhaust/CAI along with premature wear. I hear they’re really quick though as I was only able to drive one for about half a mile to 1 mile.

 

I dunno about the WRX version, but the regular impreza version sucks.

 

Yeah I just really wanted a manual and nothing could really sway my mind at the time. I worked at Acura and liked their dual clutch Auto’s a lot better then the CVT’s that most auto makers were putting out. Apperently 2020 the wrx/wrx sti will see a redesign on the “new global platform” so it will be interesting to see what happens especially with the CVT’s if they do give it a slight bump in horsepower.

 

I think my next work car will be a wrx maybe a charger IDK its a couple years away.

 

Who needs a v8 when you can get a 4 cylinder turbo in AWD unless you’re looking hellcat or along the lines of R/T and scat pack. I really did like my WRX, bought a set of winter tires(unstoppable snow plow) and I leased it in case I didn’t like driving a manual every single day and glad I did because now I’m in the taco. Plus paying over $3.00 plus for Premium got old too. I was alittle surprised though when the ride was smoother/quieter in my taco also, but the wrx is definitely a fun car. Anyone need a set of car snow tires that have less then 500 miles on them?

 

Saved that one.

 

I would look at the R/T I am keeping my truck when I get a new company car. So I don’t really need the AWD unless it’s the random rain/ snow days.

I like the WRX for the fun of shifting gears and pretty much fits anywhere.

 

I would have to agree, I’ve never owned a charger, but even though my car was stock with the exception of LED plate lights, tinted tails, rally armor flaps, vortex generator, rain guards, and CF overlays.. I got compliments/stares/pictures every where from both male and female. Especially at Costco for some reason. Lol edit:never had an issue parking.

 

That looks heavy

 

Not really I picked it up myself and put it in the truck took it home and put it in the garage until the paint shop has time to do it.

 

It’s a good looking car.

 

Has anyone here ever built a camping trailer? I’m talking along the lines of buying a base trailer and building/upgrading from there. Or would just be easier to sacrifice my bed space and buy a canopy/hard shell and start there?

 

422 where you at!? Lol

 

A couple minutes northeast of Pottstown. How about you?

 

Are they 5x100? I have this as my DD lol

Depending on your budget the company I do side design work for builds custom trailers!

 

Dang! I grew up in Ephrata and now I live in Lebanon and work in Hershey! I was hoping you were west of reading haha

 

Ask @HolyHandGrenade
Tim’s built a nice one.

 

To take with you on trails or to go camping at camp sites?
