bfg g-force comp 2 a/s plus one size up [235s]

plugged into a battery maintainer today... had not looked at positive terminal since September - that #%$# thing was totally covered with corrosion even with anti corrosion felt pad and dielectric grease on post! what the h--- is wrong with subaru's charging system?

yeah - spent over a half hour cleaning the + connector it was so bad after 5 minutes of wire brushing it; i got dremel out with sanding drum and took that to it! then coated it good with dielectric grease before connecting to optima

switched from those crap OE goodyear's to bfg g-force comp 2 a/s plus one size up [235s] wow what a difference - 1st monsoon rain I was in [wipers on high could barely keep eyesight working] on interstate at 75mph ... I could feel them grabbing thru the 1"+ of water on road

thanks! Got a OB2 power saver ... then after plugging it in... forgot to connect it to my jumpstarter so did end up having to do pwr window reprogram.. wasnt hard; but also found dealership was one resetting my seat presets every visit by doing their battery check! The service mgr still claims nothing is reset by disconnecting the battery! the good news is that I got to reprogram my ECU-CVT behavior and now as long as its warm;now it actually goes when I floor it making a turn from a stop sign:icon_mrgr so far I am much happier with a red top optima than the crap factory batteries my car was eating

do keyless entry [push button] models need a ob2 settings 'saver' plugged in to keep settings before battery is disconnected??

sad that on Ascent 3.6 wasn't available; We have a $.30 additional gas tax on premium here... making it over a $1 more than 87 octane

I know mine a '17 HK unit organized the playlist by the order it read them on the USB stick... Which was close to the order I loaded them into the stick, not by alpha numeric folder structure... Is super irritating and some folders, it has reorganized the songs in it alphabetically even though they are numbered 1-10 for order!

Surmiser/anyone - any idea if the specs from the WRX new wheels & tires I posted would work without mods?

looks like its ready for a rally cross heat .... or should be in the now cancelled tv show Defiance!

2nd oil change completed few weeks back ... full synthetic both times; 1st time had the additive added on a coupon for 0 up charge. Include your cylinders(if not in your signature/profile): 4cyl 2.5i Odometer: 12,100 miles driven between: nearly 6,000 Quarts added: 0 driving style (easy, moderate, aggressive): Easy / mixed 90% ; spirited/ heavy acceleration 10% - usually merging, ramps, turns, passing the semi's that cant stay in own lane due to shitty road surface on interstates in Illinois Full engine operating temp (sometimes, usually, almost always): Almost Always

Sadly, It appears that the Brembo calipers on the STI only come in that color; just like many factory ceramic options ... ie Porshe's yellow ones or Dodge's Red ones!

any1 know if the new '18 black STI 19" wheels will fit our legacy's? with or without mod? http://d1arsn5g9mfrlq.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/2018_subaru_wrx_sti-wheel_720.jpg 2018+ STI wheels: Bolt pattern: 5x114.3 Centerbore: 56.1mm Wheel size: 19 x 8.5" Offset: +55mm Tire: 245/35R19

warranty?

I believe the factory oem GY LS2's are at 777 rpm

Andrew: If you look at the spec sheets for both tires I listed they are both a little narrower & the diameter is smaller on OE size than the GY LS2's [Revs per mile stats show how this will add up & mess with both speedo, mpg, & wear]

I have not been impressed with most OEM tires on cars I have had .... Not currently ready to replace, but from browsing tirerack I have seen a couple to potentially consider: Kumho SOLUS TA71 235/50R18 or Dunlop Signature HP 235/50R18 [For some reason this size is the closest to the OE size of the GY LS2's in both brands.] I so wish Dunlop made the awesome but discontinued WinterSport M3's still & in our size. ~Still running year round on a slightly modded tC Any thoughts or experiences?

anyone seen specs for these yet? since they have a 225/40R18 maybe they're compatible?

yes, those I guess they are 10 spoke with the little black spokes hiding ...

anyone seen the specs for the new 18" 5 star Imprezza wheels yet?

overcast late afternoon - this is the darkest my tint looks ever from the outside; virtually clear from inside out. You did a great job installing Johnson insulateIR 45 [ceramic] on the Legacy. She looks amazing! ~ https://www.facebook.com/Accuratewindowfilm/

Ammcinnis - I have read the multimedia/nav manual on p83 it looks like you can choose to display music files by Artists/Album/Song/Genre ... but it does not clarify if only one or multiple choices can be made ie order by artist then album or if you have to chose one and the database will be built by that choice. p 107 states that if files are mpeg 1 layer 3 files from 32-320kbs are supported, however as stated previously in this thread by larrya07 his ltd did not like the 320kbs files .... I can not find anywhere in the manual where it states any comment about using both usb ports for music memory.

Hello, been a while since a post on this ... from reading other posts I have a few questions: 1. Does the head unit keep one or two levels of folders ie Artist/>Album/>Track or does it dump all files into a possible endless[4000+] list if using a large cap usb? 2. Anyone tried using two usb's at the same time? [Leaving two constantly plugged in] 3. Is their an export feature that does a play list or do you need to duplicate all files in a new folder with a #'d order? If their is a playlist export what is it/where do I find it? 4. Have any of the firmware updates helped with issues mentioned? 5. Are people still having issues with mp3 files with the 320kbs setting? I ask since most files I have are at the 320 speed, but some older ones are 160 or 192kbs. ~Thanks
