    In my experience, RainX'ing the windshield only really works once you're above like 45mph. It's such a satisfying feeling watching the water bead up and fly off once you're going fast enough.

      @Smeedia the only reason my 14 Sti is still going is because of you my friend. Sure , Maybe I did all the wrench turning and cussing but, you gave the knowledge and inspiration For the Love of the Game without asking for a penny. It's the least I could do😏. For real though we admire you and are gifted by your passion that you choose to share. Thank you!

    Bugeye WRX bought new in 2002. Modded it. Blew it up in 2012 with 172,000 miles. Pushed in garage of the house I had just bought. Got married. Got divorced. In 2019 bought JDM replacement engine for WRX and a table full of new parts. Bought a 2009 Forester X to daily. What? STi parts fit Forester? Coilovers, rear lca's, wheels....and a ton more suspension parts. Now 2024 Forester is to nice to drive in the winter.....ohhh whats that over there? 2006 Forester for $500? New struts, front pads and rotors.....dad? Yes son. When you gonna finish the WRX? Uh.....

    I'm not familiar with an FD wiper motor but if it's like most other wiper motors the little arm can be incorrectly clocked on the motor shaft. If is and you haven't tried it yet it might be worth a try. Removed the arm from the motor shaft and cycle it once and let it rest then reattach the arm with the wipers down. Either way with or without that thing is sick! ❤

  • @johnrenna5705

    Your vehicle speed was not working because the factory speed sensor in the transmission is wired to the factory instrument cluster. Since you removed the factory instrument cluster you broke this connection. The sensor in the trans is an analog sensor. The speedometer in the cluster took this analog signal and converted it to a digital signal, then sent that signal to the factory ECU.

    • @Smeedia
      @Smeedia  14 годин тому +2

      That’s what I figured, I couldn’t pull continuity from any wire to the cluster either from the ECM. Might end up swapping it to the Trans later on. But for now we at least have it working 🙌

    Hey brother I was watching how your wipers were acting here's something you can try. Where your wiper stops at, remove the wiper arm and position it where you want it and then try it again and see where the sweeping stops and where it ends
