Do they actually use power/batterys or are they passive?

I'd have a look and see what is and isn't covered. Prob find wear and tear items arnt, like brake pads/disks, battery, tyres etc etc Beyond that its a tad pot luck, could be you pay £700 and never need to use it, you could not pay it and get a bill. I would def still get breakdown cover either way, but can always go direct to a provider as mentioned above.

Rust can happen, but doesn't normally cause big issues unless its sat for a long while (months). Is it the ABS kicking in and its a case of water getting into the sensor?

Is it oil pressure or oil level light?

While it might be a 'special' car, other than differing bolt on parts and body panels, there's nothing really mechanically special about it compared to a normal 2 door impreza. So really depends how true replica you want it to be. Bearing in mind you can spec it however you want, closed deck 2.5 and 6 speed is my personal favourite :D Start point will be finding a Type R body shell and getting that into a decent condition then the usual building the shell up form there. Don't expect it to be a cheap either, I would budget 50k at least assuming new parts + shell.

Interesting opinion and one i to confess i share for city driving. I think if your doing longer range motorway speeds then the 6 speed in the sti is a much better.

Welcome :) get some pics up.

Just replace with a decent panel filter will be the best option, plenty of flow capacity. Only reason they are worth changing is if you got a front mount, then its more fitment that capacity.

usefull to know no matter the gen :D

get some pics up, but as a non runner its not gonna be worth alot.

I'm not sure tbh, i'll ask clinic tomorrow, or later today haha

assuming its what im thinking of the smart charging thing is a pita, its known to fail, did on mine. There is a bypass mod that can be done (what mine had), not sure what it entails though im afraid as clinic did it for me.

tbh i find down to -5 is always frozen at -1 lol Best bet just get down to -20, https://www.amazon.co.uk/JOVS-Screenwash-Concentrate-Icer-Streak-Free/dp/B0DNWG3CFC/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2YKUKB4K9AOTD&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.uCn-T9xuJG_QULqsh8mJUwGC1ZCr-Wqjg12YBGba49k7TWTwpGy-rwgKLy4Z5p3trwsVN8kF5r8frAJNZKmIJr90zSzwSHXnNCKDXW-1ZeClp7nYKEwYLY3LsevNPDlfjpmDDS86CasIqX5UbrgnA3qAnI0EY-lW9ZzMSrKDqEysvTL-1opnmLlJYs-vtWD8pYp7YsxcACWX1crmOhQrKsgtpV-_-R7_Ej5-hCSQNCovaU2yluX7Y_CNDTGVq1wjcOP8dITkrzVgR4q66y2haOUKWqjQNyVK80FOZLRAqQ0.sS5WWC3pxSFn8OKABP_rE2v0Bl8P5-o8OZc70Vp7xWQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=low%2Btemp%2Bscreen%2Bwash&qid=1767629230&sprefix=%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-6&th=1 summit like that.

might be worth calling direct to see, they don't have every parts listed. Have you tried a subaru dealer parts department? might take a while but might be able to get one

my usual go to is importcarparts, could try there. Yeah its a fairly quiet forum, like most nowadays in truth. Still active, people pop in and out :)
