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 :)

Don't buy any upgrade parts from ebay unless you are getting know brands or from a proper known specialist who just uses it for an online shop. Especially critical components like the oil pump, you get what you pay for.

Did you swap the ecu? The imobiliser used to be linked with the ecu and the keys on the older models. so if the ecu was swapped the keys wont work the immobiliser. Could it be something like that?

tbh ive seen walbro look different even with different brands that are just rebrands lol but it does look like the codes match this one, https://www.glencoeltd.co.uk/ti-automotive-fuel-pumps-walbro/ti-automotive-walbro-255-lph-in-tank-motorsport-fuel-pumps/ boost gauge will go negative at idle, have you changed the engine bay fuel filter? Whats rpm is it trying to idle at? tbh sounds like you need to get it to a specialist and see what they can find.

XV has bluetooth connectivity as the wife plays spotify through it. from what i understand apply p[lay wasnt added till 2017/2018, but might be worth trying it and see if it will as im sure ive seen it mentioned people just connecting their phone and playing through the system. Initialy id just try to connect it and see what it does

The alarm system and immobiliser are two different systems and it sounds like you have an immobiliser fault. It's not unheard of for keys to unpair from the system due to age, but if both keys worked and now they dont i would lean toward the immobiliser rather than the keys as id be surprised if two depaired at the same time. Something to note, after 30 seconds of unlocking the car the immobiliser kicks in if you havnt started it. you need to turn the ignition on, then press the unlock button again to turn it off again. you may know that already but i thought better to mention it just in case you didnt and wasnt actualy anything wrong.
