bulbs inside switches and rad caps.
Rad cap on mine is just a release valve if the internal pressure gets too high. The filler cap is connected to the expansion/overflow tank. It adds when hot and sucks it back in when cold. Different to most cars I have ever owned.

On a 2007 WRX the cap with wings goes on the filler tank and is a 2 way valve. The Rad cap has no wings and is a one way valve. The have different ratings too. Not sure if that helps

11 WRX coilovers vs springs
I have been thinking about this and so far I gather that coilovers are generally overkill for a road only car. Plus what sort money you prepared to part with makes a big difference as always. I am interested to hear what the experts say or someone that has experienced coil overs vs uprated springs etc.. Rear sway bar seems to also be an easy quick upgrade.

Subaru Hooligan Fun | Assetto Corsa
The car for the game is based on a real modded Hawkeye WRX (read the link), also the track is based on real French roads and put together to make this course. Both given away free to the Assetto Corsa community, amazing people.

Subaru Hooligan Fun | Assetto Corsa
Someone made a really nice Tuned WRX for Assetto Corsa based on their own car. Total turns you into a hooligan. I made this video to demonstrate with a friend. I have not laughed so much in game for long time. You can read about the mod here: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/2007-subaru-impreza-wrx-gd-tuned.33356/

Overheating 2000 n/a
Drain it. Refill from turbo hose at the high filler tank. Fill it really slowly. So easy get trapped air in these. If it still does the same it does sound like HG otherwise. I hope it the coolant mix. Also do you have rad cap and fill tank cap on the right way round. Rad cap has no wings if stock cap. Rad cap is a one way valve, filler tank is 2 way valve and different pressure ratings. Got those wrong will cause it to overheat Check for any leaks too as minor ones will cause it to run hot too. Good luck

Temperature Gauge Question
I second that. Looks spot on to me. BTW the temp gauge is so slow it not worth relying on. Get OBD dongle and you will see what I mean.

Valuation for Insurance
Advertised and sold are two different things. When I bought my car the dealer would not budge at first. 2 weeks later he said he already sold it but the guys finance fell through. Well you never sold it. In the end I got him to come down £500 and then he cannot count and I walked away with an extra £100, lol. Paying cash can be really useful

Head Gasket Failure
Sorry to hear about HG, good luck. Out of interest is it modded at all?

Advice Wanted (Head Gasket)
As above in general if your opening the motor you may as well do the rest. Dreaded 2.5 HGs

Hissing noise at 3k when giving it some ☹️
I had that on an NA Classic Impreza. Turned out the cat had collapsed inside the exhaust.

WRX Sti for sal
Sal. As soon as I read the title I thought I would not be buying a car of this guy. Then it gets worse. No care and attention to detail. I would not call that number
