vw's used to rally back in the day of Alister McRae in his yellow mk3 golf, they disappeared for years from the rallying scene, now they are back, might be a similar thing with the Subaru, we can but hope

we will have to get something sorted for shows like this one year, get a forum kitty put together like a paypal account for the club, if everyone could donate a little something when they can, even a quid every couple of months is better than nothing, obviously donations are a voluntary thing, then get stuff like forum banners and flags for the shows and we can start getting together as a club at the events all over the uk as and when they pop up

need advice with my headlights
are you sure the fogging is inside, a lot of lenses can go funky on the outside, ford focus ones and hyundai coupe ones get really bad, if it's the outside then you can wet and dry with some 2000 grit paper, wet not dry, then as you are a detailer you will get a great finish with a machine polisher and some megs 105 then megs 205 and the correct pads for the compounds you can heat them up in the oven to soften the glue then split, clean and reseal preheat to 250 and go in 5 min increments. too little is no problem, too long and you'll end up with a melted lens and you'll have to buy a new light. put it on something, baking try ar similar, just go slow when you're opening it and don't use any jerking motions, it's very easy to crack the lens/housing/clips especially when they're warm. when resealing them i found either tiger seal or Loctite 5699 premium grey silicone, the Loctite stuff is superb for most jobs and i haven't yet found anything that comes close to doing the same job make sure you wear oven mitts when handling the hot lights, sounds obvious but it's amazing how many people forget also the classic impreza lights have some serious glue on them, if the bugeyes are the same you may get away with using the original sealant.

Get Audio system out of 'Security'
yeh, me and dogma are just discussing this now, i've had a few VW's that have various parts in the car coded into the immobiliser system, if the radio has been used from another forester then this could be the issue, the car will still work as normal but the part that doesn't belong in that loop won't work as it could be stolen so the car has rendered it immobile, some dealers will code it in for you some won't, could be the issue you have, not sure if subie's have the same setup but it's a possibility, it's on VW's after 2001

Engine oil viscosity
fully synthetic is best, in the warmer months 10/60 is fine, in colder weather 5/40 is best, if you service every 6 months then just alternate the 2 oils through the year, semi synthetic is ok but i would try and get fully in as often as possible
