burnt oil odur
Id contact whoever you bought the car from and tell them somethings amiss, Thats not right at all for it to be loosing all otd oil means theres a big hole crack in the block. Or a major seal missing amd when it's running its just pumping it out

Your Opinion on Badges?
Personal preference mate, if you like it and want on stick it on. At the end of the day it's your car and balls to everyone else ! Maybe mount it with something temporary stand back have a look and see what you think, that way if you don't like it or want to move it at least you can easily

burnt oil odur
When you say oil from under the car you mean it's lost it all from the sump or it's loosing it all from the underside ? When you dip the stick is there any left ? Does your car have the undertray attached may be pooling on there and dripping out. If it does is it coming from the front of the tray or the rear of it ?

Rear suspension thoughts
I'm in the process of doing mine this week. Good indicator or how dead they are is to lift the rear arch by hand and let go not very scientific but you get the idea. Or get a tape measure and go from the inner lower edge of the rim to the body work. Not sure about your ride hieght at standard but mines 660mm Currently measuring 610mm :-( Which ever bod changed mine they only did one side so its the other one thats had it. tut tut ! It's not so noticable on mine as they stuck spring spacers on it

Lambda sensor
If the lambda is unplugged you should be getting a cel light come up. Is it stored as an historical fault What did the old one look like when it came out ? Normally you can see how bad the condition is. Either that or the wires tend to go. Maybe the maff on its way out?

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Usual stuff with smaller number plate finishers and bits like that. Usually has better standard equiment, more power don't have an alarm fitted as standard. Mine has large forester on the back instead of subaru lettering. The chassis numbers are shorter plus it's a 97 car, will say on your v5 if unsure too

What have you done to your Subaru today ?
Good thing about mine being an import all the electrics are in the doors,where as uk cars I've seen have window and other switches plus low ratio box gubbins in the centre. 4 screws and the lots un done and out. Unfortunately none if my replacement parts have arrived this weekend due to courier incompetence so I've been sat twiddling my thumbs :'(

Does the Impreza WRX 06 model have the same exhaust as the Impreza WRX STI GB270
I suggest you find somome with one and ask them for a ride, They are loud as hell and may be alright on a few video clips but it may get a bit too much if it's your daily drive obviously I don't know your circumstances but if you went a head and got one fitted and hated it in a coiple of weeks it's a lot of hassle and cash to put right
