I did not know but the 2008 up hatches have 2 little rubber buttons to open them o the hatch itself. one is the middle that opens the actual hatch. But it’s just the hatch and common. the other is under the same trim but at the very right next to the tail light and it unlocks the doors. so you can open the doors for everyone without having to use the remote.

Don't go cheap with the clutch. Exedy work pretty well for me... I've used 3, 4 and 5 puk... 3 or 4 puk is more likely to hold up to launches, but not sure if available in NZ. The HD option is not suitable for launching even with standard power from my experience.

Depends on how much you want to ride the clutch etc. I when with twin plate due to lower operating force but higher torque. id get a spring centre one even if you go puk. Just that little bit nicer on drive line.

Sony gps touch screens one seem to be popular on here for replacement units. you can either go all in one replacement android units from China. or get the double DIN surround so any common stereo unit fits. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/subaru/interior/listing/3883430991?bof=Kyx20DpK most now have either a select car option that setups up the steering wheel buttons or has a mode to learn buttons. though ring Subaru head office, dealers are not exactly helpful and they may offer you something where a dealer can’t or won’t bother. edit: added link to din converter panel

Engine long block is together. has RCM head gaskets fitted, plus all the other RCM parts that were ordered. rest of parts list is being priced up and then it’ll get fitted to the car early next year.

Pop ye bonnet, and get a buddy to listen near the brake master cylinder as you depress the brake . I recon Gripless is onto it.

It is currently parked at my house, but i no longer own it. Over the stuff it already had, the new owner has upgraded the brakes, put 700hp worth of turbos on it (kept them parallel), new fuel system and G4 ecu. Absolute monster now At 8psi it spins all the tires in 3rd gear... Getting tuned for full boost next week

wasnt optical the owner of it, black rsk b4?

I have a 2017 Subaru 3.6R with the Starlink unit. GPS failed (Satellite receives signal but does not show the correct location) and now the screen is failing with visible grid lines and degrading touch responsivity - apparently a common problem. Main dealer quoted me a fantastic $11,500 to replace which is $1000 more than than the very nice BMW my son just bought and the reason I will sadly not buy a third Subaru. I've had the unit inspected by a good car electirc specialist and it's not repairable. Any recommendations for an after-market replacement unit that would integrate with the steering wheel controls. I'm not bothered about GPS as this Starlink UI is pretty grim anyway.
