If you're getting LIDAR from behind you are so entirely and absolutely toast. Basically a pointless scenario for trying to detect, as above laser alerts are usually just ticket notifications and if you get one from behind, quadruply so. I used to run a relatively high end hardwired detector (well it was high end once upon a time, now it's hopelessly outdated by things like the Unidens) and I didn't even bother installing the rear laser sensor.

Yeah most cars patrolling the highways are running radar. From memory they're still on the super ancient Stalker Dual DSR. There has been a huge uptick in the use of stationary Laser though - maybe heaps of cars have radar detectors now, or the various cruise radars interfere with the Police ones? From following a patrol car for a while it's surprising how often the display goes to "RF" meaning it's got some sort of interference going on.

Ok fill me in here but IMO rear is a complete waste of time? If you're getting pinged from behind with radar and you're still going too fast then you are a big stupidhead and should receive a ticket? If you get pinged from behind with laser and you're going too fast you're getting a ticket anyway. But I have literally never seen an enforcement situation where they were clocking cars from behind.

Like nominally yes, but if a TT Leggy has made it to 2026 without letting go then it's probably fine. I don't think a single human has ever put a Link in a Legacy and kept it twin turbo, ha.

While it's novel, there would be very very few 90s Subarus still on the road that didn't either have zero need for reflashing, or already having an aftermarket ECU, given the excellent availability and affordability of things like Links.

Man air soldering or nothing when it comes to SMC. Especially small ones. Way too easy to f up the board or lift a trace.

AFAIK (G4 owner) the CANBUS support came along with the G4+. G3 could be software upgraded to be largely G4, G4 can't be upgraded to G4+ sadly.

Could be the belt is glazed and needs changing regardless. Also could be an issue with the starter?

Not so much a kit but if you bought all the bits from Amayama it would likely be much cheaper and all genuine parts. You just have to know what you're shopping for.

SAS too but they're in Christchurch. There aren't heaps of tuners and you've basically listed them. EDIT: Still stuck on that 300whp number eh. Make sure whoever does the tune is happy to fudge the TCF to get you a number that makes you happy.

How the heck does someone conclude "cambelt snapped" without visually confirming the snapped cambelt ;/

Unfortunately that's raw ChatGPT from a spam bot and probably has nil value

For what it's worth I'd quite like one of the HKS, how much are you after for it? I'd offer to work a deal with my XForce which is quite loud but it's had the end flange changed to a V-Band so probably not what you're looking for.

The boat is winking at me real suggestively right now though.
