Sti hatch likely to be released based on last years mktor show demo and close to patients. BRZ to enter Japan rally this year in 4wd, no indication that there will ne road going version. But this is the second time that a factory 4wd drive BRZ has been made.   on track from a couple of weeks ago.

GF8 Top wing : asking NZD$30   https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/subaru-impreza-gf8-wrx-spoiler-wing     (I've not personally not tested just seen & shared here from a FB group the author posted it etc)

Latest board for TPMS or any wifi and/or Bluetooth to canbus board arrived on Monday. Made the first one today and it seems ok so far. Needs testing for canbus side but I’ve tested previous boards with the same design so it should be ok. Have enough processors to make 9 as I think one maybe DoA.   This board while for TPMS has 8 IO pins and power on a set of plugs. The same JST ones link have inside their ecus.  So anyone can customise them and write their own code in arduino or similar. There is a listen only option and the canbus is powered off on boot just to be safe. One option is use the open source project for canbus sniffer over wifi. That way you can install it once and then use it whenever needed without tying up the diag OBDii port.   A couple are being sent off to be Bluetooth to wifi bridges for home assistant. This is for a house but I know people have added a wifi bridge to their car so when it’s in the garage it reports voltages for battery and oil temps in snowy climates. Batteries can include EV charging if it have canbus.   Works on 12 and should also work on 24v as input takes up to 30v and protection kick in just below 32v.   Case is IP67 and antenna and wiring can be sealed up very well. One is a panel mount, the other is a pole (aka roll cage) mount. The board fits in either case. That about 8-10cm long and 5-7cm long with mounting tab. Antenna is just a standard SMA male like a home internet router so you can fit a big or small antenna depending on use case. Stubby ones are about 3cm, home router ones are 15-20cm.   This was the first time trying a stencil for a pcb and it was far quicker. It’s like screen printing but with solder paste. Lay the stencil and wipe the paste over and it coats all the pads for the components. PCBway charges a lot for them but JLCpcb charges for size. I figured out that making the stencil smaller is not only cheaper but if it fits in the regular box doesn’t increase shipping. Small box is around 18x16cm once they add bubble wrap. Making it usd$7 at JLC vs usd$30 for PCBway just for stencil.

Subarus 2025 patent application  japanese https://www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/c1801/DE/JP-2025-019542/30/ja English https://www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/d0200   is it possible the scoop is purely aero. As in the air goes in the scoop and exits across the whole windscreen? With a smaller slot to the engine bay so it create a vacuum. That would make it a front mount intercooler, low mount turbo and rotated intake manifold. Given the low mount front turbos seen on recent models it is possible.
