I'm guessing the answer will be to take it to Subaru to see if it has the 340 map... but aside from that is there any other way to tell?!
Cheers.

They can’t block GPS only mobile GSM
It know it’s stolen it knows where it is but no signal find the aerial find the unit
A lad had his car stolen, One tracker system tried to charge £200 + for all the calls made to Delhi & premium porn lined using the SiM out of Unit.

I got the tools out today gave it a bit of a sand down with 80grit to start then 180grit got the filler out , primed it and then a few dustings of topcoat .
Its not a great colour match but an improvement on what was there previously .
cracking job looks like we will be asking mates rates to fix ours

In view of living in a very low crime rate area, usually garaged every night, decided to discontinue Scorpion track monitoring two years ago (agreed by insurer). Now have the back up of a Stoplock Elite steering wheel bar, plus Faraday pouches for the keyless fobs...
95% of insurers will NOT give any discount if tracker is fitted and under 25% insist you have one.
Which shows the reliabity of them.
And not cheap to buy or run.
You can buy 1, 2, 3 or lifetime Subs, but if sell the car its, non transferable. one owner and one car deal. lose it all.
Only a joy riding moron key jacker would get caught by tracking device that uses GSM a mobile Sim.
IMHO. Avoid ALL unless dirt cheap.

i had had all the ones fitted to uk scoobs. The best ive had is scorpiontrack.
although hopfully if stolen they find the orginal OEM fitted unit first and not the new working one.
issue with trackers ll use GSM as coms back to base, so issue if no signal
if you dont need a tracker get blackjax and steering wheel crook lock.
technical thingd easier to overcome rather than mechanical.
void thumbprint or optical as they can have knives.

I've done a search but can't find anything, so, what oil would people recommend?!
Doing an oil and filter on my 2008 STI in the next week or so, as well as diff and gearbox oil just to be sure. I'm going to go for Millers gear oil but not sure on the engine as I've seen so many different recommendations!
RCM say they use 15w50 but that seems a little extreme?!
Help me out please!
i always use Fuch pro race fully synthetic 15w50 on tweaked Sti 2.5ltr and high tuned 2.0trs. As advised by some tuners. But PPP 2.0ltr WRX 2.5ltr ok on 15w40. I dare say 15w40 would be ok in above. I have used Motul.
6 years thrashing my Hawk T20 around tracks it never complained. i changed it either just before or just after a trackday, depending on milliage. So my average oil change was 1,200 miles.
Now my T25 430bhp has an oil cooler and less temperature variation, my oil changes are more like 1,700-2,000 miles.
My 2011 2.5 370bhp has forged pistons so be OK 15W40 but its run on Fuch 15W50 as easier to keep one oil
Cost of oil, filter labour under￡70, so peanuts compared to a rebuild. So most people get given some advice and if works out, they stick to that plan, even if technically incorrect.

Is that a straight fit front and rear or do I also need special brackets? Also having wheels refurbished so be a great idea to put some new rubber on what’s best tyre these days?
Karl
Will depend on your disc sizes on WRX compaired to the STi,
if diferent will/may need Sti backplates if disks/calipers foul your WRX ones. but fixings wise otherwise should be a straight swap
as above PS4's
do a youtube search

Yes brembos are an upgrade as yours is a WRX you’d need to get PCD 100 version which Is off a Sti 01-04 uk car.
Sti 05 has PCD 114
brembo are bulky so depends on size of wheel and webbing of wheel
