As reported previously by floz

I'm assuming this is a UK car and the PIN pad is for a sigma alarm. The BIU has a number of fused power supplies as shown below and the sigma alarm will also be fused. In a Newage Impreza the alarm is usually piggybacked off of a fused circuit but in the Legacy (like the Hatch and later saloon) would think it's integrated with the BIU supplies/outputs. I would certainly check all the fuses, under the bonnet and also by drivers right knee.

Nothing a can't handle with the occassional boost/condition ??

Get her to try without using the fob.

There is no unlock button on the car - it's for locking only. Sounds as if she is opening the door with the emergency key which doesn't cancel the alarm. To open (whilst having the fob on person) just put hand into front door handle and open door. This action should cancel the alarm at the same time. To lock car and set alarm, just close doors and press button on door handle.

Yes.

Where's the knock coming from ?, as the rear suspension is totally different to the newage. Looking at the 2018 KYB catalogues their supply for Subaru vehicles is very limited now. Could it be a consequence of the spring change?

They do both http://www.p3cars.com/subaru/wrx-sti-08-14-p3-multi-gauge/

Looks good

The 330S was alway made good torque as shown by this one at a 2013 RR day ar Powerstation. A different type of rolling road (Maha) compared to Scoobyclinic (Dyno Dynamics) which has always gives lower read outs when compared.

The map on the early STi Hatches was refreshed by Subaru due to top end fuelling problems. The 330S being a Prodrive upgrade was AFAIK not refreshed. The 340R upgrade for the MY11 on cars, not being a Prodrive product (possibly done by EcuTek ?? who knows) had a few glitches for some.

The more significant figure is the torque (approx) 380 ftlb @ 4000 rpm.

From "across the pond" 8 yrs ago. Picture was taken to reference the roadpilot rather than the boost gauge https://j-spectuning.com/collections/analog-gauges/products/45mm-electrical-boost-gauge-white-needle-red-backlight Don't forget you have curtain airbags so it is somewhat frowned upon on fitting A pillar pods which is why Subaru and Zerosports mounted their gauges on the combimeter binnacle.

Floz wearing sunglasses ? - you're on candid camera ?

If correct.... On sale in IM's ebay shop, fragile and the sort of thing right up your street ?

Quote from another subaru forum on the subject "By the way, my car occasionally shudders a wheel. Usually at low speed in parking lots. Often while running over some form of debris or manhole cover. Just a bit of 4WD wind-up undoing itself." Can be caused by tyres having different circumferences due to wear (Normal to replace all four tyres together and rotate front to back annually)

Rolling the dice, and maybe having a continguency fund for a rebuild. Have had my 2010 MY11 saloon since new and it's 8 years old on Monday (5th). Has run with Subaru's Pro-R performance upgrade (340BHP/360Lbft) since May 2011.(4800 miles) Had to have the head gaskets replaced and bottom end refreshed in June 2016 (47422 miles) as the heads had started to lift under boost. In my case the ringlands were fine. Not all suffer, seems to be a bit pot luck and whether the car has been run in properly and run sympathetically, or modified during its life.

Looking at the parts database and Opposedforces the 6MT wasn't used until the MY05 (late 2004-mid2005) with the 3.0RB model. Using the above diagram the linkage bushes and spacers ( part numbers in circles) 1,2,4 and 6 are the same as MY06/07 Hawkeye WRX STI The stay bushing item 42 is unique (probably in rubber compound) for the Legacy, although probably makes no difference if going to poly. http://shop.scoobyclinic.com/Perrin?product_id=732

By using your knob you are also disconnecting the alarm.........

And now Swindon Engines (BTCC engine suppliers) have taken it to the next level.
