Translation:
Brakes branded as (fake) 'Brembo'...of substandard quality.
Not worthy of fitting to a cooking model...let alone a high-performance vehicle.

6th Gear ratio
Anyone any real world experience of how JDM & UK hatch STI's compare on 6th gear ratios?
The specs are:
Both share the same final drive ratio of 3.9:1
the UK's 6th gear is 0.707/26.6
and the JDM's 0.842
Whatever all that means...?
I noticed motorway revs are highish in the JDM, be interested to know if the UK car is more relaxed

Auto+ in snow, auto- when dry with bends, auto otherwise, occasionally play with traction /stability but tend to leave alone most of the time

When I remove my petrol cap to refill the tank I get a release of pressure as in whooshing. I will try and record it next time I fill up. Should the tank be pressurised?

Yes, excess fuel is circulated back to the tank and there will always be vapour in the tank which is what you release when opening the cap.

its quite common I think every car I’ve ever owned had done it occasionally

Well I have either been waiting a long time a car to be built (now given up waiting for that phone call), or actively looking to either be messed about or pipped to the sale....
That said I think I’ll give it up as a bad job and move on from Subaru. Been looking now for 5 months and in that time I’ve only seen two I liked but they’ve been snapped up by dealers - now asking 3k more. So bollox to it, I think it’s time for something different unless someone on here is selling a nice sorted hatch?
