All I want to know is did Subaru fix the oil pressure issue?

I was also thinking that when I think of addressing the Toyobaru's weak spots, the brake rotors & calipers wouldn't be in my top 10. The bigger brakes will help with out-of-the-showroom track performance and may have better longevity, but with a set of track-usable pads the standard Toyobaru brakes are quite adequate.

I thought it was a RTV issue, which caused an oil pressure issue.

Not just that, the FA24 also has even worse oil starvation issues than the FA20.

That was one of the problems, but there's still starvation issues with high G cornering from what I understand.

The Subaru engine is what keeps me from wanting one of these.

I agree, put a Honda "K" series engine in it and I would love it.
