Let me run the Carista app again later and see if there's the option to tilt instead of slide open with the windows. I have the beta version of all the latest and greatest so I think it should be there if it's available.
@BMGS I think the silver lip broke up the black perfectly, looks a lot better
I don't think the RC F wheels fit the GS the best though IMO, I think it's the spoke design or the way the offset appears, idk
I always forget you have a 200t until I see your sig. I wonder if you make more torque than us 350 owners
Thanks, it definitely does look better although I can see myself switching it between the two looks. I'm figuring out the best way to have a jig or compass to quickly and precisely apply the paint and learning a lot about pinstriping on the way.
There are three types of RC-F wheels and the other two are likely more fitting for the GS but I do like the design of these wheels and how they fit the car. The GS-F wheels are very expensive whereas I found these for 1/3 of the usual RC-F wheel price so I had to jump on them for a 10" OEM forged wheel. The offset is great for me in the rear but the front can use 10-15mm of spacing. Even on the RC-F that's a chief complaint and it looks much better with spacers. I agree in other photos/setups I have seen, the rear offset looks too low but its just right in person.
Its bench racing at its finest but according to various dyno charts I've seen of tuned 200ts vs. the 350s, there's about 50 more ft. lbs. of torque at around 3000 rpm.

Yeah, for 1/3 of the price I would have picked em up too. That's a great deal.
And smh, 50 more ft. lbs. of torque at 3000 rpm? Should I have picked up a 200t and tuned it?
It's not always fun having to rev the 350 past 4000 rpm for peak torque, I'm always breaking the speed limit by then

It's a different feeling when u hear the 350 engine sings at those RPM man but yeah we're in "jail territory" already there.

I am very happy with the 200t but there still is some initial lag that would turn-off many drivers. The tune helps for sure and I would love to have it optimized for water injection at some point to pull some more power. Its perfect for my suburban, non-highway driving but in the stock setup, the torque dosen't carry to the higher rpms, hence the lower horsepower than the 350. That can likely be mitigated with a larger turbo but then you are looking at exhaust modifications and the last thing I want is to have a loud 4 cylinder. Price-wise it made a lot of sense since it was about 13K cheaper than a 350 at the time.
Right? The induction noise climbing from 4000 is heavenly
Then the tranny shifts at 6500 and kills the mood lol
6800 on my 2019. So my mood lasts just a bit longer. But in most cases, it does shifts at around 6500-6600 though. In fact, I only experienced it once where it went past 6800 and just a hair under 7000 before it auto upshifts. I was like.. whoa car, calm down boii!! Ur bone stock over here.

Nothing a few more pounds of Boost won't fix. That's the good thing about Boosted.
Okay, Carista doesn't have the option to choose between tilt or open the sunroof with the keyfob. It's either opens fully with the windows or not, like what we have right now. Anyone that claims different, please provide more info.
Got my GS a 'lil brother GR. My 19 yr old son could not be happier!
I love these little cars. Keep an eye on your oil - there have been issues reported of Subaru using excessive RTV sealant to gasket the oil pan, which clogs the oil return and has, anecdotally, resulted in a catastrophic loss of oil pressure. All of the major automotive press outlets have recently picked up the story, which includes a noted reticence from Toyota to warranty destroyed engines.
