Driving fast != racing. Driving on bumpy roads != rally. If that's how you justify claiming damage under warranty so you sleep better at night, good for you, but people that race their cars then claim the damage they've caused are the people that make it a nightmare for everyone else to get warranty work done.

I'm not saying that your problem is necessarily caused by autocross or rallycross, if it's not it should be covered. I'm just saying that you're walking a really thin moral line by rallying that thing and acting like Subaru owes you if it breaks. I'd suggest if you want to rally, get a truck, trailer, and used rally car, and have at it. Or, suck it up and realize that when your STI breaks (and it will) it's your bill, not Subaru's. Pay to play. IMO, anything more than the occational autocross or driver's ed track day is outside of what the car was intended for.
