I had a Knocklink fitted just for peace of mind (my last car had a big end failure and I want to be very sure it doesn't happen to this one!) - but it just sits there doing not a lot. I'm sure it may become more active once I've finished running in, but all I've seen is the bottom green light so far.

Andy - it's lovely and in my fave colour - very jealous.
There are only 2 things that I would change - the Gold wheels I would want to be Anthracite and I would have to have the STi front splitter that looks sooooooooo mean on all of Ian Litchfields cars!

Definitely getting better 
The same thing happened when I bought my Westfield - on the drive home it felt so sensitive I found it all but uncontrollable. After a week or so I was quite at home with it and just moaning about the crap turning circle!
It's just the running-in that's winding me up now, I've still got 630 miles left to do before the oil change and playtime

Thought the new centre console would show up a lot more, nice head unit too BTW.

I'm not a great lover of gold wheels but they do look really good against the black. Nice car indeed!
What boost level do Power Station remap the Litchfield STI's to, is it just a re-map for UK fuel or a bit more than that?

It's sold as a UK fuel conversion, but it does increase power over the standard output too. Bear in mind that, as it comes from Japan, it's artificially limited to 280PS by reducing torque at high rpm - and there's no reason to keep doing that!

Thought that might be the case.
Mine is in silver with gold wheels, I love the silver but the missus hates the combination so will probably get the wheels refinished in a bright silver or similar.

The interior has come such a long way since the classic - better than a lot of top German stuff I would say.
Really top car there
Balance weights on the outside of the wheels is criminal, dont know why they do that

Subaru have always done that. My MY00 came with weights on the outside, though it didn't look quite so nasty with the wheels being silver.
