Default 03 STI cold start problem

Posting on behalf of a friend, when he starts the car from cold it runs really rough until it warms up, once warm it runs great. Plugs have been changed which made no difference. Car has been scanned and no faults were stored. Looking forward to any replies cheers Jay

Definately not normal because it runs reel bad, almost undriveable. I also a 54 plate sti and it runs fine from cold. Jay

My 03 STi starts and runs fine from cold, most of the problems I have is when it's hot and then it won't start over properly. I take it there is no smoke coming out of the exhaust when this is happening?
