Default From a WRX to a STI

Most irritating thing and will take a while to get used to...
Why the hell is the main meter, is a rev meter in the centre and the smaller one on the right is the speedometer.
I keep staring at the rev meter, to check my speeds.

I put Sti clocks in my WRX, takes a bit of getting used to. Hope you have set your gearchange limiter up.

Yeah, theres a second trip adjuster on the left hand side of the clocks. You flick it left or right to raise or lower the revs you want it to light up at. You can also choose whether to have a buzzer sound or not.

Yeah, mines a hawk wrx and the rev counter is in the middle. It was the same on the v4 STI I had as well, an STI trait that has found its way into the wrx cars...

Blob WRX's have the rev counter in the middle but DON'T have the RPM warning feature, That was only available on the STI model,

Bug STI's are the same as above but the WRX has the speedo in the middle

Im selling my bug, have had it nearly a year. No one wants to pay 2500 though when you can get a blobeye for 2500 to 2995.
