Hi everyone i posted a thread in new members section last week but i picked up my STI on saturday so thought i would post here too.

 

 

53k on the clock, great service history most from subaru garages cambelt was done at 46k. It has the prodrive package and has DCCD.

has 2 mods, HKS Dump valve and a rear backbox unsure what make, also have the prodrive backbox as well.

 

drives really nice and pulls like a train.

 

couple of questions i have.

 

1) headunit it not standard its a kenwood one, now is it the speakers that are really crap or is it the headunit output? because my astra mk4 van that you see next to my subaru has better standard speakers.

Is there any decent direct fit speakers i can get to update the sound abit? just sounds so tinny.

 

2) on all of the service history i cant see anything being done with the diff / gearbox oil. its on 53k do you think its worth doing a oil change ? or shall i wait for the next service which is feb 2015.

 

3) DCCD mode, when is this supposed to be used? i dont think i will touch it but just interested.

 

Hope to attend some shows/meets with you guys in the future.

Congrats on the purchase can't see any pics?

The factory speakers are rubbish. Don't know of any direct fit but there's bound to be adapters and such to fit after market speakers.

Haven't bothered with it myself at present.

Prob worth getting the service dome so you start with the car in the best possible shape.

This thread has info on I drive and the DCCD.

Very very nice really like the colour :)

awesome car - Pete has covered it all ;)

Looks like a stunner mate. nice buy that from the pictures. And yep I 2nd jays comment think Petes covered it all :) 

Thanks chaps.

Ill look into some speakers then, is it doorcard off job or do the speaker protectors just pop off.

It's door cards off on the Impreza unfortunately not too big of a job though :)

Oh really :/ hate taking door cards off will have a look thanks.

Yep as said before door cards off but really easy mate :) And might need Speaker spacers if you want to use deeper speakers otherwise the windows hit them when fully down.

I've posted the wrong workshop manual it's for the 2008.

Gambit do have a link for the 2005?
