Still have'nt actually put my foot down properly in all gears, get a bit worried i might get caught out with speed and the old bill! Loved my sti though, had it for 5 years and cant see myself ever having anything other than a scooby now! You got a wr1 aswell?

Yes mate ive had 481 for about a month now. The only impreza ive owned was a bugeye WRX 6 years ago and it was shite. Id only ever wanted a WR1 but couldnt afford so settled for 10th best lol BIG mistake, still got here in the end. Funny you mention 1st and 2nd because it was only the other week i had properly used them and its just crazy quick. Addictive and expensive but what the hell. Its also fun to increase your speed in 3rd behind someone and then when that turbo is spinning BANG see ya
Im going to have to get the car out in a min and go for a spin, im smiling just at the thought of it, FANTASTIC car.
Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2012 3:28 pmYeah me 2 always wanted one but way to much to spend 5 years ago so got the sti instead! Just looks soooo much nicer aswell with the colour and wheels and the inside is lush! Love the sound aswell! Have u used the rear diff yet coz i aint yet really, thought would be better leaving off for every day road driving? 
Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2012 4:44 pmI have to be honest and say no, just leave it in auto. Im too scared to break anything lol

Posted: Wed Sep 12, 2012 8:23 pmThanks for all the welcomes, feel like part of the "family" now! Im from Chichester (near Portsmouth). Yeah im the same with the diff about leaving it alone, think its more for the track! Read its better in auto for acceleration which is what excites me!!!
Any peeps on here at trax couple weeks back?

It's good to see a local owner - most on here are rich northerners

You could walk to Revival from your place (or ask Lord March to send a helicopter for you!
).
I've got my ticket for Sunday- should be good and weather looks like being drier than last year.
