Question

Does anyone know if the WRX 03 have a steering lock? Ive turned the steering wheel after pulling my key out and it just seems to turn.
Can anyone owning a wrx 03 confirm same condition?
Not that it bothers me as i fit a disklock each time i lock the car but just curious as i have never come across this condition before. First scoob though. Car goes in for 1k service on thursday can't wait...temptation to floor it has been killing me. Look out this weekend.
Cheers

It's not just me then - ten weeks on and I haven't found the steering lock yet !
With the engine off, I haven't tried turning the wheel round too far, because of the force needed.
I'll try tonight.
