Picked up my new STI 05 today :-)
After some months wait it was time to pick up my new STI today :-)
In Sweden it is called Petter Solberg Edition II and features boostmeter and Petter Solberg logo on the trunk.
After a half day of driving I can just say Good I love this car :-) The gas response is real good. The traction is outstanding. It´s real hard to hold myself not to puch the throttle to much :-)
I will post up some pictures later because just after 5 minutes the car was not clean. The car is black pearl and looks beautiful in the sun and real descrete at night.
Unfortinaly I have to wait for next year to EcuTek the car bacause no one in Sweden has the equipment to do it for the 05 ECU :-(
Regards
J

Sounds like a nice motor - and in the best colour too 
If it makes you feel any better, my '05 STI was filthy after 1 day, had a scuff in the paintwork after 2 days and a chipped windscreen after 4
I've not had much luck so far...

I'm surprised there's a problem mapping the '05 ECU - I don't think any new hardware is needed, just maybe a software update. The map is created by the tuner, not by Ecutek, so they should be free to create an optimal map for your car and fuel.

The UK 'Petter Solberg edition' (Ie WR1) was an 04 car though?
This isn't the (non WR1) Petter Solberg edition the Euro importers have been bringing in to the UK, its an 05 car.
