05 STi Newbie
I am now officially a Scooby owner, picked up my new crystal grey STi yesterday. 1000 miles is going to be a long time coming. I haven't had time to become one with the car yet, however a couple of things that someone could confirm or give advise on. The first being the speakers are so crap, I could not believe it, I guess that they are just not powerful enough, what is the best route to change these??
The second thing is the gearbox is pretty tight and very difficult to engage second gear when going from 3rd/4th down to 2nd, is this usual in a new car? will it loosen up?

welcome to the Club, 
there are Two normal quotes off 'Newbies' 
1 Never spend any more money on Mods
2. The STD Exhuast sounds too loud
Gear change losens up after a time and when warm

Snap same as me!
Speakers are crap...The gearbox will loosen up. Have you gone for the PPP??
I would recommend it, although would advise that you wait until 1000 miles or later.
Enjoy!

Excellent sound staging and separation. If you just want volume the non Kappa Infinity's are around £120
