HELP NEEDED ALREADY ..QUICKLY...PLEASE
hi chaps.
was wondering if u could possibly help me. on saturday i bought a sti 8 prodrive uk, 2003 model.
its done 24k and is like new.i took it to the scooby clinic on saturday which is 260 miles away from where i live but was on the way home from where i bought the car so i thought i wud just. they put it on their rolling road and after they sorted a few issues out its now doing everything it should, but i have noticed something this morning, when i am driving it in 6th and the boost comes in at just over 3200 revs the cars seems to shake a little bit only for a few secs untill you get it to abt 3600 revs. im not sure if they all do this. i cant get it to do it in any other gear. i have phoned several specialist of whom no ones heard of it. its under warranty but i dont hold out much hope in my local dealer.
thanks for your help.

You need to take it to one of the recommended dealers, closest one to me that id recommend is Prosport in stockport, possably THE best dealer ive ever been to (for any car!)
