life after first service
Had my sti in for it's first service last week and now loving being able to give it some now and then 
but what I have noticed is that when doing around 95mph there is a lot of whistle from around the drivers side wind screen / door window area, any ideas?
I have started using V-Power and I'm sure that I can tell the car pulls more smoothly with it.
Also might consider PPP for it and I know the pack costs £1700 but can you get dealers to get this price down, if so what should I be looking at paying, just a note my local dealer (newcastle) has closed down and my nearset dealer is in Hexham.

Whistle is frameless door seal. Can sometimes make very loud raspberry in crosswinds at speed. Has made me jump a couple of times.

lol, wait till you hear it at something like 130 about 6" from your right ear and sounding like a 'buzzsaw', you'll wish you'd had an SL with leather seats..!

One friendly subaru service-man told me that the window can bend a bit because it is no frame and then it doesn't sit "perfectly".
So I always try to not to touch/push the window when opening/closing the door - and tbh, the situation didn't get worse

Me too. I thought that someone was beeping me, but then realized that it was impossible.

Wind noise
Mine gets alot of wind noise around the drivers door. 
All I do is drop the window an inch or so and then put it back up.
Doesn't do it anymore.
I suppose that it shouldn't do it but hey it's easy for me to get rid of so I don't fuss about it.
