New Owner Help Please
Hi All,
Just picked up a 2006, 56 plate WRX STL Eagle Eye.
Apart from me grining until my gums bleed when I half tried the power near home, a few questions you could help with.
The steering makes a funny noise, feels notchy when on full lock when trying to park, normal?
The car is hard to set off in first gear, clutch very snatchy, normal? (I have to get used to it etc)?

The centre diff can cause clucking when manoeuvring at low speed.
The clutch is very heavy in Scoobs and can be troublesome until your leg gets used to it.
Fogs are easily retro-fitted and available from the dealers, the main question is WHY ? On all my cars over the years, I have probably used front fogs legally and to any practical benefit three or four times at most. Spend money on worthwhile handling, suspension and chassis mods to make your powerful car faster to drive and safer for you and others

You can't do that. It's either fog surrounds or covers. They don't fit over each other AFAIK. You can fit the lights without surrounds and then put the covers over them, but at 5am on a cold misty morning, I certainly couldn't be bothered walking around the car clipping body panels on/off and trying to store them so they don't get scratched.

Its not something I would do a lot of granted, but some mornings its been very difficult to even see the white lines. If its to difficult, I wont bother, but if its simple to do, why not lol

On the steering, it did feel a bit like diflock on a truck is on, like the car didnt want to follow the direct the steering wheel is pointing but it does and feels rough. This is only when parking and on full lock.
