Smile Proud new owner beginning the long tuning route

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, my name is jack Roderick. I have been reading various threads on this forum for over a year now longing for the day to post one of my own well here goes.

I have just purchased a 2010 red sti hatch with a prodrive kit which I will collect Thursday/Friday next week, I love it and can't wait to start the learning curve of subaru owner ship. I fully appreciate you guys probably have forgotten more than I know about these cars hence my joining.

I'm by no means new to the world of tuning cars but certainly new to the Japanese market and the 4wd market. Well that's enough rambling this was simply a formal hello before the bombardment of question come .

May I say in advance thank you very much for all the information and help I'm sure ill receive from all of you.

As a sneaky first question my hatch only has the povo spec head unit and I would like something more aesthetically pleasing as well as functional any recommendations for replacements will be appreciated money isn't an issue as long as its worth it, also where do I buy the fascia plate for the aftermarket replacement.

I'm not certain if this is the latest ones out as Austrailia and USA get new models first iirc

This has limited app compatibility maybe worth a google and ask on a car audio forum. First IMHO

There is also an ICE section here link below and probably better to ask the question there

Omega pistons , cosworth pistons or wiesco would be a preferred choice mate.
