Tactile enhancement :shock: :shock: :shock:
If your pinkies were getting cramp all the time there is the paddle on the wheel you know!
serious though I always thought that it was a cheap gimmick to let people think it was a BMW similar idea, wether or not you think the Si drive is needed or not it really only ever needed to be on the wheel
The plasticky quality of the knob is terrible so a vast improvement Jim rice or not

Glad you like your cap, just like we l-o-v-e our bumperettes :wink:
Actually I believe the cap could well detract in a MY08, due to the darker accents in the doors and dash.
Possibly they changed the shading of the OEM Si cap to be in cinque.
As for functionality, I can not remember the last time I used the dial.
OMGmobile is normally in S Drive, and use the steering wheel tab to bring on the fun factor.

Incidentally, the mornings are becoming cooler, which means the :D is getting bigger :lol:

Sure, but it'll come to the point where your thumb will start cramping up press the steering wheel button. :D

I would rather Subaru put buttons in place of a dial.

But the MY07 STi's have charcoal trim interior as well. However the dials on the head unit is metallic silver, so this kind fits in with the theme. It's not everything is black or charcoal and you have this metal dial sticking out conspicuously. :P

PM sent! But let's just say no one will be silly enough to get one so I will retain my exclusiveness. :?

According to RallySport Direct, Prova do not produce them anymore due to low demand. When i inquired about them they said i'd have to purchase 50 in order for Prova to do another batch.

Who knows if this is fact or not.
