Drive it easy for 200 miles or so with stop and go. Then after that you are fine to drive it how you like. Just don't hold at high rpms for the first 500 miles or so but you can definitely get on it. They just put them 1000 mile under 3500 rpm for liability reasons and morons that don't know what they are doing.
Does anyone know how to get a 2011 Wrx owners manual online?

It will come with the car.
08 Sti, Stage 2 Protune.
what would you like to know.
Do you have the VIN? You can use the VIN to register at my https://www.subaru.com/my-subaru/aud...inmethod=email & the manual is available there.

Well, the car was accidentally not loaded on the truck, so now I am waiting another week....I waited ten years for this car.... Why the heck is 4 weeks so dang hard! LOL :P

Are the Sti bushings installed automatically if the short throw shifter is installed on the wrx?

I was able to talk them down to 650 vs 785 because of the car delay. not too shabby

STI short shifter comes with the linkages.The SPT bushings may have to be brought seperately & installed by the dealer.Your dealer can confirm this for you.There are't a whole lot of people with the factory short shifter.
