1) completly forgot the differences between the US 04 and 05 STi
2) I do not think the rear sway was different from 02 to 03 (20mm down to 17mm) I think the wagons had the 17mm on them, not the sedans
3) got the wider gears on the 03 but failed to mention the change in case to cut down on case flex that was the root cause of the 02 tranny problems.

Here's a few things I remember:
1) The BBS wheels are 1/2" wider for '05, requiring trimming of the rear wheel wells and small fender flares being incorporated into the rear bumper cover to compensate.
2) Radio and carpeted floor mats became standard equipment for 2005.
3) New headliner fabric, new sunvisors, and elimination of small center flip-down sunshade for '05.
4) New windshield with strip of tint that dips down in the center about 4"-5" to make-up for area not covered by sunvisors for '05.
5) New center console with two cupholders, remote mirror control moved to driver's door panel, and parking brake lever offset to driver side for 2005.
6) Radio no longer has cassette player capability for 2005.
7) Folding cup holder below center HVAC vents eliminated for 2005 (I had to warranty-out a radio once that got hosed with a Starbucks Caramel Macchiado).
8) Black went from Java Black Pearl to Obsidian Black Pearl.
I'm sure I missed a couple of things. Can anyone fill-in the blanks?

South Park mocks Steve Irwin
LONDON, England (CNN) -- The cartoon series South Park has never been shy of courting controversy, but its latest episode has caused outrage by featuring the recently deceased Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin.
Swearing and random death and destruction are staples of the cartoon, which has been broadcast since 1997. Irwin, killed by a stingray's barb while snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef in September is the latest celebrity to be lampooned by the show.
The episode, aired in the U.S. earlier this week, shows Satan preparing to host a Halloween fancy dress party. Other guests include Princess Diana, Hitler and rapper Notorious B.I.G. Critics have been appalled by the Irwin character's depiction in a bloodstained shirt and with a stingray still attached to his chest.
John Beyer of UK TV watchdog Mediawatch said: "This is such bad taste and the makers of South Park should review their decision to show it. Steve's family are still grieving.
"To lampoon somebody's death like that is unacceptable and so soon after the event is grossly insensitive.''
South Park maker Comedy Central defended the episode. A spokesperson for the company said: "It has offended people in the past and probably will again. Regular watchers would not be shocked."
The show holds the record for the most swearword spoken in one program, and regularly takes pot-shots at celebrities and makes fun of politics and religion.
Some tamer examples include George Clooney, mocked for his politically-motivated Oscar acceptance speech, and lampooning Tom Cruise and John Travolta for their belief in Scientology. One episode with a depiction of a bleeding Virgin Mary so upset the Catholic Church that it was pulled from repeats of the series.

what was funny about it is in the show someone comes up to satan and goes... "Someone came dressed as steve irwin, some of the guests are a little outraged about this..." so Satan walks up to Steve Irwin and goes... "Hey buddy, it's a little to soon to be dressing as steve irwin, some of our gets are getting mad..." Steve Irwin goes "Hey Satan it's me, It's not a costume..." so then Satan goes... "Oh no costume... you gotta leave then"... and he gets kicked out of the party and that's the entire thing
