Mog had his 330 mapped with a Litchfield CAI and the ppp exhaust and got 384bhp- 394lbft! with the downpipe standard. mapped by JGM btw.

+1 on this, also got mines from the states and brill quality, fast shipping and no import tax, from BasonR on ebay.

Much more flexible than my old scott lowe hawk splitter and think it will last much longer.

 

Its a huge pain in the bottom. Many a time I have to turn the map light on to find the little blighter!

+100 on that!

I wonder if there's a way to get the wing mirrors to fold when you remove the key from the ignition, and unfold when you put the key in?

It would have been too easy for Subaru to have done that in the factory..

 

Couple of lads in work have got the Citroen C5's, their wing mirrors fold and unfold when you set/unset the car alarm. That might be worth looking into.

These are Polyurethane and only £99 in the GB, bargin.

Paul.

 

£60 from the states but postage was the main thing it was another £50 ontop but thats a bargain if its flexible one

 

well, thanks to Aaron I have just purchased the magnaflow cat back system for quite a good deal, hope to have for Friday and get fitted over the w/e

 

And thanks to the above I'll be getting a nice PPP exhaust once the Magnaflow is fitted.

 

New JDM STI with carbon roof but auto box

hmmm

c/f roof

 

Knew that wound interest one person on here!!

 

Hey all... a quick question.

The concept Sti 380S - does anyone know who manufactured the exhaust for prodrive ?

It looks like magnex stylee.... but some one must know who manufactered it ?

WOuld it be the same peeps who make all their exhaust stuff ?

i'm sure someone on here mentioned that they knew who made all the prodrive stuff ?

 

Speak with TSL, they know who make the 08 STI Prodrive box so should be able to help.

its actually have a paddle shifter......hopefully its shifts as quick as the M3, and GTR.....maybe to compete w/ the EVO X MR????

you can see the paddles right behind the steering wheel.....

 

Just to let you know that figure was not verified on a dyno mate, it was what Simon's 'rolling road' function on the Ecutek mapping software said it was making, I reckon it would make more like 355-360bhp and 380lbft on a dyno...

 

Still great figures though...but I would take it with a pinch of salt until we see what the PPP exhuast makes with a re-map on a dyno...

 

Got talking to a really nice guy down in the New Forest today while I was out and about working, he had the first red MY08 STI I have seen on the road...looked great with tinted windows and dark grey prodrive 18s

I told him where we hang out...LOL

 

Ohhhh thats harsh Dave........must say though considering it was 330 to start with the jump up to "384" felt fantastic not sure I would have felt such a jump in performance if it was 25/30 bhp more. When the ecu was reset back to standard before I sold it, the car felt really flat in comparision IMHO.

Kind regards
Clive
"Chops" says hello and thankyou BTW

 

Still wondering, can the Subaru a/v head unit be "programmed" to select other ECU readable functions like boost pressure, inj duty, MAF volts etc - seems odd it can read throttle position but not other installed sensors like MAP and MAF and items it controls...

LOL, was waiting for you to respond mate. Thought to myself I wonder if Clive still looks in here even though he has probably got his lovely new car by now

Simon is a mapping guru and no doubt got some great results with your car, but all the other mappers keep saying it's not possible with the PPP exhaust. But then again have they mapped one with a PPP yet etc.etc. Just waiting for Simon to map a PPP hatch STI on a dyno to see what he gets, I will be very pleased if it's around 380 on the standard turbo, fuel pump and injectors I can tell you, I will be booking in to see him asap after that

Still think you did the right thing you know, I bet your new car doesn't need coilovers and half of the whiteline catologue to handle the way we like...

Please say a big hello to Chops for me, bet he has grown a bit

All the best and still hoping to see you at Goodwood next year mate

Dave

 

When I went they had me in a Clio and bizarrely a Merc Van (RWD). Gret fun - the best biot is side kicker - you approach a section of road at speed, as soon as you get your front wheels past it, a piston flings the section sideways, throwing the car into a spin. Yor task is to try and catch it! As you don't know which way it will fire the thing to do is try and relax and then get as much lock on and off again as quick as you can.

Top tip is not to let go fo the wheel if ytou can help it - cross your hands a lot, but try not to feed the wheel through.

Enjoy

Yes it was great - the kick plate was the best bit definitely

The instructor made me turn all the toys off - with no ESC the car was a total animal!!!!! Made me respect the electronics for sure

I was using fixed position steering and that works most of the time, but on the kick plate at 35mph with no ESC this was not enough. Once I had figured out that I had to put nearly full lock on to avoid spinning I got quite good - and now I feel a lot more confident about what to do in bad situations - and how to read the signs the car gives before the limit is reached.

Best bit - the chief instructor (David Joyce) said when he's passed the limit in subaru's on the track he's only recovered 6 out of 10 times - hearing that from a pro driver made me think - I'll respect the wolf under my bonnet a little more from now

Worst bit - all the instructors called the car a Mazda 3 all day

I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone - loads of sliding about and no tire wear

 

Various photos of my 08 hatchback PPP with WRC livery

 

absolutely mint

oh - and welcome to the thread

btw where did you get the vinyl / stickers?

 

cracking looking car Fil

 

Hi, the Vinyl graphic's do not yet exist, having contacted Prodrive who own the copyright. This was a one-off commission Phil

 

Looks Good

Did you get it at Stan Palmers in Carlisle ???

 

hi, No i am from the midlands
Thanks for the response

Phil
