Hi folks, I am soon to take delivery of my new Impreza. It's a 55 plate WRX with the ProDrive kit and a WRX 300 Spolier fitted. The car has done 9000 miles so will be getting a good service by myself (Been a mechanic since leaving school @ 16, 35 now).

I work for a pretty well known car dealer in the Yorkshire area so have access to Geometry equipment etc which will also be used on the new delivery

I am told it is good for almost 270bhp, can anyone shed any light on what else the ProDrive kit includes (Has a nice blue Intercooler pipe and says "ProDrive" on the tailpipe, it also has red Calipers)?

Has a Cat 1 Alarm with Immobiliser (With a Sigma Key Pad behind a dropdown flap on O/S of Car...Whats this do?) and also fitted with a RAC Trackstar tracker, does this need subscribing to?

I will also be buying a Disklok Cat 3 Steering Wheel cover and maybe even a post for the garage floor (Anything else I need?).

I was a little worried about the reports of theft etc, but as with ALL things, the good things are rarely reported on...But the bad are often posted. I am really looking forward to taking delivery and washing it every Sunday

Sorry for the ramble, thought I would say Hi and ask a few questions at the same time...D-an-W

 

Welcome to the fold!! You'll love every minute of it!!!

Sounds like the car has PPP which should be good for 265bhp on a WRX.

Ben

 

hey, tracker will need subscribing to. £125/year or one off payment of £300 i think

 

WOW Ben that was fast...tnx! Does PPP stand for anything in particular, any web links too perhaps?

 

Prodrive Performance Pack....

 

Hi Dan, welcome...sounds like it's going to be a nice fun motor...it's good form being able to maintain it yourself...going to reap dividends in tuning..

 

well done mate and welcome cant believe you are buying a wrx ppp and dont seem to know anything about it i would imagine if it had tracker it would still have the remaining subscription,? oh be aware re security etc, theiving scum read this site. enjoy

 

What he said!!

Bumps up the power from standard 225bhp to around 265bhp methinks.

Ben

 

Thanks for the replies folks...

@bob r - I did think of the problem with undesirables reading the site problem too, but just to say I will be taking every precaution I can to keep it secure.

 

when you transfer the owner ship over the tracker has to be renewed!

Sadly

 

What model of Trackstar is fitted "As Standard" to the WRX (There seems to be a lot of choices)?

 

Sounds like it cud be a black jax device.

 

Really Smurf2k? That would be kewl (From what I have read) do they use Simga control panels (I have fitted Silver/Gold Shield alarms previously)?

 

Welcome to ScoobyNet

Prodrive Performance Pack ... see here for all the info. The specific pack on your car, if you trust me and/or are lazy, is this one(PDF) ... probably

Hope this helps!

 

Nope, that's the stadard over ride keypad.

 

OMG

I drove it back to our dealership this afternoon, theres NO going back now

I need to start enquiring about getting the Trackstar and stuff swapped over to my name now (Not taking it home until 1st Feb, don't want to waste 2 weeks Tax ).

How do you know the Trackstar is even working, do they test em periodically?

Oh...What Oil do you folks recommend, I am guessing Mobil1 in its "Never quite enough" 4L bottles?

Thanks again for all the replies, I will keep you posted of my progress...

 

Just a thought, but wont you have to get it serviced at the dealership to keep the warranty.. I bought private so I dont know ?

 

to test the trackstar you can either phone them and ask were your car is
or tow it up the road and wait for the phone to ring
welcome to the club

budgie

 

afaik, thanks to Block Exemption you can have it serviced anywhere that is VAT registered, I could be totally wrong though (I try to avoid all the politics @ work), I was going to check up on that...
