Hello to all.I am a newbie on here.Hav just sold my TT supra and am looking for a STI prodrive.I am interested in the one shown first on this link.As i know nothing about subaru's can someone tell me if this is a prodrive?

How can you visually tell a prodrive from a regular STI?

Help would be appreciated since i am going to view this car tomorrow with intentions of buying it.

hopefully i willl get to meet up with some of you guys at meets over the coming months.My subaru knowledge starts here

 

quite simple, there should be a certificate of authentication by Prodrive with vehicle registration details.

i have mine.

if its not there then suspect!

 

if there is no cert
check the tailpipe to see if it has prodrive stamped on it look at the downpipe behind and under the intercooler ,should look something like this





aslo in passenger side footwell under carpet is the ecu should have prodrive sticker or writing on it (i think)

 

Are you after an STI with PPP or the STI with Prodrive styling? If its the PPP the only definitive way is the certificate. Its also the only way you'll re coup the extra you spend come re sale time

 

Thanks for the advice and help.
Found out it is a prodrive style not ppp.
I still bought the car though for £11250
I plan to do a 333 conversion.From research i believe TSL do this.Is there anyplace else? What would such a conversin cost.I am thinking about £2500.Would i recoup such an investment in the future if i decided to sell

 

WRC tech do a number of conversions have a look at there web page
