Be very afraid of the following combination :-

1. Black STI7

2. Driver : a Mr M.Wood, apparently employed by Prodrive.

3. Hairpin bend, location Prodrive Banbury.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

 

4.Blatent misuse of handnrake?

 

I know that hairpin bend LOL

You should get that nice Mr Wood to take you round in the pouring rain

 

LOL

 

What Great Entertainment! ! !

As always.... Thanks Mike!

 

Dave,

I think this is what Russell was trying to convey









I don't he was trying hard enough. He still something resebling tread left at the end of the day. Shoddy workmanship I call it. Pete Jackson however, is a man who really knows how to **** a tyre

Josh

 

Nice one Josh. If only we had a video as well.

Not ******** tyres shows Mike's skill. (sorry Pete)

 

Fantastic.

 

That is the only STI 7 with a PPP on it.... WOW you STI7 owners got to get it when its on sale!!!! its mental



BTW nice pics Josh

 

Plantie
PPP orders # 1 and 2......

 

Actually Plantie, it isn't the only STi7 in the UK with the PPP fitted.....no further comment

 

Different car, different place, same driver, same reaction.........

 

yep had the honour as well, and a nice spin to boot
whats the figs on pppsti 7 then.
will swap me wrxppp if high enough
steve
and will it work on wrx

 

I was really impressed with Mikes driving and a nice chap aswell The only dissapionting thing was the Mike kept sitting in the wrong side and wouldn't let go of that wheel LOL
Oh and the slightly quick Sti7 PPP is a must can't wait saving pennies up. Even (might) put up with the Std Xhorst till PPP arrives its tooooooo quiet (only B/Box due to Dave's thread on spiking)

Tony

 

Tony,

You little hooligan you Who would have thought !

Josh

PS I've found 5 or 6 of you so far, I'll be in touch

 

Tony

Running downpipe back system on mine now, and it's fine boost wise. It's only either the up pipe or downpipe or worst the combination of both that causes the spiking, so it's ok to change the centre as well and get rid of a cat and the resonator box.

 

Dave,
Been reading THAT post with some interest some of it went way over my head DON'T touch the up pipe
I was and liked the Magnex 6x4 but the WRX system one doesn't fit the STi7 hits the gearbox apparently But there again best to see what comes with PPP. it's GOT to include some Xorst bits
I like the sound not the performance LOL

Josh,
I am no hooligan the tyres must of been going off that's why the P1 was skippng around the corner before the pits. Dale kept telling me to go faster D LOL

 

Excuse me for sounding thick but what the hell is PPP anyway?

There seems to be a lot of jargon to get my head around can anyone help me out, being a Scooby Newbie an'all.

 

It's a Prodrive Performance Pack, which I believe is the only offically sanctioned way to modify your car, and usually comprises an ECU and exhaust modification, together with a few other bits.

Josh

 

Baby blue,
No problems M8 PPP stands for Prodrive Performance Pack
The pack may consist of a new ECU maybe something for the Induction and exhaust bits Might take the STi7 from 261 Bhp to 305-310 Bhp but more importantly loads more torque ( No offical fiqures just estimating ). And better feul economy into the bargain but still in devolpement. IMHO

Tony

 

Hmm better fuel economy eh. Even more reason to get the PPP. Might even pay for itself after a few weeks or so (at the rate my STi seems to be drinking fuel anyway ).

Iain.

 

Were you boys playing near Warwick at a test track cos me and Steve are there next Friday courtesy of Subaru.

 

thats damn nice move on the black sti.

was there any change on the diffs or is everything standard except the wheels and ppp.

My Evo 7RS does the same on throttle (don t need the handbrake either)

I would love to see a movie of this slide

this fun
this is the way how you need to drive these kind of cars

Makes mental note never to buy BF02 OXP

thats me in evo 6 RS2

regards

andre

 

I think you'll find that, as with most good drivers, Mike doesn't use the handbrake to do these things. It's all about steering and throttle.

Josh

 

ohh i can do that too no problem

i try to upload an other one

andre

Arron,
Yep we had a little play thanks to Lister (Worcester) who organised the event Everyone got a Certificate and mug a grin a minute
I wouldn't have liked their Tyre or feul bill.
Tony

 

It wasn't raining Dave, but it was rather foggy.

Or was that tyre smoke ??!!

ps

No handbrakes were used during this manoeuvre. Do not try to copy this stunt at home.
