Is anybody else offering a similar package to Warrender with the new STI7. Selling the MY00 this year and want to buy a fully modified package instead of doing it myself .

Joseph - how is yours running? Where do you go from here? Have Warrender produced any further packages as with the EVO380/400?

I hear rumours of Litchfields offering a performance pack.

If anyone has any info please let me know the stats and tech' details.

Thanks,

Scottdg

get in touch with Scoobysport, I know they made a couple of replica's of their mk1 version, I'll bet they could do it with the STI if you wanted one, dunno about warranty though!

Just to say that I went out this weekend in Litcho's demo car with the perfomance pack on in and all I can say is BUGG3R! The thing is a beast, 310-320 bhp, massive kick in the kidneys, seriously considering chopping my MY01 and selling one of said kidneys to get one.

Performance pack is a decat exhaust DP back (i.e. no UP to prevent monster boost spikes), springs & rollbar (V.nice, not to solid, but great handling) Unichip and Dawes to control the boost.

Dave = what happened at Scoobysport on the 6th?

Were you taking your car in to them to check out the spiking? (and can we assume they didn't solve it from your recent posts?)

We put Carolyn's car totally back to standard. Until the boost spikes are totally cured by someone and this is proven, we don't have the time/inclination to be part of the development process.

Alternatively, the PPP will be a safe warranty friendly way of achieving some more power.....

We're currently developing several performance packs for 01MY/STi7 Etc.

Not going to commit too much too early but there is HUGE potential even with Sti 7.

OK, so it's a toss up between Prodrive, Warrender and Litchfield's by the sound of things.

Marvelous

I live in Herts and would luurve to be converted. Drove an unmodded dealer demo and although it was gorgeous, the performance didn't leave me gasping. If im gonna sell one of my children and chop in my ppp'd MY99 then i NEED that extra punch in the small of the back.

Cheers

Scottdg!
Sorry old chap I haven't been monitoring the site very well.
I suggest you contact me off line and we can discuss in more detail as there is too much to go into.
Just let me say I am soooooooo impressed. Ask anyone that knows me and has been for a drive in it.
I kanda want to keep it a secret and not have too many people driving the same car.

You just need to watch out for the potential 1.7 bar boost spikes if you do a full decat on it

Make sure whoever you use has a tested and proven fix for this.
