Newbie with pics...
Hi all,
i've just bought this, a 2001 bug eye. Needed some serious cleaning and pics are below. Think its running around 240bhp (WRX with prodrive ECU only, any ideas?). Enjoying the car, had it less then a week, but is somewhat different then my last car.
Opinions?
Before and after shots.
Mark.

I agree, looks alot better after a quick wash. Have you got any mods planned? Or are you keeping her standard?

lol, cheers.
The car is in excellent mechanical condition (its basically on original everything after 91,000 miles) but its got a massive amount of stone chips and chips on the back etc. so im not sure what to do.
Respray bumpers and carbon fibre bonnet?
Just realised that these don't make 225ps standard as i thought (would appear a later revision),so is it 218ps, 215bhp?
So would it be running 240 with the Prodrive ECU? Feels like it?

I'd guess you would be near right with 240hp with a prodrive ecu on a wrx, 240-250hp. The sti are lift 40hp with a prodrive ecu.
By the way, you know how to clean cars dont you, I'm impressed

but isnt a full PPP pack ecu, decat and backbox?
So how would the split go if i only had one? i.e. the ECU.
Yeah the cleaning was hard, needed it though.
Well have a load of other questions soon im sure (in the relevant sections)

PPP come with a sports cat rather than decat, you'd gain somewhere near 20hp from the exhaust system & cat and probably near the same from the ecu, maybe 15hp? with the ecu alone. But put them to gether and you'll gain a bit more.

I think what I would tend to do is fit a turbo back exhaust and filter and get it mapped yourself. You'll see more than any ppp kit will give you, probably 250-260hp on stardard fuel pump, injectors & td04, pop a fuel pump on and PFR7B plugs and you should be close to 280hp.
But at the end of the day hp figures are just numbers, if it drives well then that all that matters but 280hp does sound good doesn't it

Ai, the bug's in town.
All i was going to do was finish off the PPPack, but the search function will be my friend on finding the answers i need i'm sure.
Think they only thing i'll be doing in the near future is changing the filter for another (in the OE location), but should i be avoiding oil covered filters for the sake of the MAF meter? So a foam based filter is ideal?
