Default My Bugeye WRX PPP

Hi im Matt from Doncaster, i now Dazdavies off here, he's been a great help so far!

Here it is, this was about 3 weeks ago when i picked it up.









Engine bay, only non Standard item was a Forge DV



Got Full Leathers

Full leather





Came with a Good service history, Id love to shake hands with the Sales guy who sold it, all the extras he got the bloke to have! Electric sunroof, leather seats, Prodrive OZ alloys, STi Brembo Brakes, Big spoiler, Morettes and the PPP!

The 1st thing i did was to replace the Side markers





And replaced the Blue front badge with a Cerise item





I then Gave under the Bonnet a quick clean

Before



After



I also Bought a HKS Super Hybrid Panel Filter



Glad i did change it as the one in the airbox, looks a bit gummed up!



So should be breathing a bit more freely!

I've also bought a Turbo Inlet silicone hose, which was uber cheap, seen them on ebay for £50 got mine for half of that, Not looking forward to fitting it though!



I also did a Little Blue Peter Exercise and made my own Carbon Fibre Fog covers

Firstly i took the Carbon Fibre Glovebox Blanking panel off My 106 Rallye



I then got a piece of Paper, pushed it into the recess, then trimmed to the right size and glued onto some cardboard



I then trimmed around the Paper, to give a templete



Checked it fitted and trimmed accordingly



Flipped over for OS Fog



Then drew around the template onto the CF



Then Trimmed (Edges haven't been sanded in this picture)



Then i stuck on some STi Decals and trial fitted and Trimmed as neccassary, covers just placed in.



The finished items, also note the STi Grill badge ive added!







They will do untill i can get some proper ones, so i can send them to the Chap that did all my Carbon Fibre bits for my Rallye and get him to make me some Carbon Copies.

I then Bought some Mud flaps and fitted them





My Future Plans are

*VF34 Ball bearing Turbo Charger
*3" S/S Exhaust system
*S/S Unequal Headers - Ceramic Coated
*K&N Typhoon Induction kit or RCM Item
*565cc injectors
*Walbro 255 Fuel Pump
*Front Mounted Intercooler
*Boost controller & Turbo Timer
*Aeromotive Fuel Regulator
*Either Remap by Jolly Green Monster or Simtek

Im going to RCM in september to get them to service it for me!

Here's my old Motor, A 106 Series 2 Rallye, which i supercharged, Forged bottom end etc etc, i then got Ill and went into hospital, decided i was bored of it and moved on to bigger better things! It just needed Mapping, but its now been stripped of the Supercharger etc and is being returned to standard!

Cheers

20456 Sacc2475 - Brake Kit Impreza 99MY 330mm - 1300.00

20456# - To Fit Big Brake Kits - 102.00 (3 hrs Labour)

Some of the History makes me laugh, they way Subaru charged £34.00 (1 hrs labour) to fit the wheels, an hour to do 10 bolts!

Made

227Bhp @5555Rpm
301Nm @ 4240Rpm
Standard Boost

Which is down on what Prodrive quoted it should be, but it seems most Bugeyes PPP make less than Prodrive quoted (after searching on here), But seems as i only bought it as a standard wrx Im happy

Nice lookin car! Some nice mods to boot. Agree with the power been down on what Prodrive say it should make. Ours made 225bhp with the PPP pack and no other mods. Slowly getting some bits together for the extra power it needs.

Car looks fantastic, and nice one with all the extras! Only thing i'd suggest is getting the morettes colour coded - they'll look way better

Got a few plans for the Morettes, colour coding is one of them.
