Default My uk300

Hi all, newbie here. Just bought my first impreza

I've decided to move on from the teg (DC2) and get something more practical this will be great for winter.

Gone for a 2001 WRX uk300 prodrive, no 222





Really impressed with it, drives beautifull and sounds fantastic :twisted: Think the missis loves it more than me :shock:
Only mods are the prodrive kit/ss exhaust/sports cat/panel filter from prodrive.

Credit too it's former owners. It's been really well looked after with no expense spared, full subaru history, serviced every 5k too, huge folder of receipts/mots/invoices/milage check ect....

As much as i loved the teg i just needed something more practical for the longer journeys/camping ect.

Thanks mate.

The turbo comes on quite late 3200rpm ish, what sort of bolt on mods can be bought to help low end power?

Nice car

All UK bugs were crippled from the factory so as not to get in the way of the STi versions...I'd get in touch with one of the reputable mappers on here to look into sorting the car the way it *should* have left the factory

How about contacting Prosport in Stockport or trying one of the travelling mappers like JGM or Racedynamix.....

I've always liked the Uk300, think I should have got one instead of my old Blob WRX. Nice looking cars.

Nice car mate, well looked after. Andy Carr mapped mine! Amazing job, took about 1hr 30mins. Like a different car now! Give him a shout, just say Craig gave you his number!

standard ones don't sound particularly great as i have 1 in mine but if you want 1 you can pick them up for about £30 the silver 1 is the 1 that you need.

Not updated this for a while.

Had the car remapped 5 week ago by graham (engine mapper) and it made 286bhp and 280lbs torque

Very happy with it!!
