there is no reason why not.

The ppp has never been type aproved, so all ppp cars come as normal cars and have the ppp retro fitted.

The import emissions are the reason for this.

I dont doubt they will simply reinsert the original ecu or perhaps tinker so that it can obtain the power on uk fuel.

A truck with various Sti and 2 Sti Prodive have been saw near Paris last thursday. The cars will be available for the journalists on December 7 : I will send you a summary of the comments from the French magazines as soon it will be available.

Sti Prodrive would benefit from a specific Kenwood autoradio. In france, the Sti will have 2 "Suretracks" (front and back) which would not be the case in all the European markets (?).

It is also said that significant "hidden" difference exist between Wrx and Sti, a lot more than the differences indicated by Subaru France.

We will see.

As you, we consider in France that the price difference between a Prodrive and a Sti (FF 24 000, about £ 2 400) is a little bit too high for cosmetic only. However, I must say I have ordered a Prodrive, since I do not appreciate the Sti back without the Prodrive look. Mine should arrive at the end of december.

£2400, I thought it was bad enough charging the £1500 more they do in the UK! What colour are you getting?

Jon

There is a pic of one in auto express with english plates on, so there must be test cars over here already.

We have no choice of color for the Prodrive : blue and that's all.

The price difference between Sti and Prodrive is Euros 4 000 which is may be a little bit less than £ 2 400, let's say £ 2 200.

Frenchie,congrats on the new purchase.What do you mean by 'Suretrack'?

Deep Singh, I think he's referring to Suretrac LSDs.

Correct, ,I was referring to Suretrac.

It seems that Prodrive has already a kind of PPP for the Sti. Is it true ?

I was chatting to the service manager at my delers about the new STi, it is a strong rumour that Prodrive are putting together a performance pack for it!

I wonder if the PPP involves putting the original ECU back in again? Cynically...

I'm damn sure I saw one on the M4 on Friday at about lunchtime.....hmmmm

Strange,the dealer I spoke to reckoned that Prodrive were definately not bringing out a PPP for it.
