While picking up my new motor yesterday in Blegium, my dealer happily stated that PPP is now accepted by SUbaru Belgium. This has been agreed for a week now.

Does this mean i need to go back to BElgium to fit it or can i get it fitted in the UK???

Bobby,

Dunno an official answer but it might be worth getting it in writing from Hans about warrranty cover etc to prove to IM in case things get sticky. At last, some good news about PPP if I want it in the future (if.... more like when) :D

How's the car? Mine's on order but via Keyring - couldn't get any cheaper direct as I'm not buying in bulk like you ;) according to Hans.

BL hope u dont mind me asking but what are u paying for a MY02 by going direct to Belgium rather than using say Keyring or any of the others, the reason I ask is I am seriously thinking of taking this route in about 5-6 months time and im too lazy to go searching for relevant threads, cost is £17K at keyring but used to see ads for £15995, I dont mind a trip to Belgium if i can save another 1K

Thanks

Dave

BL, I'm still waiting on confirmation from Subaru Benelux on this, I think I'll drop them a line, they said they'd let me know but maybe they forgot.

Nick from Prodrive has already confirmed this (that we can have PPP under warranty but have to get a belgium dealer to fit it) but I'm just waiting on confirmation from their side before I go ahead.

I don't suppose he mentioned a price.

FYI

So it looks like im going to have another trip to Belgium then!!! The dealer told me that PPP cannot be installed until you have 1500 miles on the clock. He also says he can do a discount if i travel over. So i guess, the more orders he gets the cheaper it'll be. Maybe worth starting a group buy!!!

When does your motor arrive??? Looking forward to it??

In terms of price you will be saving costs if you pick up ypur car from Belgium & also a little bit more if you go direct. It also depends on when you make the booking on the currency. However, give Hans (Garage Troch) a call on 0032 58 801804. He'll be happy to help & tell him i sent you (believe me, it'll be worth it). Other costs can be saved i.e. pre-registration & taking plates over & not buying transit plates. But that is your risk!!

Hopefully June-ish for when it should be a bit warmer & drier :)

Deffo looking forward to it - only probs are getting rid of existing motor, keeping the scrotes of it and feeding it ;)

This sounds good to me. let me know what the result is

BL,STI5 - group buy, sounds good to me. As soon as I get confirmation through Subaru Benelux (nothing received yet) I'll let you know and then we can start shopping around.

BL, STi5 see this thread for updates if you've not already seen it.

I'm certainly up for a group buy on PPP via Benelux if we can't do it under warranty in the UK - new MY02 arrives from Holland next week and will be putting PPP in it after a couple of 1000 for sure;

This from Subaru Belgium yesterday as it happens -

Dear Mr. Darren,

Only Belgian dealers are allowed to sell/install the PPP to be covered by
Belgian warranty.

Regards

Bart Daenen
SUBARU BENELUX

So lets all go to belgium!!!

Is someone going to organise a group belgium buy?

If anyone is going to ask for a group buy in Belgium, let me know. Id definitely be up for it.

I'll call my dealer in Aalst (10 mins from brussels) for a group price as well.


How many people would be interested??

I would be we could all convoy!!!

Fizz

Sounds good to me. All standard cars going out & coming in all beefed up!!!

I'll let you know on prices when i speak to the dealer tomorrow.

Bob

Sorry for being a t*t,
I own a Belgian import WRX 6MNTH old,but dont know what PPP is.I guess its a performance package,but what exactly,and how much more power,and how much money.If all points are favourable I to would be interested in a little trip to Belgium.Is it anywere near Amsterdam:D If so Ill have some special PPP on the way back(Prostitute.Perversion.Pharmacuticals);)

bob, anything from your dealer on prices?

Boultsy

Still awaiting price from dealer. I asked him for a price if we were to get five interests. Will mail you the price once i get it.

My MY02 + PPP from Belgium arrived just under two weeks ago. The PPP was fitted by the dealer in Belgium with less than 10 miles on the clock. As the V5 has not turned up yet the warranty has not been registered with IM so this will be whan the fun and games begin.

Looking forward to opening her up after 1000 miles have been completed ;)

From memory payed 1700 ish euros to add the PPP, so just over £1000 :D (+VAT)

orb, got any contact details, looks like a good price.

Sounds like an excellent price.

Boultsy, if you get in contact with the dealer, let me know.

When I get home will look up the dealer and confirm the price. More later.

From the invoice......

Pro-drive pack: 1760.00 Eur

Garage-Carrosserie Troch

Orbv

Thats the dealer i got minr from.

However, old Hans is a bit slow on the replying side!!!

nice one orb:)

Bob let us know if Hans comfirms this price, it's looking good.

Boultsy

Will do as soon as he replies. I asked him for a group price as well. So if we get a few interests, we'll be laughing.

:cool:

:D

Guys

Still no reoly from Hans Troch yet. Tried calling, but no answer either. Will try again tomorrow.

Spoke to Hans Troch today. He is willing to fit PPP for 2000 Euro per car. This is apparently a discount of 129 Euro on his standard price. It takes 2 hours to fit & he will need 2 days notice to order the parts if anyone is interested. He will arrange fitting on a Saturday, but was not willing to lower his price any further.

I am quite interested in sorting a PPP out so if any one else knows of other friendly Benelux dealers please let me know.

Narinder.
