What's the difference between a wrx and a sti prodrive
 

As above as I have a 1999 sti prodrive and my mate has a wrx but mine leaves it standing

What sort of WRX...... jap classic, bug, blob, hawk, n/a ??

Shaun

No such thing as either a WRX or STi Prodrive. The PPP (Prodrive Performance Pack) was only available on UK cars.

I've got a WRX :)

Shaun

With PPP? In a '99 classic shape?

Mine is a uk sti when I bought it it was advertised as a prodrive it also has a prodrive spoiler. My mate has a 95 wrx jap but like I said mine leaves it all day long!
Suppose the question I should have asked is what's the difference between a wrx and a sti?

There was never a UK sti in the classic shape...

Would you just like to say well done?

Looks like I been messed about here the geezer who I bought it off had it advertised as a uk 2000 sti prodrive!!!
Is it possible it could have the ppp fitted?

As others have said, there's no such thing as a UK classic shaped STi. You could however have a UK WRX with a Prodrive PPP as I believe that was an option.


*Sorry UK Turbo 2000, oops.....*

Omg I feel like a rite thick **** now just found this out

Vehicle Identification

Manufacturer: Subaru
Model: Impreza Turbo 2000 4wd
Year: 1999
Colour: Blue
Fuel Type: Petrol
Engine Size (CC): 1994
VIN: Not available
V5C Issued: Not available

But it's quick as **** leaves a wrx standing so must have had some work done to it

Only UK classic was the Turbo 2000 and the PPP was optional extra which was meant to bring the power up from ~208bhp to 240bhp IIRC

However it is not strange for turbo200's to run more bhp from stock than claimed. I had a turbo 2000 bog standard that ran 240 on a very accurate RR. I also know of someone who had the PPP option fitted who ran over 250bhp which is closer to wrx figures.

Your year of UK model can be remapped so that could be a possibility as to why it may be a bit quicker.

Pretty close muttley :) though the 99/00 cars were 215bhp and the PPP was quoted at 237bhp on 95 ron (though 97+ was recommended and the power output increased to 250bhp).

WRX (depending on if its a wagon or saloon) for a 95 model is either 220ps (wagon) or 260ps (saloon), also if they are old n tired that figure can drop.

^^ More accurate figures from one of the masters of info on here :)

Is it green and did you buy it from Dorset by any chance?

No it's blue

I know it's got a full stainless with decat it's also got over run so I originally thought it had been re mapped. I was looking at the vf23, vf24 turbos what benefit would I get by having either of these fitted also would I need a fmic?

Surely a P1 is exactly that? a classic shape STi Prodrive impreza.
