Colin Noble told me that they will now fit PPP at their premises as they have a trained technician and parts in stock. Apparently they did one this morning - and I hope they'll do mine within the week! Saves a lot of hassle and the price is £1500+VAT which seems less than previously. This is for a MY00. Comments/experiences?

 

 

John

For a moment there I thought you were making an impulse purchase

Sounds good - let me know how you get on

had mine done there this week...

superb.

even taken out to show difference of PPP over standard once fitted.

again, superb.

 

Great news

I thought though that Prodive were the only ones that fitted it - does Prodive 'support' other outlets that do it?

 

John

Why have you gone for the PPP rather than say the Link etc?

I think your car form memory is from Belgium is that right? I take it you are trying to preserve the warranty.

Oh and can I have a shot - its my birthday soon ?

Martin

 

Yes, car is Belgium. Reasons for PPP - seems to give the best torque below 4-5000rpm (more than STi which suits the way I (usually) drive. Many say from A-B it is as quick as an STi. EVO still believe the RB5 and P1 (equally) to be the best Imprezas ever including the STi 7, UK300 (I only need the 17" wheels to get RB5 mechanicals). Very cheap on insurance. Very reliable. No repeated recalibration to do. No noisy DP required. Resale value. They will fit it locally for a good price and take it off at no charge if I don't like it. Excellent idle/cold start properties. No need for boost gauges/Knock/Lambda link. Price once you've got Link and the exhaust not too dis-similar - esp when you consider how far I would have to travel to get it. I like the below 4k refinement. If I want Link-type power it looks like I can get it later by adding Falkland DP and get 270bhp ish?

Yes you can have a shot Martin.

 

 

Well, I suppose it is a bit impulsive - I got up yesterday morning and suggested to the wife that we went and tried a PPP demonstrator - who knows why - wanted a laugh. Rang up Noble to ask if they had one and they didn't, but said they would fit it AT THEIR PREMISES, and put it back if I didn't like it. One call to the insurance company who were surprisingly helpful, and a bit of work on the wife and there we go. Tony Burns enthusiastic post from before had got me interested

 

Lucky you john having a cool wife, my mrs hates cars and scoobs, maybe ill trade her in for a sportier model. was the place you had your PPP fitted a subaru dealer or just a tuner? when i do mine im telling her exhaut was changed under warrenty, thats all she need know. cheers LEE

 

Yeah, Subaru dealer. Nice plot! Not done yet - trying to get booked in this week.

 

LOL @ LEE P

I've got one of those too. When my PPP goes on I'll be telling her I got one of those £20 exhaust trims from Halfords, wow what a difference. . Still still thing I'm a sad b*****d, but thats preferable to coughing to having spent £1600

 

Your going to have fun John, and the difference is just great shame they didnt come out of the box like this but...... lots of fun now, and i dont beleive ive done 3k since i had the pack fitted! and its only a weekend car too!! hmmmmmm must be having too much fun with her

Tony

 

Fitted this evening. Can't concentrate on work. Like being in love again!! I must be very sad indeed! And better still the lovely wife is buying it for my birthday! She says is it birthday and chrimbo for the next 25 year! What a babe!
