Rob, true mate but its easier to re-fit the centre de cat and rear box than a Downpipe & Cat

Bugger it, I'm going back to an EVO ! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

 

Numpite - have a word with Rob.

 

Patience is virtue Numptie!!

 

Go back to an EVO then....

 

Jason

The first ones will be done in October. Prodrive are not in control of the order in which they are fitted so I would suggest that you liase with your dealer.

Regards

Mike Wood
Prodrive

 

Thanks Mike,

Good news, first positive info from the horses mouth (in the nicest possible way....)

Is that likely to be 1 October or 31 October? At the dealers or will the first few be at Banbury as previously speculated?

Mines been booked with my dealers for months so hopefully not too much longer to wait.

 

Chelspeed, that was an email from Mike @ Prodrive to me, he is saying we will see the PPP in the dealers in October and it is awesome!

 

Jas,
just spoke to my dealer they said end of October now
Don't know what to do as I might buy a MY03 and don't know if they will be interchangable ?

Jay

 

Dont buy an MY03, your gona loose loads both ways! wait for the PPP, its not long now also try and get a drive in one, I spoke to the guy at Prodrive and he said the car is mental with the PPP!

 

Whoopee, can't wait!!

My dealer says that MY03 STi's will be the same spec as this years so the PPP will be interchangeable (just keeping all options covered....) But he's just a dealer so what does he know, sounds quite likely though.

 

Personally, I couldn't give a crap if the 03 STi might look better, from the drivers seat, you can only see the scoop!

The 02 STi is pretty mental anyway, roll on the PPP!

P.s. If no one likes the 01/02 models, i'm sure it also includes the thieves

 

Yes Jas I know what your saying just keeping my options open.
Looking forward to the 300 bhp Focus Cosworth
That wa supposed to be 2003 ??
Bet Ford have a surprise for us all.

Jay

 

Jay,

Sorry mate, could never lower myself to a FORD!!

 

Well he isnt going to say you should spend £2k on something that is going to be crap.

I'll believe it when i see it as to fitment date, i'll believe the improvement when i drive it too. Untill then it's all just fairy tales.

 

I am a convert from Ford, my mate had a Scooby and I drove it sold my M3 Evo and bought one within a month. Cossies are great, its a shame you can't buy a new one now I think I might own one.
Then again they wern't a patch on my STi 7 as its all new technology.

 

Well I think there must be an improvment, even removing the second cat the car was transformed!

 

I know, that exhaust is awesome two problems......
1. My car did 17 to the gallon when I last filled it
2. The exhaust note makes my garage door rattle when I put the car away.

It was doing 23 ish but I have been driving in 2nd alot.

 

I know the feeling, I was getting about 250 miles to a tank full, now I get about 210, mind you I have stopped using that Optimax crap and put esso S/U and it runs so much better

 

I'm not the only one who feels their STi7 runs like a pile of crap on Optimax then? My MY00 ran great though. Now avoid optimax like the plague Esso or BP SUL for me...

 

Optimax made it bog down, you would pull away and the power would be ****e, think theres too much cleaning ads in it

 

I have funnily enough been having the same debate and am in the process of comparing the two lol.

 

Plus Esso SU costs me 77.9 per litre & not 79.9

 

If anything SUL costs more than Optimax, but it's worth it, best I can describe running on optimax as lumpy or very uneven.

 

mines sweet on optimax, had my 1k service today, yipee, no more 4k rev limit
mark

 

Numpite ? (is that a type of rock formation ? ... sorry )

Rob D ? - S&S ain't gonna get it quicker for me than any other dealer !

Aye Willie, you're right, so do I tell Mrs Numptie I want a PPP for xmas ?

 

Jacie,
Are you M. Wood in disguise hows the PPP gott it fitteed

Tony

 

Jacey,
If your dealer doesn't get a Demo one before I get mine (Now I wish) could meet you half way say Weston-Super-Mare and you can have a go in it

Tony

 

Tony can I meet in Weston too and have a look ? I have one ordered but still undecided.
