Was at my local dealer's today (Stan Palmers) and he has 3 Pre-registered MY02 WRX's which they have added the following

265bhp conversion,
Prodrive back box,
morette twin headlights,
large rear spoiler

I got the impression from one of the saleman that they wanted shot of them and were open to offers,

Seems like a good chance of picking up a bargan if they want shot of them !!!

ECUTECH 265 BHP conversion...... I very much doubt this ??

What about IM's lovely 3 year warranty????

crowt123

why do you very much doubt this ?

Nexuas

SGT had a sport on the forcourt which they had free morrette twin headlights etc... This was the MY02 model and I think they just want to get rid of them. I would be tempted if I had the money!!

WRX_BLUES

Sounds possible to me. I think the new PPP for MY03 uses ecutek.

crowt123

i know for a fact that it does...263 bhp after ecutek and cat back exhaust.

babber

So your saying the ECUTEK are doing the maps for Pro-drive now ? I find that VERY hard to believe ??

Cheers Phill C

Edcase

Phil, the new PPP uses Ecutek instead of a piggyback chip.

No we are saying Prodrive are using ECUTEK and using their own map.

Edcase

No, the base maps for new PPP were done by PE.

Probably tweaked by Prodrive though.



cheers

The cars are £18495 if anyone is interested.

Not open to offers as this is absolute cost price.
Yes thats right a dealer not making a profit. Miracles do happen.
Grab them while you can !!!!! we don't do this very often.

What colour are they?

john coffey

I bet their either Green or White.

X2WRX

Green

petrolhead

Now theres a thing.

I bet if they were WR Blue they would be £1000 more

X2WRX

Correct again

Edcase

Green is the best colour. Fools.



Call me different. Actually, white is my joint favourite colour for bugeyes, and will be my next car.

Sti8 RA C-spec anyone???

X2WRX

Well said Ed, more thoughts exactly.

Different is COOOOOOOOOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Simon Lines

Ed, I would suggest you do a little double checking of your source before making those kind of claims.

The PPP is made USING EcuTek software, NOT using PE (or any other tuners) calibration files.

For your info Prodrive has the largest non OEM calibration team in the EU

WRX_BLUES

Well done Simon! I'm glad someone knew exactly what I was trying to say. I gave up bothering to try and explain in the end.

Edcase

Simon, sorry, I was on a bit of a wind up, hence the

Actually though I did hear several rumours that PE did a lot of the early decoding / base maps for the Ecutek, which surely was the starting point for the software, and therefore the PPP?

Edcase

LOL @ WRX_BLUES

I do so love SN sometimes.....

WRX_BLUES

Ed,

Didn't notice the Doh!

LOL @ self!

Edcase

No worries matey....its been a looooooonnnng day. I've now got to go home and move house

Seems like you need to make better use of your ample resource then Simon!

STi7 PPP is a complete rip-off, nothing more than a crude boost clamp.

STi8 PPP is more like it, because of EcuTeK software, but not a patch on a EcuTeK re-map done by PE. Nobody knows more about the tool than the guys that put it together in the first place!

I know you guys are working to different criteria i.e must last at least 60,000 miles or 3 years before blowing-up.

Also from my undisclosed sources, Ed is not as far from the truth as you would suggest Simon.

MattW

Paul - The STi7 is now an ECUTEK remap and has been for some time.

Paul N P

MattW,

Correct you are!

I was refering to version 1.
