How do you lads find the power delivery on your cars. I recently drove an STI7(non PPP) and was fairly unimpressed. The turbo didn't start spooling up untill 4k and wasn't producing full boost untill 4.5>5k. Does the PPP sort this? 6th gear seemed pretty much redundant.
Also the suspension was well oversprung on bumpy B roads.
All in all I don't think it was any better than my mildly modded classic.
Shame cos I quite fancy one.

Hi Taylor - Bought my STi7 in December and placed an order for PPP straight away. I waited patiently (ish)until it was fitted last week.
Being my first Scooby I was impressed in non PPP form, but soon realised it wasn't fully living up to expectations. Didn't seem as good as other peoples Scooby experiences. Now the PPP is fitted it is the car I was hoping for when I bought it. Turbo now comes in just below 3k. 6th gear is now usuable - cruising at 80mph engine is at 3.1k and turbo is ready to go!!
As for suspension I cannot comment my car was bought 2nd hand with 18" wheels plus front & rear strut braces already fitted. Bit of a bone shaker at slow speed - but sits flat on roundabouts!!
Hope this helps.

WR Blue + rally window stickers. I always wave to other Scoobs. Most wave back. There are a couple I see occasionally see in Abingdon when passing through that do not wave and one of them is an STi7!

I own a May 2002 Pro-drive Sti 7 and fitted PP after 6k miles. Superb transformed the car.
Have now had the car lowered 35mm on H+R springs and it looks superb. Well pleased, I always wave to.
Regards
