How to put a grin on a man's face: delivered WRX03 for 1000mile service this morning. Ordered PPP when new but told would be up to 6 weeks. Swapped pride and joy for Corsa - and whilst signing paperwork was asked "we might just be able to get PPP tomorrow, would you like us to do that...?"
pause - and then Service Asst answered his own Q : "that was a stupid qustion wasn't it!!"
Problem now is trying to calm down, stop grinning and persuade myself won't happen - or I'm going to be bloody disappointed driving it home Fri evening!!
Boys and their toys!

Leave it for a while. I assume you've been a good(ish) boy and not ragged it yet, so gradually start to use the performance so when the PPP is fitted you'll have a yardstick as to the improvements?
Ordered my PPP for my STi at the first service to give me a few weeks to begin to like the car after 1000 miles of "this thing feels like a dog after my 99my" After a Linked classic the STi feels so laggy and lifeless below 4000!

PS Just had a call from the dealer it's in stock! That's just over a week!

yup - I know that's very sensible advice
but
a. it's like unwrapping presents slowly
b. drive to Cornwall approaching and there's some fab roads across Bodmin Moor
c. if can't do this time will have to book another appointment - which'll make wife suspicious as she's not aware I've ordered PPP!
Meanwhile - anyone got advice of running in post 1st sevice and with newly fitted PPP? I've done 1200K v. carefully from new NOT exceeding 4K (well twice by mistake - damned hard isn't it) - do I then have to ease into it eg up to 5K limit for a bit - or is it now the "all clear" YEEEHAAAAAAAA - VROOOOOOOM

so therefore a Track Day in beginning of Sept (Brands) probably not a brilliant idea until all bedded in a bit more, me included - think your comment about wrapping it very sensible advice.
