Blip ! Full points,

I did have wrx ppp, as you can see now have sti-8 ppp.

Lost a fair bit of dosh in the transaction, but so far worth every penny.
The sti if fecking awsome, but the wrx ppp was brilliant too, but not what i wanted.
The sti pp has it all, its the dogs, go fecking buy one.

very happy

chris

chris you ****, I want more than a two word fecking review from you. It would be nice to what it's realy like compared to your wrx, ie surge in power difference (is it really that noticeable?).

I'd like to awwww at the speed since I can't get PPP for my STi8 here in Hong Kong so will have to make other mods to get it to a nice 320bhp.


so give us a nice longish read!
cheers matie,
simon

F A O AK47,
OK ******** here it is (lol)

STI-8-PPP.
Fist gear is dispatched in a couple of seconds, surging forth in a brutal fashion.
A very quick short throw into second and "****" another gear change, again the surge is awsome.
1 st and 2nd gears a delt with in an amazingly short period, you would not want to be cornering when under full acceleration.
third gear. fly past 60mph and all the time pushing yours and your passengers eyeballs into the back of there sockets.
still plenty of action in forth and fith gears, but the buzz is in the lower part of the gearbox.

The car is very very fast, the gearbox is a delight to blast threw, and having six gears very very easy to keep it on full boost, and there for pulls and pulls.

Peeps on this site have views about the day to day use of the sti, some saying the wrx is easier to live with. Well i have all three generations a classic, a 03 wrx pp, and now a sti-ppp, and i can live with sti day to day no problem, it is no way extreme, only a bit firmer in ride quality, and you can talk figures till the cows come home, the present car i have will better a wrx-ppp in every single department, not only be better, but very much quicker.

All this is in m honest opinion, based on owning the cars not just making up stories.

a very happy "but skint" chris
