ive just bought an sti and i was wondering if people take theyre ppp of when selling theyre car as iat the mo i cant afford a new kit at nearly £2000 so i was just wondering wot would be the best for me
cheers steve

if subaru or prodrive dont fit it you would not have any warranty anyway
and i dont think either would fit 2nd hand parts

so you may as well fit cheaper third party parts in you dont mind losing warranty

my cossy

cheers wot about a dump valve which is the best one on the market at the mo and best place to get one
cheers

chris's scooby

I don't think a dump valve is a good idea as that will knacker your warranty and to be honest if you can't afford to shell out for the PPP i'm guessing you may not be able to cover the cost of a new engine if you mod the car and blow the warranty.

If i were you i'd enjoy the car as is for now whilst saving up for the PPP. Oh and with the PPP your insurance is likely to go up a bit as well.

your car has a very good dump valve allready fitted if you want to make some silly noises waterstones music shop are doing half price trumpets

my cossy

thanks chris im sure i will enjoy on saturday when i pick it up ive got about half the money but im just being tight i guess i thought that the ppp would be like taking your after market bits of to sell seperate but never mind

chris's scooby

There's nothing wrong with being tight!

I've never seen the whole pack up for sale 2nd hand but the odd bits do crop up from time to time on here.

Personally i'd hang on a bit then have it done at the dealers. you may get a slight discount on the PPP as you bought the car from them.

Chris

my cossy

and wot sort of price would i expect to pay
cheers steve

chris's scooby

For a PPP?

There was a thread on here a month or so ago about how much people got off the pack, i think 10% was the most.

hate to sound really stupid but i'm new to the subaru world............does PPP stand for prodrive performance package?

what does it consist of?

16vmarc

yeah thats what it stands for.

You get a remap, intercooler hosing and 3" stainless backbox. High flow sport catalist and uprated fuel pump.

thanks for clearing that up for me mate.

on a wrx bugeye is it better to get a PPP or get aftermarket performance bits?if the cars not under warrenty that is.

what works out cheap and better?(performance wise)

16vmarc

People on here have said they have got better gains from aftermarket parts. The ppp is about £200-300 more than aftermarket with the benefit of the warrenty as you say.

wakeboardar

you also get an upgraded fuel pump
cossy i got ppp for 1800 (04 sti) quid be sure to ask for the old bits back you can sell them on e bay or here
i saw the back box go for 170 quid on e bay although i sold mine for much less
your old fuel pump is an upgrade to the wrx one and goes for about 40 quid

my cossy

cheers mate i will ask them at the garage where im buying it from

what kinda power increase is there on a 2001 wrx with a PPP?

16vmarc

I think its 221bhp to 262bhp??

chris's scooby

I think it's from 215bhp to 245bhp.

16vmarc

225ps = 221bhp

chris's scooby

You didn't put ps marc, you put bhp!

16vmarc

I know!

chris's scooby

LOL!

The figures you quoted were for the blobeye wrx PPP i think. (MY03 onwards)

16vmarc

Were the bugeyes same power as classics then??

Harry_Boy

Correct for a bugeye WRX.

Harry_Boy

Yes

16vmarc

Well i never knew that!!!!

chris's scooby

Ever day's a school day!

16vmarc

so is `every` school day

wow thats some serious jump, i didn't think it was that much from prodrive, and obviously abit more power if i went for aftermarket alternaitves.

thanks for the advice.
