WAM WRX

Hi Guys,

Have ordered my 05 wrx ppp - my dealer said that prodrive are having problems producing the software and that it is unavailable.

I am taking my car on 30th Nov minus ppp on the premise that I have it fitted in around 6 weeks.

Is this a load of twoddle? Has anyone experienced this?

Cheers

I would email Prodrive direct tbh. Last I heard it was going to be the end of this month for the STi PPP.

Regards,
Shaun.

Where do these stories get made up.........?!?

The 05MY STi PPP IS available NOW

04MY Forester XT PPP IS available NOW

05MY WRX IS on schedule to be available next week, and NO we haven't had problems producing the software.

Regards

Mike

Hi Mike

Thanks for this as my MY05 WRX is booked in on 6 Dec for the install. Can you advise what, if any, difference there is between the MY05 and MY04 PPP on a WRX? Any power/torque differences or just small changes? Thanks

Thanks for clearing that up Mike (too many tales!)

Maybe you could also clear up, once and for all, weather or not you can have PPP fitted to UK spec EU imports here in UK?

I'm all for disspelling as many tales as possible!

Yes you can. My EU import MY02 was PPP'd by a UK dealer over a year ago now.

Mike,

Thanks for clearing that up.... direct from the brake horses mouth!! (In fact I got a phone call today from my local dealer to say it was now available)

Can I suggest you get on to your guys to update your website as it has no mention of the availability yet..... and is most persons first point of call when trying to find stuff out I presume.

Regards,
Shaun.

There are small technical differences between 04 & 05MY cars but the performance packages for 05MY are quoted at the same figures as 03/04MY.


Shaun
Point taken, not had chance to do it yet and we were waiting for WRX to be signed off in any case.

MIKE will you be doing a PPP for the 05 STi with a higher BHP/TORQUE??
I'm still grinning from ear to ear when you took me for a spin on your test track in the STi 7 02 wich had the development PPP. You know how to throw one around!!! LOL
CHEERS CHEESY

No plans at the moment but it may be something we look at in the future. BTW, it was an 02MY so that would have been an STi 8

Thankyou for the kind words and I hope the face isn't aching too much from the grinning


To answer the original question, the 05MY WRX PPP IS now available.

Mike

cheesy

Thanks MIKE
Can now order the PPP. It was a STi 7 02 you took me for a spin in.
CHEERS CHEESY

Thanks

Cheesy - I think what Mike is getting at is that the 01 STI (JDM only) was the STi7, the 02 was the STi8, the latest is the 05 which is STi11, etc - at least in many people's books (hence his ) Meanwhile, some people call all bugeyes STi7s, and all blobs STi8. I think the official line is that they are only called "STi" - i.e. no number. To avoid argument, I'd stick with 02 STi, 05 STi etc . . .

MikeWood

I'm with hades... It's a much simpler system to use and understand

Forgot to mention earlier, for Shaun's benefit, we've also updated the website at www.prodrive.com

They IIRC used to make 3 variations of "PPP" for the 2.0L STiUSDM's and by the way ours was "more bangs pre Buck" than theirs IIRC
