PPP on a standard wrx
Looking at a new wrx for my next company car which is due for change in a couple of months. I am looking at sneeking the pro-drive performance pack on it, does anyone know how this affects fuel economy?
Also looking at in the new grey colour with the 18" pro-drive alloys, any comments?

You'll be wanting one of these then
Got mine just before xmas and had it PPP'd last week - all I can say is go for it, you won't be disappointed
PPP in itself doesn't make the mpg worse I'm led to believe, more likely to be that you'll be tempted to drive it harder though
Mine are the 18" OZ prodrive alloys in anthracite, looks cool with the Crystal Grey I think although darker than I had imagined. I think the wheels are the same for the MY05 WRX but different on this years Sti - someone can confirm no doubt..
Enjoy !

Cheers for the web site Tony, loads of info there.
Cool thanx for the picture, yes the non standard alloys definately set the car off, however the standard rims on the crystal grey car also do actualy look well smart as the colour is nearly idential. I will probably be going for the prodrive rims as on the new WR1!, again colour being pretty complimentary..

PPP is well worth it. On my 03 I can get 32.75mpg keeping it just under boost at 70mph on long motorway hauls, more like 20-24 in the twisties Wouldn't bother with Subaru/Prodrive wheels though. You could get some aftermarket OZ's for much less, 18" Superlegerras are usually around 1k, fitted, with tyres. I'd consider the springs, remembering that if they're ordered with the car, you don't pay for fitting Replica STi (or others) spoliers can be had for as little as 400. A few things worth doing after you've got it are changing the rear droplinks (60 quid) and getting a good geometry set-up done (40-80 quid) to tighten up the handling. You could go the whole hog and do the fronts too, plus an anti-lift kit and uprated ARB's (total around 400 quid)

PPP I believe like most minor mods will make the fuel consumption noticeably worse IF you drive it hard and use the extra power. However, the reduced losses in the exhaust will make the fuel consumption slightly better on a motorway cruise or similar.
Why? What's being left out?

MY05STi wheels are PCD 114.5mm ALL previous Impreza's were PCD 100mm although offset varied greatly on different years/models IIRC

Anyway welcome to the mad house
