Well you were all right. I have not stopped smiling since I collected it last night.

Pulls very hard now and the soundtrack is superb - a very deep burble.

I just want to keep driving it!! Pics will be added later this week once it has been washed.

How important/desirable is it to fit 18 inch wheels to a MY06 WRX wagon after fitting PPP?

The blurb advises it but would you feel the difference on the road?

Oh and the original wheels/tyres - ebay or on here?

And did you guys retain the original parts that came off your car when the PPP was fitted?

Thanks

If nothing else, it was worth the reduction in tyre noise for me.

Next you will want to go to Powerstation for the stage two handling pack. Then when Warranty runs out try WRC Technologies for the 350 pack (will probably be about 335 as the PPP is unlikely to be what they quote) or tsl 333 or powerstation. Then upgrade of the brakes (Greenwood Racing Development seem to have some good breaking packs) http://domain1046568.sites.fasthosts.com/

You may even want 'noisekiller' helps by taking out vibration from the road and better in car sound. Also 18" pp7's, it never stops.

Loler I thought PPP was good until I got the next upgrade

I'm having PPP fitted to my 06 tomorrow, i plan on taking all the standard parts with me!! In two years time i'll refit them and sell the PPP pack as a whole, that way i'll get more money than just trading in a PPP car.

Trouble is that the dealers 'swap' ecu's with Prodrive so the only bit's you will get back are the fuel pump, centre and back box exhaust sections.

That's why we took the car to WRC technologies for a power run and guess what? You were right, it didn't produce the figures that we quote, it produced 9 bhp more.........

Just saying what it was on my car and yes I can prove it My car had 20,000 miles so of course maybe some loss there just the usual over time.

Hey I started off thinking maybe just a standard STi would be enough but it never is, is it?
