errrmmm

may need to get in touch with prodrive or the original dealer and ask them.

the performance packs on the classics were fitted by prodrive and not at the dealers.

The PPP consisted of
Revised ECU, revised intercooler hosing and a de-cat centre section.
I think.

have a look through your paperwork and if the original receipts are there it`ll tell you which bits were added. Alternatively, I would have thought the dealer that sold it originally would be able to answer your questions

I also have a 1998 model with the full prodrive kit on. Some pictures attached.








Here is some info on the actual packs added to the cars.

The handling pack and performance pack makes a big difference as the car sits a lot lower and the power is constant through the rev range...

its a 1998 prodrive edition, not a wr sport version (it has no stickers in the clocks?) i can see its got the wheels and seats etc, just wondered if it had better suspension, and whats been done to the ecu etc..?

No worries fella...my car is the WR Sport version. started out as a 2000 Turbo from the factory and then went to prodrive for the full works kit. Interior / exterior and PPP kit hence the badges. Not sure what type your's is but i'm sure someone on here will help out

has it got these,

engine performance pack
handling pack (including 17" speedlines)
interior pack
exterior styling pack,

if it has, its possible that the original buyer, specced these options from the dealer, the only difference is that prodrive fitted the wr sport models and the dealer would of fitted all the extra's on a non wr sport car.
