'ello all,

What modificiations would you recommend for a standard 2001 WRX and why?

Makalu

Prodrive Performance Pack - because it preserves your Subaru Warranty!

Expect 20 - 30 BHP extra for £1600. Dealer fitted option now too!
Mak.

swan

Good point, will any mods besides I assume body mods NOT invalidate the warranty?

Tiggs

or ditch the lights for morettes and make it look 30bhp faster

and get a momo **** cause they are cheap but cool.

Tiggs

ps- get some colour coded sills and valve caps.

pps- kidding about the valves

Markus

PPP should be good and won't effect warranty.

Morettes would be a good thing as well.

maybe different wheels.

Brendan Hughes

I'm also interested in this.

PPP is a (big) choice.

Morettes, or consider STI-style lamps if you wish.

Clear lamp protectors and fog lamp protectors - cheaper than replacing a smashed unit.
Xenon headlight bulbs.
Consider a brake upgrade - pads only, or discs and callipers as well if you want to spend a grand or so.
OEM Tyres ain't wonderful for the handling.
I'm getting side strips and a towbar, both to protect me from other loonies, not because I tow anything.

That's the serious stuff. You can add as much tart as your bank balance can take

Mr.Manchester

my first mod would be those stupid orange reflectors, sand the writing off them and paint them asap!

swan

Is the PPP really worth it or an option only because it's a dealer option?

AFAIK it's basically an ECU mod with different exhaust boxes?

swan

Ok, based on research done and feedback from various people methinks as phase 1 I'll be looking at:
Induction system (Cone)
Exhaust system
ECU

Bigger turbo, etc. can come a bit latter.

MRK

A Full decat and a dawes will get you the same gains as the overly expensive PPP. Plus you can pocket the other grand for something like decent brakes.

swan

Excuse the ignorance, what is a "dawes"?

scooby-babe

Its what you open to get into your car,
Mines got 4 of them so it must be really fast

sillysi

scooby-babe,

LOL. I needed that, today is going very slowly.

Tiggs

a PPP car is surley easier to sell than a car with a non standard ecu?

swan

>>a PPP car is surley easier to sell than a car with a non standard ecu?

All things being equal, probably. How many people buy a car with a clear focus on maintaining resale value though? How many people buy a Scooby with resale in mind?
