Was I.
Thats the second time I've been spotted on here. I'll have to start going out after dark.
I waved at another STi7 Prodrive on the Nonts Saras road on Sunday as well.
They must be as common as muck.

Cheers MTR

Saxo Boy,
We are about 200+ miles South of Edinburgh. But still classed as Northerners.

What difference does the WR Sport backbox make over the STi one?

I am half interested!

WR Blue,
Nicer/louder noise and +10 BHP.
It stops it feeling so strangled at the upper rev range.
It reduces the flat spot at 4500/5000 you normally get.
I have advertised it in 'For Sale' section as well.
As I state, it is the only mod you can make without any risk of invalidating your warranty, with the exception of the PPP kit for £2000.

I have E-Mailed you.

Cheers MTR

Think I've seen both of you knocking about, definately two WR blues anyway.

Harry Boy, do you have a private plate that makes car look much older and play football once a week at a large school.

Look out for the Mica Red MY01 with the Scoobynet/SIDC stickers

Barry K,
The PPP for your car is £1650 I think.
On the MY03 it gives you 265BHP and more torque than a STD STi7.

Matthew said they were having one fitted to their MY03 WRX demonstrator.

I am not sure what the claimed power/torque figures are for your MY02, or wether it is the same as the MY03, but it has transformed my car.
It is amazing.

Cheers MTR

Breeze Hill is a district of Oldham, on the way out to Lees. There used to be a secondary school there, don't know if it is still?
For the wags that used to watch Oldham Athletic a popular ditty when they were playing well was "it's just like watching Breeze Hill (brasil)!!"

I know of Breeze Hill school, but i dotn know of St. James on Blackshaw lane. Blackshaw lane is on Shaw Rd isnt it, i only thought Royton & Crompton school was there, but maybe mistaken.

I am also from the area but have not yet moved on to better places.

AFAIK the only schools on Blackshaw Lane were Royton & Cromption and Blackshaw Lane Junior School.
BTW, my Dad was born at No 15 Water Street! (the one that runs onto Blackshaw Lane). I was born in Heyside, Springfield Street but it aint there anymore!

WR Blue,
The stickers are tax disk/day & night vehicle watch (Police sceme)/25 year old & above driver sticker & works parking permit.
Can hardly fit them all on in the unswept area of the screen.

Car has a Prodrive WR Sport back box currently, but is having PPP kit fitted next week, and I will be selling the WR Sport back box for £150 if your interested. And I will fit it for free.

Thats all it will be having, due to warranty issues and cost.

Yes drive it a lot at weekends, not much through the week.

Cheers MTR
