Thumbs up

Buy the afterburner from scoobysport...listen to their soundfiles and you'll know why!

e02923, i have a prodrive back box off the ppp pack , 4" round tail, i got it on here for 150, it sounds the business and is a genuine prodrive product....nice ! my only other mod is colour coded sills. looks good, want high spoiler but they are rare and £900 at main dealer is hard to justify !
p.s i also had a scoobysport back box on it for 2 months but it was too close to bumper and melted the under side of it a little, to say i was gutted was an under statement, so sold it and got a proper subaru part, perfect fit and only a little quieter.

I bought mine end of July and even after an entertaining drive round Brands I still couldn't wait to drive it home

Only fault I've had was a sticky solinoid on the waste gate which was changed immediately.

Just changed the ICE as the standard unit is poor.

I love the car and I've been lucky enough to own some good ones but this is the best by far. Pound for pound it's fantastic value and the following is unlike any other.

In case family are viewing this thread I need....

Full Decat
Pro-Drive Springs (when available)
New tyres as 3 track days didn't agree with them
Front Speakers as new ICE is too powerful for them
And last but not least sorry Debs you can't drive I am

Had mine since april done 2800 miles(use a 02 mondeo for work in the week) ,only fault so far was a leaking o/s/f shock absorber which pissed oil out on my garage floor the day after i picked it up,turned out it was leaking when it left the showroom (same oil patch noticed in the dealer showroom when i took it back).

mods so far:-

sti8 wheels/tyres
wr sport back box
rallytech rear spoiler
colour coded side skirts
sti8 fog lamp covers
3x prodrive decals (front bumper and side skirts)
subaru world rally team decals on sides of spoiler (yellow)
autostyle premier carpet mats (blue/yellow)

god does it put a grin on my face ,just lifting that garage door is all it takes.

draw backs:-boy racers trying to race my missus(she's not been beaten),people gawping when driving around town,stereo and that blinking seatbelt sounder.

The only motor i would change it for is an sti8

My 2003 WRX was rolling roaded on Sunday @ Star Performance and, much to everyones amazement, it hit just shy of 240 BHP, with only a new custom backbox and yes, the road had recently been recalibrated.

Yes, I then questioned why I considered spendiong another 5k on an STI - just the look, image, interior, performance, features, smugness etc. Oh bugger, how to satisfied with a WRX!

Made 4 a very interesting read My 03 is 8500 miles trouble free its fantastic for the money.
My only gripe is the sports seats as fitted to the EU imports i find the base slightly uncomfortable on a long run - its too narrow but the back is very comfortable and supportive for cornering.
I also find the ride a little bouncy on the motorway. Overall very satisfied.

Steve,

It was built and fitted by mates of mine who run C & C custom exhausts in Hillington - you really should check them out.

http://www.stainlessexhausts.com

If calling tell tham that Brian from the Les Mis band sent you. They will do you a great deal and will build an exhaust that is superior to ANYTHING built by Prodrive or the likes.

Grade 304/309 Stainless only - all parts, built for your car, not off the shelf - some boxes can be had off the shelf and all hangers, brackets, pipework built onto the box, properly welded etc.

Don't buy anywhere else - you won't get better,

Brian.
