Question

Thinking of having the PPP fitted to MY01 any idea of the waiting time to get one ??
Also i've got the full scobby sport zaust,with down pipe and no cats will i notice a great power gain ? and if so i've got approx 245 bhp ( not far off the new sti ! ) at the moment what can i expect to see with the PPP fitted ?

Yeah right!!!

The dealer must be having a laugh - if you do a search on this board there are a bunch of posts from people that have been waiting months and still haven't got a date.....

Wheelright, check with Scoobysport because I seem to remember that there *may* have been an issue with the MY01 PPP's + full SS....

Which planet was that quoted on?????

If you can order now and get one within 2 months you are doing well.

Mine comes on friday after an 10 month wait!!

The car has to be TOTALLY standard or they'll refuse the work.

Ahhhhh..... that makes more sense. Let us poor buggers wait whilst UK300 owners just walk in and get sorted...

IM/Prodrive - if your listening - YOU GUYS SUCK BIG FAT ONES!!!

I was told that the dealers can now fit the PPP. So providing Prodrive aren't holding up the supply of the kits it should depend on how busy your dealer is.

I was told by dealers that they had to give preferential treatment to the UK300 drivers.

I ordered mine at the end of July and go to get it installed tomorrow.

I booked my UK300 in today. It's being fitted next Thursday. My dealer recommended a new set of brakes pads in the rear with a harder compound. Any comments on this?

Cant understand that, rear pads ? main use parking on handbrake, the front do the majority of the work on the road why not replace them or better still all of them !!!

When I ordered my PPP, I was told by them that they would be fitting it. They might find out when I would be getting one by the end of the month and I would be lucky to get to done in November.

It is the 300s that are pushing us back down the lists.
